Arcangelo Corelli’s Christmas Concerto is among his most famous — not only by virtue of its festive Christmas spirit, but because it constitutes one of the most impressive and accomplished examples of the Concerto grosso. Manfredini's late Baroque composition for the Christmas mass foreshadows a future gallantry and sensitivity of expression without sacrificing the sweetness and pleasance of the sound.
