Honegger: Symphonies

Honegger Symphonies, with Charles Dutoit, Bavarian Radio Symphony ★★
This was a reasonable performance of the Honegger symphonies. I can’t say that I’ve really acquired an appreciation for his works. I realize that I used to have a problem with many other composers, like Mahler, who I thought was just making noise. Eventually, Mahler sounded organized and likable, then very likable. Honegger doesn’t do that for me. After multiple hearings, his music remains noise. Maybe someday I’ll get it? At least I tried…
