Which is your favorite? I might enjoy some Martinu about now....
The more well known Martinu works are the 6 symphonies (Neumann-ADD, or even better with Belohlavek (BBC SO)-DDD). Jarvi is less idiomatic but ok, obtainable on Brilliant Classics.
The Frescoes of Piero della Francesca is one of his best known works, and Karel Ancerl is stunning (on Supraphon) as he was in much he recorded. Truth to tell, Martinu wrote a whole heap of orchestral music, much away from his homeland in France and finally in the US, where his symphonies were written.
I second the recommendations for the Belohlavek set of symphonies and the Frescoes. Let me add a recommendation for the full Julietta opera conducted by Krombholc in 1964 (the Concert Suite is more popular but is only an appetizer), the Gilgamesh oratorio (no particular fav, maybe Kosler 1989) and Ariane (another opera) conducted by Netopil in 2015.
Any recommended set of the piano concertos?
