Alexis Ffrench Vinyl Records
Contemporary composer and pianist Alexis Ffrench reached beyond British classical music's core audience by mixing his classical background with roots and R&B. In a conscious move to dissolve the genre's boundaries Ffrench embraced contemporary styles, modern formats, and performance spaces not commonly associated with classical music. His 2018 single "Bluebird" illustrated his melodic, soulful style often repudiated in the classical world.
