This review is from: Martinu: Concertos for Piano and Orchestra, Nos. 2, 3 & 4 (Rudolf Firkusny Tribute) (Audio CD)

I can really only echo Amazon's intrepid reviewer on this Firkusny recording of Martinu's Piano Cto's. # 2,3 & 4. The pieces are great in themselves, which fascinatingly chronicle 3 decades of the composer's development, one concerto each from the 30's, 40's and 50's, as he grows progressively more inventive. Firkusny is a great pianist who did the world premiers of all of the concertos and had the 4th dedicated to him. Pesek handles the scores with skill and dash. The recording job is excellent. There! I'm out.
