"The first time I encountered Martinů’s music I was prenatal when my mother was singing Martinů’s 'Sung Ballet' with a choir ..." Bohuslav has told The Violin Channel.

"As a young violinist, I recorded Martinů's complete string quartets with the Stamic Quartet - and his violin and piano works with, pianist Petr Adamec ... Martinů's body of works for the violin are gorgeous and very extensive ..." he has said.

"For some listeners, the first encounter with the music of Martinů can be quite shocking  - but I am immensely happy to be the bearer of his wonderful music."
