The rest of the programme makes easier (soggier?) listening. Robert Starer’s contribution recalls the concerto he wrote for Itzhak Perlman, which Michael Oliver rather cruelly described as ‘like Bloch with chilli sauce’. Fortunately, standards of recording and execution are high: Gerard Schwarz extracts sensitive accompaniments and the jazz-inflected playing of David Krakauer is always provocative.
