The Symphonie Concertante for organ and orchestra was completed in 1926 by Belgian composer Joseph Jongen (1873 - 1953). It is a monumental work, considered by many to be among the greatest compositions ever written for organ and orchestra. It is certainly a personal favourite, far superior over any regular organ concerto. The work is in four movements and the average playing time is 37 minutes (AllMusic). I have three versions, of which I prefer Michael Murray with the San Francisco Symphony under Edo de Waart on a Telarc CD.
