This album is the recording of the inaugural concert of the Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique at the Maison Symphonique in Montreal. For grandeur, majesty and sheer tonal opulence, few symphonies can stand beside the Third Symphony of Saint-Saëns. The prominent contribution from the organ, the “King of Instruments,” provides an additional measure of imposing sonority to the work.
The entire symphony is based on the principle of continual transformation of a “motto” theme. This theme makes its first full appearance in the restless series of short detached notes in the violins, following the slow, mysterious introduction. The attentive ear will pick out this theme in its rhythmic and coloristic metamorphoses throughout the symphony – at varying times flowing and lyrical, detached and fragmented, broad and noble, or agitated and restless.
Olivier Latry is organist at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris and organ professor at the Paris Conservatory. His appointment to France’s premier cathedral in 1985 at the age of 23 propelled him onto the international scene: he has appeared in more than 50 countries and on all five continents, as a recitalist or with orchestra.
This live recording captures the inauguration of the new organ at the home of the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal. 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. A Globe Itself Infolding by Samy Moussa, a native of Montreal, ebbs and flows in intensity, its compelling chord sequence unfolding towards the seemingly inevitable conclusion. Jean-Willy Kunz, the convincing soloist, will be thrilled that Moussa suggests this might turn into a full concerto.
Kaija Saariaho, by contrast, is clear that Maan varjot (Earth’s shadows) is not a concerto, but a ‘fruitful and inspiring companionship’ for two ‘strong but civilised personalities’. Dedicated to Dutilleux’s memory, its title is taken from Shelley’s elegy for Keats, Adonaïs. An organist in her youth, some of Saariaho’s colours suggest an insider’s understanding: the orchestra moulds and adapts the organ’s sonorities, chords melting into microtones or entwining with the toccata-like opening to the third movement. As always, Olivier Latry is utterly assured, beguiling and imperious as appropriate, both in the Saariaho and the Saint-Saëns.Review by Christopher Dingle, BBC Music Magazine
