Content and physical description
ContentPeter Diamand has found out from Rudolf Firkušný, who will play CONCERTO FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA No.4 (INCANTATION) in the world premiere in Edinburgh, that Bohuslav Martinů wrote an opera [Greek PASSIONS] based on the book by Nikos Kazantzakis. He would be very pleased if BM would provide him with a piano extract, libretto and other material relating to performances of the work that have taken place or are planned. This new work is of great interest to the 1958 Holland Festival.
