Israel Woodwind QuintetAbout
Why Arrangements?
Any woodwind quintet ensemble who tries to build a musically well-balanced concert programme based on only original works for the group soon realises the impossibility of doing so. Apart from the music of the 20th century masters like Hindemith, Schoenberg, Barber and Milhaud, none of the great masters of earlier periods wrote any works for this ensemble, although this combination of instruments has existed since the end of the 18th century.
It is therefore of great importance that we have an expert like Mordechai Rechtman, who by his arrangements of masterpieces written originally for all kinds of combinations of instruments, enriches the repertoire immensely to the benefit of all woodwind quintets.
The Israeli Woodwind Quintet was founded in 1963 by the "first chair" players of the Israel Philharmonic. They have performed in many concerts in Israel, Europe and the USA, among them Spoleto "Two Worlds" Festival and the Israel Festival. The Quintet has appeared with many well-known soloists, such as Daniel Barenboim, Claude Franck, Bruno Canino and the vocalist Mira Zakai. Their repertoire consists of original works and transcriptions from the Baroque and Classical periods and also modern works by Shoenberg, Berio, Ligeti and others, also Israeli works commissioned especially for the quintet. Its members have appeared as soloists with many of the worlds great orchestras.
Mordechai Rechtman (b 1926) is a renowned bassoonist, conductor, arranger, teacher and educator. Between 1946 and 1991, he was principal bassoonist with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. He began playing the bassoon at the age of 12, and at 15 was accepted as a member of the Palestine Opera Orchestra, where he played between 1941 and 1945.
He appeared as soloist with the Israel Philharmonic and other leading orchestras in Israel and abroad, and in music festivals throughout the world. He founded the "Israel Woodwind Quintet” in 1963 and the Israel Philharmonic Wind Ensemble in 1976. Since 1985 and for many years on, he was the musical director and conductor of the Israel Chamber Orchestra Wind Ensemble.
Rechtman has conducted many of Israel’s major orchestras, and many other ensembles. While pursuing his career as a bassoonist, Rechtman has spent much time writing transcriptions and arrangements for varied small and large ensembles. His unique talent as an arranger has been highly acclaimed. His arrangements, published by leading publishing houses, are played and recorded by orchestras and major ensembles all over the world.
