The UK’s most iconic baroque quartet Red Priest – hailed in the New York Times as ‘the wildly virtuosic little band’ – returns to the Stables with a thrilling programme of masterworks by Vivaldi, Bach, Telemann and others, presented in its inimitable, high energy style.
The concert culminates in a performance of their uniquely irreverent transcription of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, highlighted by Gramophone Magazine as one of the all-time best recordings of the work, and described in Early Music Magazine as “passionate but criminal, drunken and disorderly, manic and demonic, outrageous yet compulsive…. This stuff is cheaper than cocaine, but there’s no way it should be legal!"
Red Priest are:-
Piers Adams – recorders
Julia Bishop – violin
Angela East – cello
David Wright – harpsichord
