Saint-Saëns unleashes the grandeur of the pipe organ in a symphony that embraces serenity and scales heights of euphoria. And Brahms’ Violin Concerto — from its pastoral opening to its boisterous finale — is flush with striking lyricism, making it the perfect vehicle for violinist James Ehnes’ “velvety sound and sensitivity” (New York Times).
