This chamber music is new to me. Magnificent music and performances, particularly the first SQ.
Bloch is much under-rated in my opinion. These are great quartets.

Other than his magnificent work Schelomo these quartets are the only other exposure that I have to this composer; definitely one to explore further.

It is marvellous music-making by Solti and the CSO

The two Concerti Grossi (especially #1) are great. Check out Baal Shem for Violin and Piano (or orchestra), the Méditation hébraïque cello and piano and the three solo cello suites. Some have found the big Symphony in c# is worth a listen, I found it a bit tedious.

Those recommendations are very much appreciated Don and I will certainly look into all of them.

After listening to Scriabin I tuned in to Lyric and enjoyed:
Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No.3 in C, Op.26
NDR Symphony Orchestra
Simon Trpceski (piano)
Nikolaj Znaider (conductor)
I do LOVE Prokofiev's Third Concerto.
and I am now listening to:
Dvorak: Symphony No.7 in D minor, Op.70
NDR Symphony Orchestra
Nikolaj Znaider (conductor)
