by Louis Vierne
OrganRomanticSymphony~40 minprofessional
The third of Vierne's six organ symphonies, cast in six movements and centred on the dark key of F-sharp minor. Written during a period of personal tragedy, the symphony balances lyrical introspection with virtuosic display. The Adagio is particularly celebrated for its sustained melodic invention over a complex harmonic foundation.
