Quintet for Oboe and Strings was premiered at a festival in Venice in 1927, by Goossens and the Venetian Quartet. It is a lively, tuneful work which exploits the various tone-colours of the oboe fully, moving froma pastoral-style first movement through to the dance tunes of the final movement. The work has been recorded on numerous occasions - a testament to its lasting popularity.
