BSO On Your Doorstep | Wind Octet
Full of drama and exuberance, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s Wind Octet play extracts from Mozart’s Don Giovanni – including the Overture, music full of the vitality and virility of the Don himself.
The beauty of wind instruments and the virtuoso of the players are showcased with Octets by Gipps and Beethoven, a charming quintet by Zemlinsky and Debussy’s Syrinx exhibits the beauty of solo flute.
Ibert’s Trois Pièces brèves interweaves flute and clarinet lines to a delicate effect. There is a freshness and elegance to the melodies throughout these three short pieces.
Price originally wrote Adoration for an organ church performance, but this arrangement sees the piece in new light as it is performed by wind players. Price’s unique style is on display, as she weaves African American spiritual melodies with European classical tradition.
