“A HUGELY GIFTED ENSEMBLE OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION, THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE FIVE YOUNG PLAYERS IS MAGICAL, THE MATURITY AND SENSITIVITY OF THEIR PLAYING IS A DELIGHT!” [PAUL PATTERSON – COMPOSER]
Debussy: Syrinx
Arnold: Divertimento for Wind Trio
Macmillan: Untold
Arnold: Fantasy for solo horn
Nielsen: Wind Quintet Op 43
A bright and breezy hour of music for 1,3 or 5 instruments as the Magnard Quintet juggle textures and moods, all leading up to Nielsen’s tour de force. He wrote it for friends, musicians he knew well and you can hear him giving each player his place, his moment in the spotlight. Malcolm Arnold wrote some of the most amazing music for winds – and he was at his finest one-to-one with an instrument.
