These two products are both selections from the Abbey Road ONE range focussing on pre orchestrated ensemble patches for Woodwinds. So how do the differ?
Articulations:
Wondrous Flutes is more expansive in its included articulations and is one of the only Spitfire libraries to include Mordents in its feature set.
Mordents are fast moving notes between intervals which enable the user to develop fun, fast moving chord shapes. These become more interesting when articulation switching between the different interval types as they create contrasting harmonies.

Instrumentation:
Sparkling Woodwinds features more instruments in the recorded ensemble. This makes the overall sound more dense and less light sounding than Wondrous Flutes. This also occurs as in Wondrous Flutes, the Piccolo is set an octave higher than the Flutes. This provides a more open sound.
Further, as a result of the Piccolo being set an Octave Higher, Wondrous Flutes also has a slightly extended range.
Sparkling Woodwinds features an addition Glockenspiel that can be brought in and out of the sound using a trim control. This allows you to add the "sparkling" element to the sound. A very common orchestration technique used in music such as Harry Potter.
