Bohuslav Martinu conducted by Henry Swoboda

Bohuslav Martinu - Concerto Grosso per orchestra da camera (1937) - Vienna Symphony Orchestra - Serenade for Chamber Orchestra "For Albert Roussel" (1930) - Winterthur Symphony Orchestra - Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra (1931) - Vienna Konzerthaus Quartet / Vienna State Opera Orchestra - Partita (Suite No.1) for String Orchestra (1931) - Winterthur Symphony Orchestra / Henry Swoboda

Enthusiasts of Martinu's music - as well as admirers of the conducting of Henry Swoboda - should be interested in these rare recordings.

In spite of the aging (but clear) sound of these historical recordings, one might be hard-pressed to find more recent versions matching the sheer energy, intensity and conviction of the performances themselves (particularly of Martinu's Concerto Grosso). The excellent program of works assembled on this LP form a compelling portrait of Martinu's output 1930-37; and the end result amounts to a highly satisfying musical experience.

NOTE: the sound quality of these recordings naturally varies from selection to selection, as they were made at different times and under different circumstances, etc.

LP transfer / restoration of material recorded early 1950s (Westminster / ABC "Collector's Series", c.mid-1970s).

Cover, photos and English notes (by Sam Morgenstern and Nicholas Slonimsky) included.
