Author:
Classical Winds' inclusion of the discarded Beethoven Rondino, WoO25 in their period-instrument version of the Octet, Op. 103 is supported by solid musicological argument; here, though, the Vienna Wind Soloists play only the four movements published in the first edition of 1830. As in the two Mozart pieces on this disc, their polished sound and fluent handling of varied instrumental groupings is immensely satisfying. They convey a convincing sense of forward drive throughout; the duet between oboe and bassoon is beautifully balanced in the Adagio, and the performance culminates in a virtuoso finale that bubbles with energy.'
