Notes & Reviews:

Anton Reicha may certainly be hailed as the founder of the wind quintet. Alas, as a genre the wind quintet does not arouse the same lofty sentiments of awe and profound respect as does the noble string quartet, and is but seldom heard. Matters were altogether different in the Paris of the early eighteenth century. Between 1811 and 1820, Reicha composed and published no fewer than 24 wind quintets. The Grand Quintet for bassoon and string quartet dates from Paris in 1826. It is indeed on a grand scale, being one of the longest pieces in this genre (c. 40 min.). "Island" is a unique ensemble of European based Australian women.
