Review Notes

At only twenty-two, Will Martin has already packed in a lifetime of paying dues. School musicals, playing piano in bars, waiting tables, corporate entertaining, singing in rock bands and on cruise liners to singing the New Zealand National Anthem in front of a sold out All Blacks crowd – Will has done it all. It has all been a lead up to this - “A New World,” his stunning debut album is an epic collection of classical crossover songs. Recorded with a full orchestra, this selection of songs simultaneously reflects Will’s origins and the scope of his unfaltering ambition. “I think that people today seem to be craving a more sophisticated sound,” says Will. “While not all the songs are from traditional repertoire, they are all orchestral and classical in spirit. Take “Going Home” from Dvorak’s “New World Symphony.” It’s a beautiful piece of classical music, but it has been produced as though it was written this year. It has contemporary textures and rhythms, and includes Maori chants with my voice floating on top.” Well-known songs are also featured, including “Into the West” the theme song from “Lord of the Rings” and Ennio Morricone’s “Cinema Paradiso.” Both have been given an orchestral kick, and contrast with the subtle takes on Nat King Cole’s “Nature Boy” and Maori folk song “Hine e Hine.” Will’s debut album is a testament to his belief in the emotion that classical music evokes in people, and the passion it inspires. This dedicated performer with a contagious enthusiasm for his craft intends to continue telling the beautifully emotive stories of the world’s greatest songwriters, whilst pushing the boundaries of the Classical Crossover genre.
