Best sounding Saint-Saens Sym No. 3?


Yes, I have the BSO/Munch sacd release but which version has the best sonics? It doesn't have to be the best performance and my purchases are online so I cannot judge that aspect very well.

I don't know if I can answer your question in terms of sonic but I have gone through a number of versions of this and the ones I go back to consistently are
1)with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra with E. Power Biggs CD 2) Georges Pretre with the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra, and Maurice Durufle LP and finally one I keep being undecided over 3) Charles Dutoit and the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal with Peter Hurford CD.
This is not counting of course the Much/BSO which you already mentioned. Hope this helps
