Prolific 20th century Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů

Check-out the fourth part of our video series Czech Music Greats, devoted to the work of one of the most prolific 20th century Czech composers - Bohuslav Martinů.

Bohuslav Martinů’s works include 15 operas, 14 ballet scores, 6 symphonies and a vast number of orchestral, chamber, vocal and instrumental works. We recommend his First Violin Concerto, which he composed in Paris in 1932. It was never performed during the composer’s lifetime, somehow got mislaid and was considered lost after his death. It premiered in 1973 to great acclaim.
