Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78 performed at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music by David Bernard conducting the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony with Kayi Wang & Maxim Lando, Pianists and Paolo Bordignon, Organist

Symphony No. 3 is Saint-Saëns’s most complete, definitive artistic statement, showcasing the pinnacle of his artistic voice. It is the moment where all of his gifts converge—the organist’s architectural vision, the pianist’s virtuosity, the composer’s clarity and balance, and the thinker’s rigor. The orchestra and organ fuse into a single monumental instrument. Every movement, phrase, and moment is purposeful: striking harmonies, contrapuntal brilliance, soaring melodies, radiant lyricism, and riveting energy create a work both intellectually masterful and deeply moving. It is the culmination of a lifetime of craft transformed into greatness, the piece that embodies everything Saint-Saëns achieved, and the work by which his genius is measured.
