Martin Jones

Pianist Martin Jones had been among the most versatile and prolific players on the current scene. He has specialized in, but not restricted himself to, British, Spanish, and Eastern European music. In 1987, Jones made the first recording in what would become a long-lasting association with the Nimbus label, an album of Mendelssohn Piano Sonatas. For many listeners, he may be most familiar, if not most recognized, for his performances on the soundtrack of the film Howard's End. Jones has especially championed modern music of the British Isles, such as that of composer/pianist Alan Richardson, to whom he devoted a five-disc album in 2019. In 2023, Jones released an album of piano-and-orchestra music by Lutyens, Errollyn Wallen, and Elizabeth Maconchy with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
