Red Priest - Nightmare in Venice

Lucie Skeaping presents a concert of 'dark' music given by Red Priest at the 2011 Bath International Festival, including works by Vivaldi, Leclair, Purcell, Gluck and Tartini.

Lucie Skeaping presents a concert given by Red Priest at the 2011 Bath International Festival. The theme of the event was "Nightmare in Venice" and featured all sorts of music associated with "the dark side". Quite a lot of baroque composers were fascinated by themes of the 'night' - ghosts, demons, witches and fairies, the strange, the ethereal and the fantastical. This concert was designed to give the audience at Bath's Guildhall a glimpse into some of the more feverish corners of the minds of the baroque masters, and includes music by Vivaldi, Leclair, Purcell, Gluck, Tartini and van Eyck.
