Arranging Raff's Sinfonietta for wind quintet would indeed be a bit of a challenge. In my opinion it can't be done without losing a lot of the original composition. Ditto for the octet and even the sextet. I have done some arranging myself and in my experience the best you can choose are pieces for piano or piano duet. Theodore Gouvy has composed a lot of sonates and other pieces for piano duet and some of them are probably suitable to arrange for wind quintet.

This has become a silly discussion! I sincerely hope it is not the result of UC' s revised remit.

According to IMDb the original music of this TV mini-series was composed by John Keane. Maybe a bit disapointing?

It worked! Thank you so much!

You must download both files before trying to open either one of them. Both files must be in the same folder. Then open the first file and the complete recording will open.

I did what you said, but none of my unpacking programms can handle this. Which programm should I use?

There is a podcast of Dobias' 2nd Symphony available on the Spanish National Radio Radio Clasica in the weekly programm Los Raros, which, by the way,  is a very interesting programm.
See here

..and it has been broadcast before on the Dutch Concerzender;

Karl Höller's  Piano Trio in C minor Op. 34 will be broadcast on Feb. 11 on WDR 3 Klassik Forum at about 10.45 p.m. (German time).

There are quite a few works by Leo Spies on YouTube.
You may find them on the channel of WatchBlueSkies.

Smulders' PC can be heard on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__tPNT50tY4

The Swedish Classical Radio will broadcast Sigurd von Koch's Piano Quintet from 1916 on December 14th in their programm "Klassisk förmiddag" (10.00 - 12.00 am) : http://sverigesradio.se/sida/tabla.aspx?programid=2562&date=2011-12-14
Sigurd was the father of Erland von Koch and, unlike his son, died at young age. His Violin Sonata in E Minor (1913) seems to be his only work that has been recorded.

Latvian,
When I try to download Ivanovs Symphony No. 7 I get an error message. I don't know whether I am the only one who is having this problem. If not, could you repair it? I would love to hear this symphony.

An other performance of Weismann's 2nd Symphony can be heard on Youtube:

In chamber music there are quite a few romantic - more or less unsung - works in which the horn plays a prominent role, often in combination with the clarinet, for instance
- Reinecke: Trio in B flat major Op. 274 (clarinet, horn & piano)
- Kahn: Quintet Op. 54 (clarinet, horn, violin, cello & piano)
- Fibich: Quintet Op. 42 (same combination)
- von Baussnern: Quintet (1905) (ditto)
- Dunhill: Quintet Op. 3
- von Dohnanyi: Sextet Op. 37 (clarinet, horn, violin, viola, cello & piano)
- John Ireland: Sextet (1898) (clarinet, horn, string quartet)
Holbrooke and Tovey composed trio's for the same combination as Brahms's famous Horn Trio Op. 40
Reinecke's Op.188 has the same combination as Herzogenberg's Op. 61

WDR3 will broadcast in a "Feiertagskonzert" on November 1st (10.00- 12.00) the string quartet no. 2  in G minor op. 15 by Fritz Brandt (1880–1949). Cobett only says the quartet met favorable opinions among the German critics. I can't find anything on Brandt on internet. But I have a recording of the quartet - presumably the same as the coming broadcast - and I think it's rather nice.
