English horn

The English horn issued a plaintive, simple melody, as if trying to evoke older memories of a nearly forgotten time.

Ryan Roberts, on English horn, played with his usual flawless poetry in small yet meaningful solos, especially near the end.

At some recitals he would switch among English horn, oboe d’amore and traditional oboe.

“Nobody else is in my brain but me, which is why some of the things I think about are crazy - I hear oboes and bassoons and English horns,” he told recordcollectormag.com in 2020.

Kathryn Meany Wilson gave a beautiful solo on English horn — tracing the path of a plane through darkness.
