I have greatly liked every piece of Martinu's music I have ever heard.<BR/><BR/>The last conductor working here who programmed a Martinu composition every now and then was Dohnanyi when he was at the helm of the Cleveland Orchestra.<BR/><BR/>There is another (deleted) set of Martinu symphonies that is quite good, a set Claus Peter Flor recorded in the late 1980's for RCA. It did not last very long in the domestic catalog, however.Drew80http://www.blogger.com/profile/17848576924497372868noreply@blogger.com
