COLIN BOOTH
harpsichordist, harpsichord maker &
founder of Soundboard Records

After initial training as a pianist and organist, he studied with Colin Tilney. He has played in countries from Denmark to South Africa, as soloist, continuo-player, and director. He has given live concerts for Denmark Radio, and recorded incidental music for British Independent Television. He also teaches in his own area of South-West England, and is a regular contributor to the Dartington International Summer School.

In 1991 Colin founded Soundboard Records. The aim of this specialist label was unashamedly to reach a wider audience through his playing. To date, nine CDs of solo harpsichord music have been released.

Classes held at Dartington International Summer School over a decade, have led to a handbook for all players of early repertoire. Did Bach Really Mean That? – deceptive notation in Baroque Keyboard Music, is due for publication by Positif Press of Oxford, during 2008.
