Martin暖: Complete Symphonies鈥擝amberg Symphony/Jakub Hr暖拧a (Deutsche Grammophon)
Five of the six symphonies of Czech composer Bohuslav Martin暖 were commissioned by US orchestras between 1942 and 1953. In its rave review of this set, The Guardian says, 鈥淭oo often neglected, their first appearance on Deutsche Grammophon is a red-letter day for these distinctive, eminently likable works.鈥� 2026 International Classical Music Awards 鈥淎rtist of the Year鈥� and Musical America鈥檚 鈥淐onductor of the Year鈥� Jakub Hr暖拧a explores what has to be one of the 20th century鈥檚 finest symphonic cycles. The Bamberg Symphony traces its artistic lineage to Prague, with roots reaching back to the Estates Theatre and the city鈥檚 rich musical culture. In a close artistic partnership, Hr暖拧a and the orchestra bring a shared heritage to life with clarity, depth, and expressive power.
