Rupert Marshall-Luck’s handsome tone and laser-like
tuning are remarkable in themselves.
BBC M U SI C M AG AZ I N E
Marshall-Luck is an ideal interpreter: generously but not
effusively lyrical; agile and athletic.
TH E STR AD
His technique and intonation are flawless, and each work
is projected with knowing sensitivity and communicative
expression.
FAN FAR E
We should never take the redoubtable Rupert MarshallLuck for granted. Here is a man who continues to
introduce us to works that the years have discarded and
trodden down. He brings them to us not as something
fusty and dusty but as precious and joyous. His many
discs leave us in no doubt of his great artistry and
advocacy. It’s an extraordinary heritage that he is laying
down.

| BIOGRAPHY
Hailed by ‘BBC Music Magazine’ for his “handsome tone and
laser-like tuning”, and acclaimed by audiences and critics alike
for the verve, commitment and intelligence of his performances,
Rupert Marshall-Luck appears as soloist and recitalist at major
festivals and venues throughout the UK as well as in France,
Germany, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland, Switzerland
and the USA. His extensive discography includes many World
Première recordings as well as conspectuses of the complete
music for violin and piano of Herbert Howells and C. Hubert H.
Parry; and his solo performances have been frequently
broadcast on BBC Radio 3, ABC Classic FM (Australia), RTÉ
(Ireland), SABC (South Africa), Radio Suisse Romande
(Switzerland), and in Canada, France, New Zealand and the USA.
Future plans include the World Première performance of Percy
Sherwood’s Concerto for Violin and Cello with Joseph Spooner
and the conductor John Andrews; a recording of the same work
with Spooner and Andrews and the BBC Concert Orchestra; and
the first performance of the Violin Concerto by Paul Carr. He
appears on a disc of new works with the BBC Concert Orchestra
alongside the pianist David Owen Norris and the baritone
Roderick Williams: the recording is scheduled for release later
in 2016; while in 2017 he will be recording works for solo violin
and for violin and piano by Andrew Downes and the solo-violin
music of Graham Whettam.
Rupert’s recordings have attracted glowing critical acclaim from the international musical press, including ‘BBC
Music Magazine’, ‘Fanfare’, ‘Gramophone’, ‘International Record Review’, ‘MusicWeb International’ and ‘The Strad’.
Among recent discs, his double-disc set of the complete works for violin and piano by Herbert Howells for
EM Records (EMR CD019–20) was named as ‘Recording of the Month’ by ‘MusicWeb International’; whilst
‘International Record Review’ also commended the set: “We have music of distinction and performances to match.
A decisive view of how the structures must knit together and considerable mental stamina from both players are
firmly implanted into the performances”. His recording of Stanford’s Violin Concerto no.2 and Robin Milford’s Violin
Concerto, with the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Owain Arwel Hughes, was hailed by ‘Gramophone’ for its
“dashingly committed treatment”; and ‘The Strad’ stated: “Rupert Marshall-Luck is an ideal interpreter: generously
but not effusively lyrical; agile and athletic”. A disc of John Pickard’s chamber music for Toccata Classics
(TOCC 0150) was also praised by ‘Fanfare’, being highlighted as “a compact disc not to be missed”; and
‘International Record Review’ commented: “Rupert Marshall-Luck proves as adept in an overtly contemporary idiom
as in those of the early twentieth century with which he is most associated”.
As well as his busy schedule as a soloist and chamber musician, Rupert is active as a writer and speaker on the
performing aspects of music, and he has presented lecture-recitals, seminars and masterclasses at the Universities
of Bristol, Cambridge and Oxford, at Birmingham Conservatoire and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama,
and at University College London; he has been invited to give a guest lecture at the Royal Academy of Music, London,
in October 2016. His radio broadcasts include several appearances on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ and a programme
for Radio 4’s series ‘Tales from the Stave’. He is General Editor of EM Publishing, which issues scholarly-critical
editions of hitherto-unpublished works by British composers; and he has edited a number of works for performance
and recording, including Violin Sonatas by Bantock, Bliss, Gurney, Sacheverell Coke and Walford Davies. His edition
of Elgar’s popular salon piece ‘Salut d’Amour’, which includes the first issue of Elgar’s own version for cello and
piano, was recently published by G. Henle Verlag of Munich; for the same publisher, he is currently working on a
series of editions which together will comprise the complete violin music of Elgar.

| REVIEWS
The performances are as satisfying and as confidently magisterial as the recording quality, which never misses a
beat in its clarity and strength. We should never take the redoubtable Rupert Marshall-Luck for granted. Here is a
man who continues to introduce us to works that the years have discarded and trodden down. He brings them to
us not as something fusty and dusty but as precious and joyous. His work at the EMF in this and previous years
and his many previous discs leave us in no doubt of his great artistry and advocacy. It’s an extraordinary heritage
that he is laying down.
ROB BARNETT | MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL
TWO REDISCOVERED ENGLISH CONCERTOS GIVEN IDEAL INTERPRETATIVE ADVOCACY
Rupert Marshall-Luck is an ideal interpreter [of Stanford’s second Violin Concerto]: generously but not effusively
lyrical; agile and athletic... The warm, folksong-like slow movement is at times almost painfully beautiful...
If this work is a worthy discovery, another première recording – of the Violin Concerto by Robin Milford – is even
more of a surprise: attractive, unmistakeably English, but with touches of darkness and chromatic harmony in the
slow movement and some bold gestures in the finale, not least its sombre ending. Marshall-Luck is, again,
indefatigable.
EDWARD BHESANIA | THE STRAD
Milford’s idiom has a lean purity, plus a flair for long-spun, yet beautifully focused melodic line. All this is conveyed
with much loveliness by Rupert Marshall-Luck, whose handsome tone and laser-like tuning are remarkable in
themselves.
MALCOLM HAYES | BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
[The Milford Concerto] is so beautifully written throughout, so imaginitively balanced and at times so endearingly
attractive that one can but thank EM Records and these musicians for their enterprise in bringing it to life. Rupert
Marshall-Luck gives very convincing performances throughout (the cadenza of the first movement in particular is
outstandingly well played) and Owain Arwel Hughes and the excellent BBC Concert Orchestra provide a splendid
partnership. Don’t miss this one.
ROBERT MATTHEW-WALKER | INTERNATIONAL RECORD REVIEW
The recorded sound is splendidly generous, while Marshall-Luck and Rickard evince a real sympathy for this music
in heartfelt interpretations that give voice to Howells’ personal and much under-rated genius for chamber music.
JEREMY DIBBLE | GRAMOPHONE
With great pleasure I have been listening to this two-CD set from EM Records... We have music of distinction and
performances to match. A decisive view of how the structures must knit together... and considerable mental stamina
from both players... are firmly implanted into the performances, and the passionate, lyrical dimension of this work
[the B minor Sonata] comes over with natural candour... There is just the right amount of flexibility in the approach...
and a velvety warmth to Marshall-Luck’s sound in the lower register. [These recordings] show this duo on
magnificent form.
MARK TANNER | INTERNATIONAL RECORD REVIEW
Rupert Marshall-Luck’s account glows with fervour.
DAVID DENTON | THE STRAD
This CD is a winner all around: The performances are first-rate, and violinist Rupert Marshall-Luck does double
duty equally convincingly on the viola in the Chaconne. Recorded sound is clear and musical, and presents both the
music and the performances in the best possible light. This is simply a compact disc not to be missed.
