YEARS 1974 - 2014

I never fail to be amazed not only by the world of fine music but by the opportunity we have at Fine Music magazine to speak with an array of musical luminaries. This month we catch up with cellist Sol Gabetta, who is featured on our cover. She will be here this month, along with the Basel Chamber Orchestra, performing a number of dates around the country. They make their Australian debut in these special performances that form part of an exchange that sees the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) reciprocate with concerts in Switzerland in 2016.

With the ACO having such a strong following from their subscribers, Gabetta already knows she can expect sold out performances throughout the tour so getting tickets early is a must. The performance in Sydney is on 29 November.

In this issue, we also talk to some living legends of Australian music and pay homage to those passed, namely Australian composer Roger Smalley (page 7). We also have a special set of programs this month that pay homage to the 150th Anniversary of the birth of composer Sibelius – read more about that on page 12.

We also have interviews with pianist Gerard Willems (page 9); recipients of this year’s Kruger Scholarship and Artists-in-Residence for 2016 (page 4); and soon to depart Artistic Director of The Song Company Roland Peelman (page 5). About to step down after 25 years, Peelman spoke with Fine Music magazine about his time at the helm and the development of his parting legacy - a unique body of work based on the words and works of one of Australia’s most iconic public figures Michael Leunig. You can see The Song Company perform the all-Leunig Song Almanac at a range of venues in NSW from October 30-November 8.

Also, don’t miss out on the Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival taking place from 4-14 November. Now in its fourth year, the festival will bring together a top-notch selection of musicians and composers from home and abroad.

For an idea of ‘What’s On’ in Sydney and surrounds during November, turn to page 14-15. We hope you can get along to some of these events during Spring in Sydney – enjoy.

THE ACO’S UNIQUE ‘EXCHANGE’ PROGRAM With Sol Gabetta and Basel Chamber Orchestra Our shores will be graced by cellist Sol Gabetta and the Basel Chamber Orchestra performing a number of dates around the country in November. They make their Australian debut in these special performances that form part of an exchange that sees the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) reciprocate with concerts in Switzerland in 2016.

Their programs sparkle with music by Holliger, Fauré, Saint-Saëns and Bartók’s vibrant Divertimento, commissioned by impresario and founder of the Basler Kammerorchester, Paul Sacher.

Musician and award-winning recording artist Gabetta, who recently made her debut with the Berlin Philharmonic under Sir Simon Rattle, spoke to Fine Music Magazine ahead of her visit.

Born in Argentina, raised in Europe and based in Basel, fame has come a bit later in life for Gabetta than some musicians. However, she is happy with the timing. For those who hit the big time as teenagers or are promoted as child prodigies, she worries this can be dangerous for them mentally and emotionally, particularly when parents push them into an agency, gruelling tour schedules and a recording contract.

“So often, in 10 years they are finished because they have done everything musically already and they have not had the time to develop themselves as a person. The market is finished with them. What do they do then?”

Mixing with the biggest names around Europe, Gabetta sees clearly that career longevity over the decades usually come to the artists who start later.

In regard to her own childhood, Gabetta started out trying many different instruments and settled on the cello relishing the fact it was a larger instrument than the violin her brother, five years her senior, was playing.

Learning to play by ear via the Suzuki method was the first stage of her learning before moving to a more classical, strict education of a Russian school. She found this mix of training made an extremely solid foundation was the Suzuki style for training the ear and the Russian style in self-discipline and music reading, now she finds she can learn an entire concerto by heart in just two days.

Her parents could see her passion building for the cello and offered huge support. They 2

would drive her to Buenos Aires 800km away once a fortnight for lessons, then shifted the whole family to Europe where she could access the best mentors and teachers.

“There aren’t many parents who would have done that for their children,” she told Credit Suisse.

“They couldn’t give my brother and me much money, but a profound love of music, belief in our talent, and support and solidarity for our professional plans were never in short supply.”

Things really started to accelerate in Gabetta’s career when she won the Crédit Suisse Young Artist Award in 2004 which earned her a debut with the Vienna Philharmonic and Valery Gergiev. Echo Klassic Awards gave her the award for Instrumentalist of the Year in 2007 and three years since then. She’s also won Gramophone Young Artist of the Year Award, Würth-Preis of the Jeunesses Musicales and commendations from both Moscow’s International Tchaikovsky Competition and the ARD International Music Competition in Munich.

Now travelling the world, highly in demand as a premium international concert soloist, speaking six languages tends to come in handy. Gabetta travels with one of the very rare and precious cellos lovingly made by J. B. Guadagnini dating back to 1759. The ultimate perfectionist, she is rarely without it and finds it is hard to leave it alone. “I come back home even if I practised that day, I say, ‘Oh, maybe I should do this passage again.’ or ‘I didn’t practise this as well as I could.’”

Practice, rest, perform!

For Gabetta, preparation is the key. Even with musical works she’s had in her repertoire for 15 years she still finds herself most satisfied when she can spend six hours a day on each of the movements when preparing for a concert.

“If I do that I feel extremely free on the stage.

That’s what I am looking for because then I can concentrate on the music and to connect with the people. If you are fighting with the technical things you cannot concentrate on that. It’s impossible,” said Gabetta.

“Then you’re only trying to play correctly, nicely.

But if you really have this stability you can go to another world. You just bring the people to a dream world. You win when you rehearse.”

Other components for optimal performance include chocolate - “very important for the concentration” - a simplified schedule on the day whenever possible and 1.5- 2 hours’ sleep.

“If I don’t get the sleep I don’t feel I am really there. I cannot sleep every time because, in Europe, you often arrive on the day of the concert and you play. But I always try to organise time to sleep,” said Gabetta.

“I find I am also doing a lot of sport which is making me physically stronger on the stage.”

It takes a lot of energy to keep completely in the present moment and to hold the focus of the audience throughout the evening. This, she says, has been the big discussion amongst soloists in the unending search for the ultimate way to keep an audience enraptured.

“Of course, we are playing in bigger halls but it’s not the solution to always play faster or louder.

You need to pick them up, you need to bring them closer to you,” said Gabetta.

“The strongest moment happens almost never when you play louder. It happens when you are looking for one incredible soft note and you get that everybody wants to listen to this note with you.”

