Hail the King of Instruments!
Homage to the king of instruments! Saint-Saëns’ Organ Symphony is the grandest of his compositions and like all his works, it is suave and full of elegant Gallic melodies but also justly famous for its earth-trembling finale with solo concert organ, two pianists and huge orchestra. Josef Spacek, hailed internationally for his charismatic playing, brings his own unique touch to Max Bruch’s other great work for violin and orchestra, the gloriously tuneful Scottish Fantasy, which uses folk themes as raw material from which to develop brilliant and exciting writing for the violin alternating with passages of tender and sometimes passionate expression.
