    A generously filled CD of Martin chamber music is an attractive proposition. But a long succession of these spiky yet lightweight pieces doesn't work as a good listening program--after a while they all start to sound the same. If you have the restraint to play only one or two of these at a time, you'll find this an attractive program, especially since the presence of budding piano superstar Marc-André Hamelin proves an accurate indication of the quality of the performances overall. Nicely spacious yet well focused recording. --Leslie Gerber

    This is extremely enjoyable music, and the performers are natural and alive, sunny and fully of life, vital and intelligent, fresh and exhilarating, not to mention unfailingly delightful, character-filled, and inventive.

        The great clarinetist Karl Leister has recorded the Mozart Quintet at least four times, including two versions done only a year apart (1981 and 1982). This is the 1981 recording, and it's not his best. All the players are alert and capture all the details in the music, but the poetry seems to evaporate. Weber's Clarinet Quintet is rather superficial stuff, so the playing here does it no harm. The real news item is the Mozart Quintet fragment, eight minutes of music in a performing edition by Robert Levin. It sounds like real Mozart, and the performance--recorded years later than the rest of the disc--is excellent. Is it worthwhile paying import price for eight minutes of Mozart? Maybe. --Leslie Gerber

                  This c.d.presents four substantial works that Martinu composed for solo violin and piano.Hana Kotkova ,violin and Simon Mulligan,piano tackle the pieces with gusto,bravado and considerable thoughtfulness.The Czech Rhapsody of 1945 was composed in exile in the United States of America .It draws on traditional American thematic material as well as Czech folk melody and nostalgic interludes.Ms Kotkova's violin playing is rich and full .Some listeners will find the recording slightly unbalanced here overfavouring the violin,but this is a minor quibble.The first and second violin sonatas are earlier works of 1929 and 1931and date from an era when Martinu was striving to create his own authentic sound.The performers take on board the searching nature with great sensitivity.The music meanders but is never repetitive .There is a feel of organic development of musical ideas reminiscent of Sibelius but without the Nordic hues.The third violin sonata of 1944 is totally different .This is music composed during the latter part of the second world war.Tension ,horror and strife is palpable from the fortissimo piano commencement of the first movement.This is powerful music written with a more assured and determined voice.With Martinu even during sad times gloom is never allowed to predominate.The music is pervasively uplifting with a confidence in the decency of humankind which will be triumphant. An excellent c.d. don't miss it.
