Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 in C minor, “Organ”

Camille Saint-Saëns dedicated his Symphony No. 3, “Organ” to his friend Franz Liszt, who died shortly after its premiere in 1886. The ASO honors both composers in this performance with world-class pianist and Catholic University professor Thomas Mastroianni performing Liszt’s transcription of Franz Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy.

The concert concludes with the aforementioned “Organ” symphony by Saint-Saëns, considered by many to be one of the greatest achievements of his career.

Mastroianni's recent concerts include Carnegie (Weill) Hall, New York, Italy, Rio, National Gallery of Art, and Georgetown University
