David Goode is one of the UK’s leading organists. He was organ scholar at King’s College, Cambridge and Sub-Organist at Christ Church, Oxford, and was for 17 years Organist at Eton College. He is now a busy freelance recitalist, accompanist, continuo player and teacher.
He has performed frequently as a soloist at the Proms (including a solo recital in 2006 and being a featured artist in 2011), the Royal Festival Hall (including the re-opening concert in 2014) and Symphony Hall Birmingham, and has toured extensively abroad with concerts throughout Europe, North America, Australia and the Far East. Notable partnerships over the years include the BBCNOW, the BBC Singers and the trumpeter Alison Balsom. His most recent live solo recital for BBC Radio 3 was in 2019.
Amongst many recordings across 30 years, he recently released a much-admired set of the complete organ works of Bach for Signum Records (“This series is notable for the flair, clarity and
spontaneity that Goode brings to this timeless music” Gramophone; ***** 5 Stars BBC Music Magazine). His various Reger recordings have also been warmly received, and more recent projects have included music by John Pickard for BIS (‘magnificently assured and enviably concentrated’, Gramophone) and works by Locklair with the choir of Royal Holloway for Convivium Records.
A distinguished teacher over many years, he was on the jury for the 2017 St Alban’s International Competition. He has composed extensively, with recordings including those by the choir of King’s College, Cambridge; his Blitz Requiem was premiered at St. Paul’s Cathedral in 2013.
