Five Star Kansas City Saint-Saëns Reviews
Amazon listeners are weighing in on The Kansas City Symphony’s Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 “Organ” recording: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best recording of Saint-Saen’s “Organ” Symphony I’ve heard so far. The dynamics are so amazing, especially in the last movement, that it gives me goosebumps listening to it. My listening equipment isn’t top end, so I can’t really hear the absolute low notes from the organ, but it’s still amazing. I can’t wait to hear this on a…

The pieces range from thoughtful to silly-grin-inducing to chaotic, thunderous, and dramatic. I can picture a number of these pieces becoming part of the standard repertoire. The performance is beautiful, and at times seemingly impossible –…
A Fun Amazon Review for Elgar/Vaughan Williams
We have good news for Amazon Reviewer David Rowe who left the following Amazon.com review: What a wonderful disc with which to start the year. Superlative Reference Recordings HDCD sound is just the beginning. And to that point I must admit to being extremely disappointed this wasn’t released in SACD as was Kansas City’s other RR recording (of Britten), which is one of the most spectacular SACDs ever made. But, not to worry – amazingly…
