A French Composer , a German orchestra, an Islandic women playing the organ and not least an Italian conducting ii! What a super presentation to this glorious symphony,!!!
Iveta Apkalna is Latvian, not Icelandic, but yes, excellent remark on the diversity that brought us this outstanding concert
That's the beauty of an orchestra. We who are members of one just ask that you have a heart for music, an instrument, and a willingness to play and you'll be accepted.
@@thermosome7815 Thanks for information!
My local orchestra (Dallas Symphony Orchestra) performed this when I was 17-years-old (in 2009) and I'll never forget it. I went the week of my birthday. The organ blasted me back against my seat as I was overwhelmed with involuntary tears of joy and triumph. The notes soared as the orchestra seemingly bathed the entire symphony hall with light, swept space clean, and left nothing but the joy of an unobstructed effort.
I will be enjoying this masterpiece this weekend (in 2024) @ DSO. Can't wait for the experience.😊
Well said. I have similar experiences with such music in concert halls, especially when I sit relatively close where the sound is louder. The ending of Shostakovich 5th is similar. But the timpani is coupled with a bass drum which makes it even more overwhelming.
Good words. I experienced similar in Prague some years ago when I sat in front of Prague Philharmonic, and they were playing Richardt Strauss "Also sprach Zarathustra"! Suddenly, without the slightest "telling me" teardrops ran down my face...and I was completely in the hands of the music and a wonderful orchestra!
Saw this performed live at St. George’s Hall Bradford last night by the Belgian National Orchestra. Storming performance, ten minute standing ovation. When the organ came crashing in like a thunderbolt at the start of the final movement I nearly fell over the Dress Circle balcony! 😮😲
Yeah,....that organ entrance always wakes people up, after being lulled into a sense of quiet peace in the 2d movement. I always get ready for it by an advance study of the audience faces, as I know they will be stunned....and they always are.
This is one of my favorite symphonies. The part that I really love is where the organ joins full-throated into the rest of the orchestra.
First time I saw this (I had never heard of it before) was w/ the San Fran. Symph. many years ago w/ Jan Pascal Tortilier as the conductor. It blew me away so I pretty much memorized it; I've seen it many times since and I get so into it that I end up mimicking the kettle drum player during many parts. One day at Disney Hall in L.A. I sat behind the orchestra, and just happened to be sitting next to June Lockhart, and after it was over she said: "how can you do that ?.....you knew all the parts !"
WUNDERVOLL IM KLANG UND TREMPI. RELAXEN WIRD GANZ EINFACH. GUTE LAUNE GARANTIERT, DANK AN DAS ORCHESTER UND DIRIGENT.
Auf die Plätze, fertig ? Los....fur relaxing oder Krieg
FAN-TA-STIC, OUT-STAN-DING !!!!! I have no words !!!! Never heard such a more passionate final !!!! It makes one's soul vibrate ! Great Director, great organist, great orchestra and a special thank you to the video director and cameramen: it is for their great work that we can enjoy such an oustanding concert !
I so agree with you.
WOW! Stunning.
There were more people in music history without words .... ;-)) czcams.com/video/klCvrpy8LwU/video.html
The “background team” make such a difference to the overall enjoyment, well done to them, and, of course, the fantastic musicians too. Thank you
I chose the Adagio / 2d movement / to speak over, at my mom's graveside service. RIP Mom.

@@duranayou This might be true my friend! I always have goosebumps during this part.
Der Orgelpart könnte gut bei der WWE als Einspielmusik für The Rock dienen.
Terrific Performance of the world,s greatest organ symphony of all time !!!!!
Wow! What an ending ! The conductor s eyes glued on the timpanist pounding the last strokes on the timpani drums. BRAVO
most underrated pro orchestra. Incredible sound, even better interpretation.
To hear the piano play inside the score instead of solo makes this one of the greatest accomplishment s beyond BRAVO WAHUUUUU
I'm sorry but it's an organ not a piano. It's called an organ symphony for a reason :)
@@kendalm550 Did you even listen to the symphony? xD
@@xZyrux yes I listened to the ORGAN symphony, it's ansolutely fantastic. I invite you to visit the respective piano and organ wikipedia pages if you got through the whole thing thinking it was a piano xD
Excellent. The orchestra's timing, synchronization and punctuation is perfect. So tight. I don't know how they do it.
I'm so happy that I can hit "7" on my keyboard and it goes straight to the most famous part of this great piece!
