About

Celebrated British pianist Martin Jones recorded the complete piano music of Jean Roger-Ducasse in 2015 (NI5927, 3CDs). Along with Ravel, Roger-Ducasse joined the composition class of Gabriel Fauré. In 1902 he won the second Grand Prix de Rome with Ravel gaining fourth prize. His style is not impressionist but descends from Chopin and more closely aligns with Fauré.

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 Dame Myra Hess Award. He has made over 90 recordings with Nimbus Records, exploring music that is not often played, including the complete works of 18 composers.
