Honegger: Symphony No. 4; Pastoral d'été; Prélude, Arioso et Fughette; Concertino
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Arthur Honegger (1892-1955) is one of the major figures in French music in the 20th century. He is a romantic bridge to modernist Oliver Messiaen and post-modernist Henri Dutilleux. Symphony 4 (Deliciae Basilienses) of 1947 is a celebration of Switzerland and its role as a haven during WWII. It's charmingly melodic with jazz-like interjections from the piano. Pastoral d'ete (1920) is very Debussian and almost English in its use of folk melodies. The Prelude, Arioso et Fughette is a 1938 orchestral transcription of a piano work based on the letters B-A-C-H. It's all good stuff. --Paul Cook

This is the lighter side of Honegger, not a composer known for his deftness of touch under normal circumstances. The Fourth Symphony's subtitle, The Delights of Basle refers to the various Swiss folk tunes that Honegger weaves into its musical fabric. It's a hauntingly lovely work, as is the similarly appealing Summer Pastorale. In fact, all of this music, including the amiable Concertino and the Prelude, Arioso and Fughette features a much-higher-than- average charm quotient. Anyone... read more

A Honegger Scholar.......2002-02-28
This is a lovely Honegger album. Played beautifully. The rarely recorded Concertino for Piano and Orch. is here; it is unjustly neglected by pianists. It is a masterpiece of taste and refinement. The conductor has done a fine job of maintaining the balances in the 4th Symphony. The Honegger 4th is a different Honegger from the powerful 2nd, 3rd and 5th Symphonies. It is full of light, with a hint of Asian influences.
