Saint-Saëns - Organ Symphony, Finale!!!

[zacharycat]

Saint Saens maybe lived too long. By 1921 his music was mostly forgotten (old fashioned romantic).

[TheRobertTaggart]

All aboard the SS Organic !

[WMUFluteCre]

I played this is high school with our local youth orchestra with the Kalamazoo Symphony. It was so cool to have the organist and pianist play with us! This will always remain one of my favorite pieces!!

Que toute vie prenne forme !

Que tout être s'épanouisse !

Que tout porte fruit !

Que tout jaillisse en couleurs, élans et cris de joie !

Que toute créature s'élance vers le ciel !

[MrBurdett007]

I could listen to this endlessly.

[godzilloid]

I first heard this live in Kleinhan's Music Hall in Buffalo, NY. When the organist hit that first note, I swear, people in the first row were blown out of their seats. 

[omgELIZABETHHH]

I fell in love with this piece when I was little and watched the movie Babe heh

[moltoallegro19]

@omgELIZABETHHH Awesome movie, awesome music.

[zenmusicguy]

saint-saens 3rd symphony is arguably one of the 3 greatest french symphonies of the 19th century(the others being berlioz symphonie fantastique and franck symphony in d minor)...he achieved, in this work, power, pathos, intense drama, fabulous melody and profundity....merci. maitre saint-saens pour une vari chef d'oeuvre!

[psychomusicanana]

@zenmusicguy

I know so many people whose life it changed completely. It rivals videogames!

Who's playing? Who's conducting? Only Camille wrote for a piano and an organ in an orchestra. This guy was illuminated!

[nseda1988]

I will Choreograph my Anastasia Ballet out of this Music its esquisite

[IYAMNI]

WOW. That Organ is HUGE. Much better than any version I've heard before. Must find this rendition. Thanks for posting.

My only wish is to make classical music more available to people not to exploit copyrighted material.

[psychomusicanana]

@moltoallegro19 I want to know what recoding that is. I love the Ormandy one, and the Von Karajan, and I think there's one with the Boston Symphony. I'm looking for the best one!

[moltoallegro19]

@psychomusicanana I'm very sorry to say that I do not have any information on the performers.

0 dislikes...damn right!



[pauldquam1]

I have listened to a dozen performances of this great masterpiece, and you have

provided a fairly good audio recording of this on YouTube. Some don't even hear

the distortion of high levels.. But you have done well.  Many thanks.

[Ernestiqus]

Look at Diogenes, spread across the stairs like a bum.

[Fester3620]

:") are more words needid?

[smceo28]

@Fester3620 lol i was trying to comment on this piece... i really had nothing to say! this is flawless! haha

[psychomusicanana]

@Fester3620 Words fail, but we want to share the ecstasy. You got a better idea?

[Genty101]

This, or One Direction..... I know what I'd rather listen to! ;)

[whiskytangofoxtrot1]

This one goes up to 11!

[TAfTfilms]

I am finding it hard not to favorite ever version of this song I find. Possibly the greatest song in history. That is not an exaggeration.

[psychomusicanana]

@TAfTfilms No it's an epic underestimation. This is not a song: It's a SYMPHONY.  :D

[ChrissysVideokids]

5 Stars....Wonderful! This is music....ein Meisterwerk der Klassik...Fantastisch! ....die Steigerungen von pp zu ff, einmalig....die immer wieder einsetzende Orgel phänomenal...Nicht zu vergessen die Bläsereinsätze, dazwischen die zarten beruhigenden Streicher.....Saint-Saens hat hier seinen Höhepunkt an schöpferischen Schaffens abgeliefert...

[moltoallegro19]

@ChrissysVideokids I didn't understand much of that, but I think I agree.

[psychomusicanana]

@moltoallegro19 - Auf Deutsch - anyone can type into a translator, but the feelings are the same in every language -- no maybe better in German: The language of love (if you're singing, it's Italian and if you're Camille - well, he was in touch with the cosmos)!

Oops - Google thinks I'm spamming, so I'll shut up. :D

[0OoFACUoO0]

What a fantastic masterpiece, mostly enjoyable!

[elliottlowen]

that will do, pig.  That will do

[Tom60062]

@elliottlowen Babe for the win! :D

[fleetwoodforever]

Apoteósico video y música simplemente apoteósico, gracias por compartir este video.

[moltoallegro19]

@fleetwoodforever De nada :)

[MrCellodj]

Still cant get over this piece hey!!!

[PineyWhitepine]

i would weep more if i saw this live.

incredible!

[Sasquatch1877]

Going to see this performed tonight live by the Seattle Symphony. Amazing organ they have...

[javajo46]

Plug the sub-woofer in and turn the Volume up!!! My absolute number one fave piece of music, and my favorite movement too!! THANK YOU!!! :)

[baiba6]

Thank you thank you, for putting this music to Michel Angelo's sistine chapel (i think), its grand thanks I have seen it with my own eyes in the Vatican City and it was amazing

[moltoallegro19]

@baiba6 Sorry for my late response, but yeah, they go very well together, don't they? But this fresco (Scuola di Atene) is actually in the Apostolic Palace :)

[baiba6]

@moltoallegro19 oh! woops my memory is rusty now as it was so long ago that I was in Italy. Anyway a very fitting illustration for a great masterpiece of music!

[moltoallegro19]

@baiba6 No worry :)

[baiba6]

This is unreal to see it performed 'Alive'!!!! 

[joghull]

@baiba6 - It's even better to be the ones performing it :-)

[baiba4]

@joghull Oh I am so jealous of you !!  It must be indescribable to be performing this!

[joghull]

@baiba4 - It stands out as one of the highlights of my young life. About 12 years ago, I performed this with the Spokane Youth Symphony in the Spokane cathedral with a rocking organ :-)

[happywandy457]

HappyWandy457 This is such a superb composition, that any kind of interpreters

will gain approval from public. In this case - I think - the tempi are rather too quick, so that the main theme cannot flow as subtle it would by letting both

pianos (I believe so) could bring violins in heaven . . . Also the coda comes

as it might be to long for the conductor: Control is necessary here!
