The brief opening work on the program was Dukas’ playful , widely known work, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” that was composed in 1897 and subsequently popularized by a little guy named Mickey Mouse in the Walt Disney film “Fantasia.” Opening with the violins , it suggested the presence of haunting, mischievous spirits, and subsequently exploded with the sounds of brass, timpani and an array of percussion, all building to a stormy, big bang conclusion.
Organist Cameron Carpenter performed Poulenc’s “Concerto in G Minor for Organ, Strings, and Timpani,” and Saint-Saëns’s “Organ Symphony” with the CSO on Dec. 15. A return to calm, with a slew of what could be described as conversations among the instruments , was followed by a final blast by the strings in this richly theatrical and often unpredictable 22-minute work that was superbly performed.
