HiFi+ Magazine names the Kansas City Symphony’s new Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 recording one of their favorites:
“Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3 with organ, know as the Organ Syphony, is filled with virtuoso flourish, making for a sure fire showpiece for a hi-fi system. … Of the audiophile labels recording new works no label has ddone more for so long as Keith Johnson’s Reference Recordings. This is the fourth of Reference’s recordings with the Kansas City Symphony. … Of course the draw here is the Organ Symphony and Kansas City’s Helzberg Hall, and Julia Irene Kauffman Casavant are up to the task with gorgeous acoustics and world-class pipes. …and the organ seems to plum the depths with more bone rattling effect than others. This one now stands among my favourite versions.” —Dennis Davis, HiFi+ Magazine
