Our Take

London's own Piers Adams has taken the recorder world by storm with his latest album, "Shine & Shade - English 20thc Recorder Music". Known for his innovative approach to the instrument, Adams showcases a diverse range of English compositions from the 20th century on this record.

The album kicks off with "Shine", a lively and energetic piece that perfectly captures Adams' dynamic playing style. From the whimsical melodies of Vaughan Williams to the haunting beauty of Britten, each track on "Shine & Shade" takes the listener on a musical journey through the English countryside.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Adams also delves into the darker side of English music with tracks like "Shade", a melancholic and brooding piece that showcases the recorder's versatility in conveying complex emotions. The haunting harmonies and intricate melodies will leave you feeling as though you've stepped into a gothic novel set in the English moors.

Overall, "Shine & Shade" is a masterclass in recorder music, with Adams proving himself to be a true virtuoso of the instrument. Whether you're a seasoned recorder aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to delight and surprise with its mix of light and shadow. So sit back, relax, and let Piers Adams take you on a musical journey through the English countryside.
