<p>Considered throughout much of his career as the preeminent French composer, Camille Saint-Saëns wrote music that embodies a characteristic French concern for clarity and order, together with his own assured mastery of the composer's craft. These qualities are evident in Saint-Saëns' Symphony No. 3, widely regarded as the composer's major orchestral work, and one of the very few to incorporated the organ as a featured instrument.<br>Saint-Saëns wrote this symphony during the period of his greatest creativity -- in the 1870s and '80s -- at which time he also produced such important works as the opera <i>Samson et Dalila, Le Carnaval des animaux, </i>the Piano Concerto No. 4, and the Violin Concerto No. 3. Deeply moving and majestic, the "Organ" Symphony bears all the hallmarks of Saint-Saëns' fluent mastery of orchestral composition. It is reprinted here form an authoritative full-score edition published by Durand et Schoenewerk, Paris.</p>
