Right on key : Claire Martin and her 'European Quartet'* at The Stables on Wednesday 1 May 2019 at 8.00 p.m.
Absolutely, but also a fascinating and tight piano trio to back Claire - I call this her European Quartet - and a choice of repertoire that doesn't stick to 'standards', but gives us newly commissioned patter-songs, and many ways in which we regret love or not staying in love !— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) May 31, 2019
From listening at @StablesMK on 1 May, and since to the new album, #UCFF safely and warmly concurs (though it has gravitated towards being a dilettante-style reviewer, i.e. too many enthusiasms, but unfortunately lacking stamina for the hard graft that gets the writing done) :— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) May 14, 2019
Claire is nothing but brilliant, wholly giving herself to music that she loves - whether evoking saké and love-making in rainy Tokyo, giving us a fresh take on 'I'm Not in Love' that brings out the pathos and irony, or the tenderness in 'Broken Wings', or in fiendish patter-songs— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) May 14, 2019
End-notes :
* Thinking, of course, of Keith J.
