Review of Vivaldi\'s Four Seasons at Christmas

The Piccadilly Sinfonietta were in concert on December 15th in St Peter Mancroft Church Norwich, performing 'Vivaldi Four Seasons at Christmas'. The candlelit concert was spell-binding in a glorious glowing setting. An excellent programme featuring Pachelbel and Corelli. For me the two high points were firstly, Chopin Piano Concerto no 2 performed with such skill and sensitivity by pianist Warren Mailley-Smith, the founder of the group. Then the pinnacle of the evening, a glorious performance of Vivaldi The Four Seasons with their guest lead violinist the internationally renowned concerto soloist, Harriet Mackenzie. Her performance had a lyrical beauty which was magisterial. The whole concert was amazing and left the audience wanting more and leaving the church with a warm glow to counter the freezing cold night.
