‘Wonderful tunes brilliantly played by these talented musicians’

Review in Bristol Post of the Quintet’s recital in Bristol Cathedral, August 2013

​

The Quintet is named after the Gloucestershire village of Rockhampton, where we rehearse and played one of our first recitals in 2011.

 

The original lineup was: Sophie Cottrell (oboe), Charlie Tomson (clarinet), Margaret Putin (bassoon), Chris Pople (horn) and myself (flute). Our current incarnation has Emma Tenison (clarinet), Hazel Woods (bassoon) and Mike Lea-Wilson (horn).

 

Here’s how we sound:

 

• Novelette, by Francis Poulenc (1899–1963), arranged by Geoffrey Emerson

​

​

​

​

• Charleston, from Dance Suite, by Norman Hallam (b. 1945)

​

​

​

​

• Ave Verum Corpus, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (KV618), arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen

​

​

​

All recorded live in Clifton Cathedral, Bristol, by Richard Jeffrey-Gray and Sam Foster, June 2019
