Biography
Not a celebrity conductor, Britain's prolific Martyn Brabbins has rediscovered a striking amount of neglected music and presented it in convincing performances. Early on, he made a significant mark through recordings of contemporary Scottish composers and as one of the main conductors involved in Hyperion's extensive Romantic Piano Concerto series. Brabbins' professional debut came in 1988 as a last-minute substitute with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. From 1994 to 2005, he was the associate conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Brabbins' debut recording came in 1994, on Vol. 7 of the Romantic Composers Series. In 1997, he conducted the first commercial recording of Korngold's Die Kathrin. Brabbins has made more than 150 recordings. In 2023, he issued six recordings once again, one of them a performance of Charles Villiers Stanford's Requiem with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
