from the William Waterhouse Memorial Concert performed at the International Double Reed Society Conference in Provo, Utah July 2008. Featuring James Kopp, Richard Moore, and Richard Meek on baroque bassoon, Henry Skolnick on baroque contrabassoon, and Graham Waterhouse on harpsichord.
Further to my earlier comment back in April there was a memorial concert for him at the Wigmore Hall in London and a CD of a recital which he gave at the Royal Northern College of Music was on sale there.

William Waterhouse also recorded with the melos Ensemble the Quintet for Bassoon and Strings by Jean Francaix. A fine and witty performance. He is apparently trying to get as close as possible to a French sound on a Heckel-style instrument. So, it does not sound like Klaus Thunemann but it is eminently suitable for the music. He also broadcast the Skalkottas Sonata Concertante on the BBC many years ago.

@jphilipps89 There's a song cycle he performed in, the Benjamin Britten Nocturne, Op.60. His only solo was for the bassoon sonata by Anton Liste.

William Waterhouse was actually my paternal great-uncle. I always loved his music.

Watching this video made me remember late William Waterhouse. He was a great man. I had met him in Manchester when I was studying in RNCM. Rest in Peace.
