The Westwood Wind Quintet has now recorded 23 of the 24 monumental Anton Reicha Woodwind Quintets. This, volume 4, is our fifth release of two quintets each. So far, volumes 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 have been released. We will be releasing the other volumes when they are ready, about one every five months, and we should be finished with the recording part of the project by the end of this year. "The Westwood Wind Quintet was described by the late Robert Shaw as 'a complete and completely satisfying musical experience.' from the evidence of my ears, the group is ideal for recording what is planned as a complete cycle of Reicha's 24 wind quintets." (Classik Reviews, Atlanta Audio Society) "The players seek, find, and reveal the numerous qualities that have kept Reicha's Quintets alive for almost two centuries. The performances radiate affection for the music and technical virtuosity. Top-notch playing that can only be envied by lesser ensembles. The recording is invigorating, fresh, and imaginative. Exceptional Reicha project, splendidly played." (Fanfare Magazine)
