The dandelion is a well-known plant that adorns meadows and fields and goes through several stages of development until finally, thanks to the power of the wind, the ripe seeds are blown across the expanse of the landscape. The Dandelion Quintet has named itself after this flower and figuratively embodies its characteristics. The woodwind quintet combines virtuosity and joy of playing with natural ease to create colourful soundscapes.
The works on their debut album “Windspiel” are representative of the formation’s repertoire: classics of contemporary music – represented here by György Ligeti and Samuel Barber – meet experimental composers of the present, namely Simon Popp, Ralph Heidel and Henrik Ajax. Past meets present in the certainty that we will be hearing a lot more from the Dandelion Quintet in the future.
