Free Music Review: One of the Best Honegger Discs
Hit: 5 Stars
I can compare the performances of these two with Plasson's EMI 2-disc set. They are a lot more steady, wieghty, and, to me, more appropriate for Honegger's music.
This "Pacific 231" is far preferable to the one Plasson conducts on that admirable set. If you think Pacific 231 should move more steady, this is what you want. Full recommendation to Honegger lovers.
Honegger: Symphony No. 5; Symphony No. 3; Pacific 231 Poster
Arthur Honegger (1882-1955) was a member of the famous group of French composers-- influenced by Eric Satie's theories--called Les Six. Honegger's music, however, never followed any school or program. His Symphony 5, Di Tre Re, (1950) is a thoroughly modern update to the French symphony. His music is post-romantic with occasional elements of post-modernism thrown in. He wasn't afraid of the occasional modal clash. His Symphony 3 Liturgique (1946) is based on the Catholic liturgy, but contains many more dynamic elements, hardly liturgical at all. Pacific 231 describes a powerful train locomotive. The Chandos sound is absolutely spectacular. Recommended without hesitation. --Paul CookClassical Music CDs
