GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE

"Hyperion's Martin? series continues apace and with great distinction. Christopher Hogwood and his Czech Philharmonic forces here delve into some of the less well known corners of Martinu's output, in particular the long-neglected Suite concertante. A hugely enjoyable disc, with beautifully nuanced playing from Bohuslav Matousek."
(Gramophone)

This is the third volume in Hyperion's set of the complete works for violin and orchestra by Martinuo, featuring the wonderful Bohuslav Matoušek with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under Christopher Hogwood. Many first recordings are included in the series, as well as works totally unperformed outside the Czech Republic. The two very different versions of Martinuo's Suite concertante are fascinating rarities. The only well-known work on this disc is the Rhapsody-Concerto for viola and orchestra: a lyrical, virtuosic piece written for Jascha Viessi and one of the most performed viola concertos of the twentieth century.

The programme notes by Ales Bresina are meticulously researched and provide a comprehensive background to the
genesis and performance history of these works.
