Here is a genuinely imaginative charity record, a download of which would make an excellent virtual stocking-filler. Violinist Matthew Trusler and pianist Ashley Wass have put together Wonderland to raise money for a children’s hospice, via the foundation set up in 2008 in memory of Trusler’s newborn son. Thirteen composers have each contributed a new piece to correspond with a chapter of Alice in Wonderland, linked by Louis de Bernières’s new narration, which is delivered with delicious dryness by Maureen Lipman.

The composers offer quite a cross-section of today’s scene, but the easy tunesmiths are outnumbered by edgier offerings from, among others, Stuart MacRae, Sally Beamish, Augusta Read Thomas and Poul Ruders. Stephen Hough’s Mad Hatter piece has crazed snatches of Tea for Two colliding with the Brahms lullaby; Richard Dubugnon’s dreamy meditation on the Queen’s Croquet Ground is followed by a ghostly helping of Mock Turtle Soup from violinist-composer Ilya Gringolts.
