5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Martinu, June 26, 2007

This review is from: Double Concerto for String Orchestra (Audio CD)

My opinion of this is better than Wright's.

First, at least for the pieces I like best, Fresques and Sym La Jolla, the recording sounds just fine indeed.

Martinu, like certain other 20th century composers (i.e. Hohvannes)
tended to rewrite the same ideas a million times. So you have to pick and choose a collection of his stuff. If you are new to him, I suggest
the Fresques and the Sym La Jolla. These are excellent performances
of these wonderful pieces.
