Wild Men of the Baroque
Advertisement
Piers Adams - recorders
David Wright - harpsichord
"Superhuman virtuosity, a laughing recklessness and a style you can’t buy" (Gramophone)
Co-members of Red Priest, the duo begin in the surreal musical world of the 17th Century: from the earliest sonatas of the Italian school to the bizarre meanderings of Biber, this music never ceases
to amaze the innocent bystander!
Then to the High Baroque with music by Corelli, Handel and others.
With a range of virtuoso techniques and expressive colours they walk boldly through the wild side of the baroque, and, as natural raconteurs, they give fascinating insights into the music and instruments – and some spicy anecdotes about the lives of the composers!
