Bliss: String Quartet No. 2; Clarinet Quintet Maggini Quartet/David Campbell, clarinet (Naxos 8.557394)
This Naxos release of two fine compositions by English composer Arthur Bliss (1891-1975) is a real delight; I would recommend it highly to anyone who has even the least hint of affinity for chamber music. Both pieces are quite approachable, with plenty of pleasures for the ear, so you need not be daunted by the dates of composition. If you enjoy the music of Vaughan Williams, for example, you should find these pieces quite to your liking. And at the Naxos budget price, you can't go wrong giving this disc a try.
