A precocious violin talent, Bloch left home at the age of seventeen to study with the illustrious Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe, who regognised his pupil's extraordinary creative potential and persuaded him to pursue composition. Bloch's Violin Cocnerto, an underrated rarity, is one of his most important works of the 1930s. Although Bloch attributed the major themes in the Concerto to American Indian songs heard on a visit to New Mexico, he also described the work as portraying 'the complex, glowing, agitated soul that I feel vibrating through the Bible'. The Suite hébraïque, which draws on traditional melodies to evoke a sense of nostalgia, and the exotic tryptich Baal Shem (Three Pictures of Chassidic Life), are indelibly associated with Bloch's 'Jewish works'.

Reviews

N.Hornig in FonoForum 05/08: "Die amerikanische Geigerin Zina Schiff meistert das immer noch unterschätzte Stück auf geigerisch hohem Niveau. Diese Aufnahme macht wiederum deutlich, was andere Geiger hier verpassen. Mit "Baal Shem" und der "Suite Hébraique", ursprünglich für Viola und Orchester geschrieben, rundet sich diese CD zu einem informativen Bloch-Portrait."
