He regularly shares insights into his life as a composer. Most recently his experience with the Simphonia of London orchestra, conducted by #JohnWilsonConductor, who recorded his 3rd Symphony for Chandos.

And:
"...markedly eloquent in its expression, with vivid scoring and craftsmanship... the music is utterly compelling, holds the attention with a glue-like grip... this issue is strongly recommended."

There is no doubt that this release and composition mark a major exciting and accessible new direction in contemporary music. Congratulations to Adam on his achievement!

RAVEL, BERKELEY & POUNDS - British Music Society

An odd sort of programme? Well, no. The link is that Berkeley received informal lessons from Ravel and Pounds from Berkeley...

The first two reviews have been full of praise:

"The Pounds work is a revelation and I would buy this disc just for this alone. I am very surprised at what a coherent, heartfelt and beautiful work this is, and why I have not heard of this composer before. I am sure that this work will be performed often... "

Spotlight. Interconnected Composers. Geoff Pearce listens to orchestral music by Ravel, Lennox Berkeley and Adam Pounds

I’m excited to share some news from our conductor, Adam Pounds. Chandos have released a couple of singles(!) ahead of the February release of the Ravel/Berkeley/Pounds CD. This is the 2nd movement of the symphony:

As you will see from the cover they have traced Ravel's influence on Berkeley, whom he taught, and then Berkeley's influence on Adam, who was taught orchestration and composition by him back in the 70s.
