About

Giorgio Koukl’s survey of Martinů’s complete piano music has been praised as “a delight” (Gramophone) and “estimable and important” (MusicWeb International).

Since the release of Volume 4, several manuscripts of previously unperformed, unknown or lost works have been discovered.

While Volume 5 presented six polkas and five waltzes, this disc draws on manuscript sources for Jeux (Games) Series I, Three Lyric Pieces, Evening at the Shore, Song Without Words and the Nocturne - works which deepen both our appreciation of Martinů’s genius and Koukl’s advocacy of his music.

This new volume of Martinu piano works is a near-complete delight… Koukl has a clear vision for each [piece]’s expressive language and there is a huge amount to enjoy on this richly satisfying and well-recorded disc.” - BBC Music Magazine on Vol.3
