Notes and Editorial Reviews
Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No. 2 is, by any standards, an outright winner and deserves to be much better known. Here, it’s one of two substantial works flanking a rambunctious account of Danse macabre.

REVIEW:
Thierry Fischer and the Utah Symphony’s performances here are polished and graciously articulate, favouring poise and charm over heat and bite. There’s exhilaration, too, mind you. The Danse macabre moves with an elegant yet persistent impetus; listening, one feels impelled to keep moving. Madeline Adkins plays the solo violin part alluringly yet with a slightly devilish edge to her tone. I’m already craving the next instalment.
