According to the French Wikipedia entry (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedwige_Chr%C3%A9tien) on her, the French composer Hedwige Chrétien wrote some 250 works in various forms and genres, but it would appear that only her beautiful wind quintet in two movements has ever been recorded. A performance on Youtube is also available, played by the Quintette Allegria: 1st movement (https://youtu.be/zgnRLfVizH8) and second movement (https://youtu.be/PJoais0ssGw).
