Benjamin Britten composed his playful Two Insect Pieces for oboe and piano in 1935 for oboist Sylvia Spencer, a fellow Royal College of Music student and a close collaborator. Initially envisioned as the beginning of a five-part suite, these two charming miniatures—“The Grasshopper” and “The Wasp”—offer a vivid early example of the British composers’s gift for musical characterization. This 2022 CMS performance from the Rose Studio features oboist James Austin Smith and pianist Shai Wosner. #bri
