There, he taught the Figlie di Coro (“Daughters of Music”) the violin and the viola all’inglese. Vivaldi was a maestro (master) of violin and later maestro of concerts at the Ospedale della Pietà. Who was Vivaldi the educator? What and how did he teach? It is a power, not an obligation the only obligation a priest has is to say the Divine Office daily, which he did, as Goldoni attests. What people do not understand is that a priest is not obliged to say Mass daily. Later, as we know, he had to give up saying Mass due to his illness. This also is a sign that he was a very serious and spiritual man who took his faith very seriously at this early age of his life. combines profound musicianship with an extrovert but never domineering virtuoso personality, and a technique which every so often defies belief.Another thing worth noting is that when Vivaldi was studying for the priesthood, of all the candidates who took holy orders with him, in all of the seven passages to the priesthood, four minor orders and three major orders, he was the only one to finish in the 10-year period. "The most remarkable ambassador for the recorder I have ever heard. a mature and charismatic performer.” Concerto Recording of the Year 1989 - WHICH CD MAGAZINE
“ Piers Adams is one of the brightest of the rising stars.
The recorder playing combines profound musicianship with an extrovert but never domineering musical personality and a technique which every so often defies belief.” CD REVIEW might serve as an example of ‘How To Record Baroque Concerti’. The Handel sonatas provide an elegant foil. The unadulterated virtuosity of the Vivaldi is undimmed across the decades, as a youthful Adams proved himself more than a match for the very best players of the day, bringing his own individual sparkle to these monumental works and earning multiple awards from the music press. A superb double album featuring the cornerstones of the recorder’s baroque repertoire, performed by Piers Adams in his 1989 debut recordings, which still compel today.
