Martinů.....underrated . In former times I had CDs from the label Naxos.....symphonies & chamber-music.....his opera Greek Passion : the most current stage-work of now

[@sterlinglewis5700]

Martinů had a unique voice, which I love. I discovered him through the Opera 'Julietta', a magical, luminous composition. Jilek specialized in Janáček, and I own several recordings by him.

I would love to see this ballet performed. The music itself is quite beautiful.
