Tognetti/Australian Chamber Orchestra (ABC Classic) Under Richard Tognetti the ACO has established itself as world-class and this 50th anniversary live recording of these two great concertos are a wonderful souvenir of a remarkable groupOver the past quarter of a century the Australian Chamber Orchestra has become a regular visitor to Europe, establishing itself as one of the world’s foremost chamber bands. The group was founded in 1975, and this pairing of perhaps the two greatest violin concertos in the repertory is being released to mark the ACO’s 50th birthday. The soloist and conductor in both works is <a href="https://www.aco.com.au/the-orchestra/musicians/richard-tognetti">Richard Tognetti</a>, who has been the orchestra’s leader and artistic director for the past 35 years.Both recordings are taken from concerts given in Sydney’s City Recital Hall, the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/01/know-the-score-beethoven-where-to-start-with-his-music-250th-anniversary?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other">Beethoven</a> concerto in 2018, the Brahms last February. The close recorded sound very faithfully reproduces the intensely involving approach of the ACO when heard in the flesh, with its amalgam of modern playing techniques with the use of historical instruments (gut strings, period wind). For both concertos the orchestra’s permanent core of 20 players was more than doubled with guest instrumentalists from other Australian orchestras, but the suppleness and coherence of its textures are as persuasive as ever. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/nov/27/beethoven-brahms-violin-concertos-album-review-as-supple-and-coherent-as-ever-as-the-aco-celebrates-50">Continue reading...</a>
