Franz Danzi: Quintets in F Major, op. 68, no. 2; and D Minor, op. 68, no. 3. Paul Taffanel: Wind Quintet in G Minor. The two Danzi Quintets presented here were likely the last two of his nine woodwind quintets. They and the Taffanel Quintet are superb examples of woodwind writing in the early and late 19th century.

The Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet (Felix Skowronek, flute; Laila Storch, oboe; William McColl, clarient; Arthur Grossman, bassoon; Christopher Leuba, horn) was active as a concert and recording ensemble from 1961 through 2001. The group was formed when Pablo Casals asked the players to become the woodwind faculty of his newly founded Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico. The individual players of the group had been first-chair players in major symphonies, including those of Chicago, Cincinnati, Houston and St. Louis, and the Salzburg Mozarteum and Philharmonia Hungarica of Vienna. For many years, Soni Ventorum was the woodwind and horn faculty at the University of Washington.
