Description: Walmisley and Head wrote their pieces 97 years apart but both are fine examples of the pastoral theme of this album and Godard’s ten-minute song without words is touchingly elegiac, all three works together making up well more than half of the program in timing. Katsuya Watanabe (oboe), Ulugbek Palvanov (piano).