This is by far THE up and coming orchestra in Europe! Every live performance has been nothing but IMPRESSIVE!!! I only pray that before I pass into the big concert hall in the sky, I have an opportunity to conduct this GREAT Orchestra.
Auf Deutsch:
Das ist mit Abstand DAS Nachwuchsorchester in Europa! Jeder Live-Auftritt war nichts als BEEINDRUCKEND!!! Ich bete nur, dass ich, bevor ich in den großen Konzertsaal im Himmel gehe, Gelegenheit habe, dieses GROSSE Orchester zu dirigieren.
Totally agree, my favourite
Nothing up and coming. This orchestra is right at the top with a handful of others.
The sheer JOY expressed by the musician in their playing of the last movement brought tears to my eyes. Bravo! Brava! What a performance!
Yes, they played with all their hearts and souls!
Honestly this symphony is one of my favorite
This is the most excited I've felt in 20 years! Pure emotion!
Great peace. Great orchestra. Iveta was incredibly magical in the organ. Riccardo did an amazing job directing. The timpani player leaved me breathless.
Bravo
I really haven't been aware of or heard much Saint Saens but, after this, I think that will change. I love the transition at about the 30:30 mark which left me with goose bumps. I have listened to this piece three times today. To me, this is what music should provide the listener and it did. Absolutely lovely!
Yes, absolutely, the transition from the end of 3rd movement into the 4th one , with the orgue incipit is the best part of all the concert, along with the 4 hands piano shortly after the beginning of the 4th movement. I enjoy comparing that bit in various interpretations and I have found out that some make use of a firm heystroke at the end of the sequence (played by the right piano player) which becomes the "sparking signal" for the whole orchestra (orgue first) to move on... I always loved C S-S since I was a young boy, classical music is a divine gift to humankind !!! Thank you Lord for the music !
@@EnricoMRemondini Try listening to: La Muse et le Poete, 2nd Cello Concerto, 3rd Violin Concerto, 1st and 2nd Piano Concerti and Samson et Dalila.
@@tonyvillamotte4339 I tried: czcams.com/video/zaazr-KLI2g/video.html FAN-TAS-TIC !!!! I expected that... Camille is always giving out the best in terms of power and virtuosism and all the rest just towards the end !!!! Thank you for suggesting it !
Oh yes, his chamber works, piano concertos, and the Africa Fantasy are my favorites.
I totally agree.
That majestic and powerful chord by the Organ in C Major at 30:30 always gives me goosebumps!
The first movement of this Symphony is just pure, masterful art. Transcendental, universal art.
Magnificent. Absolutely magnificent! Every detail, every phrase: perfect!
And thank you for including the applause afterward. Those of us watching from afar like to see the orchestra getting the recognition they deserve.
Yes, I often add my applause to a live recording's audience - my roommates think that I am strange for doing so! 🙃🤣
Also, with regards to the applause, I absolutely HATE that this audience doesn't wait for the conductor to drop his hand at the end!
LET THE CHORD(S) AND/OR SILENCE RING.
This orchestra has such a refined sound.
They are really talented! I listen to them more than any other orchestra. They have my favourite recording of my favourite piece, which is also from Camille Saint-Saens.
Ab-so-lu-te-ly !!!
Indeed, refined, incredibly subtle on passage-work and crescendi... and so powerful. Every time I see/hear HR Frankfurt I'm tempted to think it's the orchestra from Heaven.
@@chambermuses7802 Indeed, so refined, so perfect.
Yes it does!
Excellent performance by everyone -- orchestra, organist, timpanist, pianist and especially the conductor, who's enthusiasm radiated throughout .
Unbelievably well performed. This work is a challenge to any orchestra - much of everything. Preserving the dynamics is the key, which is proven by in this great performance.
One of the best renditions I've ever heard.
At 28.37 you know it’s imminent. At 30.22 you are blown to the stars 😲. What genius, thank you Camille.
This is a cracking performance from an orchestra which is fast becoming a favourite. Thank goodness we have such a wonderful archive open to us on CZcams, especially given these times of the pandemic.
saint-seans is underated seriously
(31:04) Jetzt weiß ich, wo diese wunderschöne Melodie herkommt. Danke für die tolle Aufführung und fürs sharen auf CZcams!!
What a fabulous performance of a fabulous symphony!
Been a firm favourite over 60 years! Great orchestra, conductor, organist!
Loved it!
Thanks for the post.

I listen to these concerts while doing online classes. Makes it bearable and less toxic. Thank you so much.
This is the first recording I've heard where I haven't had trouble keeping track of the beat during the 1st main theme. Usually my ear follows the off-beat strings but this orchestra's balance is excellent!
