Veteran viol player Richard Boothby, in addition to performing Baroque music, has worked to expand the contemporary repertory for his instruments. In 1984, Boothby founded the Purcell Quartet and then Fretwork in 1985. Both groups flourished, and Fretwork remained active, with Boothby as the sole original member as of the mid-2020s. He recorded almost 50 albums with the Purcell Quartet and more than 40 and counting with Fretwork. In 2016, he released a recording of the complete music for lyra viol of William Lawes. In 2018, he issued a recording of Telemann fantasias, and he returned in 2023 with the album Music to Hear...: Alfonso Ferrabosco, Music for Lyra Viol from 1609.

Richard Boothby has also released music as a member of Fretwork, In Echo, Purcell Quartet, and London Baroque.
