Vienna was the centre of 19th century music-making and these three composers were its masters. More, the Clarinet Quintet was Brahms’ supreme achievement in chamber music and Beethoven’s Septet made him a celebrity in the city.

The Septet remained embarrassingly popular throughout Beethoven’s life, more popular than the symphonies and sonatas. Those who follow Richard Tognetti’s artistic vision will understand Beethoven’s view that “art demands of us that we shall not stand still”. Once in a while, though, it’s nice to channel your inner aristocrat and relish tuneful, accomplished music like this and Brahms’ graceful, autumnal Clarinet Quintet. The ACO performs on gut strings joined by outstanding Australian period wind instrumentalists.

First though, you’ll cheer ACO Assistant Leader Satu Vänskä’s show-stopping performance of Schubert’s virtuosic Rondo Brilliante. She’s been playing it since she was a child and describes it as a “fourteen minute roller coaster ride – a challenge well worth facing”.
