L'enregistrement de ces cœuvres rares de musique de chambre relie deux périodes créatrices du compositeur suisse Ernest Bloch. La La rhapsodique Méditation hébraïque (1925) est imprégnée de cette sensibilité à la mélodie et aux rythmes de la musique juive qui rendit Bloch célèbre au début du Xe siècle. La même intensité sonore caractérise ses trois Suites pour violoncelle seul composées entre 1956 et 1958, qui ont recours aux formes baroques.
Die Aufnahme dieser Kammermusik-Raritäten verbindet zwei Schaffensperioden des Schweizer Komponisten Ernest Bloch. Die rhapsodische "Méditation hébraïque" (1925) ist von jenem Gespür für die jüdische Melodik und Rhythmik beseelt, mit dem Bloch Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts berühmt wurde. Ähnlich klangintensiv sind auch seine "Drei Suiten für Violoncello solo", die zwischen 1956 und 1958 entstanden und an der barocken Formensprache angelehnt sind.
