ACO – Chopin & Mendelssohn’s Octet
Polina Leschenko

Melbourne VIC 3000
Combining sparkling vrtuosity with tender lyricism, Chopins First Piano Concerto is an ideal vehicle for the unique talents of Polina Leschenko. Although Górecki is best known for his haunting and heartfelt Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, his Piano Concerto bristles with driving rhythms and energy.
Mendelssohn's Octet is a staple of the ACO's repertoire, its carefree exuberance belying its fiendish technical intricacies.
"The enthusiasm and tightness of the ACO was nowhere better shown than in the Mendelssohn with its joyful, sweeping opening movement, quicksilver scherzo and romping closing figure." Cumberland Newspapers.
"Eight players from the orchestra revelled in the musical high jinks of Mendelssohn's Octet." Adelaide Advertiser
