Truly a sovereign masterpiece by one of the greatest composers of the last century. Frank Martin belonged to no school and pursued his own genius from beginning to end. The Polyptyque contains a richness of musical thought that exceeds in profundity almost all twentieth century violin concertos. “Image de la chambre haute” - who but Martin could have written such inward music? “Greatness” is not determined by a popularity contest. Martin and Stravinsky were, to my mind, the greatest composers of that century.
Deeply moving. Both the work, and the performance. Bravi, bravi.
breathtakingly beautiful music and performers!!! I truly believe this is one of the great masterpieces of the 20th century
