"In the late 1950s, Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959) turned his mind to Moravian folk poetry ... It all tastes of soil and nostalgia, but these are more than simple rustic tone paintings ... The Prague choir gets the balance right: vivid character and resonant voices but never saccharine and rhythmically taut. This is the ensemble that premiered three of the cantatas (in a previous guise) and it's hard to imagine singing of more authority in Martinů's music".

"BBC music choral & song choice: Baritone Jirí Brückler is superb here, and the top-quality professional Prague Philharmonic Choir master the most harmonically rich cantata of the four, a tale of a girl who doesn't recognise her long-lost love returning from the wars ... Valuable messages for our or indeed any time, and superlatively performed. Unmissable".

"Editor's choice: This is a singularly exotic issue for Czechs and non-Czechs alike ... I cannot imagine these cantatas being better performed or recorded than here; Lukáš Vasilek is an outstanding conductor, and the Prague Philharmonic Choir respond to his every interpretative intuition. Very highly recommended".
