In Britain the record of private giving, at least in the post-war years, has been very much less significant. Although nuffield, Wolfson and Robinson donations founded oxbridge colleges, universities outside oxbridge other than east Anglia, which had Sainsbury’s support for its Sainsbury Centre, can boast nothing like the level of philanthropic gifts that remain an important element in the lives of many comparable American universities.

In addition to the recently developed Howarth-Redgate oboe, both recordings also include the lupophon, a recently designed bass oboe. Information about the two new instruments can be found on my website www.21stcenturyoboe.com. Central to the development of a repertoire for the Howarth-Redgate oboe has been collaborative work with composers. The rather arcane knowledge the composer must deal with when writing for the contemporary oboe, and especially a new instrument, is best done in collaboration. Working in this way, however, benefits both composer and oboist, as the composers all contribute to the development of the knowledge of the instrument and challenge the oboist to develop both the sound world and their own technique.
