Although long identified with bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, with whom he has appeared and recorded to striking effect, Malcolm Martineau has established himself independently among the cream of singers and instrumentalists from the British Isles and beyond. One of a remarkable third generation of accompanists following the great Gerald Moore, Martineau combines a comprehensive technique, unfaltering musicality, and the ability to collaborate at the highest level with artists of widely varying temperaments and approaches. By 2023, when he accompanied bass-baritone Florian Boesch on a recording of Schumann's Dichterliebe, Op. 47, his recording catalog comprised well over 65 items.
