Colin Booth

English harpsichordist Colin Booth has built 300+ early keyboards, including eight Ottavini.  These tiny Italian instruments produce an incisive, yet sweet, sound. more...

In these two videos, Colin plays an Elizabethan-era work by William Inglot (1544-1621) & then introduces the instrument before playing a 21^st century piece composed by Liz Lane specifically for Ottavino.

A Booth Ottavino features in some of Capriccio's concerts, enthralling & delighting all.  Look out for it once concerts recommence!

Colin Booth receives a terrific review by BBC's 'Record Review' for Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book II.  Performed on a 2016 harpsichord built by Colin after an original by Nicholas Celini, this is an album not to be missed.   Hear Colin perform at Capriccio in June with his Stateside release of M. Mattheson's 'The Melodious Talking Fingers of 1749'.
