Synopsis

Album Description
This is the first release of a set of 12 CDs of Reicha?s 24 woodwind quintets. Reicha (1770-1836) was a friend of Beethoven and Haydn and was one of the most influential composers of his period. Professor of Counterpoint and Fugue at the Paris Conservatoire, his pupils included Berlioz, Gounod, and Liszt. The Westwood Wind Quintet, established in 1959, has performed over 2000 concerts and recorded more than 15 albums, not including this Reicha series. The group was called "a complete and completely satisfying musical experience" by Robert Shaw, legendary conductor.
