«Three Madrigals» for Violin and Viola by Bohuslav Martinů
00:00 I. Poco allegro
04:07 II. Poco andante
10:52 III. Allegro
The Three Madrigals were inspired by a performance of the Mozart Duos by Martinů's friends Joseph and Lilian Fuchs, the brother-sister duo to whom he dedicated the Madrigals he composed in 1947.
The sprung rhythms and free mix of polphony and chordal writing that were so characteristic of Martinů's music are a legacy of those madrigals, as much as of the Bohemian and Moravian folk music that also resonates powerfully in this music.
The opening movement moderates driving energy with an infectious bounce. The texture switches mercurially between orchestrally rich double stops and brittle hocketing, across the full range of both instruments.
Bartek Niziol and Michel Willi were invited to the Martinu Festival in Basel in November 2007, where they performed the «Three Madrigals» live in concert. https://www.martinu.ch/de/ruckblick/archive/2007/
