Sharon Choa, performance director at UEA, is a devotee of Martinu's music and conducted the first performance of her new edition. In an interesting path, the Czech Phil recorded the new edition in 2003 under Jiri Belohlavek (SU 3631-2, very dull artwork). Maybe Jiri will devote more time to Martinu with the BBC Symphony Orchestra once he devotes more time to the BBC Symphony Orchestra...
