Review title: My Thoughts on the Saint Saens.......
Product review: Symphony #3 is among my favorite pieces, this perfomance conducted by an "old master," Paul Paray. Current conductors in recent recordings have versions that are blah in comparison. I really like Paray's performance, but there are two annoyances that ruin it for me. In the Poco Adagio towards the end, one of the violins slides (sort of glissandos) into the high notes. Towards the end of the Maestoso, a violin makes a prominent sqeaking noise.I thought the Charles Munch BSO version was much superior both in sonics, recording, musicianship, interpration, excitement, emotion, and punch. If Symphony #3 is one of your favorite pieces, it is good to have both versions, both 'old masters,' and you make the comparison yourself. For me, Munch gets 5 stars and Paray gets 4. However, it just boils down to a matter of preference.From the below reviews, I am now going to give a serious listen to the Mass. Thanks for the reviews on that!Thanks, and cheers to all.
