From Jewish Life features works for cello and orchestra by late-nineteenth and early twentieth century composers of Jewish descent (or, in the case of Max Bruch, interested in the Jewish musical folk idiom). The program is performed by cellist Jonathan Aasgaard and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic (of which Bruch was a former musical director) under the baton of Gerard Schwarz. Whether as a result of microphone placement, balance with the orchestra or an underpowered instrument, Aasgaard fails to reach much more than a mezzo forte throughout the performance and doesn't get much quieter than a mezzo piano. Regrettably, the remainder of the works on the album are subjected to the same lack of dynamic contrast. The overall result is an album that quickly grows tiresome and dull after just a few minutes of listening.
