Elizabeth Wallfisch undertakes a busy schedule of concerts, recordings
and broadcasts, both as concerto soloist (often directing from the
violin) and as a recitalist in regular performances with cellist
Richard Tunnicliffe and harpsichordist/fortepianist Paul Nicholson. She
regularly leads the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the
Raglan Baroque Players with Nicholas Kraemer and, occasionally, the
London Classical Players under Roger Norrington.
With The Locatelli Trio (now re-named Convivium) she has recorded a
series for Hyperion Records of early Italian violin sonatas. Other
releases include Locatelli Opp 6 and 8, Tartini (two CDs) and Corelli
(double-CD set), Albinoni, and Veracini (triple-CD set) recorded in
association with WDR Cologne; Handel Sonatas Op 1 (with Paul Goodwin,
Lisa Beznosiuk and Rachel Beckett). The Trio has also recorded for
Hyperion's English Orpheus series.
In 1994 Hyperion released the first complete recording for over
thirty years of the Locatelli Violin Concerti Op 3, 'L'Arte del
Violino', performed by Elizabeth Wallfisch with the Raglan Baroque
Players under Nicholas Kraemer. It was voted 'Best Recording: Solo with
Orchestra (17th/18th Century)' by the panel of the Cannes Classical
Awards and the honour was awarded at the 1995 MIDEM conference in
Cannes.

While enjoying the reputation she has earned as a specialist in
'early' violin repertoire, Elizabeth continues to play works from the
later periods, including Spohr's Concerto No 8 for the BBC with the
Ulster Orchestra under Roy Goodman; the Brahms Double Concerto with her
husband, cellist Raphael Wallfisch; the Viotti Concerto No 22 with The
Hanover Band, and the Brahms Violin Concerto with the Orchestra of the
Age of Enlightenment under Sir Charles Mackerras.
Elizabeth Wallfisch makes regular visits to her native
Australia where she has been welcomed as 'Artist in Residence' at
Melbourne University. In 1995 she gave a series of concerts at the
Sydney Art Gallery with The Brandenburg Orchestra of Australia, and
returned in 1996 for performances of Vivaldi's Four Seasons at the
Sydney Opera House and the Melbourne Concert Hall, as well as concerts
with Richard Tunnicliffe and Paul Nicholson, including appearances at
the Melbourne International, the Port Fairy and the Barossa Valley
festivals.
Since 1993 Elizabeth Wallfisch has been a featured soloist and
led the orchestra at the annual Carmel Bach Festival in the USA under
Bruno Weil. Her teaching commitments continue at London's Royal Academy
of Music and she holds the position of Professor of Baroque violin at
the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.
