This is such a great piece. Like Mozart, Martinu knows how to compress his ideas and never runs on and on. I never tire of his refreshing tonal and rhythmic ideas.
It is not so easy to do a piece this rhythmically intricate without a conductor. Bravo to the concertmaster for leading the group through it. A great performance of a fascinating and wonderful work by Martinu.
The very fact, that such a demanding piece of music can be played so beautifully without a conductor, raises questions. His music can be slightly confusing in places, but never fails to deliver and leaves a lasting impression.
As someone who has spent much of his life in La Jolla, I don't find this music particularly evocative of it, but I have always loved this sinfonietta since I first heard it.
It’s such a great video! May I repost your channel to the platform named Gan Jing World which is full of clean and valuable videos? I will keep your videos as is for sure. Thank you!
A magnificent work with the first movement reminiscent of the earlier symphonies, the conductor is of course the first violinist and he's both amazing and distracting, with his bobbing and sometimes even bouncing. But a great performance nonetheless.
As a teenager I heard this piece live in the 1960s in Sacramento, CA. Never forgot it.
Martinu - one of the most underrated of 20th century composers.
And one of the best.
This is such a great piece. Like Mozart, Martinu knows how to compress his ideas and never runs on and on. I never tire of his refreshing tonal and rhythmic ideas.
Having now heard at least a dozen different performances of this work, I think this is far and away the best one. And what a gem it is!

Yes ! great music. Martinu !

Fascinating Rhythm - Great Performance
Flawless. Brought me to tears. The Jewel of San Diego, California, USA. A place to get away and escape to?
Po prostu SZOK ! - Niedościgniony profesjonalizm muzyczny.. Bravo!

The music was not intended to evoke La Jolla, but it is just that this work was commissionned by a music society of this town
Posting the movement start times would be helpful

It would be good to know who the pianist is...anyone?
Oliver Kentish The pianist is David Švec - conductor from Prague National Theatre
Nebylo by více takových záznamů? Třeba i Mozart?

Great piece like most of Martinü's!!
Conductors are LAZY!! Don't want to learn new repertoire! Shame on them!!

Don't need to watch. Just listen. Music is for ears.
Of course he is moving and bouncing towards the orchestra, he is conducting!!
