Review: Illuminate

Recorded live at Sydney’s City Recital Hall (Angel Place), Illuminate shines a light on three works by Bruch, Britten, and Tchaikovsky with period string instruments, in what is known as historically informed performance practice.

(In the Tchaikovsky) the orchestral richness, colour and drama is heightened.
