Douglas Boyd is a distinguished conductor and oboist known for his versatile career in classical music. He began his musical journey as an oboist, becoming a founding member and principal oboist of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. His transition to conducting was marked by his studies with renowned conductors such as Sir Colin Davis and Sir Simon Rattle. Boyd has served as the Artistic Director of the Garsington Opera and has held positions with orchestras around the world, including the Manchester Camerata in the UK, where he was Music Director, and the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, where he served as Artistic Director. His repertoire is extensive, covering a wide range of classical works, including those by Mozart and Beethoven, which suggests that he may have indeed conducted albums featuring symphonies and concertos by these composers. 40 & No. 41 'Jupiter'," "Symphonies No.
