  • Recital with Elīna Garanča

    Festival d’Aix-en-Provence 2024
    Jul 2024

    • With the amazing playing of Martineau, I was ecstatic when they performed Brahms’ “Von ewiger Liebe.” Their rendition of Strauss’s “Berfreit” had one of the best exclamations of sorrowful joy in the final “O Glück!” And their “Ne poy, krasavitsa, pri mne” was extraordinary, especially Martineau’s amazing playing of the piano introduction. Certainly, a fine recital to see where Garanča and Martineau’s musicianship fully blossomed.

    • Les romances se colorent de nuances variées, mais toujours vivaces qui requièrent l’abattage certain du pianiste. Occasion pour Malcolm Martineau de briller, lui dont le regard oscille en permanence entre ses partitions et la mezzo qu’il semble ne jamais quitter des yeux. The romances are coloured by a variety of nuances, but always lively, requiring the pianist's undoubted skill. This is an opportunity for Malcolm Martineau to shine, his gaze constantly oscillating between his scores and the mezzo he never seems to take his eyes off.
