We never hear enough of Saint-Saëns. His piano concertos are wonderful.
Don’t forget the Africa Fantasy!
That is full Saint-Saënsory satisfaction!
Ayee 😎
Touche!
What a wonderful recording, the sound engineers did themselves proud. The orchestra and organist/organ was magnificent and moved me to tears. Bravo!!!!!!!!
I have listened to a few different performances of this last movement of this symphony and in my humble opinion this is the best performance of this piece BY FAR Ms. Lapwood let's it be know she is going to use the full resources of the instrument she hits that 1st C major cord with full organ!! I have found that most performers under register that 1st chord of the final movement afraid they might cover up the orchestra not Ms. Lapwood she comes in with full organ and the 32' Reed on the pedal!!!! Also in the mid section where the piece quite down she uses the 32' flute and you get that growl but NOT drowning out the orchestra and when Ms. Lapwood comes in near the end with pedal only WOW and the final part when she is with the orchestra she does not drown out the orchestra she sores above the orchestra BRAVO!!!!
Magic - Anna Lapwood and the LPO, who could ask for more. Really great performance.
That was beautiful. The conductor managed to bring lots of energy to the music while retaining its grandeur and avoiding anything frantic or overwrought.
The first time I heard this movement when I was in high school, I was drawn out of my body, so to speak. It was purely ethereal. Especially the piano runs. The movement is always a joy.
The same with me. I still have the recording with Michael Murray and Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Yes... and absolutely so!
The magical "piano runs" are what brings me to an emotional point & the brink of tears in that final movement every time!
First time I heard this was in a college music appreciation class 55 years ago. Still one of my favorite pieces of music, along with much of Saint-Saëns' compositions. (Sometimes a little hard on my speakers, to say nothing of the neighbors, but worth every note.)
Fabulous performance - thanks for sharing.
The iconic timpani solo at the very end with the drums in the American configuration
The whole percussion section is fantastic, nothing out of place really and I love the tone out of that timpanist.
I can't quite tell what mics they are using but it sounds fantastic!
And to think Camille composed this masterpiece in record time. The music flowed from him as fast as he could write.
Absolutely thrilling!
I first discovered this awesome piece of music as a teenager in 1979 when the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps performed this at the beginning of their show that summer.
Excellent performance and sound mixing. Anna does it proud!! Where's the CD??
Excellent performance. Great seeing Anna in her usual place.
Magnificent!! Thank you for highlighting the pianists too!!
And of the most exciting pieces of music I have ever heard. Wonderful.
Great to hear the Royal Festival Hall Organ, fairly recently restored, in full voice once again. And played by the delightful Anna Lapwood. Glorious orchestral performance too. Such a pity that the Acoustic, although improved, is still somewhat dry and uninspiring.
And, of course, the ultimate and cruel irony is that having a large audience just makes the acoustics even worse ...
The organ was majestic, but that timpani in the end was metal.
They usually are - or did you mean 'mental'?
@@rattywoof5259 like heavy metal (music)
Beautiful in every way, especially Anna Lapwood on the pipe organ!!
Jader Bignamini conducted Turandot with the Detroit Symphony. Othalie Graham and Jonathan Burton were soloist. Jader was a last minute replacement for Slatkin. (George Shirley was Emperor Altoum!). As I sat there listening I kept thinking this is the greatest conducting of Turandot I’ve ever heard! Magical! It wasn’t too long after that (2020) they offered him the job of principal conductor. His contract is now extended through 2031. He’s a genuine maestro.
Excellent perfomance! I would like you to mention the name of the conductor!
Jader Bignamini

Thank you!
Great Organ sound! everything is perfect to me!
La palabra correcta para describir esta pieza es "Magnífica"!
Nice interpretation ! Camille Saint-Saëns was a composer and an organist at the church la Madeleine in Paris ...
This sounds so mighty !!!!!
the most stirring, powerful version I've ever heard! So grateful!!!
Du grand luxe visuel et sonore pour cette symphonie irrésistible ❤
GREAT! SUPERB!
Truly a Saint-Saensory-Spectacular! Has anyone found this performance of the entire symphony on line?
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo. Somptueuse interprétation pour cette oeuvre magnifique de Saint-Saens. BRAVO !
The sound! Wow!
That was spectacular!!! I love playing this and cannot wait to do it again!
