If the wind quintet genre has its origins in the early 19th century, it was during the 20th that it came of age. The possibilities that the combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and

horn offered in terms of sounds and musical character were exploited to the full by composers such as
Carl Nielsen
,
Paul Hindemith
and
Darius Milhaud
. Once the ensemble had become firmly established, it also became common practice to add instruments, or to vary the timbres in other ways. In his
Septuor
, Charles Kœchlin
included not only an alto saxophone but also a cor anglais, the same instrument that
Heitor Villa-Lobos
replaced the (French) horn with in the
Quintette en forme de Chôros
. One of the most extreme cases in the literature, however, is
Hans-Werner Henze's
L'autunno
'for five players of wind instruments', in which each player is required to perform on almost all the related instruments in the family of his main instrument, resulting in an instrumentarium ranging from piccolo flute to Wagner tuba and contrabassoon. Together with three other compositions, Henze's autumnal piece has lent its name to the discs included in this box set, the others being
Printemps
by
Henri Tomasi
,
Samuel Barber
's
Summer Music
and
Winter Songs
,
Brett Dean
's settings of five poems by E. E. Cummings for tenor and wind quintet. Individually released by the
Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet
between 1992 and 2003, these four discs are here gathered into a full seasonal cycle: a catalogue of 20th-century music for wind quintet, performed by an ensemble that a reviewer in
BBC Music Magazine
has described as follows: ’Accustomed to working together with the world’s most gifted and demanding conductors, the five players distil all the discipline, versatility and musical characterisation that is demanded of them daily. They combine this with the mutual generosity and tangible sense of enjoyment of those just freed from the maestro’s yoke.’
