Pizzicato Magazine has given its “Supersonic” badge of distinction to the Pittsburgh Symphony and Manfred Honeck‘s Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 and Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1 recording:
“With an extremely inventive conducting, Manfred Honeck proves that one can still say something new in Beethoven’s Eroica, even with a modern symphony orchestra. Textually there are fascinating differences from what we are used to. The Funeral march is considered the centre of the symphony, and with Honeck it has real emotional intensity. The Strauss Concerto gets a superb, much refined performance too.”
