International Record Review

Founded by ebullient and virtuoso violinist Elizabeth Wallfisch, The Wallfisch Band is an exciting new international period instrument ensemble, in which hand-picked, gifted young players perform alongside Elizabeth and her distinguished older colleagues.  Here they present a fabulous string programme of virtuosic Christmas-themed concertos by Italian Baroque composers, including the ever-popular 'Christmas Concerto' by Corelli and 'Winter' from Vivaldi's Four Seasons.  There are also some rarer treats by Manfredini, Locatelli and Farina.
