Leon Goossens, the supreme English oboist of the twentieth century who inspired works from Elgar, Britten, and many others, performs Arnold Bax's Quintet for Oboe and Strings with a string quartet on NGS 76. The National Gramophonic Society pressed this work specifically because commercial labels would not; this is the first recording of a Bax chamber work and a document of significant importance in English music history.
