Description
The fourth concert of the 1981-82 season of the San Francisco Chamber Music Society, featured the Caselli Ensemble, a wind quintet made up from members of the San Francisco Symphony. The concert was recorded live, on January 25, 1982 at the Fireman’s Fund Forum in San Francisco, and featured four 20th century compositions by Carl Nielsen, Bill Douglas, Irving Fine, and Leoš Janáček. All the works are scored for bassoon, oboe, clarinet, horn, and flute, except for “Mladi” by Leoš Janáček which added an extra bass clarinet to the ensemble. Each of the works is given a brief introduction by a different member of the ensemble, in which they provide some background information about the composer and the particular piece.
