VIVALDI

L’Estro Armonico Op. 3

 

Elizabeth Wallfisch - Violin

Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra

 

Vivaldi published his first set of instrumental concertos, L’Estro Armonico in 1709 which established him as a virtuoso violinist and innovative composer.

 

Hailed as “one of the world’s top baroque orchestras” by Gramophone Magazine, Analekta is delighted to present, in conjunction with the world-wide soloist Elizabeth Wallfisch, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra performing these exciting works.

 

“Tafelmusik’s 13 strings, impeccably in tune, create a taut ensemble while slow movements are treated to beautifully expressive playing……Recording, in a warmly resonant Toronto church, is excellent with the stereo spectrum aptly wide for the dialogue between soloists…The two discs are an irresistible buy.” BBC Music Magazine.

 

January 2008, Orchestral Choice of the Month
