Martinů: The Symphonies

原始简介

Jakub Hrůša – 2026 International Classical Music Awards “Artist of the Year” and Musical America’s “Conductor of the Year” explores one of the 20th century’s finest symphonic cycles on his new album with the Bamberg Symphony: the six symphonies by Bohuslav Martinů. Composed during the Czech composer’s American exile, these mature works encompass poetic lyricism, epic tragedy, and Bohemian colour and energy. The Bamberg Symphony traces its artistic lineage to Prague, with roots reaching back to the Estates Theatre and the city’s rich musical culture. Based in Bamberg since 1946, the orchestra has brought its rich and warm sound to music lovers worldwide. In a close artistic partnership, Hrůša and the orchestra bring this shared heritage to life with clarity, depth, and expressive power. For Martinů's symphonies, which are available here as a new complete recording, this is a perfect artistic partnership.
