There is something monumental about John Mark Ainsley’s Beethoven. Iain Burnside’s fluid playing is delightful, while Ainsley’s artistry is fascinating."

The Independent - July 2009

Tenor John Mark Ainsley is already recognized as one of the most exciting talents around. I have seen him on the opera stage singing everything from Schubert to Henze, and here in an all-Beethoven programme he shows a masculine intensity that, particularly in ‘Abenstern’, proclaim loud ad clear that we have a first-class Florestan in the making. We get ‘Adelaide’ and An die ferne Geliebte here, among lesser-known works, all sung with a total vocal and emotional commitment. A riveting singer.

Opera Now - July 2009

John Mark Ainsley’s instinctive musicianship at its best, perhaps, in ‘An Die Ferne Geliebte’, ‘To A Distant Beloved’, or as the poetic translation in the booklet would have it,’ To My Dear Girl, So Far Away’. "