Living the dream As if she hasn’t enough on her calendar throughout the year, this pocket rocket also runs her own music festival in Switzerland which, in June, celebrated its 10th Anniversary.

Aptly named “Solsberg” the title incorporates her own first name, Sol, with the city in which it’s held, Olsberg and the fact it is run annually on Summer Solstice. She’s already putting together the program and artists for 2016.

In summing up her career so far Gabetta says she is extremely satisfied in achieving what she thought could only be a dream when she was a girl.

“I really get to travel around and now I have the most incredible chance to play bigger concerts with the most incredible orchestras. I’ve just come back from Concertgebouw and earlier in the year I got my first chance to play with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Simon Rattle,” said Gabetta.

“When you get the chance to play with one of the five best orchestras in the world, it’s not just because they have a big name but it’s because of the people who are inside. They are incredible musicians… I am so lucky because I am doing what I love.”

Basel Chamber Orchestra

The Grammy Award nominee and Sony recording artist says she has loved working with Richard Tognetti in the past, and has high admiration for the ACO. “I was completely excited by how fine, dedicated and agile they are. For me, they are one of the best chamber orchestras in the world,” said Gabetta.

“I know they’re incredibly famous in Australia but they’re also incredibly famous here (in Europe).

“Not only is the orchestra amazing but... like everywhere in the world you need some locomotive, a leader,” she said, praising Tognetti’s ability in this role.

“In this orchestra you don’t see tension, it may be there but you cannot feel it and somehow I think the positive side of the orchestra is really predominating,” she said.

As part of the exchange with the ACO, Gabetta will be bringing with her the Basel Chamber Orchestra from where she is based in Switzerland, a group with which she has a strong and long-standing relationship.

“I am quite free with them because, even if a new concerto is written for me, like the Vasks Concerto we are bringing with us to Australia [being performed in Melbourne], they are open to doing it. They are incredible but also flexible from Baroque music to modern music,” she said.

Gabetta and the orchestra will visit Canberra, Melbourne and Brisbane then, for one night only at the Sydney Opera House.

What makes an Australian audience different from European ones? “There’s a big difference!”

Gabetta tells Fine Music magazine.

“I love Australia because I love the reactions of the people, how open and positive they are… and they come to the concert in a lighter frame of mind, not so serious. They can be serious but they can really enjoy it at the same time,” she says.

Gabetta reflects that perhaps it’s related to the “culture” in Europe and “expectations” of audiences.

“They don’t really take the concert as something surprising. Even if you bring something interesting, you have to be so very different from everybody else,” said Gabetta.

With the Australian Chamber Orchestra having such a strong following from their subscribers, Gabetta already knows she can expect sold out performances throughout the tour so getting tickets early is a must. Audiences will be thrilled; Sol Gabetta is precision and passion all rolled into one.

FINE MUSIC SUPPORTING AUSTRALIAN MUSICIANS Special program winners announced Fine Music 102.5 recently announced the recipients of two prestigious programs offered by the station annually – the Kruger Scholarship and the Artist-in-Residence.

Proof of the late Stefan Kruger’s love for music is the generous bequest that makes possible an annual scholarship valued at $15,000.

The Kruger Scholarship winner for 2016 is violinist Rebecca Gill and, no, she’s not related to Richard Gill, though she’s often asked.

Resident in Sydney for a number of years, Gill was born in Newcastle (which has also spawned jazz players Bob Bertles and Warwick Alder).

Gill names a number of Novacastrian classical musicians, including Chris Moore, Principal Viola with the ACO. Part of her plan for the Kruger Scholarship is to commission a work for violin and piano from Chris Williams – a composer she grew-up with.

Williams has previously done a lot of work with The Song Company. The new piece will form the basis of a concert program of Australian composers.

With repertoire composers she has a preknowledge of how to approach performance but “what’s really exciting about new music is that it’s completely out the window and you create something afresh,” says Gill.

Beethoven is a favourite composer but away from ‘the classics’, Gill likes to wind-down with jazz, blues and big band music.

Though she played a bit of clarinet at school, the violin was always Gill’s instrument and inspired a Master’s Degree (Research and Performance) with Janet Davies at Sydney University.

Rebecca Gill 4

Subsequently Gill was chosen for a Sydney Orchestra Fellowship under the guidance of Roger Benedict: “an incredibly generous, inspiring musician”, says Gill. That fellowship emphasises chamber playing but the musician believes, “It’s great to be able to do a mix of things”.

In terms of orchestras, Gill has already played with some prestigious ones: in 2011 at Aldeburgh with the Britten-Pears Orchestra directed by one of the new conducting stars, Edward Gardner, in a program featuring Rachmaninov and Berio. Apart from the music, “the landscape there was just stunning,” she says.

Gill has also performed at the Albert Hall (the Proms conducted by Sir Mark Elder) and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, while on tour with the Australian Youth Orchestra in 2010.

Artist-in-Residence Fine Music has always encouraged local music and musicians support that was formalised last year with the offer of Artist-in-Residence status to the Omega Ensemble and Acacia Quartet.

From 2016 this will be offered annually, giving recipients access to studios for recording, sound engineers, rehearsal facilities, promotional support, and more. The two recipients of Artist-in-Residence are flautist Bridget Bolliger and the Acacia Quartet.

Born in Sydney – and resident of the northern beaches – Bolliger’s paternal lineage traces to the “green rolling pastures” of Germanspeaking Switzerland.

Graduate of Sydney Conservatorium High School, at 18 she left for Switzerland to study with Peter-Lukas Graf (Basel Music Academy). Graf was “very intellectual… and I’m a very emotional person” so it was a good combination in terms of discipline says Bolliger.

After gaining a Soloist’s Diploma from Basel, she became Principal Flute with the St Gallen Symphony. Multiple orchestras and conductors followed – including a three-year stint in Brazil.

Since returning home in 2004, life has been no less hectic for Bolliger: performing with the SSO, MSO, QSO and the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra.

She established the New Sydney Wind Quintet which has two CDs and a commissioned work from Ross Edwards to its credit.

A vital part of the late September Manly Arts Festival is the Sydney Chamber Music Festival founded by Bolliger and graced this year by one of the last pre-retirement performances of the legendary John Bell in Five Shakespeare Portraits.

Bridget Bolliger

Apart from all the above, she somehow finds time to teach and conduct master classes and be mother to two young children.

