Oboe Concerto No.1 in C minor(1936), No.2 in G (1937) according to Wikipedia. No.2 is still 1936 according to worklist @ Trust; Hurd (1993), p.349 has 1937 and in ms. No.1 in C has been recorded at least once. (There are several other concertos by Boughton - for flute & strings (Boosey, 1937), for string orchestra (“4 English Pieces”, ms, 1937), for trumpet & strings (ms, 1943), and possibly a concertante for cello (sketches according to Hurd; 1955). A piano concerto in A-flat (1897-8) is listed as destroyed- Hurd (1993) seems to confirm this.)
