Saint-Saëns - Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 78 “Organ” (WarsawPhil Orchestra, Boreyko, Wilczyński)

[@MusicMan-dv7jg]

Absolutely the best version I have seen online. The director captured every camera shot exactly right, following the music and showing the organist at the right time. The sound engineer is the best. The balance of organ and orchestra is perfect.

[@billace90]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@williamelgin6873]

Exactly. You could tell that the video producer had studied the score and had more shots of the organist playing than I have seen in a recorded performance. I like when the conductor made sure to bring out the duo pianists for their short but important part. (I once saw a performance in the US where the conductor never acknowledged the organist during the final applause.) What a great piece of symphonic music wrapped into 44 short minutes!

[@STEPHANM0ELLER]

Actually, the conductor is the best, and the instrumentalists are marvellous, too! But I agree that the video realisation is very adequate to the music as well!

[@lillyskyboat]

I’m listening to this in my final weeks of pregnancy, classical music has been my way of finding sleep. Hopefully my future baby agrees!

[@heidicakes1165]

I'm a violinist listening to it as I learn this symphony. This orchestra is incredible! The brass and percussion moved me to tears! Bravo! The long standing ovation is well deserved!!!

[@MusicMan-dv7jg]

21:29 Three of the loveliest, most decadent chords in all of music literature. They will give you tooth decay because they are so sweet.

[@happydog68]

BOY, that ending gets me every time. Great music by a great orchestra.

[@TarnawskiJ]

Nie tylko wspaniale zagrane lecz również mistrzowsko zrealizowane pod względem realizatorskim. Niskie ukłony dla reżyserów dźwięku - reprezentujecie naprawdę światowy poziom. Tak się to właśnie powinno robić!!

[@allenbettis8482]

Just an old country boy from Texas. Listened to many classical pieces before, but nothing like this! First time I was emotionally moved by the music and the performance. Bravo!

[@lizhermann4964]

this is, exclusively, my favourite piece of music. it has walked me through and provided comfort in many shadows of my life through the years. and yet, i’m still moved to a blubbering mess when i hear it. the thrill of it never fades, amazing.

[@robertthomson9808]

May I also thank the camera team for their wonderful coverage of the event. i do enjoy seeing the conductor and all the players performing..

[@kiimmaritz2827]

Brilliant..so proud to be a descendant from Poland..proud von Breslau blood from Warsaw....bravo

[@STEPHANM0ELLER]

Exemplary performance in passion and seriosity! Dziękuję!

[@henrymydlarz7486]

I have listened to more than a dozen different performances of the great Symphony. This performance is not just the best - it is MASSIVE! STUPENDOUS! In every way. I congratu;ate you of this Orchestra, this orchestra which makes me proud of my Polish heritage! But now, in August 2021, I feel so sorry for you great people of Poland, in your struggle against this terrible virus! Stay strong! With time, we should recover!

[@STEPHANM0ELLER]

I share your opinion completely, and when I looked at the concert date realised that it was happening on the dusk of the apocalypse!

[@robertthomson9808]

Yet another superb performance by Filharmonia Naradowa. I only downloaded it two hours ago and I am about to enjoy it again on my sound system. Thanks to everyone of you players.

[@englishrose47]

That beautiful, dreamy second movement with that long long final organ chord is genius

[@jriquelmem]

This is one of the concerts, as an organ lover, I can listen to many times. Great rendition, great masterpieces, wonderful musicians.

[@bryangl1]

This work is famous for its exciting last movement, but Saint-Saens provided a feast of musical riches throughout the work, including many of great delicacy (one of my favourite spots in the last movement is the gorgeous rippling sound from the pianists). As always, even with a different conductor to the one I have, in the past, most frequently (and brilliantly) associated with this orchestra, the Warsaw forces give us a performance which is among the best I have heard. And to match this truly great performance, the audio and video engineering, and production, are absolutely first class. I include this orchestra in a small group of ensembles which I consider to be among the world's best, yet apparently remain undiscovered by many music lovers. I am watching this just over 2 years later, when Poland is potentially under threat from Russia - I hope the orchestra carries on through these heart-breaking times.

[@kynoxl78]

Formidable interprétation de l'oeuvre de Camille Saint-Saëns 🇫🇷

[@KevanWilliams]

Wow!!! Resounding.

