|||||
Ian Hobson leads the Sinfonia Varsovia on this world premiere recording of Martinů’s one act ballet Stín ("The Shadow"), a fine example of the orchestral music he wrote between his late teens and early 30s. While Martinů’s mature orchestral works are now a mainstay of the repertoire, his early pieces are as good as unknown; some has never even been performed. Although the action of the ballet is dark, featuring a girl dancing with her shadow in the presence of Death, Martinů’s score presents a series of remarkably buoyant and cheery dances. The orchestra is joined by soprano Dorota Szczepańska, violinist Anna Maria Staśkiewicz and pianist Agnieszka Kopacka.
