Kevin Sutton wrote seeking opinions of the BIS and Hyperion recordings of
Magnard's Symphonies.

I have both recordings of the 3rd and can tell him that in the case of
this symphony Sanderling is to be preferred.  He is consistantly slower
than Ossonce, but maintains the all important tension.  The recording is
better, too, offering more detail but still reverberant.  The 3rd is my
personal favorite Magnard symphony and I hope that Decca will some day
bring out Ansermet's recording.  Magnard was a student of Franck, came
from a wealthy family and was very critical of his own work.  The
particulars of the story vary a bit, but he died at the outset of WWI
when he fired on German troops from his mansion and they returned fire
and torched the house.
