Title: My mistake for avoiding this masterpiece
Review: I had heard the other symphonies (many more than once) before I decided to listen to the Eighth while - of all things - cutting my grass. I don't remember the yard but I do remember that the first thing I did after my shower was to find this CD and play it. What a revelation!!!In scope, it is the most ambitious, in sound, the most varied, in quality, perhaps the best. I have to agree with the other reviewers that both the playing and the sounds of this long work are just fantastic. One can almost imagine Widor sitting at his organ, composing and playing alternatively, trying out various melodies, harmonies and techniques. This recording rivals any of my other organ CDs. Bravo!
