"The artist is always searching for the meaning of life, his own and that of mankind, searching for truth,鈥� wrote Martin暖, and today we hear this in his Fifth Symphony, composed in the months after the end of the Second World War.

It was written for the leading orchestra of his homeland, the Czech Philharmonic, premiered by them in 1947 and despite his nationality, it is the only one of Martin暖鈥檚 symphonies to have been premiered by a Czech orchestra.

We also hear Piano Concerto No.27, Mozart鈥檚 final Piano Concerto, in today鈥檚 live 91热爆 Radio 3 broadcast. A work of unusually introspective lyricism, it is seen by some to express the resignation and weariness of spirit which had overtaken Mozart after two years of dwindling success and reduced productivity.
