PRIEST ON THE RUN

RED PRIEST

Hear where it all began! Red Priest’s 1998 debut CD immediately established the ensemble as one of the most exciting early music groups in the world, and set the course for the stellar career which was to follow.  No holds were barred in their interpretation of music by Vivaldi, Telemann, Castello, Purcell and others.

"The vivid playing invariably sparks excitement and engagement.... it raises the hair shirt on one’s back.... breathless excitement is guaranteed... (but) for all their aerial Cirque du Soleil vaunting they possess powerful sensitivity." MUSIC WEB 

"The UK's most dynamic, theatrical and outrageously different baroque ensemble…Red Priest has the fire, technical ability and sheer daring to bring it off…brilliant and inspired musicianship." GRAMOPHONE

"This group tears up the carpet, rattles the walls, and certainly will shake up its audience with rousing and original renditions of music by some composers we thought were much less, uh, 'out there'... "  CLASSICS TODAY Read whole review

"Sonically supercharged, played with the intensity of any rock performance... The musicianship is incomparable. Dare to listen, skeptics; see if Red Priest doesn't convert you!"  SWIRLPOP MAGAZINE

"Deeply and genuinely emotive." BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

"The effect is like crossing a Wigmore Hall recital with a Guinness-soaked folk session in an Irish bar…Piers Adams is the standout instrumentalist in this highly competent and infectiously different gang of four." CLASSIC CD
