WOODWIND
QUINTET
of the Orchestre de Paris
The Wind Quintet of the Orchestre de Paris is a formation that emerged from the Orchestre de Paris, which was founded in 1967 by Charles Munch and heir of the famous Society of Conservatoire Concerts since 1828.
The Wind Quintet of the Orchestre de Paris offers a wide repertoire ranging from Mozart to Ligeti, with a special affinity for the French repertoire. The CD of the Complete Chamber Music for Winds by Camille Saint-Saëns, recorded by the Quintet collaborating with French pianist Laurent Wagschal, was selected in the category "Best Recording" at Victoires de la Musique 2011, at the same time André Cazalet was nominated as best soloist of the year and Philippe Berrod was Guest of Honour of the ceremony. The Quintet regularly performs with Laurent Wagschal as a Sextet.
