Another tip from a Fanfare review. As pointed out in that review, an amazing conflation of influences, from Respighi, Elgar, Glazunov to Prokofiev, until you realise that this guy's music preceded them all! :D

This violin concerto is magical, in a late 20C kind of way

Very good!
Symphonies 2 & 4 from this set.
I come back to these symphonies every now and then and they continue to slowly grow on me. Definitely a long term project!

I really enjoyed this - it's not the mild pootling of most 'classical' sax concertos. :thumbsup:
Minimalist string quartets

Nothing much happens, really. But somehow that doesn't seem to matter. Quite an absorbing listen.
Then some more excitable minimalism

Great fun, but I wish this performance was 25% slower. Sadly, there are no recorded alternatives.
One of the very few operas I like. But it is hardly a conventional opera!
I've been a long-time admirer of de Meij's Lord of the Rings orchestral suite.
It's a major work, well crafted and evocative.

Martinu's is a very distinctive sound world - I like it although I don't like Marmite.
A fine way to relax after a busy day
