“A dazzling virtuoso star.” — BBC Music magazine
“The reigning recorder virtuoso in the world today.” — Washington Post
Piers Adams is widely regarded as one of the greatest recorder players of our
time. He has worked tirelessly to develop the recorder’s reputation as a serious
solo instrument, in particular through his research into forgotten corners of
the instrument’s repertoire and his numerous arrangements and transcriptions
from a wide range of genres. In 1997 Piers founded his now world-renowned
baroque quartet Red Priest, with whom he has toured the globe several times,
performing over 1,000 concerts on four continents in some of the most
prestigious music festivals. The group has appeared frequently on TV and
radio—including hour-long televised features on LWT’s The South Bank Show
(UK)—and recorded several acclaimed discs for Red Priest Recordings.

Ensemble Guidantus
TESSARINI: Violin Concertos, Op. 1 (12)
The first half of the 18 th century was largely dominated by the innovative genius
of Antonio Vivaldi, but one of his most talented younger contemporaries was
Carlo Tessarini. His complete 12 Concertos, Op. 1, are presented here in their
first modern recording.
