【Product Description】 "With Organ" is a performance that surprises with the bold expressive ambition of Barenboim, who was only 33 years old at the time. His approach, which conveys a sense of tension even in the pure Adagio sections, is always full of intensity, and the explosive elation that is unleashed in the final movement is unparalleled. Combined with the solemn sound of the organ, separately recorded in Chartres Cathedral, it achieves a brilliant effect. While the immense power of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is truly astonishing, it should be seen as stemming from Barenboim's strong desire for the dramatic and the grand, which was characteristic of him at the time. Speaking of which, Barenboim also recorded a performance of Berlioz's Requiem (out of print) with the Orchestre de Paris around the same time, which had a terrifying energy within its huge form, and in the Symphonie Fantastique (out of print), he presented a listening experience with grotesque power, unlike his two later re-recordings. The combination includes the popular "Bacchanale," the prelude to "The Flood," and "Danse Macabre," and this part allows you to enjoy the colorful sound of the Orchestre de Paris.
