Music for Winds / London Winds
The ensemble London Winds, praised by BBC Music for its ātechnical accomplishment, expressive commitment and warmth of timbreā, presents in this recording great twentieth-century works for winds.
It features music by Hindemith, Nielsen, and JanĆ”cek, and, from the next generation, Barber and Ligeti. Although not equally prolific (Kleine Kammermusik is Hindemithās single contribution to that genre while winds are generally more prominent in Nielsenās music), all these composers brought the wind repertoire back to prominence, after a quiet period of more than a century. The music is full of playfulness and European folk colours.
A stunning combination of virtuoso players who also enjoy active solo careers, the ensemble London Winds is renowned for its technical brilliance, interpretative vision, and joie de vivre. Founded in 1988 by the British clarinettist Michael Collins, the group rapidly became one of the worldās most prominent chamber ensembles.
Review:
There's plenty of personality in the playing here, with much wit in the Allegro ben moderato and the charming minuet. London Winds deliver an exuberant account, surpassing my previous favorite, the Michael Thompson Wind Quintet.
