Wilma & Friends present a sensational program of string quintet works by Bruckner, Mozart and Nielson. The ravishing timbre of two violas brings a richness and complexity to the sound scape showcased beautifully in this program.

Viola was Mozart's favourite instrument to play so it's no wonder he wrote his brilliant string quintets featuring two violas. The D major one is full of the brightness and brilliance of that key and keeps everybody busy. It's flanked by two unfamiliar beauties for the same instrumentation, the short intermezzo by Bruckner, like Mahler, more known for his monumental symphonies, and the only string quintet by Denmark's most celebrated composer, Carl Nielson, only 23 when he wrote it. This fine work was never published in his lifetime, which may explain its relative neglect.
