This Swedish based quintet provides great variety of wind quintet music.

They represent group who have played together long, from conservatory days together, than touring.

They play especially well on Nielsen's opening movement from His Op. 43 for Wind Quintet. Also fond of Farkas' Hungarian Dances, especially Intrada and V. Ugros.

Strong effort on Ibert's Three Short Pieces, loving especially the tightness of the Andante.

The horn player is exceptional!
