The present album is the second of two recorded by the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Li`ege and Jean-Jacques Kantorow to commemorate the centenary of the death of Camille Saint-Sa”ens. On the first instalment the team offered us deeply impressive performances in stunning sound of the composer’s First and Second Symphonies and the unnumbered Symphony in A major, but now the time has come for Saint-Sa”ens’ crowning glory in the symphonic genre: his Symphony No. 3 in C minor, generally known as the “Organ Symphony”. The work was composed in 1886, and Saint-Sa”ens had planned to dedicate it to Liszt but the latter’s death the same year caused the dedication in the published score to be modified to “in memory of Franz Liszt”. It is written for a larger orchestra than his previous symphonies, with the unusual addition of a piano and an organ – the two instruments that Liszt (and Saint-Sa”ens himself) favoured. Without being a virtuoso vehicle, the organ part is central to the work – especially in the grandiose ending – and it is here performed by the renowned organist Thierry Escaich, playing the great organ of Li`ege’s Salle Philharmonique.

Author of more than 120 works, Thierry Escaich is one of the leading figures in contemporary musical creation. His works, in the repertoire of such prestigious orchestras as the Orchestre de Paris, New York Philharmonic and the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra of Saint Petersburg, are defended by personalities such as Valery Gergiev, Alan Gilbert, Lisa Batiashvili, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon, and Olivier Latry. The winner of, amongst others, three ‘Victoires de la musique’ awards, his career as a creator is indissociable from his activity as an organist, having become one of the principal ambassadors of the French improvisation school throughout the world. Maurice Duruflé’s successor at the organ of the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, in Paris, he places great importance on transmission in the framework of his teaching writing and improvisation at the Paris Conservatoire, where he has been a professor since 1992. He was made a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in March 2013. In February 2017, Thierry Escaich won a Victoire de la musique Classique, as Composer of the Year.
