By Jeffrey Davis VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This is the greatest performance of any Honegger symphony on disc.
I am not normally a fan of Karajan and I wish that DGG had chosen the original LP picture of Honegger for its sleeve instead of yet another photo of the conductor.
However, the performance of Honegger's Liturgique symphony is in a class of its own and in particular the intensely moving birdsong that concludes the stormy symphony (Honegger's finest) has never been more movingly articulated than on this recording. The sound quality is excellent considering that the recording comes from the 1970s.
An essential part of any self-respecting Honegger collection and good value at mid-price.

Excellent CD 27 Jun 2010
By enthusiast TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I didn't know the Honegger symphonies very well prior to hearing this CD so I can't make comparisons but what I can say is that this is a very rewarding, impressive and enjoyable CD. I would say that Karajan securely demonstrates the Honegger works - or the "Liturgique" Symphony at least - as essential 20th Century repertoire. The performances are (of course) brilliantly played and sound totally committed. Karajan's Stravinsky is a little sweet for my taste - but is still a valid and telling account for all that.

The Greatest Honegger Disc of all Time!!! 24 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Karajan's account of both the second and third of the Honegger symphonies has never, and in my mind, will never be surpassed. In the second symphony Karajan gives us an intense, and extremely poetic version, of this most dark yet beutiful of the Honegger symphonies. The ending is particularly moving. Every detail comes out crystal clear, and we really see just what the composer was going for. The third is just as good. Karajan draws ravishing, and once again intense (I don't think that the word "intense" can be overused when reviewing this disc) playing from the Berlin Philharmonic. I believe Karajan really prized this music, and he seems to pour his heart and soul into it, showing us, as it seems ha already knew, that Honegger is truly one of the greatest composers of the 20'th century. Great sound quality,too, when listening to this CD you feel as if the orchestra was right in front of you. This disc can not be recommended enough; it's priceless.

A CD Worth All the Raves 24 July 2002
By D. C. Cannon - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
These recordings of Honegger's best symphonies have always received rave reviews, and for once the praise is worth it. The Second has ravishing string writing, often dense and mysterious but finally triumphant. The Third for full orchestra is more brutal but the slow movement and final coda shows off some of the most poetic writing of any 20th century composer. These are symphonies of the war years and are serious meditations of the times. Why Honegger is so little played these days is beyond me - he is modern yet definitely tonal. Most listeners will have little trouble entering this soundscape.

A superb recording in every way 27 Mar 2000
By George N. Fabian - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
It would be hard to believe that Karajan made a finer recording than this legendary recording of two of Honneger's symphonic masterworks. It deserved all of the superlative reviews that it has received. Both symphonies convey the anguish and despair of a war-torn, ravaged Europe and yet there are passages that convey hopefulness. Both symphonies were written with very deep-felt conviction and Karajan, in deeply committed performances, brings this to the fore. A must for any serious classical collection.
