Pavel Haas: Wind Quintet op. 10:
Ray Naessen: Ikaros:
György Ligeti: Six Bagatelles for Wind Quintett (1953):
Sven-David Sandström: Wind Pieces:
Exklusives für Bläserquintett. Der Haas war eine Entdeckung für mich, sehr schön. Das einzige sehr bekannte ist der Ligeti. Ikaros ist in großen Teilen sehr lyrisch und choralartig gehalten. Wie bei dem Thema (junger Mann stürzt sich aus Übermut zu Tode) nicht anders zu erwarten eher dunkle Stimmungen. Rund gespielt.
