‘Every instrument is like a person sleeping, whom I must wake to life,’ Nielsen once said, and there is something enchanted about the opening of his Wind Quintet, in which the bassoon seems to bring the other instruments joyfully to life. Nielsen’s radiant work is joined by another classic of the wind ensemble repertoire in this program. ‘Mozart is sunshine,’ Dvořák used to tell his composition students, and his only wind serenade, inspired by Mozart’s examples, is suffused with warmth and light.
