Has been, for almost 15 years.  Superb performances, but how hard are Bloch's Quartets?

Some people have difficulty if music is not 'forward moving' and goal oriented horizontal music. Vertical music is music that imparts a sense of linear time and seems to move towards goals. This quality permeates virtually all of Western music from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras. This is accomplished by processes which occur within tonal and metrical frameworks.

Examples of forward-moving goal oriented music horizontal music: Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, Mozart symphonies

When music is "vertical," they have problems. Vertical music is music that evokes a sense of nonlinear time and seems to stand still or evolve very slowly. Whatever structure that is in the music exists between simultaneous layers of sound, not between successive gestures. A virtually static moment is expanded to encompass an entire piece.

Examples of vertical music: Barber's Symphony No. 1, Piano Concerto
