Truly the king of instruments, the pipe organ possesses an unequalled range of sound – its thunderous, earth-shaking bass ascends to eerily birdlike tones. In Jongen’s exhilarating Symphonie Concertante, organ and orchestra are equals, culminating in a brilliant Toccata finale. Junichi Hirokami conducts Saint-Saëns’ masterful Organ Symphony – full of joy, innovation and uplifting themes.
