Recordings worth hearing
Munch / Boston Symphony Orchestra / Zamkochian (organ)
ReferenceRCA Living Stereo · 1959
Recorded in 1959, and the organ's entry is still among the most-cited low notes on record.
Dutoit / Montreal Symphony Orchestra
ModernDecca · 1982
Dutoit conducts in Shanghai this season. The strength of his recording is the first half: the opening movement is transparent enough to reveal a tone poem underneath.
