This is the music of my taste. Beautiful melodies, heavy thoughts, playful and fresh, full of energy and still interesting. Something is still going on and there's still something to discover... and never overlistening. I love Martinů´s works. Thank you for sharing

@LambdaBuzz 11 лет назад

Some of Martinů's works are pure genius. Especially the first movement of this piece is breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing!

Great music from an underrated composer!

@user-bw6st5zr3l 3 года назад

A fancy piano concerto. As soon as I heard the first movement, I was fascinated. Jan Panenka's SUPRAPHON CD is also a wonderful performance, but this performance was released on the CONIFER label CD when I was working for a Japanese record company. This is a memorable CD.

@andreassiannvart4484 10 лет назад

yes, a very beautiful and delicat music and very pleasent to conduct it. I conducted it with Armenian National Chamber Orchestra and the french pianist, Jacques Schab , on 1995.

This "sinfonia giocosa" fully deserves its name. Its mood is quite in line with what we can expect from its title. In addition, during the 20's and the 30's, Martinu was under the very strong influence of French contemporary music (the 'Groupe des six, Roussel), and of the neoclassical Stravinsky to a less extent. Here, he begins to get some distance from this influence to find a final personality of his own , which led us to give us top level masterworks of the two last decades of his laife.

What a gem, even on the thirtieth listening, every note and phrase perfect. Oh, that I have lived to know this music! I haven't felt this moved since, in the late '50's, I gobbled up Ernesto Halffter's Sinfonietta (Ataulfo Argenta, London CS 6029) -- it's on youtube under my name.

I discovered the 6 Syms 30 years ago (Neeme Jarvi: the best version) and have loved them and played them an embarrassing number of times. Even perhaps for the 50th hearing I would hear stuff I missed, stuff that I loved. All were composed after this piece, but we hear the same mastery of the intricacies, beautiful sonorities, and wow the syncopation!

@leoinsf 2 года назад

The roots of Bach in Martinu's music is very strong, but in the Sinfonietta Giocosa, there is outright reference to the Bach Keyboard Concertos! Martinu lived in a "Bach world" where counterpoint was considered more important that the actual themes, themselves. Martinu rarely wrote straight melodies and accompaniment without the rambling seductions of counterpoint, but the second movement comes close to this as any Martinu composition. Martinu is definitely an under-rated composer. How about resurrecting some of his works for performance by our modern symphony orchestras!!!

The painting named "Absinth drinker" which is located in Caffee Slavia just across the National Theatre is not (by) Toyen. If it is Toyen the price would double the whole caffee and half of the theatre ;))

@algeborusas1883 7 лет назад

What does any painting have to do with any musical piece? Not much. It's just something to look at while you listen. Posters usually try to match something from the same time frame or area of the composition. That's what the hell it has to do with this work.

@9827george 6 лет назад

pleas keep out the "hell" and just enjoy both the music and the arts in general. Street talk does not fit here.

@GeorgeHenderson 3 года назад

@@johndinwiddie4411 It may refer to the fact that the composer's student and lover, composer Viteszlava Kapralova, had died shortly before the writing of this composition (though not obvious here, a response to this loss can be heard in the earlier Fantaisie et Toccata for piano and the second movement of the later Concerto da Camera for violin and orchestra) and it also can be seen as a reminder of Martinu's best-known opera Julliette.

"La Jolla", not "La Jolie" -- it's the name of the seaside enclave of San Diego, California, where Martinu lived for a while.

@robertmuehlmann342 7 лет назад

I have listen to this piece a dozen times now since my last posting and my admiration and enjoyment of this unappreciated composer is greatly magnified. And I especially like the dramatic pauses near the end of the last movement --each nearly 9 seconds --the second one the resolution of the first. Did Martinu compose anything (small or large orchestration) without the piano?

@paulybarr 2 года назад

Yes he did- eventually! The sixth symphony doesn't include piano.
