Australian Chamber Orchestra – Tognetti. Mendelssohn. Bach.

Sparks fly and melodies soar when Richard Tognetti directs music close to the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s heart.

Mendelssohn’s music is pure pleasure. One of the great prodigies, he wrote his Sunny Octet at just 16 years of age. It’s one of the most loved pieces of chamber music ever written and a favourite of the Australian Chamber Orchestra. In their hands, its youthful exuberance just about leaps off the stage.
