  2. The Gramophone - Volume 77 - Page 118 - 2000 "Les larmes du couteau is a strange surrealist piece (Eleonora is in love with a hanged man; her death - she dies only temporarily - brings him back to life, but he rejects her) but also one of Martinu's most promiscuous flirtations with 1920s modernism. A spikily lively manner, rooted in Stravinsky and his Parisian followers, is seasoned with popular idioms: foxtrots and a bluesy, Weill-ish aria for Eleonora; a nostalgic off-stage accordion gives a foretaste of Martinu's much later Julietta."
