"It always struck me as odd that Frank Martin didn't enjoy a higher standing, either in his own lifetime or since, not least as, especially over the last decade or so, there has been a decent enough spread of recordings to attest to the depth and quality of his achievement. ... This magnificent new ECM recording from Christoph Poppen is all the more welcome: the three pieces here make the case for Martin as eloquently as could be hoped."
(International Record Review)
The exceptional symphonic works of Swiss composer Frank Martin (1890-1974) finally given the recordings they have long deserved. This is music of beauty and intensity: Martin's touchstone was Bach's St Mathew Passion and its influence shines through these radiant pieces. Muriel Cantoreggi soars over two string orchestras on the Polyptyque and answers the soprano of Juliane Banse on the moving Maria-Tripytchon. Throughout, Christoph Poppen draws forth sensitive performances from the German Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.
