Saint-Saens/ - Symphony 3

[Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand] There's excitement aplenty too when Barenboim conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in works by Saint-Saëns. His conception of the Third Symphony is very large-scale; he urges his players onwards with tremendous energy and the result is a performance which is gripping and full of tension from first to last. And in the Bacchanale from Samson et Dalila, the Danse macabre and the Prelude to La deluge the playing has a bright-eyed, almost innocent quality which serves the music well.
