Star conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, who conducts the Sinfonieorchester Basel on this disc, is known as a great champion of Czech music. These recordings of the Second and Fourth Piano Concertos feature acclaimed pianist and Martinů expert Robert Kolinsky as soloist.
The Fourth Concerto, subtitled ‘Incantation’ (“Enchantment”), has been called by US journalist David Hurwitz “one of the [20th] century’s most exciting and unusual scores for piano and orchestra”.
Les Fresques de Piero della Francesca remains one of Martinů’s most performed works. The highly impressionist orchestral trilogy draws its inspiration from one of Martinů’s own visits to the church of San Francesco in Arezzo in 1954.
