Moser’s cello tone is superb and his playing is idiomatic. Korobeinikov is an ideal accompanist with well-judged dynamics. This team does not emphasize the herky-jerky nature that is often associated with Martinů’s music. Their slightly more legato playing really brings out the best in it, yet they don’t miss out on the rhythmic energy inherent in the music.