I actually like the contrasting beats.....if done well, it sounds like there's a floating exchange of motif between the two.
Surely one of the best performances of one of the best works of all time.
Apart from the Carnival of the Animals, this is the first piece by Saint-Sáens I ever heard. I know there are other fans of this composer so I don't feel any shame in admitting that I love so many of his works. The first movement is special very special and makes this symphony a real stand out piece. Glad to see the Frankfurters giving their best here!
I play his Clarinet Sonata
Piano concertos 2 and 5 ;)
I am sure you've heard the Danse Macabre too.
THE BEST SAINT SAEN
“. ORGAN SYMPHONY”
EVER HEARD!
AWESOMELY MAJESTIC!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!!!!
The orchestra has a great balance, and the tempi are not forced or frantic.
I've not heard a better performance, maybe not one as good. I agree with Tom Aldrich about the sublime section. When I first heard this symphony, that section with the pianos transported me beyond my senses into utter blackness and a sense of serenity.
Outstanding performance, I like it. Apkalna is a brilliant organist who understands this score very well, her performance with Mariss Janson/ Concertgebow Orchestra bares the similarly in fine execution of organ. Very fine. Bravo.
I usually listen to music in the background, but this could not stay in the background for me. AMAZING! Thank you so much! Merci beaucoup! Danke sehr! Grazie mille! Liels tev paldies!
Background music is an oxymoron.
La entrada del órgano en el segundo tiempo (minuto 30:30) causa una impresión majestuosa. Esa apoteosis da a la sinfonía todo su sentido trascendente.
Sí. Completamente de acuerdo.
Ese majestuoso y potente acorde en Do Mayor fue impresionante!
MAESTRO!!! Che BELLA interpretazione!! Parlo italiano sperando che mi legga anche Lei (e anche perché non so l'inglese). Ho ascoltato a lungo questa esecuzione e, pur conoscendola molto bene (sono organista), ho scoperto colori, dettagli, sapori che non avevo mai gustato. GRAZIE. Anche della...umanità che trapela dal pathos interpretativo, certo, ma anche dalla direzione così partecipe... senza bacchetta... cordiale e "dentro" la partitura. BRAVO! E bravi tutti (organista di squisita sensibilità)!
Thank you for posting this splendid performance of this great masterpiece! I have enjoyed the music of Saint-Saens since I was 12 years old- over 60 years ago! He left us a superb legacy, filled with wonderful music- the symphonies, so many concerti, symphonic poems, chamber music, and operas [beyond Samson et Dalila, there is Henry VIII, Etienne Marcel and Proserpine, at least, which should be much better known] a great composer. thank you!
Brava!! One of my favorites! They played as one, no egos. fantastic!
interpretation sublime de cet oeuvre sans pareil..nous a soulagé dans ces jours difficiles... Mci hr-symphonie de partager et Bravissimo a tutti!!
There is something extraordinary in this performance .

Superbe et brillante interprétation de cette œuvre magistrale qu'est la 3ème symphonie de C. Saint Saëns.
Dommage qu'a partir des deux dernières mesures le tempo allargando........ sempre di più ne soit pas plus marqué par le Chef et que la partie du final composées de trois accords de DO majeur à 3 notes rondes Mi Sol Do avec liaison, répétés à l'octave pour la main gauche à la dernière mesure avec l'accord complet main droite joué Sol Do Mi Sol et double Do au pédalier sur les trois derniers accords joués "orga pleno" doit donc être extrêmement soutenu ; par conséquent, le point d'orgue du final doit impérativement, à mon humble avis, être longuement tenu pour vraiment conclure en apothéose. Après une interprétation tellement brillante jusque là, c'est ce à quoi je m'attendais . Aussi, ma déception est à la mesure de l'insatisfaction que j'ai éprouvée à entendre la dernière mesure subitement écourtée.
Ici, 5 secondes tenues par le Chef sont très insuffisantes ; le double n'aurait pas été de trop. Oui, dommage qu'il est si rapidement abrégé cet accord final.
Wonderful, exciting, beautiful music. Less is more. Iveta Apkalna is all business and instils huge amounts of drama into this powerful work. A brilliant orchestra. Dirigent ! ! The power of the organ parts are truly astonishing. This is the kind of music where those big pipe organs truly come into their own. Kudos to all. ❤❤❤
I love every performance of this wonderful Orchestra💕
It is a show stopper, without doubt Saint-Saens best work. I heard it played in Sydney Opera House, what an experience! This is indeed a wonderful rendition, brilliant tempi throughout.
