ARUNDOSquintett - Origin (2022) [Hi-Res]

On its debut recording, the ARUNDOSquintett demonstrates its joy of playing, virtuosity and chamber music strength - with wind quintets by four composers who, like the ensemble, found "home" in North Rhine-Westphalia in very different ways. Influences and inspirations ranging from the folk music of the Balkans in Ligeti's early Six Bagatelles to African trance music in Guth's composition NGOMA to the esprit of French modernism in Trojahn's and Blomenkamp's music awaken the classical wind ensemble for the 21st century classical wind formation to new, inspired life for the 21st century as well.
