Bloech s 6-movement suite for flute, viola, and guitar is more a beautiful, textural recital work than what a set of Christmas songs might initially suggest. Familiar melodies are tweaked and traditional harmonies are casually, Romantically expanded into a rather lovely - well, a rather lovely full Suite.
Particularly recommended at a first listen is the final Silent Night movement. The instrumentation alternates between movements, and here the guitar holds touches of quiet flamenco-jazz while the flute opens in the low melody, beneath.