It's one of the orchestra songs that I really love. This melody touches my heart and gives me a happy feeling that is like in a heaven
Bravo Maestro Minasi, Brava Iveta Apkalna, Bravi Frankfurt Radio Symphony!!!!!!
I would love to hear this symphony performed at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ when the restoration of the Midmer-Losh Organ is complete. I can only imagine the final chord played with the 64' Diaphone-Dulzian in the pedal!!!!!!
Auf Deutsch:
Bravo Maestro Minasi, Brava Iveta Apkalna, Bravi hr-Symphonie Frankfurt!!!!!!
Ich würde diese Symphonie gerne in der Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ, hören, wenn die Restaurierung der Midmer-Losh-Orgel abgeschlossen ist. Ich kann mir nur den Schlussakkord vorstellen, der mit dem 64' Diaphone-Dulzian im Pedal gespielt wird!!!!!!
Quelle merveille ! Cette œuvre me transporte chaque fois, et cette interprétation est remarquable.
Bien sur , et le compositeur est Francais. Chapeau!
Vive la France creatrice. et le bon vin de Bordeaux.
Bravo orquesta, director, organista y bravo Saint Saens!!
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser einzigartig doch perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit majestätischem Ton der Orgel sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt synchronisierten Tönen anderer Instrumente. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!
Might be the best version ever
Very passionate, emotional and fine precision. The organist is exceptional and outstanding!
Wow, that's great, the use of the organ and four-hand piano creates a very different orchestral feel 🥰
I believe that it is usual to have two pianists playing the accompanying piano part - well that is my understanding anyway and it does an element of finesse to the piece
Simply awesome. One of my favourite symphonies, and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony are fast becoming a favourite orchestra.

Molt bona interpretació. Direcció enèrgica i magistral de Ciccardo Minasi la Organista sensacional.
Es gibt wirklich immer wieder Interpretationen, die sprachlos machen… Und diese hier gehört dazu! ^ There are indeed some Performances which leave one speechless… And this one belongs to it! Absolute Bravissimo! 👏
Possibly the best conductor out there right now. He re-imagines the works he conducts and they come out sounding almost new again. He also seems to get the strongest, most involved, most emotional playing from the orchestra. His Mozart symphonies on Harmonia Mundi show the same. He pays attention to the details and brings out new sonorities we don't often get to appreciate in those works we have heard one hundred times or more, and though not slow, he does not rush the orchestra through passages most conductors seem to pay little attention to and hurry through.
Удивил ютуб, как бы невзначай подсунув еще одно исполнение симфонии №3 Сен-Санса. Шикарный оркестр,
шикарное исполнение. Почувствовал нюансы. Ну так и должно быть. Рикардо Минаси на высоте. Но и Джарви
вполне на уровне. Спасибо огромное. Привет из Киева.

Привіт з Берліна
この曲が大好き😊
この動画の演奏は今日初めて聴きました😃
超絶素晴らしいです！！
La mejor interpretación de esta obra que conozco. Maravillosa. Grandísimo Riccardo Minasi y orquesta
Great and satisfying presentation. A big thank you to everyone who made this possible
Was für ein überwältigendes Werk! Und was für eine Bandbreite an Emotionen? Von zart-rührend und vorsichtig-zweifelnd über perlend-strahlend bis zu majestätisch-kraftvoll...
An epic performance, masterly, once again, from this fabulous orchestra. Thank you so much. This symphony is up there with Beethoven and Wagner. Simply sublime.
first time I watch this conductor. excellent
Refined, exciting and breath-taking! I was mesmerized! Bravi!
A compelling, beautiful rendition of this wonderful Symphony thank you.
Культура поведения на сцене высокая 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
For me, is the best orchestra
Such a wonderful Orchestra. They play so well - truly top-tier
Riccardo Minasi(リッカルド・ミナシ)指揮Frankfurt Radio Symphony(フランクフルト放送交響楽団)によるこの演奏は、心に突き刺さるほどの力強いものでした。 脳にも届きます。
この力には「歪みのない知的構成力」が備わっていると私は理解しています。
リッカルド・ミナシは歴史をよく理解しているので、彼の強さは大成功だと思います。

This performance by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony conducted by Riccardo Minasi is so powerful that it pierces through my heart. It also reaches the brain.
I understand that this power is endowed with "intellectual compositional power without distortion."
Riccardo Minasi understands history very well, so I can see his strength as a great success.

