Australian Chamber Orchestra reviewed by Boston Globe

David Perkins reviewed Sunday afternoon's performance by the Australian Chamber Orchestra with cellist Pieter Wispelwey for The Boston Globe:



"The afternoon's prize was, in fact, Tchaikovsky's "Souvenir de Florence" suite, written for a string sextet. When played by 18 strings, it becomes a spring torrent of feeling. There was some breathtaking ensemble playing here, as the strings passed along delicate figures, and their deep bowing created a blazing sun in the climactic moments. Among those who gave fine solo turns were violinist Tognetti, violist Carol Cook, and cellist Julian Thompson."
