Despite his modern fame, much of Saint-Saens's music was under-appreciated in his lifetime, and many of his organ works remain little known. His adherence to Classical principles and his antipathy towards what he perceived as the louche modernism of the Romantic movement hardly endeared him to congregations or clergy, long gorged on the fripperies offered by contemporary organists and somewhat resistant to being 'told what was good for them'.
