Spannende live Aufführung dieser einzigartigen Sinfonie mit klar artikulierten Töne aller Instrumente. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das hoch funktionelle Orchester im etwas bedrohlichen Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Echt Gänsehaut!
Très belle version de ce véritable hymne à l'espoir. Merci à Wellesz Theatre pour cette merveille ! Very nice version of this true hymn to hope. Thanks to Wellesz Theater!
A symphony which starts quite simply with a sort of lament in violas, gets more and more complex until the chorale at the trumpet in D major. Prodigious masterwork ! Kubbelik is excellent in a domain where we were not expecting him. The orchetra keeps very clear in spite of the deep countrpôint and harsh dissonances.
It's a music of christianity starting with a hymn by a viola and ending with another hymn by trumpet. Prayer under a war. As someone said the recording condition is very bad. But it doesn't disturb me at all. I think I met at last the best rendition of the work.. Truly expressive and clear in counterpart. Every sound doesn't fail to have a significance. At the beginning of the 1st movement violin's keen sound is unusually effective.
Amazing work....dark, moody as hell masses of evil energy! Belongs in the same class as William Schuman's symphonies (this is the same year as his immortal 3rd!), Persichetti's fifth, Mennin's seventh... All superb dark symphonic canvases that are free of mere melody and conventional development and rely more on melodic fragments and dense harmony and choppy abstract rhythms...that's what I love about these works
dankwarth Most Hitchcock films - at least the most famous ones - were shot after 1941... probably Bernard Hermann took his inspiration from Honegger, why not? By the way: Honegger also composed film music...
Sorry but the coughing ruins it for me. Kubelik was a fine conductor and I'm sure this would be a wonderful performance but I'll stick with Karajan who was recorded in the studio free from infuriating, distracting noises-off. Why can't people with bad coughs just f*cking stay at home?
Great, great compositin, conducted in a beautiful way by Rapael Kubelik !
A lot of thanks

Fantastic version!
Beyond glorious.
a great symphony, very poignant, especially the end!

I have listened this symphony conducted by Munch, Serge Baudo and Danielle Gatti and like this one the best.

No question, it is better to have this recording with all its blemishes than to not have it at all. TY.
Wonderful performance, too bad it was played in overcrowded tuberculosis hospital.
Ugh, the coughing is killing me!
Sounds like a TB hospital.
Az utolsó percért megéri meghallgatni ! Mint a Dávid királyban a korál.🇭🇺
Эта музыка великолепно отражает весь ужас той эпохи! Иначе она и не может звучать. Ужас и противодействие этому ужасу и призыв к борьбе.
sounds like from a Hitchcock movie.

Those were exactly my thoughts (Psycho, North by Northwest).

Sorry, Bo Peep. I trade perfect engineering for compelling playing anytime. Hoomeyow!!
