Ewald:
Brass Quintet No. 1, Op. 5
Brass Quintet No. 3, Op. 7
"Christoph Eschenbach's approach to the Serenade is big and sumptuous...he [hits] the heights of the love theme [in Romeo & Juliet] with aristocractic aplomb and he always reminds you what a fabulously organised symphonic movement this is." (Five Stars BBC Music)
"In Francesca da Rimini Eschenbach and his meticulously prepared band ride the Allegro vivo whirlwind with prodigious skill...[the Ewald quintets] are delectably tuneful and idiomatically crafted morsels, delivered with wonderful poise and very real affection by the Philadelphia's top-flight principals." (Gramophone)
