Please helpme, Ustedes conocen la cancion que aparece en charly and the factory of chocolate, cuando estan en el cuarto de la television y ponen esa musica?? Como se llama esa cancion?
I recall hearing that tune in the movie "Babe." It was TOTALLY different from this familiar orchestral version. More like a popular song. If you've seen "Babe" you might recall that tune.
Have tried many versions and this is a cracker!!. Ceiling cracker , ear cracker. Wonderful sound recording. Would like to SEE it but the sound ityself is something special. THANKS
The thing so great about CSSaens is how perfect a sense he has for using the different qualities of the orchestra. The use of woodwinds, brass and strings is beyond brilliant. Everything is a perfect fit.
***** Was soll man dazu noch sagen, dies ist die absolute fantastische Aufnahmequalität...Nach so einem eindringlichen perfekten SOUND strebt doch jedes Aufnahmeteam...
lol, this track is the last track on the cd. Better save the best for last, rite? :D
This composition is definitely up there in my favorite classical music collection with Edvard Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen" and Jacques Offenbach's "Can Can"
To those who are complaining the organ is too loud or too close, remember these three factors, 1) It's from an ORGAN BLASTER CD, 2) It's called and Organ symphony, 3)This song isn't american, it probably was meant to be played differently than how we may view it. Of course America's generation today is mostly hip hop rap or R&B
Right on! Very well said. This is a stunning rendition of this exquisite piece of music. In fact, if the organ were even more prominent I'd like it even more.
@naterc93 "Of course America's generation today is mostly hip hop rap or R&B"
Bit of an over-generalization, don't you think? And there's plenty of legitimately good hip hop (mostly underground stuff done by artists not out to make a buck).
@n8dogg87 You're right, there is good hip-hop here. But I never said America's current generation today is mostly BAD hip-hop, rap, or R&B. I just said Hip-hop,Rap, or R&B. :)
I hardly bothered to read all the comments. But if you knew St. Francis de Sales parish church in University Park / West Philadelphia, the place is like the Hagia Sophia. It's interior is brick and marble, capped with a huge dome. The organ is seven manuals: the largest church organ in the Philadelphia area (probably the state). The organ sounds so much better in person.
The entire piece, all movements, is fantastic when played right. I used to use the Massive Organ chord as an alarm clock to wake my kids. Worked every time. No jumping or flinching; they rose right up.
This is not to say that it's a bad instrument (FAR from it!!!!) - it merely shows why such a sound isn't always the best in all environments. [Another thing: was the organ too close-miked - when less reverb is present, it's better to move the microphones further away.]
Stunning orchestral playing, notably the brass!!! On a good day, American orchestras can give a real run for the money to most European ensembles. Also, would love to see this organ's specification!! Great recording!!!
The organ sounds like a true French-Romantic instrument minus the reverberant acoustic that usually mellows out the sound-image. That's why the St. Ouen recording (Mariss Jansons/Oslo-Philharmonic/Wayne Marshall) sounds so much kinder to the ears. Without the proper acoustical environment, a Cavaillé-Coll or equivalent can be too raspy - a major reason why followers of that great master like Casavant tamed their stops in smaller spaces, frequently using more British sonorities.
my favorite peice haha and im a metal head buuuuut i do tend to listen to this and that. i wish the band at my school would play this i would have a blast playing this!!!!!
Of all the recordings of the last movement of the symphony number 3 by Saint Saens, I just wish that somehow.... sometime there will be a recording where the organ is not compleatly drowned out... in other words you can definalty clearly hear the 16 hertz fundamental cords in that movement.
@alpha1antripson Bish's version has a pretty clear pedal part, though the quality of the recording doesn't really give you the 16 Hz tone. (She uses an aggressive registration for the pedals.)
@mmtrebuchet I have just noticed that you have replied on the recording of the Saints Saens Sym. No. 3 Maestoso. You are correct instateing that the 16 Htz Peddle at the beginning of the Saints Saens Maestoso is very hard to pick up, even on a very good stereo system. It seems that though all the time the mid range and highs of all recordings drowns out the 16 Htz. The 16 Htz just needs to be hopped up a lot so it will come through and make a recording just super good.
A prime example of the power of the organ when played by someone of considerable skill, with a piece by one of such talent and creative genius as C. Saint-Saens. From the humbling opening chords to the resounding conclusion, I am rendered speechless, and, more often than not, to tears by its "triumph-thru-tragic" message.
how, wait. You all don't have to attack me. I was just wandering how the song would sound without organ (for example piano). I think the organ is too overwelming. Violins play a great melody in the intro that the organ take's over and for me it doesn't sound right. And yes, I know it's a maestoso, but the name is not important. The music is.
This is just a question of taste. I think Saint Saens is a genius.
I'm listening this on DT 770 PRO Beyerdynamic headphones ... and it's beyond epic ... I can FEEL the low keys of the organ vibrating my ears ... LOL ...
@timo906 With all due, respect sir, i'd say the organ is actually quite subtle, for an organ symphony; the orchestra introduces all the new musical ideas, and this is mearly repeated by the organ, often as an undertone to the orchestra (2:22, for example)
I do take your point, however about the tutti registration being a little agressive sometimes...
