About
Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No. 2 is, by any standards, an outright winner and deserves to be much better known. Here, it’s one of two substantial works flanking a rambunctious account of Danse macabre.

Awards and reviews
June 2019
Thierry Fischer and the Utah Symphony’s performances here are polished and graciously articulate…favouring poise and charm over heat and bite. There’s exhilaration, too, mind you… The Danse macabre moves with an elegant yet persistent impetus; listening, one feels impelled to keep moving. Madeline Adkins plays the solo violin part alluringly yet with a slightly devilish edge to her tone… I’m already craving the next instalment.
June 2019
The performances of the symphonies are polished and clear, the clarity aided by the slightly slower tempos
June 2019
Fischer’s Utah forces do it proud, with nifty percussion and a star turn from leader Madeline Adkins.
