About

Serenity and meditation contrast with melancholy and savagery; primitive passions yield to poignancy, nobility and tenderness in Bloch’s accomplished chamber music. Five substantial pieces are recorded here, dating from different stages of the composer’s career and demonstrating both the programmatic elements of his writing and his Impressionistic side.

Bloch’s deep affinity for string instruments and the piano is also given ample expression in these works, all of which deserve a permanent place in the chamber music repertoire.

They are given performances of great vitality and sensitivity by the Goldner String Quartet and Piers Lane.

Goldner String Quartet:
Dene Olding, violin
Dimity Hall, violin
Irina Morozova, viola
Julian Smiles, cello
