Biography:

Martin Jones has been one of Britain's most highly regarded solo pianists since first coming to international attention in 1968 when he received the Myra Hess Award, the same year he made his London debut at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and his New York debut at Carnegie Hall. Ever since Jones has been in demand for recitals and concerto performances worldwide. A retrospective of his works, on the occasion of his 75th birthday, was released this spring on the Nimbus Recordings label.

Jones is a prolific recording artist and his many discs for Nimbus Records include the complete solo piano works of Mendelssohn, Brahms, Debussy, Grainger, Szymanowski (voted Best Instrumental Recording of 1996 by the Spanish magazine CD Compact, Stravinsky, Korngold and the sonatas of Alan Hoddinott.

The soundtrack of the film “Howards End” features Martin Jones performing Grainger’s “Bridal Lullaby” and “Mock Morris.” His performance repertoire as well as encompassing most of the standard works for piano, also includes unusual concertos such as the “Busoni Concerto,” which he performed with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Norman Del Mar.