As Fine Music’s Artist-in-Residence in 2016, Bolliger hopes to record more Australian compositions. Already, her CD of Adelaide-born Miriam Hyde’s music for Flute and Piano, Dancing Shadows, has received glowing reviews here and overseas. (see our review on page 17) “It is my passionate wish to make the following world premiere recordings: The Laughing Moon, 5 Bagatelles for wind quintet by Ross Edwards; Music For John Bell for wind quintet and actor

by Australian composer Robert Keane; and Mozart the Child a rendition of the early piano trios for piano, flute and cello which until now have been regarded as flute sonatas.

“I also wish to record the complete 12 Fantasias for solo flute by Telemann, for the benefit of and at the request of flute students around the world,” said Bolliger, adding that she would also like to record several sonatinas for flute and guitar by Australian composer Phillip Bolliger and to record her album. The album would include classics for flute as well as some works of Swiss/ Australian origin , in line with her heritage.

“That’s it!” said Bolliger, admitting that it’s not possible to complete all that recording over the course of one year.

“I believe I could achieve a lot with the support of Fine Music. My artistic goal is, as always, to inspire and educate the next generation of musicians and music lovers,” she said.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S PARTING GIFT An all-leunig song extravaganza

To ring out the old year and ring in the new, the Song Company will present 12 new songs and 12 stories, one for each month. Inspired by the work of Michael Leunig, the performance will represent the realisation of a dream for Song Company artistic director, Roland Peelman.

About to step down after 25 years, Peelman spoke with Fine Music magazine about his time at the helm and the development of this unique body of work based on the words and works of one of Australia’s most iconic public figures.

Described by Peelman as “often controversial, sometimes really dark, but very often really funny”, the work of Leunig lends itself well to the creation of this musical “almanac” that includes the work of 12 composers, each supported by a generous donor.

From January’s evocation of the municipal pool to August’s “disgruntled fellow” to Ruth McCall’s homage to Leunig’s ubiquitous cartoon duck, they all draw on material that has a distinctive Australian flavour.

“Even if it hits a dark chord it still makes you smile.

It’s incredibly concise what comes across in that little figure with the oversized nose… it’s a whole universe, the Leunig universe,” said Peelman.

He first came up with the idea some years ago but with the time being right to develop the All-Leunig Almanac, Peelman has had the opportunity to also involve composers that he says “I’ve had my eye on for some time”.

Rather than just a wishlist of composers, Peelman says, “More importantly I tried to find the people who will relate to this material.

There are a number of composers who are fantastic but would not be drawn to this type of material”.

It’s not the first time the a cappella ensemble of six professional singers, known for its excellence in vocal chamber music, has worked with an accomplished writer.

“We’ve worked with Les Murray,” said Peelman, “an extraordinary poet, and the works we have developed based on Les Murray’s work are absolutely world class”.

No stranger to the stage himself, Michael Leunig has given painting and poetry performances at the Sydney Opera House accompanied by the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO). He also provided the images and verse for the ACO’s productions of the Carnival of Animals and the Carnival of the Humans. In 2001 he wrote songs and lyrical poetry with Neil Finn, Brett Dean and Richard Tognetti for the ACO’s production of Parables, Lullabies and Secrets

The Song Company a cappella ensemble

and developed a series of short clay figure animations for SBS Television.

“I really wanted to do something based on Leunig before I go,” said Peelman, referring to his departure from the Song Company at the end of the year.

“The whole idea is that the project will live on beyond me, there are so many possibilities that it opens up. It’s just the beginning of something,” he said.

Leunig first heard the Song Company perform over a decade ago and was particularly struck by the group’s collaboration with his friend William Barton.

“I think he really relates to the simplicity of the human voice which is what the Song Company really represents,” said Peelman.

“We open our mouths and something comes out and it can go straight to your heart. That’s what Michael relates to.”

Peelman said that while others have also set Leunig’s words to music, he wonders whether the man himself really “inhabits that world”.

“When Michael draws or writes he’s in his own world. The song is somehow another world. I’m not sure that he really understands or enters this world of the song, it’s a different world,” he said.

Speaking of his own world beyond that the Song Company, Peelman says: “I have another job now, so there’s only so much one can cram into a day,” referring to his role as artistic director of the Canberra International Music Festival.

“The day- to-day care and attention to detail that is required to maintain a small group like

that [the Song Company] takes a lot out of your life.

“Twenty-five years it has been, and over that 25 years, I’ve loved every minute of it and still do,” said Peelman.

“This is the right time for me, the right time for the organisation.

“This Leunig project is my parting gift to the company, we’re giving six performances in the beginning of November, but the nature of this project is very much that it can live on,” said Peelman.

FINE MUSIC’S TRIBUTE TO ROGER SMALLEY

Our Musicial Luminary Karlheinz Stockhausen whose very difficult piano compositions Smalley was able to play at concert standard. He also attended Pierre Boulez’s lectures on music at Darmstadt.

The rigorous formal techniques he learnt were to stay with him all his life but from 1967 Smalley started introducing freer elements into his work including live electronics and improvisation and eventually he and Tim Souster co-founded the ensemble Intermodulation who performed in England and Europe from 1969-1976.

The ensemble was commercially unviable and when Frank Callaway offered Smalley a stint to be composer-in-residence at the University of Western Australia in 1974 he thought it worth a shot.

Roger Smalley

There are those who still view the 1950s as a time when families lived in ordinary houses with white picket fences, worked routine jobs and pursued predictable pastimes during a time when nothing too interesting was happening during that decade.

Scientists, engineers and musicians will tell you otherwise.

In the jazz field bebop was in full force, challenging the swing era devotees and the trad-jazz advocates. Rock and roll would capture the teenage market with three-minute stereotyped verse-bridge-chorus sound bites that remain the norm to this day.

But in the Classical sphere European and American composers were expanding the definition of what music is by producing the most adventurous and most controversial sonic constructions ever heard.

One individual who would absorb this and introduce it to Australia was born at Swinton near Manchester in England on 26 July, 1943 - his name was John Roger Smalley.

After developing piano playing with a local teacher Smalley entered the Royal College of Music in London in 1961 where he studied with Peter Racine Fricker and organised sparsely attended lunch time concerts of his own compositions.

