About This Song

About "Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 78 "Organ Symphony": II. (b) Maestoso. Allegro" by Cristian Măcelaru

A second rendering of the same finale, this one feels even more expansive, the maestoso stretched to its limit. Măcelaru allows the organ's low pedal to resonate longer, the silences between chords heavier. It's a performance that treats grandeur as a kind of solemn ritual, each swell a prayer, each climax a benediction.
