Paul Goodwin (Conductor, Oboe)

Born: England

The English conductor and oboist Paul Goodwin, regarded as the foremost baroque oboist of his generation, is now firmly establshed as a conductor who brings all of his background expertise to a wide range of repertoire.

He has made more than 20 solo and concerto recordings and was soloist with many of Europe's finest early music groups. Goodwin's experience as an oboist helps bring lyricism, phrasing, and architecture to his conducting.

Goodwin's principal conducting posts are as associate conductor of the Academy of Ancient Music (appointed by founder Christopher Hogwood in 1996) and principal guest conductor of the English Chamber Orchestra. Notable successes with the orchestra have included performances of Mozart's much neglected singspiel Zaide at the Covent Garden Festival and in France and Spain, tours of Schütz and Monteverdi, the Mozart Requiem at the Montreux and Zürich Festivals, and his conducting debut at the BBC Proms in a program of Händel, Haydn, and John Tavener.

A personal note (by Galina Kolomietz): the dynamic qualities of Paul Goodwin's style of conducting were particularly impressive in the performances of Bach's St Matthew Passion (BWV 244), staged by Jonathan Miller at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
