Les Vents Français have been described as “the wind-quintet equivalent of a supergroup”. The ensemble’s five members – Emmanuel Pahud, Paul Meyer, Francois Leleux, Gilbert Audin and Radovan Vlatković, all world-renowned soloists in their own right – are joined by pianist Eric Le Sage for a fascinating 3-CD programme of chamber music that spans three centuries and the French, Austro-German and Russian repertoires.
Gramophone Editor's Choice: "This is a positive dream team, who not only capture the music's individual spirit but also clearly enjoy doing so...A compelling compendium of creative variety unified by matchless musicianship."
