He is one of Britain’s most prolific recitalists and one of the most regularly played pianists on BBC Radio 3. He has recorded the complete piano music of Nielsen and Szymanowski and now, recording for the first time, the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas from Barry Cooper’s new edition, published by ABRSM for the Deux-Elles label.

“one of the truly great recordings of the Waldstein Sonata…perfect musical judgement and a formidable technique from Martin Roscoe” Waldstein, DXL 1162, BBC Radio 3

“Coloured perhaps by a personal fondness for Op. 10, I think Roscoe’s way with them is nigh-on perfect” Pathetique, (DXL 1161) , Gramophone Magazine, June 2010

“These are thoroughly musical performances, with particularly fine accounts of the slow movements… a welcome addition.”
Pathetique (DXL 1161), BBC Music Magazine, July 2010
