It was with great enthusiasm that SOMM embarked on this project – Joubert celebrates his 80th birthday in March 2007. Joubert is no stranger to music lovers. He is a prolific composer whose carol Torches, a miniature gem, has become a favourite throughout the Christian world. The first of our two discs is devoted to Joubert’s chamber music with a superb performance of his 2nd String Quartet by the Brodsky Quartet. The second disc features the Lyric Fantasy played by Mark Bebbington and the three Piano Sonatas played by John McCabe.
Brodsky Quartet: Patricia Rozario – Soprano
David Chadwick – Violin
Anna Joubert – Cello,
John McCabe, Mark Bebbington – Piano.
