Trio in C for 2 oboes & cor anglais, Op.87

[OboeKing]

As an oboe/cor player, I am intrigued by his trio for 2 oboes and cor anglais in C, Op. 87. I've never heard the piece before and was wondering what it sounded like. Does anyone have any sound clips they would be so kind as to upload please? Also, is the sheet music available anywhere in the UK?

Thanks,
Michael.

I've got two recordings of it. We had an mp3 from this piece on the 'Rare Music' page some time ago. The sonority between this unusual blend of instruments is amazing.

Actually the next piece for the Rare page (wind quintet) with be of interest to you as it contains the oboe in a prominant role. I was going to upload it today but forgot my CD. Will have to wait until Monday now.

Op. 87 is gorgeous. I've only played an arrangement for flute, oboe, and clarinet, but it's wonderful. The 2nd movement in particular is ravishing.

Yes, I think this was the movement we had on the Rare page.
