Swiss-French composer Arthur Honegger shortly before his death in November of 1955. The composer was known for a work based on various stylistic devices. He was an important representative of the "Group de Six" established in 1920 in Paris, France. His international reputation was based on Honegger's symphonic composition "Pacific 231", which is a metaphore of a "vital" sense of life" of the technical age characterising a speed train locomotive. His scenic oratorios are excellent works of modern musical theatre. (KEYSTONE/PHOTOPRESS-ARCHIV/Str)
