The Schwiller String Quintet:
Isidore Schwiller (violin)
Gerald Emms (violin)
Keith Cummings (viola)
Horace Ayckboum (viola) John Holmes (violoncello)
Max Bruch , whose Violin Concerto in G minor is known to all violinists, and whose ' Kol Nidrei ' is equally familiar to cellists, was made an Honorary Doctor of Music in the University of Cambridge, and all his life he was very proud of this distinction. He had a great admiration for Scottish and Welsh folk music, of which he published several arrangements for male and mixed choruses. Bruch died in 1920. The String Quintet, like the Octet which received its first performance in a broadcast programme last July, is still in manuscript. It also shows, with Bruch's other chamber works, a fine style of classical writing and a keen melodic sense.
