The Australian Chamber Orchestra is not the only group designated a chamber orchestra to play Brahms' symphonies; the Scottish Chamber Orchestra has issued well-known performances. This 2022 release showcases not the core Australian Chamber Orchestra group of 17 musicians but a bulked-up ensemble of about 50 players, on the small side but likely in keeping with ensembles Brahms himself might have heard, at least outside Vienna. These are live performances from 2013 and 2015, one from Sydney and one from Melbourne, and very well recorded and mastered together by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation; if the delayed release was occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic, file that under bright sides, for these are distinctive recordings. Conductor Richard Tognetti plays to the strengths of his ensemble, revealing many details in the brass and winds, including a very active low bassoon. Sample the crunching turns the brass make in the finale of the Symphony No. 3 in F minor, Op. 90. Yet Tognetti, a string player himself, keeps the expressive focus on the strings. The connection between small orchestras and dispassionate readings goes out the window here, for Tognetti's Brahms is gutsy and, in some places, closer to Mahler than most other versions. The finale of the Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98, is monumental and implacable. Worth a place on anyone's Brahms shelf or hard drive.