Lovely performance..i really enjoyed the 4 hands the orchestra and of course my favourite..the pipe organ...bravo
Bravo. Fantastic. Que belíssima versão e interpretação. This is the best version I have heard from this finale. Thanks for recording.
Royal Festival Hall last November. Jader Bignamini was the conductor. Also had Julian Joseph at this concert doing Rhapsody in Blue. Epic concert.
Magnífico!
Grandeza magnífica de expressão musical .
Sends shivers down.my spine. Brilliant performance...
Anna!
Amazing😍♥️
I cannot listen to this without waving my arms around and stamping my feet like a demented fool. In my head, I'm conducting !
Stunning!
Love this piece!
Wonderful.love it.
Wow! Just Wow. 😊
Amazing! ❤️
Absolutely Great Composer.
Someone can tell me where this fabulous concerto was perform and who was the conductor please? I would really appreciate. Thanks you so very much.
Hi, this was in London, at the Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, 22 November 2023.
And the conductor was Jader Bignamini with London Philharmonic Orchestra and as mentioned above, the amazing Anna Lapwood on the organ.
The whole concert was fantastic :)
Thanks you so very much and regards from Costa Rica,Central America.
Allegro, vivace come un bel risveglio mattutino🕊️
Magnificente!!!!!! Bravissimi!!!!!!!!
That was fantastic!
Isn’t it Anna Lapwood playing the organ ?
It is!! She’s AMAZING!!
@@ELMITCH86She’s amazing indeed ! I love her choices for the registration, specially the bass line. Well done !
Well it looks exactly like her ! So it's bloody obvious spaff brain. 🤪🙈
That’s what the caption says
Bravo, Bravo!
maestoso indeed!!!
1m 50 s d'une entrée aussi impressionnante que celle de Richard Strauss avec son "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra"
Bien entendu, les deux œuvres ne se ramènent pas uniquement à ça, mais il n'empêche que cela marque tous les esprits, que l'on soit mélomane ou pas. 😊
I remember this from a barbie movie!! But which one was it??!
Don’t know about any association with Barbie, but the main tune was transformed into a gentle lullaby in the film “Babe.” I remember seeing that film in its initial theatrical run, and noting how deeply it enchanted the audience.
This recording is super dry and full of timbral detail. It is honestly really.impressive that they captured all of this, but... where is the sound of the hall? Feels like all of the instruments are 10 feet away. (OK, that is an exaggeration, LOL.) I honestly love it. Nothing is muddied.
Incredible performance, might be one of the best interpretations of this movement that I have heard. I really like the tempo, especially with this dry acoustic.
Just... huh. The sound of an organ or an orchestra is just as much about the sound of the room as it is about the direct sound. This really is the "front row" experience. A lot of orchestral mixes go in the more "wash of reverb" direction which is beautiful in its own way, but I love how clear every instrument is here.
Also special shout out to the horn solo around 5:10, absolutely spot on with that slurred melody line.
Royal Festival Hall’s acoustic is said to be on the dryer side. It could be the engineers tended toward a closer and cleaner approach rather than try to capture an aspect of the hall that is not its strength.
@@PatrickLienCT Honestly, that is really respectable. The end product is extremely superb, so I have no notes! I'm still amazed at how awesome the timpani came through on the recording. (and how the timpanist absolutely NAILS that tuning change near the end of the piece on the 2nd smallest drum at 6:42)
Royal Festival Hall acoustics are not great at the best of time. Orchestras have to work hard in that hall.
@@tombonespilbo Well, the result here is so good that I can't even be mad. Sounds fantastic!
Why is it that so many who conduct this piece, or perhaps it is the sound engineers who edit the recording, completely miss the necessary balance between the organ and the orchestra? Agreed that the acoustic of the hall is less than ideal, and agreed that this is an excellent performance, still, the balance is missing.
I always wonder why the Directors of these productions are incapable of doing split screen shots? Its a common TV technique yet classical concert Directors don't seem to have the imagination to incorporate it. Imagine seeing the two instruments playing together that create an orchestral colour! (i.e. Ravels Bolero) Oh well ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dans quelle salle et quel pays a été fait cet enregistrement? D'avance merci pour la réponse. Et encore BRAVO !
Royal Festival Hall à Londres.
Je vous remercie beaucoup.
and the conductor was...?
For me, the four handed part is too loud
Gorgeous performance, gorgeous musicians, gorgeous organ ..... all viciously trapped in a dreadful venue with no acoustic.
At 7:53 You can see the conductor saying "That'll do, pig. That'll do."
