4.0 out of 5 stars Rare Strauss wind works!, July 17, 2000

By 

Darin Schmidt (Bloomington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Richard Strauss: Serenade, Sontina, Suite, Symphony / London Winds (Audio CD)

This CD includes recordings of the Strauss "Indian Summer" wind works - the sonatinas in F and Eb. The playing is facile and nuanced, with the flexibility one would expect in a chamber performance with some of London's top wind players. Top notch!
