Organist Juan de la Rubia raises the rafters in Saint-Saens's Third Symphony, plus music by Wagner, Haydn and Brahms.

Presented by Penny Gore

A favourite with audiences (and organists) for over 130 years, Saint-Saens was commissioned by our very own Royal Philharmonic Society to write a piece for orchestra and his own instrument - it was first performed in London in 1886 and shortly afterwards dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt.
