{"product_id":"joseph-jongen_symphonies_2007","title":"Symphonies","description":"First recording on the restored Schyven organs of the Liège Philharmonic Hall, the first encounter on record between a new music director and his orchestra. Cypres and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Liège don their festive attire for a delivery of two symphonies featuring organ. A deployment of orchestral forces in symbiosis with the spirit of the venue through two works closely linked to Liège, served here by an exceptional performer! Jongen - for whom Cypres is releasing the 6th disc dedicated to the (re)discovery of his music - is a native of Liège (like César Franck), and it was with Saint-Saëns' 3rd symphony, three years after its London premiere, that the new Schyven organs were inaugurated in 1890. A program that ideally allows one to savor the different tonalities of a work with organ — an orchestra in itself! The organ is predominant in Jongen's symphony concertante, which in its concluding Toccata delivers a demonstration of power and expressive strength, while Saint-Saëns, in his famous (and final) 3rd symphony, uses it in both intimate and brilliant registers, beautifully blending the colors of the instrument with those of the orchestra.","brand":"Joseph Jongen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58517274001752,"sku":null,"price":23489400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5412217076108.jpg?v=1789857328","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/joseph-jongen_symphonies_2007","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
