Limited edition. The original Vienna Octet, led by clarinetist Alfred Boskovsky, made its last recording for Decca in 1972, but he had already revived the group's name by selecting younger members of the Vienna Philharmonic who continued the ensemble's activities and luscious wind music. The successor to Boskovsky in the new octet was clarinetist Peter Schmiedl. The new Vienna Octet also signed an exclusive contract with Decca and began recording in 1977 from the same repertoire that defined their sound and musical approach: Schubert's Octet and Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.At the same time, Schmiedl and his colleagues from the Vienna Philharmonic's wind section founded the wind ensemble, the Vienna Wind Soloists. Their debut was more adventurous, featuring works by Hindemith, Janacek, and Ligeti, but their performances still reflected the unique clarity and brilliance of the Viennese wind sound. The Vienna Wind Soloists recorded Schoenberg's Woodwind Quintet for Deutsche Grammophon in 1977, which Schmiedl recalls as the highlight of his career, as well as Mozart's Clarinet Trio, Clarinet Quintet, and three great serenades All of these pieces are instinctively adaptable. The final recordings of Beethoven's Octet and Sextet, made in 1992, are often underrated, but are fully comparable to the famous Vienna Octet recordings of the 1950s and 1960s. The last recording of Beethoven's Octet and Sextet, made in 1992, is often underestimated.The collection contains numerous first-CD and world-first-CD recordings, including the first CD release of Schubert's Octet from 1976-77 and the world-first CD release of Schoenberg's Woodwind Quintet; the 1980 recording of Mozart's Grand Partita, re-released for the first time in over 30 years, is coupled with the Adagio K.411 (previously released only in Japan) is coupled with the Adagio Includes a new essay by Peter Quantrill with interviews with Peter Schmiedl and producer Michael Haas, and a booklet with archival illustrations and photographs. Newly remastered. Original jacket. The Vienna Wind Soloists' performance (Schoenberg's Woodwind Quintet) is so warm, clear, and meticulous that what is perceived as complex becomes diverse, and what is perceived as difficult becomes rich.
