RED PRIEST
DOR-93208 Cover

Antonio Vivaldi, the Red Priest of Venice, was once described as a man with "too much mercury in his constitution". Perhaps the author of this damning indictment, writing at a time when musical tastes were swinging away from Baroque extravagance towards cool classicism, was unaware of the fantastic, fiery origins from which the flamboyant priest's music had spung.