What you don't hear but can feel is that the organ is always running, but the keys are so low you can't really hear them if you don't have the right equipment or haven't heard it live! The organ is the highlight. But I guess it's a question of taste.
@timo906 With respect Saint Saens composed the symphony specifically for organ It wasn't ever intended by the composer to be played sans organ I think its a bit like criticising a sports car for only having 2 seats. It's not as though someone has taken a piece like Pachelbel's Canon in D & decided to play it on an organ
Canon is one of my favourites as its so gentle & relaxing but I love a variety of music so the incredible earth shaking vibrations of the organ in this piece are enjoyable too
This piece is so exciting when preforming in a church hall with an amazing organ! I'm a trumpet player so I had the honor of sitting right in front of the bass bone. This was one of, if not, the best piece I have ever played. So much expression and tension!
Yes and what’s worst is that on every you tube video of this movement there are posts going on about Babe. I feel like saying Yeah you’ve discovered late Romanticism great he’s a cracker, but really is that the best you can come up with? How about saying something about HIS music rather than mentioning it was stuck in some film. It’s the artistic equivalent of saying “ oh that guy is Johns brother” rather than acknowledging that he is a person too.
@DCTheGuitarist I don't know who put my comment up, I think it may of been my sister'but thy did ruin it, I'm not a musical genius but I feel that they ruined the complexity and the emotion of the song.
I read from a magazine article that this was indeed Eugene Ormandy's final recording with the Philadelphia Orchestra before retiring. At least he went out with a blast.
About 80 years ago Piero Coppola - grandfather of the film director, Francis Ford Coppola - recorded the Saint-Saens 3rd and I've always thought that recording and performance has held up fairly well for its age. Not sure it is on YouTube. If not, perhaps someone could post it. Rather good sound off the 78's for a 1929 recording.
very awesome! do you have the telarc cd of seiji ozawa conducting beethovens symphony no.5? very impressive piece! came out during the infancy of cd,s and "digital" recordings! enjoyed this! thanks!
This is my favorite recording the Symphony # 3, bar none!
And everyone is right about Telarc possibly causing damage. I had a few Telarc digitally recorded LP's and the needle would hop during louder passages! (yeah, I'm old!)
I've listened to most of the ones posted, and even tho' one of the others was also conducted by Ormandy, this is the most powerful! Amazing, breathtaking! A new respect for Saint-Saens.
Michael Murray occupies a nice chuck of shelf space in my collection of organ CDs! Im also into harp music, and TELARC really scored big when they signed on Yolanda Kondonassis. Yes, TELARC does produce nice sound right along with NAXOS, HYPERION, DELOS, MARQUIS, MD&G, and DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON among others. Lets pray that classical labels dont succumb to the loudness wars.
While this recording sounds great on any system, make sure to enjoy it at a high volume on a great system with a properly setup subwoofer!!! (Thanks to my friend Gary T for introducing me to this! :-)
WARNING: There are two different Telarc CDs of this same peice and the later one is weak in comparison! Get this one, which was is the earlier of the two.
@earthpeace18, I really like this post and if you want to see aother really fine performace check youtube "Camille Saint-saëns Symphony No.3 'Organ Symphony' - 4th Mov. == Olivier Latry (organ) Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France conducted by MYUNG-WHUN CHUNG." Really great video and sound quality. I hope you enjoy it.
@csheff1014 I remember that CD! It was one of the very first digitally-mastered CDs available - the recording was made very early on (for a digital recording). But I find Telarc's recordings a bit dry somehow. Impressive but they never really convey the acoustics of the performance space.
@SordidGuy I know what you mean. The only positive thing I can draw from it is that at least more people are being exposed to his music this way. Not in the way we would choose, of course, but I do wish more people would give music like this a chance.
That's actually how I first came across this piece. Of course, the original - as heard here - is much, much more magnificient. I immediately asked my aunt to get the CD for me. She's a music teacher - made her very happy. ;)
csheff1014, I cannot thank you enough for posting this! Absolutely fantastic and brings back memories of my college days as a music major. THANK YOU!!!!!
I have heard this piece of music used many times in film or television work, but until right now i never knew that it was composed by Saint-Saens or that it was from his third symphony & entitled "Maestoso". Anyway, it is WONDERFUL!!!.
It was several years ago when I first heard this beautiful piece while visiting France at Epcot Center in Florida. I remember well the overwhelming feeling while listening and watching, and to this day I still believe it to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
Sans aucun doute la plus belle symphonie pour orgues et orchestre qui existe. Excellent enregistrement - absolument magnifique. Le 'Maestoso' est simplement formidable.
I first heard this piece when I watched the movie "Babe". I cried after hearing the piece. I remeber just completely bawling my eyes out and my father continuously asked me what was wrong. The only thing I managed to mutter was "I'm so happy!" This piece drips with awesomeness.
Wonderful version! The sound stage, even squashed on youtube is wide and airy and each section is defined and crisp. And the organ... it is one *huge* sounding instrument!

