"The playing is spectacular, the music is wonderful." -American Record Guide

"The instruments blended well and balanced perfectly, and the effect was magical. Rachel has a most beautiful sound, and she and Rupert put together a fascinating programme." -Margaret Phillips, Royal College of Music, London

The Gough Duo began performing in 1997 to extend a musical partnership established when Rupert and Rachel were married three years earlier. From their home in the cathedral close in Wells, where Rupert is Assistant Cathedral Organist, the couple travels widely performing in Britain and abroad throughout Europe as well as in North America.

Rachel Gough studied violin from an early age and did post graduate work on scholarship at the Royal College of Music in London, earning a master's degree in Advanced Performance. She teaches at the famous Wells Cathedral School of music while also pursuing a freelance career.

Rupert Gough, in addition to his cathedral duties, enjoys a busy career as recitalist, conductor, and accompanist. He has performed in some twenty commercial recordings.
