Ten out of ten for eight out of twelve of Vivaldi's scintillating Estro armonico concertos.
Tafelmusik Baroque and guest artist Elizabeth Wallfisch have all the energy one has come to expect in top-notch Vivaldi, but also real warmth to their playing. Also a delightful relaxed quality. The music is never rushed, though there's no lack of propulsion. They all just seem to be taking the time to relish the experience. -- Gramophone [2/2008]

"Great energy derived from crisp articulation…Tafelmusik’s 13 strings, impeccably in tune, create a taut ensemble while slow movements are treated to beautifully expressive playing…an irresistible buy.” -- BBC Music Magazine. 2008
