The Westwood Wind Quintet has performed actively for over 50 years, during which time it gave over 3000 concerts and recorded more than 23 CDs. Famed conductor Robert Shaw wrote the following about the group: "One finds oneself listening to this ensemble as one listens to the finest of string quartets. It is a complete and completely satisfying experience...One hears the music - in beautiful balance, proportion and color."

On this CD, The Westwood Wind Quintet members are Gretel Shanley, flute; Peter Christ, oboe; David Atkins, clarinet; Allen Gusé, horn; and David Breidenthal, bassoon.

High Fidelity Magazine, speaking of this recording of Nielsen and Hindemith Quintets, wrote "Extraordinary tone quality. The Westwood performers manifest a technical finesse and a richness of tone that one would normally expect only from a solo concerto artist. I cannot imagine a better performance than the one given here by the Westwood Wind Quintet."
