Description
This series of first-ever recordings of Martinu’s early orchestral works has already uncovered much delightful music; this third release moves everything up a gear. The symphonic triptych Vanishing Midnight (1922) will prove a revelation: a big-hearted work of breathtaking opulence and striking confidence. Vanishing Midnight is as exquisitely lovely as it is powerful and dramatic – Martinu’s first true masterpiece, but it is also his last full-on engagement with Impressionism. The two shorter works here – Ballade: Villa by the Sea and Dream of the Past – are colourful and atmospheric tone-poems, pieces of real substance and major discoveries in their own right.
