About

In this recording, Ramée presents two pieces of early romantic music for wind ensemble. Spohr's Nonet of 1813 is the first written for this particular combination of instruments and makes conscious use of the distinctive qualities and idiosyncrasies of each.

Onslow's Nonet (recorded for the first time on historical instruments) is startling from the very first bar! The force and volume of his opening declamation, the virtuosity of the violin's first flourishes, and the enormous range in each of the parts, give the piece a distinctly 'modern' feel. By comparison with Spohr's nonet, this piece is the child of a different Zeitgeist.
