(5 out of 5 stars)
"These generally excellent performances of 3 works of the 1940s by the great Swiss composer Frank Martin (1890-1974) are now available on Warner Classics apex at bargain price, complete with text & translation for the song cycle "6 Monologues from 'Everyman'," Martin's most famous work for solo voice & orchestra (originally piano). The other 2 works, the "Petite Symphonie Concertante" & the Concerto for 7 Wind Instruments, rank among his greatest orchestral works. Avoid it on Elektra/Asylum, avoid it on Cascavelle, buy it for peanuts on Warner apex!"
