Widor: Organ Symphony - Christian Schmitt, Stefan Solyom      (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
  Review by krisjan Yesterday 01:12 pm

Recordings of organ with orchestra must be a big challenge to record successfully. The CPO engineers have done a good job on this one. The organ beautifully integrates with the orchestra throughout the program. Unlike one of the previous reviewers, I do not think this SACD suffers from "no bass" - ... more

  Review by krisjan March 12, 2010

Part of BIS's "Opening Doors" series of chamber orchestra recordings, this enticing set of masterwork symphonies from Franz Schubert presents these works with about 30 or so players.
