Composed at his artistic peak, Camille Saint-Saëns said of his Symphony No.3 “With it I have given all I could give, what I did, I could not achieve again.”

We are proud to present conductor Michael Stern’s interpretations of these great works, captured in brilliant HDCD sound by Grammy award winners Keith O Johnson (engineer) and David Frost (producer).
