Bohuslav Martinů may still be less well known than his compatriots Dvořák, Smetana and Janáček, but his output is large and ranges from chamber works to symphonies and operas. These include some real treasures and much that is attractive and enjoyable. If it is the symphonic works and operas that make the strongest impression at first, much of the chamber music has a more intimate appeal to a home listener. Among these works are the three sonatas and short pieces on this disc, none too long to outstay their welcome.
"Martinu's muscular, sinewy writing for this combination is always invigorating and inventive, and the three sonatas find him at his most rewarding." International Record Review
