"I haven’t heard playing from any recent pianist that surpasses Roscoe’s...An
outstanding disc in every way."
BBC Music Magazine, Oct. 2012

The much anticipated 'The Final Trilogy' is Volume 3 of Martin Roscoe's Beethoven piano sonata series.

Following the success of Volumes 1 and 2, we are delighted to present The Final Trilogy – Volume 3 of Martin Roscoe’s complete Beethoven Sonata series, the first complete recordings of Barry Cooper’s new edition, published by ABRSM.

Martin Roscoe is a versatile musician who endeavours always to serve the composer and the music. His enduring popularity and solid reputation are built on a deeply thoughtful musicianship that is allied to an easy rapport with audiences and fellow musicians alike.

Martin is one of the most regularly played pianists on BBC Radio 3 and they highly praised his second disc in this series (Waldstein, DXL 1162) describing is as “one of the truly great recordings of the Waldstein Sonata…perfect musical judgement and a formidable technique from Martin Roscoe”

“These are thoroughly musical performances, with particularly fine accounts of the slow movements… a welcome addition.” Pathetique, Beethoven Sonatas Vol. 1 BBC Music Magazine July 2010"
