Kammermusik-matinee by Nielsen, Arnold, Malcolm, Poulenc, Nuo (2023/2023), Deutsches Nationaltheater, Weimar, Germany

The extremely attractive (wood) wind quintet formation has produced numerous characteristic works that also play with national stylistic elements in a wide variety of ways. In addition to the quintet op. 43 by the Danish late romantic composer Carl Nielsen and the sextet (with piano) by the witty French »rascal« Françis Poulenc, this concert receives a special touch of color from Malcolm Arnold's »Shanties« op. 4.
