Description
At Nimbus there was a dynamic change in 1974 when the entire operation moved from Birmingham to Monmouth and there built a small LP factory. The first releases came out in 1977, among them Martin's 1973 recording of Rachmaninoff's Corelli Variations and Moments musicaux, Op. 16. Then another very long silence, until 1978/79 when Martin was invited back to complete the outstanding pieces of Mendelssohn. In 1980 he delivered this recital of Busoni pieces. Happily, the relationship between Nimbus and Martin survived silences and early disappointments. The long-awaited Mendelssohn project was finally issued on six CDs in 1988. By that time Martin had become one of the most regular visitors to the studio, as the large discography included here will testify. c Adrian Farmer
