Alongside the repertoire for wind quintets, OSMOSIS performs chamber repertoire for winds and strings of the early romantic period on historical instruments. To hear this repertoire for the first time on these instruments is to encounter a world of colours that has since vanished. This program is a celebration of the soundscapes that Danzi, Mengal, Beethoven, and Reicha exploited; indescribably rich, ever-changing, breathtaking, and transient music performed by one of the world’s foremost woodwind ensembles.

FRANZ IGNAZ DANZI (1763-1826) Quintet op.56 No.2 in g minor

JOSEPH MARTIN MENGAL (1784-1851) Quintet after Mozart in g minor

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Variations on “Là ci darem la mano” from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” for flute, clarinet and bassoon

ANTON REICHA (1770-1836) Quintet op.88 No.2 in E flat major
