Title: Saint-Saens: Symphony No. 3, 'Organ'. Topic: Orchestral. Studio: Naxos Music UK. No Of Discs: 1. Missing Information?. Condition: New. Country/Region of Manufacture: USA.
This version of the Saint Saens Symphony #3 is what I call audiophile grade. That is to say, for the phonograph record crowd. It has low dynamics, a distant perspective, no individual instrument delineation, and overall ho hum sound. I was hoping for the sound I hear at 5th - 10th row center experienced in the concert hall that I get on other labels.
I have a Yamaha Aventage based 11 channel audio system with over 6000 watts in an acoustically treated listening room that can faithfully recreate the concert hall so this recording is not for me.
If you're an analog audiophile with a low power system, who reveres 1960 phonograph record sound, this may be your favorite version of the piece.
As for the conducting and playing, that of course is in the ears of the beholder. I like Leonard Slatkin's conducting style.
