The Nash Ensemble returns once more to the music of Max Bruch, having previously recorded the composer's string octet and quintets. For this recording, the Nash Ensemble pares down to smaller dimensions of two to four instruments. Bruch's most famous works -- the Violin Concerto in G minor, Op. 26, Scottish Fantasy, Op. 46, and Kol Nidrei, Op. 47 -- have been performed and recorded frequently, but his chamber music, written during his early and late life, has suffered from neglect and loss due to early 20th century European political strife, war, and the modernist movement. Here, the Nash Ensemble offers two works from each period. The Piano Trio in C minor, Op. 5, and the String Quartet No. 2 in E major, Op. 10, are from his student years. The Piano Trio begins, uncommonly for the era, with a slow opening movement with an attacca into a playfully dancing Allegro assai. Four Pieces for cello and piano, Op. 70, was written -- as was Kol Nidrei -- for Robert Hausmann, a giant of the day. The opening movement, "Aria," was borrowed from Bruch's son Max Felix and fully realized by the elder Max. While Bruch's interest in folk music is heard throughout much of his output, it's even more apparent in the final three movements of this work, "Finnländisch," "Schwedisch," and "Schottisch." Of particular note is the Romance for viola and orchestra, Op. 85, heard here in the composer's arrangement for viola and piano. Having written popular works for the violin, the choice of viola for his Romance gives this oft-maligned instrument a wonderful display piece. The sound at All Saints' Church in East Finchley, London, is lovely, but a more intimate setting would have better suited this recording. A worthy addition to chamber music libraries and for those interested in further examining this composer's oeuvre.
