Martinu Quartet - David Post- Concertino á cinque & Piano Quintet (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

This new release presents two major works by the American composer, David Post, his Concertino á Cinque for clarinet and string quartet, and his Piano Quintet for piano and string quartet, both works heard in virtuosic performances by the Martinu Quartet, with clarinetist Ludmila Peterková and pianist Jan Dušek. Music Web International described Post's music as "immediately and obviously excellent”, and called him “a remarkable composer—not only inventive and technically capable but also a superb communicator.”

"This recording contains two wonderful pieces, showing an original mastery of style and technique. The Concertino is jazzy and light and serious at the same time. The Piano Quintet is extremely moving, honoring a musical tradition gone by. The performances are first rate and show an obvious affection for the composer’s intentions. Unlike so much contemporary music, this will grab you immediately. Highly recommended." (Randie Harmon)
