Carion, one of the most celebrated wind quintets in the world, returns to Odradek with its own take on Terry Riley’s legendary In C, plus a new recording of a work for which the group has won much acclaim: Nielsen’s Wind Quintet, re-recorded in 2022 to coincide with the work’s centenary. ‘In C’ also alludes both to the name Carion and to their home of Copenhagen. The release is completed by Mozart’s Divertimento No. 1, the world-premiere recording of Renāte Stivriņa’s A Cycle of Miniatures, ‘A Man Without a Country’, dedicated to Carion, and a new arrangement of the ancient Danish song Drømte mig en drøm i nat – the oldest notated Danish tune – made by the quintet’s horn player, David M.A.P. Palmquist.
