Reicha: Wind Quintets

The prize-winning Thalia Ensemble is an inspiring young group excelling in performance on 'period' instruments. This debut recording presents two of Antoine Reicha's opulent wind quintets, recognized across Europe as the pinnacle of their genre and an overnight sensation when they were first performed in Paris in the early nineteenth century.

A 24-bit 192 kHz studio master for this album is available from the Linn Records website.
