Britten - Bliss The esteemed Vermeer Quartet joins forces with phenomenal oboist Alex Klein in three pillars of 20th-century British chamber music. Britten's spellbinding Phantasy Quartet (1932) for oboe and string trio was his first work to gain international recognition. This passionate piece displays elements that became hallmarks of his unique style. Noteworthy for its sublime balance between oboe and strings, Bliss's lovely Quintet for Oboe & String Quartet (1927) deftly blends diverse styles and influences, concluding with the ingenious use of an Irish jig.   DR111 Price:   £12.99		View Back Cover
