  1. This is one of my all time favourite pieces of music, although I’ve never heard this arrangement before.

  2. but as we can see well, the impressions of a train doesn`t fit on the music!

    honegger himself said it once, i know, but he himself said later also that the people wanted to believe that the can hear a train, so he named it after a train.

    just try to imagine what else could happen if you hear this music, there are fantasic storys!

    but absolutly necesarry would be a much better version than this one, my favourite is from the “new zealand symphony orchestra” and “takuo yuasa”.

    Never seen this before - what a wonderful film of the period when steam reigned supreme in France.

  5. A Masterpiece. 40 years since I first saw it. Thank you.
