Jonathan Powell (born 1969) is a British pianist and composer that studied under Denis Matthews and Sulamita Aronovsky that is well known for his impeccable virtuosity. Well known for perform works of Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji including the whole of Opus Clavicembalisticum, Powells repertoire is broad and ranges from Bach to many contemporary works (he is associated with composers as varied as Michael Finnissy, John White, Ambrosini, Staud and Sirodeau). He specialises in the late Romantic era, and made his first acquaintance with Sorabji's music, with which he has since become strongly associated, in 1984 through the radio broadcasts of Yonty Solomon and through the scores that were then still published and available through Curwen. He was encouraged to contact the composer, and obtained copies of several later works which he premiered starting in 1990, and has been recording and performing regularly.
