I just got that recording, the Martinu recording is the best one I have heard! It is worth it alone for that. Personally, I didn't really like the other two pieces. I appreciate a lot of 20th-century stuff, but I really found that they weren't all that well written! To each his own, that's how I felt. They are very interesting, but not great music. Lots of extended techniques and stuff if you're interested (multiphonics, one of the pieces ends on a high A, as in not the A above the staff, but the A above that!! which goes on forever, etc). Honestly though, it's worth it to get it just for the Martinu.
