Joseph Spooner’s diverse career has taken him across the UK, from the Baltic to the Atlantic, and from the recording studio to concert platforms in Continental Europe, Russia, New York, Mexico, and New Zealand. Notable chamber music collaborators have included David Owen Norris and Madeleine Mitchell. Spooner’s delving into the repertoire has led to the recovery of unjustly neglected works, and his efforts have been praised by International Record Review, Gramophone and The Strad.

Recent years have seen the release of further recordings on various labels, including Rawsthorne’s Cello Sonata, Hesketh’s IMMH, Sea-Croon (an album of previously unexplored 1920s English music), and Sherwood’s Double Concerto (with the BBC Concert Orchestra and Rupert Marshall-Luck). Spooner was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music in 2012 and is proud to be the dedicatee of works by Alwynne Pritchard, Errollyn Wallen and Martin Read. His instrument was made by Nicolas Vuillaume in c. 1865.
