'Fantasie' in E flat by Camille Saint-Saëns, played on the Cavaillé-Coll organ of Sées Cathedral (France) by Richard McVeigh in August 2018.
Saint-Saens' first published organ work, the Fantasie in E flat major, has proved to be his most popular. The composer first played it in December 1857 at the inauguration of the newly rebuilt organ of Saint-Merry in Paris, where he had been appointed organist in 1853. It is dedicated to Georges Schmidt, then organist of Saint Sulpice. In two parts, the Con moto features an ingenious alternation of chords between two manuals while the Allegro di molto e con fuoco is a spirited march, which introduces a fugato section in the middle and ends with a grand, virtuosic coda.
