There is a very nice review of Bohuslav Martinů's opera-pastoral and Symphony No. 1 recorded by Czech Philharmonic and Jiří Bělohlávek in the January 2019 edition of Gramophone.
„Martinů’s limpid score counterpoints and underlines the action with beautifully understated finesse and perfect pacing. This all-Czech performance from December 2014 uses the original English text and is enchanting… While this new, final account [Symphony No. 1] does not displace the older one, with this orchestra in that hall, it is something special.“
