Kansas City Symphony Saint-Saëns a Gramophone Editor’s Choice!
Gramophone Magazine names the new Kansas City Symphony Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 “Organ” recording a September Editor’s Choice! “…the crucial test is not so much the volume of the organ but the way in which the orchestral context of the symphony as a whole is established.

The Arts Desk Recommends Kansas City Symphony’s Saint-Saëns
Graham Rickson of The Arts Desk listens to the new Kansas City Symphony Saint-Saëns recording: “Saint-Saëns’s La Muse et le Poéte is the rarity here, a 15-minute piece for violin, cello and orchestra.
