Martin James Bartlettpossesses a fearless technique and plays with a maturity and elegance far beyond his years. His second album, Rhapsody received 5* star reviews and was Gramophone Editor’s Choice.
‘Everything works to illuminate the music.’
The Times, 5 Stars, June 2019
Film and TV buffs might recognise some of the music in this concerto as the first movement was used in Series 1 of the television series Mr. Robot.
The movement also features in the 1984 film Amadeuswhen Mozart is stumbling home after an evening with Emanual Schikaneder composing the score of his opera The Magic Flute. The Second movement also appears in the final scene and during the end credits.
‘Martin James Bartlett brought maximum feeling to the music and played with astonishing delicacy and punch.’
The Daily Telegraph
Either side of the Mozart is a fantastic overture by Beethoven and one of the most-loved orchestral symphonies by Dvorak.
