Bridge String Quartet - Frank Bridge: Chamber Music (2014)

SOMM’s highly successful series on British music continues with a disc which contains one of Frank Bridge’s most beautiful works, the Piano Quintet in D minor. The Quintet is thematically a particularly hearfelt and impassioned work, possibly reflecting Bridge’s own separation from his close confidante and future wife, Ethel Sinclair, who returned to her native Australia after graduation from the RCM in 1903.

Bridge String Quartet:
Colin Twigg, Cathy Schofield – Violins
Michael Schofield – Viola
Lucy Wilding – Cello
