AN OLD ORGAN FAVORITE RETURNS

I bought this CD to again, after many years, hear E. Power Biggs' take on the Saint-Saens Symphony #3. I had this on vinyl many years ago, so it was time to re-visit it.

Biggs gives a good account of this "war-horse," considering the ultra-dry acoustics of The Academy of Music in Philadelphia. This room is great for orchestra, but the acoustics are so dead that the Aeolian-Skinner organ suffers immensely. And, given the fact that Biggs wouldn't use full organ, even if his life depended on it, it's a shame that this organ, now since removed, doesn't have a better representation.

The Philadelphia Orchestra, on the other hand, is in top form under Eugene Ormandy...get the later Virgil Fox recording, even though it is on a Rodgers electronic, it "rocks" compared to this. The next music, "The Carnival of the Animals" is great fun also. Entremont doesn't get the "Ormandy" sound, but it's great anyway! Well worth the price!Lire l'avis complet...
