content: Robert Bloom's lyrical phrasing is very evident here. The recording quality is not so good, but the disk is worth having, especially for anyone who remembers the Bach Aria Group in its first incarnation from the late 1940's through '60's I think. The group also featured the terrific flutist Julius Baker, who was also principal flute in the New York Philharmonic, the violinist Maurice Wilk, and the cellist Bernard Greenhouse. I would love to find some reissues of their 1950's LPs but haven't been able.
