Two reasons (out of many) to be grateful for the presence of Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra in our local live and recorded music scene are made as crystal clear as their interpretations with the release this month of Farrenc & Eberl, the orchestra’s fifth album.
Firstly, this group of Historically Informed Performance (HIP) experts, period instrument artists, researchers and mentors…brings us seldom-performed works by composers from their focus eras.
Also, we are thankful that recordings released have been predominantly from concerts recorded live on tour, with a cast of local and overseas HIP players. In this way the electricity of the events in which unearthed works were heard shifts effectively to exciting first-time recordings in Australia.
This recording is one to cherish…enlightening, dynamic, elevated and authentic.
