Bassoon Quartet

This piece for Flute, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon was premiered April 18th, 2012 in Istanbul by its commissioner, the Nis'tanbul Quartet, composed of Sibel Pensel, Aysegül Kirmanoglu, Patrick Peignier and Arthur Menrath. Armando Ghidoni's Swinging Counterpoint keeps all of its title's promises: flowing with the same naturalness, the same fluidity as Bach's, the counterpoint masterfully blends the colours and the lilt of swing. Recorded by the Nis'tanbul Quartet for the label Chant de Linos, the work bursts with inspiration, a melodic sincerity and a joyful insouciance. / Quartette A Vent

6 Original Pieces for Woodwind Quartet. And we?re off! Otto M. Schwarz takes us on a tour of his native Austria in this six-movement work. Passing by the great landmarks of this beautiful country we?re travelling by narrow-gauge railway, by car and finally by high-speed train. Fabled castles, famous gardens in Salzburg (the Mirabell Gardens) and Vienna or the Schloss Esterházy, the palace in Burgenland, where Joseph Haydn worked for many years, are just as important as the mode of transport. As the saying goes, the journey is its own reward.
