Richard TognettiAbout
In the hands of Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, these soaring yet deeply personal works spring to life, revealing new delights at every turn.
For these performances, the ACO has expanded to include the unique colours of wind instruments from Brahms’s own world. The resulting sound, in the words of the Sydney Morning Herald review, was ‘a revelation: superbly blended horns and trumpets without the bright blare of a modern symphonic sound, an agile, liquid tone from flutes and clarinets and a gorgeous warmth in the lower wind and brass, all matched with a string sound with a bold but never harsh attack.’
With a total size of around 50 players, these recordings show the ACO at its fullest strength, well beyond its usual compact forces, yet maintaining its trademark clarity and vitality. This is in line with the Brahms himself, who refused to allow the orchestra to be augmented beyond 48 players for the premiere of his Fourth Symphony.
**** ‘Yet again, the ACO re-animated a glowing masterpiece that many of us thought held no more surprises.’ – Sydney Morning Herald
‘One of the masterpieces of late-19th century music...the ACO’s rendition was intelligent and courageous.’ – The Australian
