Beethoven & Brahms Concertos for Violin and Orchestra (2CD)
On the occasion of their 50th anniversary, the Australian Chamber Orchestra presents a landmark new album that celebrates the orchestraâs remarkable legacy while also honouring Artistic Director Richard Tognettiâs extraordinary 35 years of leadership: the violin concertos of Beethoven and Brahms, with Tognetti himself as soloist. These works, now pillars of the repertoire, were once radical and new; this recording invites us to reconnect with that sense of first hearing â to imagine being present at the premiere, when the ink was still fresh and the ideas still raw.
