Review of Recorders: You Don't Know Them like This...

Not only is this piece informational but it is also very pleasant to listen to. These educated musicians travel to perform for audiences all over the world - playing the recorder. The recorder isn't typically thought of as a respected instrument with an exciting repertoire. However, this group has creatively arranged music from as early as the Renaissance to music that is being written for them today in an entertaining and informational performance.

A very active piece, including listening to various recorder performances, hearing comments made by the performers themselves, as well as succinct narration - all leaving the listener curious and hoping to hear more.

As one of the group members says, it isn't how you think about the music, but how it makes you feel that is important.
