		Martin loved the theater & composed a total of 12 major scores for it; yet aside from the Christmas oratorio "Mystere de la Nativite" & a set of concert excerpts from his setting of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" (in German, as "Der Sturm"), there's been only a tantalizing series of titles on a work list.
		This recording of Martin's last big stage work, a setting of Moliere's comedy "Monsieur de Pourceaugnac" (1960-62) is doubly welcome: it brings a new work into the catalogue & also makes available a historic performance (1963) conducted by the composer & featuring most of the original cast.
		The other factor is that, as Martin noted, everyone in the play is either a liar or a fool.

		In 1933 both Martin and Segovia were living in Geneva, though whether the great guitarist asked the Swiss composer to write something for him, or whether Martin hoped that Segovia might like the four short pieces well enough to play them, is not clear.
		A new version by Martin was performed by Hermann Leeb in 1938, prompting Segovia to ask Martin for a new copy of the work since he had lost the first one.

		(Sebastian Benda had previously recorded the Ballade under Martin, as had Badura-Skoda "his" Concerto.) Both pianists are in top form, orchestra and conducting very good, and I find the shape of the 1st Concerto more convincing there than on Antonioli's recording.
		A further consideration is that Benda and Badura-Skoda team up to play the first recording of the moody "Danse de la Peur" (Dance of Fear), an arrangement for 2 pianos and small orchestra of music from an unfinished ballet of the mid-1930s (premiered by Martin's friends Dinu and Margherita Lipatti).

		rank Martin (1890 - 1974) is probably the most significant composer to hail from Switzerland.
		Profoundly influenced by both Baroque style through the work of J.S. Bach and just as strongly effected by the French composers of the turn of the century, nevertheless his music is most clearly understood as extended harmony.
		For those who have not had the opportunity to experience the Tempest, suffice to say that this is a comedy with a very happy ending including Ariel's own release from the benevolent servitude of the good Prospero.

		The 3 works here, 2 for orchestra and one for baritone and orchestra, are among the finest by the great Swiss composer Frank Martin (1890-1974).
		The "Petite Symphonie Concertante" is the pick of the lot - nice to have Christiane Jacottet, who once recorded Martin's Harpsichord Concerto under the composer, as one of the soloists - : shrewdly paced and with exceptionally well-judged recording balance.
		Some of the solo parts in the Concerto have been played with more assertive sense of character elsewhere, but the teamwork here is just fine, and again Jordan judges the "build" of the piece expertly.

		Casual acquaintances might best remember his up-beat anecdotes about his keyboard peccadillos on a steam calliope in a Coney Island parade, or his lecture about Hungarian composer Bela Bartok on the grounds of the largest spearmint ranch in the state of Washington.
		In the late 40's, Johnson was a Seattle Symphony pianist under Manuel Rosenthal and Eugene Linden, music director of the Eleanor King Dance Company (for whom he wrote the ballet She), and a member of the University of Washington faculty.
