Honegger - Symphony No. 3 "Symphonie Liturgique" (1945-46)

[@hira_take]

最も好きな交響曲の一つ。オネゲルの曲は､どれも独特な緊張感の中に空間を漂うような神々しく美しい弦楽器のハーモニーが有りもっと演奏の機会があっても良いのに。 動画アップありがとうございます。

I bought a recording of this work when I was around 17 and discovering music outside the usual standard repertory. Of course I found it very strange yet at the same time drawn to its orchestration and individuality. Today I consider this symphony one of the defining works of the 20th c , a genuine masterpiece that should be heard more often.

20世紀を代表する素晴らしい交響曲であるにも関わらず、演奏される機会が本当に少ないのですが、亡きヤンソンスがこの名演を残してくれたのに感謝します。

[@gerardbegni2806]

Honegger became more and more pessimistic with time, and this can be retrieved in its work. This symphony remains tonal, but is full of massive tones ans harsh dissonances. It has a stregtyh that nothing seems able to stop. And however, towards the end, a aray of ilght which could eboke a bird in a tree is a light ray in that darkness. Mariss Jansons gives us an analytical version, very mztivulous of this sumphony wgich allows us to better understand thse packs of tones that we hear almost along the entire symphony. He makes this dark music more intelligible. Thank you Mr Jansons - and thank you for having posted this essential interpretation.

Breathtaking work, one of my favourite symphonies, I love its each bar.

[@CCA2481]

I love Mahler, Bruckner and all the other great symphonist. But this is also one of my all time favourites

[@paullewis2413]

@@CCA2481 I don't relate to Mahler or Bruckner but love Shostakovich and Prokofiev. However, like you I consider Honneger's 3rd symphony one of my all time favourites.

Me too. Very much indeed.

The end is sublime. I cry every time I hear it.

The same! The whole symphony is fantastic.

Yes, same here

This is part 1 for my show for marching band this year

Are there ten doublebasseshere ? It's time that conductors and performers start playing separated movements. his was done in the 19th and 18th century bevause few wanted to listen to an entire opera even though without t.v. I imagine there was nothing else to do but read or go to the theatre! The final 10 minute dona nobis pacem is a good candidate for being performed alone like Mahler's 5th symphony slow movement .The Swiss Honegger 's symphonies need more programming . I had never heard this or any of the five until a fellow orchestrator mentioned No.3 . No.2 sounds very interesting . It's amazing that one can live 50 years and never hear Honegger on the radio except for some piano music yet there are several important oratorios ,4 complte operas ...lots of fine work by a master craftsman I must hear with all their fine German strands of neo-romanticism! The first half of 20th century has a bunch of fine symphonists beyond Sessions and Diamond who are worth discovering !

[@steveegallo3384]

True....plus I'm hearing marvelous echoes of Rakhmaninov Symph Dances in the (III) Dona nobis pacem (19:21).. ..BRAVO from Acapulco!

Gracias por compartir esta obra musical.

[@Mezzotenor]

TERRIFIC live performance, in some ways quite opposed to Karajan's classic recording where the strings predominate. I think Jansons takes most of the third movement a tad fast - score says andante, not allegretto. Perhaps he was trying to balance the fury of the first movement with something that moves along. No matter, he really nails the final pages. The maestro passed 1 December 2019, and he left an impressive legacy of live performances and studio recordings.

It's a pity I can grant only a single like for it...

[@PianistlavFastlovsky]

26:00 - 27:23 unique bars by Honegger... after all has happened to this world, please "grant us peace".

Is this the same performance as released on the RCO Live label?

Одна з найкращих симфоній 20 століття. Зараз, коли триває Третя світова війна, її музика вкотре стає попередженням усьому людству : Люди, будьте людяними і пильними, не підкоряйтеся мороку завойовників

I first heard the finale as closing music to a 1967 BBC dramatization of Les Misérables with Frank Finlay as Jean Valjean. I remember that Michele Dotrice played Fantine. I seem to see it in my mind's eye as black and white, though life was very grey back then, so I might be mistaken.

[@publiced6500]

The beginning and end excerpts are also used in the great 1967 Great Expectations by the BBC, also in black and white.

Arthur Honegger (El Havre, 10 de marzo de 1892 - París, 27 de noviembre de 1955) fue un compositor suizo. Estudió armonía y violín en París y, tras una breve estancia en Zúrich, regresó a la capital francesa para estudiar junto a Charles-Marie Widor y Vincent d'Indy. Durante la década de 1910 siguió con sus estudios, antes de escribir el ballet Le dit des jeux du monde en 1918, considerada como su primera obra característica. A pesar de haber nacido en Francia y de pasar parte de su vida en París conservó siempre su nacionalidad suiza. Fue miembro del Grupo de los Seis.

Well I m surprised this symphony really hangs the Together. My favorite honegger is the first movement if the fifth ,but I become disappointed by lastvtwo movements

What dreadful editing, especially at the climax of the last movement, where the video and audio are completely out of sync.
