‘Roscoe is a pianist who both thinks and offers full-blooded playing of breadth and depth. In this country, he is an uncommon creature’ —Daily Telegraph
‘Martin Roscoe performs with tremendous panache and musical sensitivity … [His] control of timbre is utterly magical... a charismatic and witty performance’ — BBC Music Magazine
‘Finesse of colouring … strong rhythmic impulse and lyrical astuteness are qualities that fit the music ideally and allow it to bloom … eloquently expressive’ - Geoffrey Norris, Daily Telegraph
‘Roscoe at his most dazzling, employing a huge dynamic range and changes of mood as swift as they are convincing … Roscoe never miscalculates the voicing of a chord nor smears a colour … It would be difficult to overpraise Roscoe's accomplishment.’ - International Record Review
