Synopsis

Album Description

A colorful reinvention of Vivaldi's masterpiece, coupled with Corelli's Christmas Concerto! "If you think you know the Seasons, if you've heard it (or played it) far too often to ever want to hear it again--go straight out and buy this recording. Red Priest's performance on this disc is 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." -- Early Music Today "A wholly irreverent and highly enlightened approach to the piece we all love to hate ... Red Priest puts the viva in Vivaldi." -- Strings "A highly creative curiosity and a must-have ... no one else has quite done this with the much-abused Four Seasons." -- American Record Guide "For sheer imagination it's unbeatable." -- BBC Music magazine

CD Reviews

Dreadful...

(1 out of 5 stars)

"It was a painful experience to listen to this disc. What were these musicians thinking? Absolute cornball schlock. Vivaldi's music is twisted and tormented in every way possible. The Corelli too is reduced to contemptuous parody of the original."
