Description

Czech music specialist Entwistle offers no fewer than ten CD premieres on this varied and rewarding disc of pieces by Bohuslav Martinu (1890–1959). Works include the three-movement Trois esquisses (with a blues, tango, and Charleston), the folk-style Quatre mouvements, The Fifth Day of the Fifth Moon (after a poem by Su Tung Po), and the romantic cycle Fenętre sur le jardin. "Summit programmes the meatiest work, the Piano Sonata, as the penultimate item—a brief Adagio, the composer’s last piano work, closes the recital poignantly…. This is very active music, very exciting, almost virtuoso towards the end. Here, as always, Entwistle's reading is a model of its kind. The aura of stasis that pervades the 'Moderato (poco andante)', replete with Janácek-like tremolandi at its climax makes for telling contrast, while the finale allows for a near ecstatic close."—MusicWeb International
