October 2024
When it comes to explosively vibrant album-opening chords, it takes some doing to top the Red-Bull-meets-fireworks-show shot of musical adrenalin served up each time by Adrian Chandler and La Serenissima.
August 2024
after being obsessed by the composer and his musical world for more than 30 years, Chandler by now is almost Vivaldi incarnate...The playing style is forthright without being strident, and the notes are dispatched without the quirky additions (folksy improvisations, stamped feet) beloved of free spirits such as Nigel Kennedy.
