Richard
Skinner. As well as appearing regularly on the concert platform
as an orchestral and chamber music player, the bassoonist Richard Skinner
is to be seen and heard in a large variety of musical manifestations, like
for example as Elvis in Michael Docherty's Dead Elvis at the Salisbury
and Bergamo festivals! He is a member of the chamber ensembles Lontano,
the Matrix Ensemble and the Fibonacci Sequence, and as a soloist he gave
the world première of the bassoon concerto by Josef Horowitz. He
has recently recorded music by Holst (Chandos), Britten (Argo) and Rawsthorne
(ASV).
