In 1989 the Australian Chamber Orchestra, already perceived as adventurous, took a chance and appointed a very young violinist, barely known to audiences in Australia and beyond, as its Lead Violin (and later, Artistic Director).

Twenty years on, Richard Tognetti is one of the country's pre-eminent musicians and the ACO has the largest subscriber audience of any chamber orchestra in the world.

"…the playing is extremely stylish…one can't fail to be impressed by the air of buoyancy…captures the excitement the works first caused." Duncan Druce, Gramophone on the Bach
