Honegger:
Symphonie No. 2

Strauss:
Metamorphosen

Honegger’s work is bathed in atmosphere of refinement and drama with constant tension. Its gravity and austerity convey the expectations of a people that has been broken under the yoke of the occupying forces.

Strauss’s Metamorphosen is a lament for the German cultural world in which he lived. Metamorphosen expresses an intimate landscape that draws its despair from the shifting colours of a polyphony.
