About
"Violinist Miriam Kramer's tone is vibrato-laden, yet bittersweet, perfectly suited to this repertoire. Pianist Simon Over is a sympathetic accompanist with a finely gradated control of dynamics-especially crucial in the Sonata No. 2. At budget price, and being the only CD containing this well-chosen and logical combination of items, this is highly recommendable."

Miriam Kramer's programme might usefully serve as a sort of 'Bloch starter-pack', with the delightful Suite hébraïque as its tuneful opener.
'Rapsodie', the Suite's first movement, harbours a noble melody reminiscent of top-drawer Max Bruch and Kramer's performance of it could hardly be more heartfelt. Both violin sonatas are given extremely good performances, that of the Second particularly fine especially in the ecstatic, double-stopped statements of the central theme. The combination of Kramer's musicianship and Naxos's price will be irresistible to most repertory explorers.
