This semi-legendary Martinu concerto from the time of the Fifth symphony has a new recording under Christopher Hogwood, broadcast on a (for the most part very trashy) UK station in a few hours. I haven't heard it for 20 years but it's one of his finest works.

So the work somehow manages to be very good even though you haven't listened to it for 20 years?
