Customer Reviews of Honegger: Pacific 231 / Rugby
Honest performance of the Concerto da Camera There are recordings of the Concerto da Camera that are classic, in every sense of the word. Maurice Sharp's recording is one such "LP" recording of this work. However, CD is here-n-now, and this recording gives the listener a musical, technically clean and well executed interpretation of this lovely work.
Upped to five stars
In listening to this CD again and again, I've come to appreciate Fournet's interpretations much more. Yes, they are slower than the norm, but the details that emerge from Honegger's scoring show the composer's mastery of the orchestra. The Concerto da Camera is still wonderful, but Fournet's interpretation of Pastorale d'ete, and specifically Pacific 231 and Rugby highlight strands of counterpoint I had never heard before. This is really a great disc of Honegger's and I recommend it unreservedly.
Very nice interpretation of the Concerto da Camera
This addition to the Honegger discography includes most of his familiar works but is graced by the addition of his late Concerto da Camera, one of Honegger's finest compositions. The interpretation by Fournet and his forces is wonderful. One might want to look elsewhere for better versions of Honegger's Third Symphony, but the Concerto and the Pastorale are very nicely done. Denon's sound is state of the art.
