MARTINů: Double Concerto

Description

“Golani’s unaffected account of the Rhapsody-Concerto, all the more eloquent for being understated .. the lovely Sinfonietta, a wartime work but apparently carefree gets a delightfully fresh performance … the powerful Double Concerto, again well played and recorded” (3* Penguin Guide)
