🎼 About the Music
Martinů’s Three Madrigals are three short movements written as a string duo (violin and viola) that capture:
Vivid interplay between the instruments with equal roles for violin and viola, not simply soloist + accompaniment.
Contrasting moods across the movements: rhythmic energy, lyrical warmth, and spirited drive.
Influence from Mozart’s duos and the madrigal tradition, though filtered through Martinů’s personal mix of modern harmonic language and expressive lyricism.

The piece typically lasts about 16–17 minutes and showcases both instruments weaving together with spirited character and contrapuntal interest.

🎻 Performance by Philippe Hirshhorn & Tabea Zimmermann
Philippe Hirshhorn — violinist, known for poetic tone and refined musicianship.
Tabea Zimmermann — violist and one of the leading viola soloists of her generation.

Together, they interpret Martinů’s Three Madrigals as a duo recital piece, highlighting:
Intimate chamber interaction, with the violin and viola in dialogue.
Balanced expression, where neither instrument dominates, making the music feel conversational and energetic.
Articulate phrasing and rhythmic clarity, which bring out Martinů’s characteristic blend of modern style and lyrical charm.
