Proms 2008

*****

“A communist Jew in German-occupied Czechoslovakia, Schulhoff died in a Nazi concentration camp. The heart of his String Sextet, the slow movement, is superlatively played as are Martinu's two hyper inventive works.”

Gramophone Magazine

“Martinu at his best. The Three Madrigals are given stunning performances”

Penguin Guide

2011 edition

“The Madrigals are post-war, very typical Martinu, and are despatched with great virtuosity. The Raphael Ensemble give a masterly account of them, and the 1991 recording is truthful and lifelike.”
