Antonio Vivaldi's "Spring" Allegro Performed by Red Priest


Because I'm happy Spring has finally arrived more than month late after what has seemed to have been an extended Winter. I agree with the commenters that this performance by Red Priest*, "the only early music group in the world to have been compared in the press to the Rolling Stones, Jackson Pollock, the Marx Brothers, Spike Jones and the Cirque du Soleil," is probably "like it sounded inside Vivaldi's head" and "how it was supposed to sound."

*Antonio Vivaldi "was nicknamed il Prete Rosso ('The Red Priest')."
