Richard Durrant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Durrant is British and a skilled stringed instumentalist, most commonly playing the guitar. He studied at the Royal College of Music and has since performed a mix of all guitar styles - classical, pop, jazz, folk. He also runs the indie acoustic LongMan Records company from his studio in Sussex.
He has composed concert music including his Rucenitsa Guitar Quartet, as well as music for the BBC, is record producer for the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, Don Partridge and Ungagged, and has toured as part of the band Sky and with Herbie Flowers. One of his more challenging performances is a stunning reinterpretation of Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint for soloist and 20 pre-recorded guitars. His concerts are difficult to categorise as he covers many styles and often includes improvisations and electronic treatments--but he is above all a classical virtuoso. His many recordings are widely available.
