The Australian Chamber Orchestra with Richard Tognetti (Artistic Director and Lead Violin)
and Polina Leschenko (piano). The orchestras three wonderful
heritage violins – a Stradivari, a Guarneri and a Guadagnini - will display
their wares in the Paganini caprices. Chopin's
first piano concerto is a much
loved work full of romantic lyricism and although Górecki is best known for his haunting and heartfelt Symphony of
Sorrowful Songs, his Piano Concerto bristles with driving rhythms and energy.
The concert ends with one of the glories of chamber music - Mendelssohn's
Octet. In White
Hat's experience ACO's performance of this work is the equal of any performance
you are likely to hear anywhere else in the world.
