Here is the recording of the inaugural concerts of the Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique at Maison symphonique de Montréal, which feature the great organists Oliver Latry and Jean-Willy Kunz alongside the OSM and Kent Nagano. For grandeur and majesty, few symphonies can stand beside the Third Symphony of Saint-Saëns. The album also includes the world premieres of wonderful works by composers Samy Moussa and Kaija Saariaho.
Imposing and grandiose
"A stylish and well-paced performance of (inevitably) Saint-Saëns's Third Symphony joins two engaging world premieres for organ soloist and orchestra, all masterfully shaped by Kent Nagano…as always, Olivier Latry is utterly assured, beguiling and imperious as appropriate, both in the Saariaho and the Saint-Saëns" (BBC Music)
