 The Oboe BBoard

Greetings. Been a while since I've been a regular on here. I'm an adult amateur that has been playing oboe for close to 10 years. I started on my journey because I fell in love with an English Horn piece I heard on the radio back in 2004 (Swan of Tuonela).
Fast forward to current times. I was waiting around at the local mall when they started piping a pretty EH & piano piece over their loudspeakers. I attempted to record it on my phone but the recording quality was too poor. Two weeks later I was back at the mall and the piece was playing again. This time I got a slightly cleaner recording by standing under a speaker. There is still a fountain and other background noise, but I think that someone who knows it should be able to recognize it.
I've asked all the oboists and teachers I know and no one recognizes it. I am hoping that someone on here will be able to solve the mystery.
File is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3q9z8rdmecpbh9l/mystery%20piece%20edit.mp3?dl=0
Thank you so much for your time and help!

I listened, and I have no idea. I've not heard it either. Call the mall's general administration department and ask what they're playing...that will get your search started.
It sounds like a contemporary composition to me, on first hearing.

It might be Omaggio a Bellini by Pasculli. It's a difficult work for English horn and harp. http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/omaggio-a-bellini-sheet-music/5121224

It's not Omaggio a Bellini, and I don't think it's Amelia nor the Verdi Pasculli pieces.
It almost sounds very Debussy-like? Any French impressionist pieces for English horn that anyone can think of?

Fauré? I'd expand my search to a possible transcription of something for piano and cello. Sounds a lot like (but isn't) Après un Rêve.

Greetings again!
I have identified the piece!!
Leland A. Cossart: Fuenf Vortragsstuecke op. 23 - IV. Liebesgedicht: Andante Quasi Adagio
There is a 2005 recording of it by Albrecht Mayer (possibly on d'amore?) and Markus Becker.
Thank you all for your help! Now off to see if I can find the sheet music :D

That's too bad, Chris. What they didn't say is "...not available in the UK." It's lovely, and eight tracks of the CD play on YouTube here in the US.
While the album seems to consist mostly of German Romantics, from the little I was able to find online, Leland Albert Cossart (1877-1965) was German but studied in France. Explains the style throwing us off track. Appears to have written mostly for solo oboe, d'amore, and cor, with both piano and woodwind ensemble accompaniment.
Good luck in your search for the score, Hilda. I found other Cossart works on sheet music download sites, but not this one.
