Golijov
Golijov: The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind; Vasks: String Quartet No.6 (Challenge Classics)
One much performed contemporary classic and one first recording make up this unusual programme [SB]
Golijov / Clyne: Perfectly Free (Challenge Classics)
Impressive and attractive recent cello concertos, superbly realised [SB]
Hommages: Works for strings (BIS)
A varied selection that repays repeated hearing; the arrangement of Apollon musagète is a real ear-opener [HC]
