Immerse yourself in the captivating world of classical music with Johanna Martzy's "Contemporary Works," a 40-minute journey through a diverse collection of pieces performed with exquisite skill and artistry. Released on June 1, 2011, under The Lost Noises Office label, this album showcases Martzy's exceptional talent on the viola, accompanied by piano, in a selection of contemporary works that span various styles and moods.

Manuel de Falla's "Danse Espagnole From 'La Vida Breve'" adds a touch of Spanish flair, while Karol Szymanowski's "Notturno Et Tarantella, Op. 28 No.2" offers a dramatic contrast. The heart of the album lies in the sonatas by Arthur Honegger and Ernst Krenek, each piece revealing Martzy's technical prowess and expressive depth.
