About
Here is the recording of the inaugural concerts of the Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique at Maison symphonique de Montréal, which feature the great organists Oliver Latry and Jean-Willy Kunz alongside the OSM and Kent Nagano. For grandeur and majesty, few symphonies can stand beside the Third Symphony of Saint-Saëns. The album also includes the world premieres of wonderful works by composers Samy Moussa and Kaija Saariaho.
Imposing and grandiose!

Awards and reviews
May 2016
A stylish and well-paced performance of (inevitably) Saint-Saëns's Third Symphony joins two engaging world premieres for organ soloist and orchestra, all masterfully shaped by Kent Nagano…as always, Olivier Latry is utterly assured, beguiling and imperious as appropriate, both in the Saariaho and the Saint-Saëns
New York Times January 2016
If you don’t have a favorite recording or two of Saint-Saëns’s Third Symphony, here is a version worth having...The performance is suave and lush, with a powerful contribution from Mr. Latry.
