Other CDs with the Jongen Symphonie Concertante
(Unintended venue):

Before the concert at the intended venue finally was played at the Grand Court for which the
work was commissioned, there were 10 "predecessor" CD's containing the 4-part
Jongen "Symphonie Concertante" that I could locate over the net.  NOTE:
If they are reviewed and timing provided as listed below, I was able to obtain the CD.

The list of CD's I have heard featuring the Jongen "Symphonie Concertante" include
(Jacket detail with organ & location, Organist, conductor, and Orchestra performing).
I list the ten that I have discovered , there are supposedly other CD's out there :)

1.  "The Orchestral Works" of Virgil Fox  (Virgil Fox Legacy series);
(Organ, location, conductor, and orchestra are not listed in the jacket).
Comment:  See next item #2, believed to be the same work, except a different label.
The same comment there applies to this item #1.

2.  "Symphonie Concertante, op 81" of "Matrix 2" EMI Classics #65075;
1959 Capitol Records release

Comment: Excellent!! Typical of Organ '10th Dan Sensei Black Belt' work by Virgil Fox!
{OK-I coined here a new category of "Musical Martial Arts"; and I name its
FOUNDER as Virgil Fox. A Martial Arts Founder is usually 10th Dan, highest rank!}

Comment: Fair

On the Toccata, a bit too fast for this elegant composition.
Dorian should have made Guillou play as Jongen wrote it!
This is one composition that needs NO improvisation or transcription applied!!
