We’re delighted to welcome our dear friend Martin Roscoe to the 2010 Potton Hall concert series. Our relationship with Martin extends way back to when Jeremy first started working for BBC Radio 3 and Martin was a regular performer in Jeremy’s Pebble Mill lunchtime and evening concert series.The concert to be held on Wednesday 28th July 2010 at 19h30 will include a programme of Beethoven. (see below)
Jeremy and Martin soon realised they have much in common, including hill walking, enjoying real ale, good food and good wine and many a happy time has been spent together pursuing their hobbies!
Over the years they’ve collaborated on many recording projects and since we came to Potton Hall, Martin has frequently recorded in the studio as a soloist and as part of many chamber music projects.
Leading up to the concert, Martin will be recording his latest disc as part of his Beethoven series on the Deux-Elles label.
His recording of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas under the Deux-Elles label received the following response from the press:
“…Coloured perhaps by a personal fondness for Op 10, I think Roscoe’s way with them is nigh-on perfect, lightly pedalled, full of a youthful vitality and impudence … a refined pianist with the wisdom of experience…”
Jeremy Nicholas, The Gramophone, June 2010
“…Roscoe is assured in his shaping of the music, and there is a confident and unvarnished dynamism that reveals a pianist at the top of his game … Roscoe brings panache, sensitivity and relish to the task, finding pathos, humour and exuberance…”
Colin Anderson, International Piano, May/June 2010
