Arthur Honegger was a Swiss-French composer who bridged classical tradition and modern experimentation. This recording of his monumental Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher features the Orchestre National de France and Chœur de Radio France under the baton of Seiji Ozawa, one of the 20th century's great conductors. The work is a dramatic oratorio blending speech, solo singing, and orchestral music to tell the story of Joan of Arc. It's an intensely moving piece that showcases Honegger's gift for blending complex modernist ideas with deeply human emotion. Marthe Keller brings a haunting intensity to the title role. This 1991 recording captures the epic scope of the work, with Ozawa drawing luminous, powerful playing from the orchestra. A profound and rarely encountered masterpiece.