[@user-szell8134szell]

素晴らしい！！！！！演奏は勿論、カメラワークが最高！これ程の高画質で、実際にホールの一番良い席に座っていたとしても見る事が出来ない各パートの演奏を見る事が出来るとは！本当に素晴らしい。通常は指揮者とソリストだけなのに、最後にオケメンバー全員の名前が表示されるのも好ましい。

[@lornamoffett3326]

I first heard this magnificent work in the 1970s. It was performed in the Tabernacle on Temple Square in SLC, UT. I had not heard it before but oh how it thrilled my soul. I went out and purchased an album featuring this masterpiece. I have listened to it many, many times. I want to, and have, thanked God, our Father and creator, for blessing us with people of great talent who could COMPOSE and PERFORM such thrilling music. Thank you so much

[@Susan-m6v8i]

Superb dynamics

[@jerrera45]

I often listen to the classical music station while driving here in the Southern California desert. Unfortunately, sometimes it just becomes background music while I try to remember what to get at the grocery store or some other mundane thoughts. I have heard this symphony on the radio and never gave it much thought other than I like it. But for the last 44 minutes I have been enthralled like never before. What a magnificent performance. From the audio, camera work, and the wonderful orchestra just absolute perfection. Even the audience was so polite (no endless coughing). Thank you for the gift of music.

[@CJKArchive]

Bravo! Thank you very much Andrzej.

[@rlb2444]

Exemplary presentation of the gorgeous Saint-Sans Symphony No.3. Clearly one of the top two I have ever heard. Not only was the performance incredible but the video quality was like being there. Thank you!

[@marcelouz1]

Thank you very much Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra for giving us happiness and joy in these difficult times that we have confined ourselves (the secod face of the human nature). As always, a great performance in every senses of this magical powerfull and wonderful Symphony of this very special and unique genious that covered almost everything, art, science and philosophy almost an total agnostic or may be gnostic .Masterpiece dedicated to the great Franz Liszt and written in the post-romantic genre to which the later generation of Debussy and Ravel owe him a lot of. it is unique how Saint Saes uses a in the brass section and the organ a kind of "protestant coral" it seems to me to be listening a "hymn from the tabernacle choir". GREAT IN EVERY SENSES!

[@gutri4953]

Fabulous execution, which leaves you spellbound! True masters who work in harmony, delicately but also vigorously. Superb conductor. Never heard the third symphony of Saint Saens so skilfully blended, so fine and full of character. The organ is like an older brother that looms sovereign and beneficial over a team full of magical resources. Saint Saens himself would be delighted!

[@BytomGirl]

Absolutely wonderful, it drew me in from the first minute. I used to live in Poland a long time ago and miss all the concerts I was attending. Maybe one day I will be back...

[@richardarcher3254]

Another wonderful performance. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks to you all.

[@carolinebleszynski5680]

This was a fantastic concert, and a wonderful experience. I couldn't help but cry during the Poco Adagio section of the 1st movement; it was as if the emotion was being pulled out of me entirely involuntarily, from the sternum outwards. The Maestoso of course was as magnificent as the name implies. My sincere thanks to Andrzej Borejko, Piotr Wilszyński, and the philharmonic orchestra (particularly the double bass, my eternal idols).

Thanks Filharmonia Narodowa musicians, maestro, soloists, the excellent technical team and everybody responsible for this very well done video: Great artistic level, the sound is simply spectacular and, finally, perfectly synchronized images.

Everything about this performance, the capture and presentation thereof, here, is immaculate! Thank you Filharmonia Narodowa for this wonderful gift! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@jonboz7585]

Very nicely done, indeed. So wonderful to see the extended applause, and the recognition of the individual orchestral performers along with soloists. The conductor is to be commended for his excellent leadership.

[@stefanoterrazzo]

Wonderful!

[@nestorjlimph]

Bravo!

[@violinhunter2]

I knew this would be magnificent and it was!!! Bravo!!!! Thank you. (This is not one of my favorite works by Saint Saens because of the devilish rhythms in the first movement - he could easily have simplified it but I think it was his playful nature which made him insert all of that quick syncopation filigree which serves no purpose except to confuse the listener - and sometimes the player - as to where the beat really is.)

[@paullewis2413]

Can’t agree - I think the first movement is absolutely brilliant, then again the whole work is - one of the pinnacles of the Romantic Movement in music. The conductor’s dramatic tempo changes in the last movement are a bit odd. Needless to say the Warsaw Philharmonic respond with their usual highest standard.

[@FilharmoniaNarodowa]

0:00 Adagio - Allegro moderato. Poco adagio 22:33 Allegro moderato - Presto. Maestoso - Allegro
