Bridge’s Cello Sonata, a wartime work of 1913-17, is notable for its lyrical beauty.
From Jewish Life, composed by Ernest Bloch in 1924, explores the whole range of the cello, with a distinctive atmosphere deriving from Eastern European Ashkenazi modality. Brahms’ Sonata is one of the great late romantic works for cello, and we end with Chopin’s entertaining Polonaise.
