Red Priest's "Red Hot Baroque" - Reviews
_
Putting the rock into baroque... Energetic, spectacular stage act... Invigorating versions of familiar Vivaldi pieces... The difference is clear: Red Priest have much more fun
EVENING STANDARD
BAROQUE STARS… an unorthodox quartet of virtuoso musicians on a mission to make classical music a visual as well as aural experience.... supreme musicians.
THE OBSERVER
Red Priest, an amiable and talented four-piece baroque outfit… [show] just how funky classical musicians can get before they get into bed with Satan and “cross over”.
THE GUARDIAN
Red-hot virtuosic… swirling snowstorms, thunderclaps and the mime of an entire stag hunt is way over the top, but one has a sneaking suspicion that Vivaldi might have approved.
THE TIMES
Musical nights out don't come much wackier than Red Priest's 'Red Hot Baroque'…
The original Red Priest should be dancing in his grave
BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
Red Priest, the baroque quartet led by recorder virtuoso Piers Adams, thinks concert-giving needs to be revolutionised……by memorising scores, the artists certainly generate more verve, as evidenced by their energetic rendering of Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
Sensational ... Completely wild and deeply imaginative… marries the work to the spirit of baroque spectacle and Venetian skulduggery.
MUSIC WEEK
Red Hot Baroque is an amazing amalgam of early music and the latest in technological treats that will be a red hot ticket on the bigger festival circuit in particular – but as their premiere performance revealed, it will also fit nicely into theatre and concert hall programmes too……I’d put my money on it being a winner at the box office.
