The major attraction on this new violin/piano recital is Ernest Bloch's Violin Sonata No. 2, "Poeme Mystique." The present recording is especailly noteworthy since it is the first and only one to include Bloch's revision of the work. The composer's daughter, Suzanne Bloch provided violinist Sergiu Schwartz with the manuscript and entrusted him with the honor of realizing her father's final thoughts on the workin performance. The Zemlinsky Serenade appears to be a first recording of this work. Sergiu Schwartz and Alec Chien turn in exceptionally refined, musical performances.
