Bohuslav Martinů: The Symphonies Nr. 1-6 [3CD]

Jakub Hrůša, honored as "Artist of the Year" with an International Classical Music Award 2026 and as "Conductor of the Year" by Musical America, dedicates his new album with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra to one of the most beautiful symphonic cycles of the 20th century: the six symphonies by Bohuslav Martinů. These works, which were written during the Czech composer's American exile, combine poetic lyricism, epic tragedy and Bohemian color and energy.

The Bamberg Symphony can trace its artistic history back to Prague, where its roots lie in the Estates Theater and the city's rich musical culture. Based in Bamberg since 1946, the orchestra delights music lovers worldwide with its full and warm sound. In close artistic collaboration, Hrůša and the orchestra bring this shared heritage to life with clarity, depth and expressiveness. This is a perfect artistic partnership for Martinů's symphonies, which are available here as a new complete recording.