Smalley attended analysis classes of contemporary musical works held by Alexander Goehr in the following year and in 1965 travelled to Cologne to study with

Australia’s gain Smalley’s first composition in Australia was Didgeridoo for four-channel tape, realised at that institution’s electronic studio.

As much as he was gaining a significant reputation, on his return to England Smalley found the European musical atmosphere rather stifling. So in 1976 he chose to return to the university in Perth as a research fellow where he was required to teach; and was free to compose and perform before a new audience.

The problem was that there was not an audience for new music of the kind Smalley had been composing of late. So he began to introduce another technique into his works: that of building a composition from a musical quotation taken from another composer’s opus.

Examples of this included usages of Frederic Chopin in the Oboe Concerto (of 1996), String Quartet no.2 (of 2000) and the Piano Quintet (of 2003); Robert Schumann in the Concerto for Cello and 17 Players (of 1996); Johannes Brahms in the Trio for Viola, Clarinet and Piano (of 1999); or even using quotations from one of Smalley’s own pieces as in the Horn Trio (of 2002).

These compositions are not pastiche. All of these works evolved over time as he placed each note meticulously. They are profoundly engineered constructions that reveal a musical logic devoid of superfluous notes. The material is wrought tightly and the borrowed quotation indiscernible to all but specialists. Moreover, they have Smalley’s engaging intellectual personality in them throughout.

Beyond that, Smalley had the remarkable facility to orchestrate a composer’s piano pieces in a way that even aficionados would accept could not have been done better by that composer.

The 10 Poems for Chamber Orchestra are beautiful, subtle works redolent of Alexander Scriabin immediately and throughout.

During his time in England Smalley was responsible for a number of premiere performances of other composer’s works: Australian David Lumsdaine’s Kelly Ground in 1966 (in the month after it was composed) and in the following year the same composer’s Flights (with fellow pianist Stephen Savage).

Milestones A milestone in Australian music occurred when Smalley’s Piano Concerto no.1 of 1985 was entered into the International Rostrum of Composers in 1987.

It is the only occasion that an Australian composition has been declared the top recommended work.

Another milestone occurred when Smalley became artistic director and conductor of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra New Music Ensemble in 1989.

Over the years they would introduce Australian audiences to the orchestral works of Stephen Benfall, Gordon Kerry, Dominic Karski, Kirsty Beilharz, Roxanne Della-Bosca, Matthew Hindson, Kate Neal and Michael Smetanin; all composers with substantial reputations now.

Smalley continued to perform as a solo pianist and as founder member of the Australian Piano Quartet in 1996. He was recognised with an Australian Government Centennial Medal in 2001 and elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities. Three years later he was proclaimed a Western Australian State Living Treasure.

Upon resigning from the University of Western Australia, Smalley relocated to Sydney in the middle of 2007. His composing ceased as he began to suffer the ravages of Parkinson’s disease and he drew his last breath on 18 August, 2015.

Vale Roger Smalley, you have left us all a wonderful and enduring legacy...

THE CZECH PHILHARMONIC CHILDREN’S CHOIR In Australia – November 6-22, 2015

ONE PERFO -OFF RMAN CE AT TH E CONC OUR 12 NO SE V

Don’t miss the Czech Philharmonic Children’s Choir (www.kuhnata.cz/en/) touring as part of the 26th Annual Glebe Music Festival, to be held in Sydney 6-22 November. They will give a one-off performance, with folkloric dancing, at the Concert Hall at The Concourse, Chatswood, on Thursday 12 November at 7pm.

The Choir was founded in 1932 and has performed in the Carnegie Hall, La Scala Milan, the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall Moscow and many other prestigious international venues. The naturalness of the children’s voices, their purity and polish are immediately captivating. The choir currently has over six hundred members, making it the largest choir in the Czech Republic, with children attending the choir from three years of age. The choir’s best concert division is, in age and sound, more akin to a youth choir.

For this tour, 35 singers will travel to Australia for a three-week trip which will include several key dates in Sydney: on Sunday 8 November at 3.30pm they will perform a free concert with organ at the Great Hall, University of Sydney; on Friday 13 November at 7pm and repeated the next day at 3pm, the Choir will perform a different program from the Great Hall concert, at the Glebe Town Hall, 160 St John’s Road, Glebe.

Choirmaster Petr Louzensky will conduct the Czech Philharmonic Children’s Choir in Czech and world vocal masterpieces

ACACIA QUARTET AND AYSE GOKNUR SHANAL

The Man in the Other Room

The Acacia Quartet, in one of its final performances for the year, will feature an exciting body of work including a collaboration with leading Australian Soprano Ayse Göknur Shanal.

The program features Osvaldo Golijov’s How Slow The Wind and Tenebrae, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s famous String Quartet KV421 and a world premiere of Ross Fiddes The Man In The Other Room for Soprano & String Quartet.

In fact, it all started when Fiddes contacted Acacia Quartet and asked if they would be interested in performing a piece of his for Soprano and string quartet with Shanal.

“Of course, as with all newly composed pieces, we showed interest and that was the start for a future program for Soprano and string quartet,” said Acacia’s violist Stefan Duwe.

The group has worked with a Soprano before; a collaboration with vocal ensemble Halcyon in 2011, performing Gordon Kerry and Osvaldo Golijov.

Acacia also recorded a CD of folksongs (North + South) with Soprano Jane Sheldon in 2012.

“Both times we really enjoyed working with voices, in the rehearsals, concerts and in the studio. I believe there’s nothing more exciting in music than listening (and working) to a beautiful voice or instrument, so working with great singers was very fulfilling,” said Duwe.

“I should point out that both pieces by Golijov as well as Fiddes The Man In The Other Room are very melodic and easy to listen to, even though they’re contemporary.”

Fiddes wrote the work for Shanal, “with no specific string quartet in mind - as far as I know,” according to Duwe. “It’s like a song cycle, with the Soprano voice being featured.”

Shanal tells Fine Music magazine: “The audience should expect an emotionally charged, lyrical, yet dramatic performance of the stories expressed in Fiddes and Golijov works”.

She is familiar with Fiddes’ style having worked with him on a number of occasions. She says The Man in the Other Room was actually written by Fiddes as a wedding gift to his son and daughter in law in 2005.

