Our Take

John Mark Ainsley and Malcolm Martineau's "French Connections" is a delightful journey through the musical landscapes of Berkeley, Poulenc, Britten, and Heggie.

From the moment Ainsley's vocals hit your ear drums, you know you're in for a treat. His voice carries a sense of elegance and refinement, perfectly complemented by Martineau's impeccable piano accompaniment. It's like listening to a fine French wine being poured into a crystal glass - pure class.

The duo effortlessly navigates through each composer's work, bringing a fresh perspective to familiar pieces and uncovering hidden gems along the way. Berkeley's haunting melodies, Poulenc's whimsical charm, Britten's emotional depth, and Heggie's modern flair all shine brightly in this collection.

Ainsley's vocal range is nothing short of impressive, effortlessly hitting the high notes with precision and grace. Martineau's piano playing is equally impressive, providing the perfect backdrop for Ainsley's soaring vocals.

Overall, "French Connections" is a must-listen for any fan of classical music. It's a masterclass in vocal and piano performance, showcasing the talents of two musicians at the top of their game. So sit back, relax, and let Ainsley and Martineau whisk you away to the charming streets of France with their enchanting music. It's a journey you won't soon forget.
