sound:

David J Smith was organ scholar at St Peter's College and Wadham College, Oxford, where he completed his doctorate on the instrumental music of Peter Philips (1560/61-1628). He became Assistant Director of Music at the University of Aberdeen in 1994, where he is currently Head of Music. David is an organist, harpsichordist, recorder player and accompanist. As a performer, David specialises in early keyboard music from England and the Netherlands, and in improvisation: "David J. Smith is renowned for his improvisations...he gave us a sturdy Prelude and Fugue in the German Baroque style and ... he brought the recital to a close with a Toccata-like modern piece, full of wonderful sharp edges, twists and turns and excellent good humour."
