Honegger: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3 / Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Herbert von Karajan liked to think of himself as the great conductor of the German classical repertoire: Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms. Perhaps out of insecurity, he recorded and recorded that music incessantly--there are four complete Beethoven symphony cycles, for instance. But he really was at his best in other things, and everyone agrees that these performances of Honegger symphonies are among his finest recordings. Part of their allure lies simply in the quality of the playing, for no one could deny that he cultivated a technical standard with the Berlin Philharmonic that was second to none. But he also seems to respond to the music's savagery, its melancholy, and ultimate message of hope. In short, the music really turned him on, and it'll do the same for you. --David Hurwitz

      4 out of 5 stars A wonderful memento of Munch's devotion to Honegger.......1999-06-23

      This is a reminder of how much Charles Munch loved the music of Arthur Honegger. These performances are all from concerts in the 1960s and show Honegger's development as a composer from the early Chant de Nigamon to one of his final compositions, the 5th Symphony, coincidentally premiered by Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in March of 1951. Munch gives the works his usual wonderfully passionate interpretation. Recommended for all fans of both the conductor and the composer.
