The performances on this archival CD include the artists and representative recordings from the beginning of the quintet in the 60s; many are taken from a large collection of reel-to-reel and cassette tapes which were transferred to digital format. The performances are all very exciting and represent a cross section of the music the group has performed standard repertoire, commissioned and newer works, and transcriptions. Enjoy this retrospectacular look at the amazing Dorian Wind Quintet.
