Martinů is one of the most popular Czech composers, and I find the compositional sophistication of his Third Trio to be absolutely exceptional”, declares Matouš Pěruška. Martinů composed the trio in New York in the spring of 1951 and dedicated it to the American pianist and composer Leopold Mannes, with whom he had spent some time in Edgartown on the island Martha’s Vineyard in the state Massachusetts during the first year of his stay in the United States. It is undoubtedly one of Martinů’s masterpieces in the field of chamber music, with its spellbinding, strikingly original rhythms and its refreshing melodies, for which the composer found inspiration in Moravian folk songs.

The concert takes place as part of the Prague Spring Festival.