“The poem was written by his daughter Samantha who premiered it on their wedding day. From my knowledge, Ross then asked for more poems to set music too, around the main

Ayse Göknur Shanal

song, which then evolved into a song cycle.

“The final piece was completed beginning of 2014, around the time I connected with Ross, who then asked me if I would be interested in singing it.”

He also wrote another song for Shanal, to commemorate the Centenary of the ANZAC landings.

She says singing Fiddes’ works is technically and emotionally demanding for a Soprano as they require “every aspect of your vocal facility, plus the kitchen sink thrown in”.

“This is what makes them rewarding. This particular cycle, is an outpouring of love and requires full dynamic range. It will give myself and Acacia the freedom to access our full range of emotions,” says Shanal.

Similarly, Golijov’s How Slow the Wind makes strong demands. “He is very emotive and weaves wonderful textures into the music, enriched with lyricism. You really have to listen, in order to experience Golijov,” said Shanal.

How Slow The Wind is an adaptation of Emily Dickinson’s text, inspired by the sudden death of her friend Mariel Stubrin. It explores the emotions from the perspective of Mariel’s husband Dario and conveys the essence of celestial love. Golijov, inspired by the story and the text, set the music for Soprano voice and string quartet.

“While the voice is talking to Mariel, the strings

are the wind which are carrying her flying spirit,” said Shanal.

“I am really looking forward to the rehearsal process, to the give and take, the beautiful dialogue between these two entities, with Acacia,” she says, adding that chamber music is one of her passions.

“As a singer, I consider myself a story teller and I find that this is exactly what Acacia is brilliant at, as a chamber group. When you become part of a chamber group, there is the magic of emotional and musical exchange that is both telepathic and selfless.

“When you watch Acacia, this becomes evident in the manifestation of their music making process,” says Shanal.

NEW RELEASE FROM ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S FOREMOST PIANISTS

Interview with Gerard Willems

For Gerard Willems, it was a postcard from his mother at the age of seven that ignited a lifelong love affair with the music of Edvard Grieg. Morning Mood: Solo Piano Music of Edvard Grieg is the latest studio release of the revered Australian pianist.

“I’ve been very fond of a lot of his miniature piano pieces… I think, from a listener’s point of view, people just love listening to this music- it has this feeling of nostalgia,” Willems told Fine Music magazine.

“In German there is a term- wehmut- which is a beautiful term that has this sense of longing and yearning for the past in the true romantic fashion- his (Grieg’s) music is so full of it (wehmut), and I just adore it.”

For this album, Willems has again used a Stuart and Sons piano. No stranger to the unique sound and tone of these instruments, this journey started in 1996 when he played one of the instruments for the first time.

“It was such a turning point in my life when I

played that piano because I liked the sound- it was crystal clear; it was noble and it had a sort of dramatic edge to it.

“What was even more beautiful was the fact that you could get exactly the effect that you wanted to get out of the instrument,” said Willems, adding that his “inner ear” was realised in the Stuart piano’s tone.

Born in Bergen, Norway in 1843, Grieg was a prodigious musician from a young age. He studied in Leipzig and excelled as a student, before giving his concert debut in 1861. He was a contemporary of Liszt, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky, all of whom admired the beauty, originality and warmth that his compositions exude.

The compositions on the double-CD are reflective of the influences on the composer from Lyric Pieces, written in his early 20s, through to later works of great beauty and splendour.

“Some of the later Lyric Pieces are in a more advanced chromatic level compared to the earlier, straightforward simple pieces, where he

Gerard Willems

stresses folklore of Norway as a great influence,” says Willems of Grieg’s compositional style.

Gerard Willems has created a beautiful recording of the works of Edvard Grieg in this stunning two CD set. The use of the Stuart and Sons piano has created a unique and stunning collection of works by a true Romantic master.

WHAT ALL OPERA SHOULD BE LIKE

Report from Glyndebourne Festival In some ways, Glyndebourne Opera is a bit like the Last Night of the Proms. It is both a cliché of everything British yet also, for those lucky enough to experience it, one of the most joyous opera experiences you can have – if the weather holds. This isn’t a night out at the opera, this is being part of the production. The unenforced, yet enthusiastically embraced evening wear dress code, the fact that the opera theatre is grandly situated in the grounds of a stately home surrounded by magnificent gardens and the leisurely 90 minute interval for dinner, all combine to create a delightful experience that makes you forget reality and wonder why all opera experiences can’t be like this.

It’s like attending a modern version of a 1920s garden or house party. Staff everywhere, directing traffic and providing assistance in a subtle manner that makes the whole evening a joy. The only queues we encountered the entire evening were for the rather tiny lifts (my companion uses a wheelchair).

Whilst the opera tends to start at 5pm the gardens open at 3pm, and it’s worth getting there early. The main drawcard of Glyndebourne is of course the opera and the intimate and comfortable opera house but the gardens are part of the theatre of Glyndebourne and should not be missed.

Of course, sublime gardens and luxurious picnics are nothing if the opera isn’t up to scratch and thankfully Barrie Kosky in his first production for Glyndebourne delivers with a bang.

Barrie Kosky’s production of Handel’s Saul is a triumph. He has taken one of Handel’s earliest oratorios, merged the three acts into two and created an exquisite production. Kosky’s use of the raked stage and the Glyndebourne chorus is brilliant, with exceptional performances from Iestyn Davies as David and Christopher Purves as Saul.

Barrie Kosky’s production of Handel’s Saul - © Glyndebourne Productions Ltd. Photo: Bill Cooper

The production opens with a diminutive David, standing over the disturbingly life-like and giant decapitated head of Goliath. As Davies starts to sing, the rest of the cast are arrayed tableaulike on a giant table groaning with food just as you might expect at a banquet held by one of the last French Kings. These giant feast tables recur throughout the opera moving about the stage in a simple yet visually spectacular set.

The surface of the stage is covered in black dirt or ash, a now relatively common staging technique but rarely used to such brilliant effect. It also does a stellar job in muffling the sound of a cast of 50 dashing about the stage.

Iestyn Davies’ sweet counter tenor is a marvelous foible to the bass of Christopher Purves’ Saul who also excels in his role as the jealous and increasingly demented king.

