Description: Early and mid-20th century British music often has a strong evocative character, related to nature and an idealized rustic past: no wonder that the oboe, with its plaintive and melancholic tones had a strong appeal to composers of this time. A wonderfully varied collection in which all the characteristics and possibilities of the instruments and musical styles of the period are presented and only the Britten is well-known. Marika Lombardi (oboe), Nathalie Deng (piano).
