If I'm going to include Brahms's serenade for winds in this series, I have no excuse for not also including Mozart's great serenade for winds, the one known as the Gran Partita. Even though it's blindingly well-known (and the Adagio [19.35] was the subject of a famous scene in the play and movie Amadeus), it's still the absolute masterwork of the wind chamber repertoire, and one of the masterworks of the entire musical repertoire. And here it is in a masterful performance. Enjoy: I already have, several times through, just in the process of fetching it here.
