Martlnu: Out of Exile
The guest orchestra in last Saturday night's concert from London's Barbican Centre was the BBC
Philharmonic. Martinu was a great football fan and supported the Prague team Sparta. This wilder
Martinu comes to life in Half-Time, a work evoking the excitement of the football terraces. On holiday in Italy in 1954, Martinu travelled to Arezzo and was deeply moved by the frescoes at the Church of San
Francisco and his more contemplative side shines through in The Frescos of Piero della Francesca.
