The exceptional symphonic works of Swiss composer Frank Martin (1890-1974) finally given the recordings they have long deserved. This is music of beauty and intensity: Martin’s touchstone was Bach’s St Mathew Passion and its influence shines through these radiant pieces. Muriel Cantoreggi soars over two string orchestras on the Polyptyque and answers the soprano of Juliane Banse on the moving Maria-Tripytchon. Throughout, Christoph Poppen draws forth sensitive performances from the German Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.
