Our Take

John Turner & The Manchester Chamber Ensemble's latest offering, "The Nostalgic Recorder," is a whimsical journey through time and sound. The album opens with the titular track, a jaunty ode to days gone by, complete with intricate recorder melodies that transport you to a bygone era of powdered wigs and courtly dances.

Turner's expertise on the recorder is immediately evident, as he effortlessly weaves intricate tapestries of sound throughout the album. His technical skill is matched only by the chemistry between him and the talented members of the Manchester Chamber Ensemble, who provide a lush, orchestral backdrop that elevates each track to new heights.

Tracks like "Baroque Dreams" and "Renaissance Rhythms" showcase Turner's versatility as a musician, blending elements of classical and folk music with modern sensibilities. The result is a refreshing and unique take on the traditional recorder sound that is both nostalgic and thoroughly modern.

However, the album is not without its missteps. The track "Medieval Madness" veers a bit too far into novelty territory, with its over-the-top renaissance fair vibes feeling a bit out of place amongst the more sophisticated compositions on the album.

Overall, "The Nostalgic Recorder" is a delightful listen that showcases Turner's talent and the Manchester Chamber Ensemble's impeccable musicianship. It's a must-listen for fans of classical music looking for something a bit different, and a welcome addition to Turner's already impressive discography.
