Podcast: Bohuslav Martinu’s Piano Concertos

Posted by Raymond in Enhanced Shows, Podcasts, Regular Shows

MARTINU, B.: Piano Concertos 2 and 4 album coverCzech-born composer Bohuslav Martinu was born in a church tower in Policka, Bohemia in 1890. He became a student in the Prague Conservatory, and played with the Czech Philharmonic before moving to Paris to study composition. When World War Two broke out, he fled Europe and moved to the United States where he taught at the Mannes School of Music in New York. All the while, he composed incessantly – including the two piano concertos on this disc. Performers include pianist Robert Kolinsky, conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, and Sinfonieorchester Basel.
