Martinu: Songs Vol. 3

This recording focuses on three of Martinů’s song-cycles and a selection of individual songs from an early period in his life that sheds light on his enthusiasm for song composition. Songs On One Page and Songs On Two Pages were written during his American exile, both utilizing traditional and folk texts in compact but expressive ways. Set to Japanese lyric poetry, Niponari is one of his most important early works, revealing a transition from late-Romanticism to impressionism. Of Volume 2 in this series (8.572310) BBC Music Magazine wrote: ‘Some excellent songs here, in radiant performances’.
