The musicologist Robert Simpson once wrote that Nielsen's Wind Quintet reflects the composer's "love of living, breathing things…his intense interest in the human character". The challenge for ensembles is to reveal those human characteristics while making sense of the musical journey and finding some form of 'togetherness'. We have already heard so many different ways of doing it...and we are hearing another one now.
