Jonathan Powell

Jonathan Powell is a British pianist known for his virtuosic performances and recordings, particularly of technically demanding and complex 20th-century works. He's a champion of lesser-known composers like Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji, whose notoriously difficult music forms a significant part of his repertoire. Powell has also recorded works by other neglected composers, alongside more standard repertoire, demonstrating a wide range of musical interests and a commitment to exploring the fringes of the piano literature.

Beyond Sorabji, Powell's recordings showcase his versatility, tackling everything from Romantic concertos to contemporary solo piano pieces. He's known for his impressive technical abilities and his insightful interpretations, bringing often-overlooked music to a wider audience. His dedication to these challenging works has earned him critical acclaim and established him as a leading figure in the world of contemporary piano performance.
