About the composition

Keep on Kissing, Love (Líbej, milá, líbej!, 1910), H 27, is among the earliest of Martinů's songs and is an attractive instance of a postDvořák love-song, though its warning to enjoy “first love” to the full brings a degree of expressive ambivalence towards the close. The recording of the composition was released for the first time by Naxos in 2014 (Martinů: Songs, Vol. 2 – The Months; Jana Wallingerová, Giorgio Koukl).
