Mandolin Mondays #293 w/ Special Guest Julien Martineau

Rate this Entry
Julien Martineau joins us on Mandolin Mondays this week all the way from France to play this stunning performance of Raffaele Calace's Preludio 10, on his powerful bowl back "Martineau" model mandolin built by Canadian luthier Brian N. Dean.



At the age of nineteen Julien Martineau won the Giuseppe Anedda Prize at the 1998 Varazze International Competition in Italy; and in 2002 he gained a Diploma in Musicology (DEA) from the Paris- Sorbonne University. He cares greatly about the future of his instrument, and since 2005 he has taught the mandolin at the Toulouse Conservatoire. In 2013 The Languedoc Academy of Arts, Letters and Science awarded him its Déodat de Séverac Prize.

Julien is a prolific collaborator and has put out a number of amazing records--check out his recent project with Vanessa Bonelli Mosell playing through Beethoven Mandolin Suites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJzHTUZu8lw

    I am not a regular listener of this musical genre, but I was very moved by this performance. Your incredible technical skills and the emotional content of this seven minute journey made a lasting impression. Bravo!

    This is a very moving piece, and clearly well defined by "journey." I enjoyed the ride. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us.

    This was beautiful, and the tone Julien produces has to be one of the best ever pulled from a bowl-back. Bravo, indeed!
