Awards and reviews
January 2015
This is an excellent collection of music by Bliss and for the uninitiated it offers a very good introduction to his work. For the more seasoned Bliss collector there may well be opportunities to plug gaps in your collection. All these performances are worth hearing and the sound quality ranges from good – in the 1950s recordings – to first rate.
