Kristina Fialová – Martinů & Hindemith: Works for Viola

Kristina Fialová's new CD is dedicated to Bohuslav Martinů and Paul Hindemith - two composers who essentially contributed to the emancipation of the viola as a solo instrument in the 20th century. The recordings includes two Sonatas with piano (together with pianist Martin Levický), Rhapsody Concerto and Trauermusik recorded with Czech National Symphony Orchestra and conductor Tomáš Brauner. As delivered by the technically brilliant Kristina Fialová, Hindemith's and Martinů's music is emotionally rich, profound and colourful, as is the viola itself.
