Frank Bridge is one of those composers who has been generally dismissed for his ‘Englishness’ and is probably remembered best today as the teacher of Benjamin Britten. But this disc of chamber music will radically change this appraisal. It particularly reveals Bridge’s strong French influence, the dance-like quality of his writing darkened with a brooding inspiration, and the music’s dramatic and emotional heart. Three important and very different works are collected here: the elegant early Idylls, the ambitious Piano Quintet and the extraordinary String Quartet No 4, Bridge’s last chamber work, written during a period of near-fatal illness, yet displaying a progressive, forward-looking musical language that shows the great range of this undervalued composer.

We are delighted to welcome the Goldner Quartet back to Hyperion for their second disc. Their first also featuring pianist Piers Lane was universally acclaimed as a truly great chamber recording, and has been nominated for a BBC Music Magazine award.



BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE DISC OF THE MONTH

'This is an absolutely splendid disc, with powerful, committed performances that illuminate Bridge's mastery of chamber music' (BBC Music Magazine)

'[Fourth Quartet] This is arguably Bridge's most rivetingly cogent and harmonically bracing statement, evincing a deftness, compassion, and unerring intellectual scope that beg comparison with the greatest 20th-century examples in the medium … These unfailingly sympathetic, flexible and exhilaratingly assured performances (that of the Quartet, on balance, the finest to date) have been most truthfully captured by the microphones; Bridge's cataloguer Paul Hindmarsh provides the scholarly annotation … This is clearly a release to investigate, as well as a distinguished addition to the steadily growing Bridge discography' (Gramophone)

'Bridge's musical personality shines through in the sweeping phrases, tinged with a certain brooding quality … The performance by Piers Lane and the Goldner Quartet is very fine, with a particularly strong sense of musical line … This newcomer on Hyperion is especially welcome' (International Record Review)
