Prague Wind Quintet

The Prague Wind Quintet brings a breath of fresh air to classical chamber music with their vibrant performances of Czech masterpieces and European gems. This talented ensemble, formed by members of leading Czech orchestras like the Czech Philharmonic, has built a reputation for championing works by Central European composers. Their discography shines a spotlight on legends like Leoš Janáček, Bohuslav Martinů, and Kabeláč, while also reviving lesser-known treasures from Rejcha, Flosman, and Kalabis. Whether they’re nailing the folksy charm of Dvořák-inspired arrangements or tackling Prokofiev’s fiery quintets, their chemistry and technical flair make even complex works feel approachable.

When they’re not busy breathing new life into Haydn’s divertimentos or Rimsky-Korsakov’s lush textures, the quintet collaborates with labels like Supraphon to share their love for wind repertoire. Their albums often feel like curated museum exhibits – mixing iconic pieces (we see you, *Romeo and Juliet* excerpts) with quirky discoveries that deserve more attention. Perfect for both classical buffs and newcomers, their music strikes that sweet spot between scholarly respect and pure, playful enjoyment.
