Elizabeth Blumenstock is an esteemed baroque violinist renowned for her virtuosity and profound interpretative expertise in the realm of historically informed performance. As a dedicated and passionate advocate for baroque music, Blumenstock has carved out a distinguished career playing with some of the foremost early music ensembles, including the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, where she often appears as a soloist and an orchestral leader. Her mastery of the baroque violin, complemented by her depth of knowledge concerning period instruments and performance practices, has positioned her as a leading figure within the early music community.

Blumenstock's discography highlights her affinity for the works of baroque masters, with significant attention to the solo violin repertoire. Her recent releases include seminal recordings of "Vivaldi: Violin Concertos," where her spirited and nuanced performances shed new light on these celebrated works. Besides Vivaldi, she has explored the compositions of lesser-known baroque composers such as Franz Kohaut and Ludwig Christian Kropfgans, with albums like "Kohaut: Lute Concertos" and "Kropfgans: Lute Concerto / Lute Sonatas / Divertimentos," both ventures increasing the visibility of these composers within the baroque canon. Blumenstock's interpretation of "Bach: 8 Violin Sonatas" stands as a testament to her technical prowess and deep musicality, offering her audiences an emotionally rich and historically contemplative experience of Bach's profound compositions.
