Jennifer Koh’s recent “Portraits” disc is impressive, too…Koh proves convincing in the Martinů. A most enticing introduction to a composer I need to know better than I do.

The Szymanowski Concerto is an exotic masterpiece, recommendable even if the only item on the disc, but luckily for the auditor, the Martinů and Bartók selections are suitable companions. Jennifer Koh is an exemplary guide to this somewhat neglected repertoire.
Jennifer Koh’s recent recording of the Szymanowski and Martinů violin concertos and the Bartók Portraits brings together interesting music from the first half of the last century not much heard in concert these days.
Jennifer Koh’s “Portraits” presents three top-notch performances of extremely challenging repertoire…The result is a third musical home run.
