Atéa Quintet - Music for Nine Winds (2019)

Even taking into account undeniable beauties, the Bläserkammermusik with regard to the public favor in the shadow of chamber music for strings of quite a few exceptions once stood apart. What possibilities arise from a mere brass instrumentation impressively illustrates the recording of Atéa Quintet at COVIELLO. Broadened to a nonet, the British let us discover a true gem of this genre with the Concerto for Flute and eight winds by the English late Romantic William Alwyn. No less worth listening to is the extraordinarily successful adaptation of Mozart's Sonata for Piano Four Hands KV 497 by Quentin Pole.
