I hope so, because the next LP on my musical odyssey is David Maslanka's Quintets for Wind 1-3, played by the Bergen Woodwind Quintet.
I don't know much about Maslanka and don't have anything else by him. I bought this CD in Beatties (a now-declining department store) when it got rid of all the books and records, on the grounds that it was a CD by a composer of whom I'd never heard.
He seems to specialise in wind and percussion music, and I'm rather charmed and delighted by this CD. It's neither old-fashioned nor avant-garde, and seems to be playable by non-professionals without too much damage, though the Bergens sound magnificent. Here's Quintet 3.
