Flutist Jan Boland, violinist Miera Kim, violists Lisa Ponton & Beth Hoffman and cellist Carey Bostian read from the original 19th-century edition discovered by Jan Boland during a sleuthing mission to the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Although little known today, Kummer was considered a master composer by his contemporaries and his fine craftsmanship with melody and harmony are on full display in this little-known Flute Quintet, which uses two violas instead of the two violins traditionally used in string quartets.