I just listened to a performance of this piece by Jarvi and the Paris Symphony when CZcams automatically brought this up next. Normally I would have started listening to another work, but this started up before I could switch. I mention this because I had not meant to listen to this, but, in every way this is superior to the Jarvi version. This is not only the best performance of this symphony I have heard, it is one of the best performances of any symphony I have heard. (I am 74 and have been listening a long time)
Jarvi conducting this at BBC Proms is more spirited, but I agree the individual and overall musicianship of this performance is superior.
_Thank GOD that they were able to bring in a real angel to sit in on organ!_ 😂
An excllent orchestra and one of my favorities. !!!
Thank you so much for giving me wonderful time during stressful days due to Coronavirus.
Wonderful! Majestic! Every movement played with perfection.
Tout est parfait, interprètes, direction, prise de son et vidéo, un vrai bonheur, un grand cadeau, merci❤
INCREDIBLE 😍!!! After That Last MAJESTIC TRIUMPHANT CHORD, Can You Even Blame Saint Saens For INTENTIONALLY Not Attempting To Write Another Symphony After This One !!!!!?......
It would be very difficult to surpass this.
@@englishrose47 You Got That Right !!!..
Majestic symphony!
Why is this performance so amazing?
Part of it is the slower tempo in parts.
The first movement is almost 12 minutes long even when subtracting 30 seconds between the beginning of the video and the first entrance of the orchestra.
Both Paul Paray and Charles Munch made famous recordings that are now frequently cited as references. The first movement in both of these recordings is about 10 minutes long. So how much difference does it make when another recording is almost two minutes longer? The answer is absolutely huge. One conductor who was known as for interpreting things much slower is Sergiu Celibidache. Listeners are wildly divided over his interpretations, but for me some of them are quite amazing.
In this recording, Riccardo Minasi in my opinion is doing much the same thing. There is so much detail, so many things that I have never heard from any other conductor. After at least a dozen listenings there is no other interpretation that I want to hear. He stops time. Not only am I mesmerized by what he is doing, it immediately pushed me to explore everything else I can find by Riccardo Minasi.
I think this may be the slowest performance I have been able to find, and I have done quite a bit of checking. The miraculous part is that it seems to go on forever and at the same time it seems to be over in almost no time at all. I was out walking while listening last night and about 38 minutes of music went by so fast that I couldn't believe it.
Let's add to this fact that this marvelous orchestra plays as well as any orchestra I have ever heard, both in live performances and on recordings. What should we mention first? The strings? The woodwinds? The brass? The percussion? The whole group is a wonder!
The recording quality is incredible. And as a bonus to all the rest, look at the way the video was shot. I find this whole thing an absolute miracle. I would say that this performance is one of the ten best I have heard in my lifetime, and I would not pick any other as superior. The fact that it is live is absolutely stunning.
Semplicemente superbi!! Magnifica interpretazione di una tra le più belle sinfonie del romanticismo francese. Sound meraviglioso.
Sii orgoglioso della tua lingua e di' _"suono"_ anziché "sOuNd"
fantastic, i love it, ever and ever ;)
Frankfurt Radio Orchestra. One of the greats today.
Magnificent finale. !!
That moment at 30.34 - I’m holding my breath. The organ blows everyone away. Cannot hear it too many times 😲
Spectacular performance! One of the best I have heard of this wonderful symphony.
Wow! Tremendous power, excitement, and beauty!
Bravo!!
What an apotheosic finale!
I like his conducting very much.
Awesome playing! That was a truly inspired performance that left me riveted - BRAVI!
La musique apaise les âmes tourmentées. Merci pour votre talent.
Écoutez à 12.13 cette entrée prodigieusement douce de l'orgue , telle une prière muette , puis cet élargissement graduel à tout l'orchestre d'un lyrisme puissant dont l'expression finalement impétueuse à partir de 30.30 ,précédée en 29.51 de quelques mesures de grâce suspendue d'un merveilleux hautbois , habitera tout le dernier mouvement,oû le jeu des deux pianistes ne sera pas la moindre des beautés .
Bravo à cet orchestre ,devenu justement célèbre pour un son si somptueux et raffiné.
What can possibly be said but "Yes!!"
Absolutely super - wonderful - very well done, and thank you for this upload :)
A fantastic interpretation of a famous song by Camille Saint Saens. Many thanks for a wonderful experience.
I'm hearing this composer for the first time and WOW! This blew me away! THANK YOU!
Absolutely magnificent.
A great rendition of this masterpiece!
