Review title: Good, but also look elsewhere
Product review: Namely, the Mravinsky Version of the Honegger 3 is allt he more 'gnarly' and down and dirty. Mravinsky uses his elite, higly idiosyncratic, Leningrad forces with the infamous vibrato laden raw brass section playing its heart out. Moreover, the recording is live!In this sense, I much perfer the Karjan version of the Honegger 2 to the 3. In Karajan's hands, the second has a grandeur, the beggining reminds one of the Karajan's stunning 1954 Sibelius 4th with the Philharmonia- his most revelatory sibelius interpretaion.But that doesnt bring the Honegger Third any loss of merit. Karajan gives it the Berlin treatment indeed. Much like his Shostakovich 10th, the reading is spacious and opulent. But be aware that there are certainly more 'brutal' versions out there!and for 11.49, who can complain anyways!??!
