Martinu:

Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 2, H. 293

Serenade for Two Violins and Viola No. 2 , H. 216

Toccata & due canzoni, H. 311


Isabelle Faust (violin) & Cedric Tiberghien (piano)

The Prague Philharmonia, Jirí Belohlávek

Long overshadowed by the reputation of his Bohemian compatriots Smetana, Dvorák and Janácek, Bohuslav Martinu is at last enjoying his fair share of the limelight.The three works presented on this recording display the Czech composer's endless creativity within the framework of a vivid concertante language. Isabelle Faust, Cédric Tiberghien & Jiri Belohlavek renew the succesful partnerships that brought us superb recordings of Dvorak and Brahms. Gramophone Magazine gave Isabelle Faust its Young Artist of the Year Award for her first recording of sonatas by Béla Bartók, in 1997. Since then she has appeared with all the major orchestras. Cedric Tiberghien's international career took off as he became a BBC New Generation Artist. For harmonia mundi, he has recorded four recitals, and more recently Brahms' Concerto No. 1 with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jirí Belohlávek.

Cédric Tiberghien (piano)

BBC Symphony Orchestra, Jiri Belohlávek

"The French pianist Cédric Tiberghien, now 32, has climbed to prominence slowly, gathering competition prizes, a Harmonia Mundi recording contract and four CD recital discs of core repertoire from Bach to Debussy. He's no flashy virtuoso: one Lang Lang is enough. But he's refreshingly individual, sensitive, strong-minded, intelligent; more than a name to watch." The Times
