a complex of multiple limestone caves. This chamber is said to be the space with the purest acoustics in the world, offering also a great atmosphere and beauty.
The concerts proved so spectacular, that it was decided to turn the concerts from January 1999 on into a regular monthly event, this time with an extended program of medieval to Romantic music and compositions written especially for the acoustics of the Cathedral Chamber.
Concerts continue regularly to today, thousands of visitors from all over the world came to witness the magnificent experience in this exceptional place.
This CD was recorded in the Cathedral Chamber in July 2000.
The recordings of "Jenolan Ciaconna" (track 3), "Fantasy on Cathedral Cave" (track 7) and Forster's "Poor Maiden me" (track 15) are first and only recordings of these piececs.
Cello concerts are held in 2006 on every 3d Saturday of the month.
(Please see also the CD "Blue Mountains Gypsies" with the "Paganini Duo". The Paganini Duo performs also regular concerts at Jenolan Caves.