The Glyndebourne chorus are exceptional in their support of this physical and perfectly choreographed performance. The raked stage is utilised to great effect, creating perspectives and lighting that would never work on a standard flat stage. Despite the choreography, costumes, lighting et al being decidedly showy they work together exquisitely well. In fact the performance of the chorus is possibly the best I’ve ever seen. The chorus is not just in the background in this production, swelling the scenes, but they play a significant role in the carrying of the plot and the physicality of their performance is impressive. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, led by Ivor Bolton, are also superb in their performance of the score.

Kosky has produced a masterpiece and Glyndebourne Festival has yet again shown why tickets are so hard to come by.

The Glyndebourne Festival runs over the European summer, so if you are going to be in the UK over this period do get along. It’s surprisingly easy to get to from London by train, with free shuttle buses from the train station.

Alternatively parking on site is free. Access to the gardens and theatre is all accessible even for those with mobility issues.

Tickets are released at the end of the year for the following season. They are allocated in stages, firstly to members, then associate members and finally to the general public. They also run a returns club if you miss out on the initial ballot.

150TH ANNIVERSARY OF SIBELIUS’ BIRTH Celebrating a Giant from the Heroic Past “A lonely and towering figure in the music of the early 20th century” is how Jean Sibelius has been described by Olin Downes who also adds that “he had the effect of a gigantic figure striding out of a heroic past either forgotten or existent only in legend”. This is because his harmonic and symphonic style had little reference to contemporary musical developments and no affinity with the Germanic tradition of the time. It is firmly rooted in his Finnish heritage.

Sibelius was born on 8 December 1865, christened Johann Julian Christian but known as Janne in his boyhood. In his youth he took the name of an uncle who had died before he was born and whose calling cards were inscribed with Jean Sibelius.

He began composing long before he had any theoretical instruction, studying instead from a book on composition. As well, until his 25th year, he had ambitions to be a violin virtuoso.

However, when studying law at Helsinki University and taking some music theory courses at the Conservatory where one of his tutors was Ferruccio Busoni, he decided to abandon law and devote himself to composition. In that year he won a scholarship and received a government grant which allowed him to study in Berlin and Vienna where he was assisted with advice on orchestration by Carl Goldmark.

He pointed out to Sibelius that he only had a chamber music conception of orchestration. As a result Sibelius began to expand the breadth and dimensions of his instrumentation so that his symphonic compositions embodied an epic spirit reflecting the past of his people yet at the

Jean Sibelius 12

same time encompassing the modern aspect and the national aspirations of his country.

When the young man returned to Finland, his countrymen were in a turmoil of patriotism stimulated by tyrannical acts of its Russian overlord: the dissolution of Finnish representation in government, the suppression of free speech and the right to assembly.

This, and the formative influences of his youth, changed the way in which he wrote music. Nature, forest and sea were influences throughout his life and he had very early absorbed the legends of his native country, in particular, the verses of the national epic, The Kalevala. The music he was inspired to write at this time was based on those legends and included Finlandia, Kullervo Symphony, En Saga and Four Legends of the Kalevala which follows the journey of the hero Lemminkäinen.

Sibelius’ style The music of Sibelius has the feel of the late Romantic period rather than of the early 20th century in which he composed most of music.

The orchestra is more robust than that of composers such as Debussy but, like Debussy’s music, the descriptive effect is emphasised by the orchestration. This robustness caused Philip Hale to write that “the instrumentation used

by Sibelius was as Nature’s instrumentation of the tempest”. There is hardly a page of his scoring which does not present fascinating and unprecedented groupings of instruments and astonishing orchestral effects are obtained through simple means. An example of his unusual style is his violin concerto where only the broad and melodic slow movement follows tradition. In the first, the violin appears to be improvising and the rhapsodic nature of the music is enriched by extensive cadenzas which appear to be free poetical thoughts by the unaccompanied instrument. The final movement is a peculiar rondo where the violin sweeps and skirls over an intentionally monotonous accompaniment or screams like a banshee over an orchestral tumult.

The development of Sibelius as a composer may be traced through his symphonies and his larger orchestral creations from the first Kullervo Symphony through his seven numbered symphonies. These symphonies have

established him as the next great symphonist after Beethoven and Brahms and one of the most important of the 20th century. He is essentially a composer of larger forms where his genius is expressed. His keyboard, chamber and his many beautiful songs and choral works are more conventional. Another important aspect of his work is the amount of incidental music which he wrote to accompany plays such as Maeterlinck’s Pelléas et Mélisande and Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

His workmanship is always apparent in every genre and a constant is his compact and logical structure. However, it is only when he has the resources of the many instruments of a large orchestra that Sibelius reveals the extent of his imagination and sweeps us along on high tides of emotion.

Mozart’s Requiem Mass from Salzburg Cathedral One of music’s truly great works, Mozart’s Requiem Mass, K 626, will be heard in a performance that took place in Salzburg Cathedral in August 2014, as part of the “Cathedral Concert Series” during that year’s Salzburg Festival. Among the soloists featured, will be the Sydney-born, Munich-based Bass Baritone, Martin Cooke, who also has arranged for this performance to be broadcast by Fine Music 102.5.

In this performance of Mozart’s Requiem, his co-soloists are Soprano, Aleksandra Zamojska, Contralto Brigitte Gröger-Lang, and Tenor, Frieder Lang. The Organist is the Dom’s resident Organist, Prof. Heribert Metzger, and providing the choral/orchestral pillars, are three groups, each one with a long and distinguished tradition, viz., the Salzburg Cathedral’s Choir, Orchestra and Youth Choral Ensemble.

As Salzburg’s most famous son, Mozart had a long and significant association with his birthcity and its Cathedral, despite variable views expressed from time to time in his letters.

Beginning to write his great Requiem during the year of his death, 1791, Mozart was prevented from completing the task, due to rapidly declining health. Over the years since, many

composers have attempted that task, some more successful than others; but still today, most of the performances mounted use the version completed by Mozart’s student, Franz Xavier Süssmayr. This also is the version from the Salzburg Festival we hear in this broadcast.

According to the original contract Mozart signed, witnessed by an attorney, the Requiem was commissioned by Count Franz von Walsegg-Stuppach, who regarded himself as a composer with, it seems, the tendency at times to pass off the work of others as his own. With the Requiem Mass, in return for his sponsorship, the Count stipulated that Mozart would not reveal the fact that he had composed the

work, conduct its first performance, or even make copies of the score. For his sponsorship, these privileges were to be the Count’s.

