Walter Weller (Dir) // Although the orchestral works of Martinu are extremely seductive and skilfully written, they've remained rather confidential. Much of this neglect is due to the composer's fate: a typical 20th-century exile from wars, political and artistic upheavals. The 4th Symphony was premiered in 1945 by Eugene Ormandy; the Estampes sound very Debussy-like, and The Departure with its power and dazzling instrumentation reminds us of Honegger's famous Pacific 231.
