Paul Hindemith - Septet (1948)
A live, unedited recording from a performance on October 9, 2016 at St. Andrew's Church in Beacon, NY. The piece is a rare addition of the trumpet to a fairly typical woodwind ensemble. In many ways, the piece is quintessential Hindemith, wrought from traditional forms, and dizzyingly difficult to perform live. The second and fourth movements are palindromes of one another.
Leos Janacek - Mladi (1924)
A live, unedited recording from a performance on October 9, 2016 at St. Andrew's Church in Beacon, NY of Leos Janacek's wonderful work for wind quintet plus bass clarinet, Mladi. Written at the height of his popularity, this work looks back on the sounds and emotions of his youth.
