The Grand Symphony no. 3 for Organ and Orchestra

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns & Virgil Fox & Eugene Ormandy & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Vladimir Sokolov

The Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78, for organ and orchestra is the third symphony by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, completed and first performed in 1886. Scored for a large orchestra with a prominent pipe organ and structured in two broadly contrasting movements made up of connected sections, it exemplifies French Romantic orchestration and represents a major late-career work that helped define Saint-Saëns's contribution to symphonic repertoire.
First released: 1992
