SAINT-SAENS Symphony No.3 Charles Munch Conducts The Boston Symphony Orchestra Berj Zamkochian, organ New & Sealed 180 gram Vinyl LP
Record label/brand: Classic Records/RCA LSC-2341 upc/mpn: None year: 1958
Original Classic Records pressing on 180 gram vinyl. Out of print and growing harder and harder to find, the 180g versions are preferred by collectors over the later 200 gram pressings.
Record is new and still sealed in it's original plastic sleeve. Perforation is completely intact. There are no flaws or imperfections... 100% MINT.
Review: This recording was a remarkable achievement when it was released in the 1950's, and it is no less amazing today. The engineers had everything going for them: the marvelous Symphony Hall acoustics in Boston; the world's foremost conductor of French music at the time, Charles Munch; and the BSO in their glory days.
The balance found between organ and orchestra is ideal and while the most obvious place to notice this is in the final movement, you can also hear the organ details extraordinarily well in the first and second movements. The whole symphony, from first to last, moves along as if it has a wonderful purpose. It is difficult for me to find any fault in this performance or recording. I'm not absolutely convinced it is the finest in the catalogue, as I really love Paray's account with the Detroit Symphony on Mercury from the same time period which can boast even more powerful organ sound and a bit more bite in final movement. However, the Detroit orchestra cannot match the BSO for beauty of sound and refinement.
The Debussy and Ibert couplings are also superbly performed if not as gloriously recorded. Again, Munch's interpretations of these French gems are unbeatable. ~ Amazon
