It is not before time that both these substantial Parry chamber works are at last available on CD...The Bridge Quartet provide sympathetic interpretations of this unfamiliar repertoire which...deserves to be better known. Full marks to EM Records for making both these works available.
27th January 2014
The Bridge Quartet, admirably reinforced by Robert Gibbs in the Quintet, are splendid advocates of this music. The recording, by one of EM Records’ regular engineers, Richard Bland, is very clear and present. This is a highly desirable release.
