Řecké Pašije / The Greek Passion

Album by Bohuslav Martinů & Vilém Přibyl & Eva Děpoltová & Jaroslav Horáček & Richard Novák & Symfonický orchestr Českého rozhlasu & Libor Pešek

Řecké Pašije (The Greek Passion) is an opera by Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů that was first staged in 1961. The score blends neo-Romantic orchestration, modernist harmonies and substantial choral writing with folk-inflected motifs, and it is one of Martinů's late large-scale operatic works addressing religious and communal themes.