Beautiful job on this! I've been looking for a nice recording to listen to. The other ones have either a bad organ or bad brass.

yep. my 1812 Overture blew out the foam on an old set of JVC's when that CD was first released!

@csheff1014 I remember that CD! It was one of the very first digitally-mastered CDs available - the recording was made very early on (for a digital recording). But I find Telarc's recordings a bit dry somehow. Impressive but they never really convey the acoustics of the performance space.

Does anyone have more information (e.g. stoplist etc.) on that organ? Can't find anything via Google...

This masterpiece is WAY too magnificent to be compared to a PIG! What an insult to Saint Saens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@SordidGuy I know what you mean. The only positive thing I can draw from it is that at least more people are being exposed to his music this way. Not in the way we would choose, of course, but I do wish more people would give music like this a chance.

That's actually how I first came across this piece. Of course, the original - as heard here - is much, much more magnificient. I immediately asked my aunt to get the CD for me. She's a music teacher - made her very happy. ;)

This TELARC disk is the best recording ever I have heard.
Conductor and orchestra had a great job, and also the hall tone is beautiful.
Thanks to TELARC recording system, the recording was performed with very wide range of frequency.
I recommend you to listen to this CD with a big speaker system.
This is the best CD I have.

I love TELARC, too. All their stuff. My 1812 CD blew a set of speakers of mine a while back (the old foam kind).
csheff1014 2 years ago
I have heard this piece of music used many times in film or television work, but until right now i never knew that it was composed by Saint-Saens or that it was from his third symphony & entitled "Maestoso". Anyway, it is WONDERFUL!!!.

It was several years ago when I first heard this beautiful piece while visiting France at Epcot Center in Florida. I remember well the overwhelming feeling while listening and watching, and to this day I still believe it to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

Sans aucun doute la plus belle symphonie pour orgues et orchestre qui existe. Excellent enregistrement - absolument magnifique. Le 'Maestoso' est simplement formidable.

I first heard this piece when I watched the movie "Babe". I cried after hearing the piece. I remeber just completely bawling my eyes out and my father continuously asked me what was wrong. The only thing I managed to mutter was "I'm so happy!" This piece drips with awesomeness.
