Our Take

Martinu's latest release "Songs" can be described in one word: eclectic. The trio of Jankova, Kral, and Kahánek brings a fresh, innovative take on Martinu's classic songs, blending traditional Czech melodies with modern flair.

One moment you're transported to a quaint village square with twinkling accordions and lilting folk lyrics, the next you're plunging into a whirlwind of avant-garde piano riffs that defy conventional harmony. It's a musical rollercoaster, and you'll want to hang on tight.

Jankova's vocals are a standout on this album, floating effortlessly between hauntingly beautiful soprano notes and playful, jazzy inflections. Kral's cello work adds a rich depth to the tracks, grounding them in a soulful, organic sound.

Kahánek's piano accompaniment is nothing short of masterful, weaving intricate melodies that dance around the other instruments with precision and grace. Together, the trio creates a dynamic, vibrant atmosphere that keeps you on your toes from start to finish.

Overall, "Songs" is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons and experience something truly unique. Martinu would be proud of this fresh take on his timeless works, and we can't wait to see what this talented trio has in store for us next. So grab your headphones, press play, and prepare to be amazed.
