The style of the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů was enriched by numerous influences which are reflected in The Greek Passion; magnificent choirs contrast vividly with intimate chamber music, and folkloristic elements are placed next to complex, classically worked-out orchestral movements. A highly emotional mixture of oratorio and dramatic opera takes the listener into a world in which catastrophes abound. Lorenzo Fioroni, who has directed operas in Nuremberg, Augsburg and Heidelberg, has produced this dramatic contest against fear in Graz.

While it lacks the immediate lyrical appeal of the better-known second version, there is an overwhelming sense of immediacy which this excellent performance captures at every stage…Kaftan’s musical direction, captured in a fine recording, seizes every one of the ample dramatic opportunities an really gets to the heart of Martinu’s musical language, illuminating its tonal warmth from within. — BBC Music Magazine, August 2017, 4 out of 5 stars
