Hear why the ACO is known as an orchestra of soloists as the Principals introduce you to a few of their favourite pieces.
“CPE and ACO are synonyms for me,” says Principal Cello Timo-Veikko Valve. “The Cello Concerto is non-stop fireworks.”
“I couldn’t wait to play the Bach Oboe and Violin Concerto when I was a kid,” says guest oboist Diana Doherty. “It seemed impossible then – so many notes! Nowhere to breathe! Years later, I’m still inspired by it.” Doherty also brings us Vaughan Williams’ Oboe Concerto, which she calls “the very essence of English beauty, like gentle dappled sunshine on a wooded path.”
Principal Viola Christopher Moore performs Britten’s “hauntingly beautiful” Lachrymae, reflections on Dowland’s song Flow My Tears.
Matthew Hindson, known for delivering high-octane exhilaration, is rapidly becoming Australia’s most successful young composer internationally. He’s writing a new work for Principal Double Bass Maxime Bibeau.
