Reicha published a total of 24 wind quintets for the âclassicalâ scoring of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon; op. 88 no. 2 is one of the best-loved and most played. âIf it were possible to surpass Haydn in the composition of quartets and quintets, Reicha would have succeeded with these quintetsâ, thus raved the âAllgemeine Musikalische Zeitungâ on a performance of Reichaâs quintets, âit seems to me that it is impossible to unite more correctness and clarity with more inventiveness and originality.â This work exudes inspiration and spirit from every note. In addition to the parts, we have also produced a handy study edition of the score.
