Soni Ventorum archives

I've been perusing the archives of the Soni Ventorum wind quintet the
last few days.. there is a lot of recorded material on this site,
including some (at least to me) rarely heard material:

The flutist is Felix Skowronek, a Curtis Institute student of William
Kincaid, and an important proponent of the wooden Boehm flute.

linked from this site is also the quintet on youtube:

I also found a recording of the Karg-Elert Bb sonata by Mr. Skowronek
via the wikipedia article on Karg-Elert. Interesting stuff.
