While Red Priest may sound like the name of a heavy-metal band, it is, in fact, a British Baroque ensemble of four talented classical musicians, folks who take a good deal of pleasure playing period music on period instruments in their own uniquely flashy yet dazzling way. On the present recording the members are Piers Adams, recorder; Julia Bishop, violin; Angela East, cello; and David Wright, harpsichord. As a measure of their typically irreverent, tongue-in-cheek style, the group, which formed in 1997, took their name from the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, nicknamed "The Red Priest" because he was a priest with red hair. The fact that the name should also remind listeners of Judas Priest is part of the fun.
Handel in the Wind marks the group's sixth album together (members have also released albums separately), and it represents their usual playfulness in reinventing the classics. However, I must note that despite their sometimes overzealous pursuit of giving old tunes new meaning, they really do little harm to the originals. Here, Handel remains Handel no matter how unusual the arrangements or cheeky the performances.
Indeed, their reimaginings may win new fans for the old masters. As the group write in a booklet note: "Although Handel might raise an eyebrow if he were to hear our more far-fetched transcriptions, he was no stranger to the concept of arrangement in general–and clearly he knew a good tune when he heard (or wrote) one, shamelessly re-adapting his own material for different contexts. In fact, the very idea of attempting to perform music exactly as the composer would have done (upon which concept the entire edifice of 'authentic performance' is built) is historically invalid; in baroque times the personal whim and creativity of the performer was paramount. And thus this recording came into being, and the Lord saw that it was good."–John J. Puccio
