Five for five chamber music

Description

Five for Five features five quintets, each giving a voice to a different soloist. Thus, bassoon, clarinet, oboe, flute, or English horn interact with the string quartet, listening to each other, blending, avoiding, and responding. Michael Fine, a composer and producer honored with multiple awards, including a Grammy, explores in these quintets the connections that unite the instruments, protagonists and actors of the work, and whose impulses captivate and carry us away. With this new recording, Michael Fine proves that he is just as at home in chamber music as in orchestral music. He navigates from one to the other with equal ease, demonstrating the same simplicity, which is the very strength of expression in his works.
