On sale -50%It is shocking to think that some works of Martinů have never been recorded before; but that is indeed the case for some of the pieces in this album, such as the Three Songs after Poems by Guillaume Apollinaire from 1930 – written and sung in Czech. This is the fifth and final volume in an impressive series of recordings, which underlines the amazing (if under-exploited) riches of Martinů's repertoire for voice and piano: around six hours of material in all, a real treasure trove. In this volume, the listener's voyage starts in the 1930s, with relatively light-hearted works from a composer whose only preoccupation was survival in Paris, and continues on to the 1940s, when, fleeing the war, he travelled to Aix-en-Provence and New York. As an amusing aside, Four Songs to Czech Folk Texts of 1940, H. 282bis, are dedicated to the young Edmonde Charles-Roux, the daughter of the then Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All of this superb repertoire is in urgent need of discovery. The Czech mezzo-soprano, Jana Hrochová lends the record her vocal talents. © SM/Qobuz
