Musical extracts

Thanks to our partnership with Timpani, you have now the possibility to listen to some of Honegger’s music on the website. Furthermore, Michel Piquemal gave us the authorization to broadcast two extracts of his recording of the Roi David. (In order to buy this record, click here)
Take advantage of it !
These are extracts of works, famous or less known, that show the diversity of Honegger’s talent, revealing as well his unique style.
Those records are still available for sale.
