Jean Françaix's music represents a rare combination: it is modern and intelligible. When he penned his Wind Quintet No. 1 shortly after World War II, he was already a world-famous composer whose clear, constructive musical idiom had made him a real people-pleaser. People were looking for emotionally direct music with an intelligible message and found it in Françaix's fresh, light, and witty style. - MD&G

”Musical fireworks ... this new recording of the complete wind quintets of Jean Francaix marks the stupendous debut of the Berlin Chamber Ensemble.”
