Gustav Holst and Gordon Jacob were major figures in twentieth-century British wind and orchestral music, and this 1992 Chandos recording showcases their chamber works for wind instruments brilliantly. Holst, best known for "The Planets," was also a master of intimate instrumental writing, crafting works of genuine lyricism and sophistication. Jacob was a prolific composer building on the English pastoral tradition. The Elysian Wind Quintet and pianist Anthony Goldstone deliver these pieces with warmth and precision, capturing the conversational quality that defines great wind chamber music. Individual voices—oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon—each contribute distinctive colors while clever counterpoint rewards careful listening. The piano additions bring extra harmonic richness. This is sophisticated entertainment: music that never condescends but speaks directly to the listener's emotions. Ideal for those interested in twentieth-century British music and wind repertoire beyond the obvious.
