Farrenc Piano and Wind Sextet on Warner

[alberto]

Warner has just (to my knowledge) released a very interesting three Cd  box by the (marvellous) "Les Vents Francais" (Pahud, Meyer, Leleux, Audin, Vlatkovic plus the pianist Le Sage).
For me the gem of the set, at least as novelty, is the delightful piano and winds Sextet by Louise Farrenc (1852).
Almost as interesting the Caplet Quintet for Piano and winds (1899-idiom like early Debussy).
Other works by Thuile, Rimsky, Mozart, Beethoven, Roussel, Poulenc.
An interesting note on "price policy" the 3 CDs set (2014 recordings) costs as a full price Cd.