Despite suffering from increased illness and fatigue, Mozart, in this the final and darkest period of his life, continued to work not only on the Requiem, but also on operas and other compositions.

By the time death overtook him, Mozart had sketched around half the Requiem, with its final movements and some other scoring requiring completion.

This performance is under the direction of Professor János Czifra, Salzburg’s distinguished Domkapellmeister. And Fine Music 102.5 thanks Salzburg Cathedral, the Conductor and performers for their permission to broadcast this fine presentation.

The best-known is No. 4 (Voces Intimae), the composer’s only mature essay in the medium. It was written in 1909, just a year after the trauma caused by a confrontation with cancer that overshadowed him for the next five years and was to also influence the desolate Fourth Symphony (1911). It’s in five movements, with two scherzo-like movements around the emotional core of the work, the Adagio di molto, which has some heart-felt playing from the

Flinders. There’s an elusive mood in the Allegretto ma pesante: the main theme has all the sardonic character of Shostakovich/Prokofiev and you sense darker emotions are just beneath the surface of its ‘folky’ bonhomie. Sibelius’ tempo instructions for the finale basically amount to ‘faster and faster’ – so starting it too quickly might leave you with nowhere to go; even so, I wonder if the Flinders could have shown a little more abandon to create the ‘whirlwind of sound’ that I sense the composer wanted toward the end of the movement. Throughout though, they show careful attention to dynamics, and the players’ ensemble and the recording itself offer great detail. Various composers have been suggested as influences in the A minor Quartet of 1889 (Grieg, Mendelssohn) – certainly there’s not much to hear of the mature Sibelius. But it’s very and composer Wouter Kellerman. This album is a brilliant work that fuses together the music of many cultures and influences from around the world including Senegal, Spain, Cuba, India, Greece and even the United States. Kellerman’s album from the start is a full-on journey for the listener exploring many of the rich musical cultures that exist around the world.

He artfully weaves together many different musical cultures, styles, practices and peoples to create a stunning tapestry of unique and beautiful music. This ‘tapestry’ is unified with Kellerman’s gorgeous flute sound as the feature on each track – using C flute, Bass and Alto.

Each track is accompanied by many different combinations of brilliant handpicked players from around the globe and every corner of the earth. The album’s journey begins in India with a track Aishwarya with one of Kellerman’s Sumi Jo’s steely account of the Aria of the Queen of the Night or Cecilia Bartoli’s Casta Diva, for which she lacks the necessary vocal opulence and grand manner. Of the duets, Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca do better in the Tales of Hoffmann than Joan Sutherland and Jane Berbie do in Lakme. The music on the tenor disc is on a lower level and has too many multiple contributions by artists whose voices I do not like (Florez and Araiza, to name just two). In fact, the only tenor voice that I really enjoyed hearing was that of Joseph Calleja. However, those who admire Pavarotti and Domingo may find more to enjoy than I did. Other singers included are Auger, Kozena, Ti Kanawa, Cotrubas, Gheorghiu, Jenkins, Aler, Villazon, Boe, Vargas and Tezier. Several “pop”

Aishwarya is a brilliant example of some of Kellerman’s more virtuosic playing and shows how exceptionally unique his voice is on the flute. The album continues with another great track: Kellerman’s rearrangement of Antonio Vivaldi’s classic composition Winter.

This beautiful piece has been reimagined with flute as the leading voice accompanied by The Australian Urban Orchestra on strings and the Soweto Gospel choir. It is these kind of unexpected collaborations and brilliant crosscultural musical relationships that Kellerman forms that create some of the most interesting and beautiful moments on the album.

If this double CD is any indication, flautists have a wealth of quality contemporary pieces to play – of which I’ll mention a few… Toru Takemitsu’s Voice (1971) is a sterling opener.

Bartolozzi’s explorations of multiphonics revolutionised what was possible with the flute but for all the modernity of technique, the irony is that Voice reflects the centuriesold traditions of Japan. Keys are tapped for a tuned percussive effect; vocalisations and a microtonal flute transform the performer into a one-woman Noh theatre. The breathy attack on some notes and microtonal ‘bending’ on others call to mind the shakuhachi (bamboo

lies at the highest register of her voice, as in the arias from Meyerbeer’s Dinorah, Verdi’s I Masnadieri and Bellini’s Beatrice di Tenda, her virtuosity is truly extraordinary and brilliant.

When the music is slow and lying-lowing, the flaws in her singing become apparent – the lack of inflexion, her poor enunciation and the absence of vigorous declamation; even the voice itself sounds less attractive. Her performance of Ocean thou mighty monster from Weber’s Oberon compares unfavourably with that of her compatriot Florence Austral; the heroic element is missing. Nevertheless, there is enough to enjoy here to make these discs a worthwhile purchase. Great care has been taken with the presentation. Richard Bonynge conducts the superb London Miriam Hyde is the one of the biggest names of Australian music history who was not only a composer but a teacher, performer, recitalist, lecturer and examiner for AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board). Dancing Shadows captures her poetic vision and her ability to create almost tangible settings in the listener’s mind. This album is unquestioningly magical; there is always something new to discover each time it is heard. It almost feels like Hyde had the intention to share personal memories with the audience, particularly in Wedding Morn, which opens with sweetness and simplicity and gradually moves into an array of darker notes. Perhaps it depicts her loneliness during the separation when her husband became a prisoner of war during World War II. Bolliger plays with such clarity and exquisiteness, she flute). Brett Dean – one of the best things to happen to Australian composition in the last two decades – is represented by Demons which traverses a profusion of ideas and sustained energy in just seven minutes.

One of the products of 12 years spent in this country is his A Charm of Australian Finches. An antipodean addition to the catalogue of Messiaen? Wedding Suite of Elena Kats-Chernin was written for the nuptials of Laura Chislett and violinist (and lawyer) Thomas Jones. With folkloric elements, it’s one of the more traditionally melodic works here. And, her Blue Silence is meant to evoke calmness and healing for sufferers of schizophrenia. Rounding out the recital are the Four Episodes for solo piano (2010) by Brisbane-born Gerald Glynn. As befits a man

Symphony Orchestra effectively (and also plays the piano accompaniment for some songs) and the notes by Andrew Porter, reprinted from the original LP set, are most interesting. No texts are provided.

