Recordings marking this Marinu anniversary have tended to concentrate on his orchestral works but here are four appealing, accessible and strangely neglected works. The quartet for oboe, violin, cello and piano, the piano quartet, piano trio and duo for violin and cello are all from Martinu's American years and exude vigorous optimism. The players deliver these demanding and difficult-to-balance works with polished style.

Commemorating 50 years since Martinu's death, the Birmingham Conservatoire's Ensemble-in-Residence, The Schubert Ensemble, together with the Conservatoire's Principal, George Caird, perform a varied programme by this prolific Czech composer, who spent much of his life in exile.

The recording illustrates both his versatility and his fantastically colourful musical language, and culminates in the exhilarating piano quartet, which is considered to be one of Martinu's finest chamber compositions from his American years. It was immediately after completing this work that Martinu embarked upon writing the first of his six substantial symphonies, major contributions to the symphonic legacy of the first half of the twentieth century. Two of the other works on this disc were also written in his during his stay in America - Piano Trio No.3, and Quartet for oboe, violin and piano. Duo No.2 in D for violin and violoncello completes the programme.

After 26 years at the forefront of British chamber music, the Schubert Ensemble is firmly established as one of the world's leading exponents of chamber music for piano and strings.
