RAY STILL is acknowledged to be one of the greatest living performers on his instrument. His teachers were Philip Melomi, Fernand Gillet, Bruno Labate and Robert Bloom. The great Henri de Busser was a profound influence in early years.
He was principal oboe with the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Baltimore Symphony, then was principal and soloist with the Chicago Symphony under Fritz Reiner, Sir Georg Solti, and Carlo Maria Giulini. Among his many solo appearances with the Chicago Symphony, Mr. Still has given performances of the Strauss Concerto, Bach Double Concerto and Mozart Concerto.
He has played with the Juilliard, Vermeer, and Fine Arts Quartets among many others. His many solo recordings include Quartets for Oboe and Strings with fellow artists Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman and Lynn Harrell, Schumann Romances for oboe and piano with John Perry, and the Bach Wedding Cantata with Kathleen Battle, James Levine and the CSO strings. One of the records of which he is most proud includes the g minor Bach Sonata with his elder son, Thomas, playing the harpsichord.
