HEINRICH KASPAR SCHMID:
Quintet for winds in B flat major, Op. 28 (1919)

KARL GOEPFART:
Quartet in D minor, Op. 93 (1907)
      (for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon)
“pleasing and well-made”  [NEW YORK TIMES]

AUGUST REUSS:
Octet in B major, Op. 37 (1918) – WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING
      (for two oboes, two clarinets, two horns, two bassoons)

“nice timbral contrasts… the scale of this music [Reuss Octet] and the breadth of the sound evoke the sweeping phrases and drama of Strauss.  These three pieces are really lovely”  [Schwartz, AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE]

“fine security of ensemble with appealing timbre.  The sound is bright, impressively detailed and well-balanced…well performed and recorded.”  [Michael Cookson, MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL]
