Review by Katey Read

The album Symphony Nr3 Orgel Symphonie Danse Macabre Bachanale Le Déluge by Camille Saint-Saëns, performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre De Paris, and conducted by Daniel Barenboim, is a hauntingly beautiful collection of orchestral works. The album features Saint-Saëns' Symphony No. 3, also known as the "Organ Symphony," which is a powerful and dramatic piece that showcases the composer's mastery of the orchestral form.

The album also includes two of Saint-Saëns' most famous works: "Danse Macabre" and "Bacchanale" from his opera Samson and Delilah. These pieces are both lively and energetic, with intricate rhythms and rich harmonies that are expertly executed by the orchestras.

Finally, the album concludes with "Le Déluge," a lesser-known work that is nonetheless a beautiful and evocative piece of music. The orchestras bring out the full range of emotions in this piece, from the sweeping and majestic opening to the more contemplative and introspective sections.