– Richard Gate captures the tiniest details that Hyde herself embedded in the pastoral-like pieces. The playfulness, lively and sweet romantic tunes of the flute are accompanied by the subtle presence of West’s piano. If you love Debussy or Ravel you won’t be disappointed with this album. Although passion is not a key point, the impressionistic and dream-like style of the pieces compromises for its lack thereof. As a listener you can feel even from the first note that Hyde had a deep appreciation of the natural environment and the beauty of life’s simplest gifts. This album has done Hyde great justice with elevating the rich harmonies and every nuance in the melody. It is a work of pure storytelling.

YOUNG VIRTUOSI

YV Works with New Sydney Opera Projects Fine Music’s renowned Young Virtuosi program has for some time sought to include live performance as part of its weekly line up.

The success of the recent performance of La ‘Petite’ Boheme at the Independent Theatre has led to the formation of a unique initiative, Sydney Opera Projects. It has a program of events planned for 2016 including opera, concerts and recitals, some of which will be broadcast on Fine Music 102.5.

Fine Music magazine caught up with Musical Director Bradley Gilchrist to discuss the development of Sydney Opera Projects and the opportunities that it will offer to young musicians and composers, some of whom are Young Virtuosi alumni.

“Sydney Opera Projects developed from an ambitious experiment. In June of this year, we decided to perform an opera in the intimate setting of North Sydney’s Independent Theatre,” explains Gilchrist.

La ‘Petite’ Boheme was a chamber version of Puccini’s La Boheme, reduced for seven singers and seventeen orchestral musicians.

“The performances were very well received, with audiences impressed by the power the music and narrative had when communicated in a small space with minimal set.

“The subsequent encouragement from those present, together with generous offers of sponsorship and other assistance gave way to ideas of new ventures, and ultimately the formation of Sydney Opera Projects,” said Gilchrist.

The first broadcast is scheduled this month on Fine Music 102.5, which is based on a session recorded in Fine Music’s own Studio C. “The exciting 2016 program of events to include

operas, concerts and recitals will be launched at three La Traviata Highlights Concerts on December 11, 12 and 13,” said Gilchrist.

Bringing opera to audience When asked what kinds of audiences Sydney Opera Projects hopes to attract, Gilchrist said: “Opera audiences account for only 5% of audiences across the worldwide classical music industry. For those of us who fiercely love the artform, we have to ensure its survival through grassroots and innovative means. This equates to the need to create our own opportunities.

“We have a young, enthusiastic, highly-trained, highly-skilled network of singers and musicians in Sydney and it is just a matter of mobilising those forces,” said Gilchrist.

He said that Sydney Opera Projects will provide professional opportunities to young local artists as well as the chance to be involved in invigorating the local performing arts industry.

Mentorship from established industry mentors to ensure knowledge is passed on to the current generation of aspiring performers is another vital ingredient in the success of this venture.

All events for 2016 will be held at the Independent Theatre, North Sydney.

“It is the perfect size, setting and location for the kinds of events to be presented by Sydney Opera Projects.

“The idea of condensing grand opera into chamber versions is not new, but it has great relevance in contemporary Sydney life where people lead such hectic schedules that they cannot commit to lengthy performances,” said Gilchrist.

“By experiencing opera in this intimate way, we hope to instill a love of opera in new, young audiences.”

Specific initiatives designed to attract diverse audiences and make the experience of opera more accessible include narration of the plot, the use of young performers, innovative staging and low-cost tickets.

Gilchrist believes that Fine Music, in particular the Young Virtuosi Program, occupies a unique place in championing young performers.

“As an accompanist, I have supported many of the YV Alumni, and many of the Alumni will participate in our forthcoming Sydney Opera Projects productions.

“Fine Music has committed to recording our live performances- a huge technical challenge for the sound engineers with all of the stage movement necessary in theatre,” he said.

Jazz CD Reviews Lost In Romance Lyn Stanley A.T. Music LLC 3101

✶✶✶✶

Melodies rekindle memories especially when they are classic standards from The Great American Songbook sung with sophistication, style and warmth. Those three words sum up the singing of Lyn Stanley on her debut album where, accompanied by some of the cream of the West Coast jazz scene, she tastefully yet expressively defines the lyrics of matchless songs by such legendary composers as Irving Berlin (Change Partners), Harold Arlen (That Old Black Magic) and Michel Le Grand (Watch What Happens). For me the latter is the stand out track, imaginatively arranged by

Tamir Hendelman, one of the three pianists used on the album. The other two are Mike Lang and Llew Mathews but it’s Hendelman, thoughtful and creative as the mood demands, who catches the ear. Elegance made Stanley a champion ballroom dancer and this has been carried over to her singing which can be rhythmic (That Old Black Magic) as well as melodic (The Nearness of You) on this perfectly-paced album; add an intimate but personal approach and you have the complete vocal package. There are fine solos by Gilbert Castellanos (flugelhorn), tenor saxophonist Bob Sheppard and trombonist Bob McChesney and the darkly brooding One For My Baby owes much to Lang’s accompaniment. Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn’s The Last Dance seems an appropriate but satisfying way to end.

USA where she studied songwriting, as well as vocal performance in Stanford California and in New York, leading to her compositional contributions to this album - Our Little Boy,

Sink or Swim, On the Other Side and the title track Oranges and Sunshine. Hoyt’s vocals have never sounded so very perfect as when she’s zooming away on breezy renditions of Nature Boy and My Baby Just Cares For Me then soaring to vocal heights with her finesse and natural ability on It’ll Rise Again, written

by Peter Sculthorpe specifically for voice and piano. Hoyt’s band features excellent arrangements by Scott Griffiths with some magical improvisations, while Darryn Farrugia’s finely tuned and sympathetic drumming along with Jonathan Zion’s exceptional bass work contribute to making this album a first class effort and one to be really proud of.

to but a few record collectors. Thank heavens for the Victorian Jazz Archive, now re-badged as the Australian Jazz Museum with full museum status. This largely volunteer run organisation, much like Fine Music, has been putting its vast knowledge and expertise to work, not only collecting and archiving the wealth of Australian jazz information and memorabilia, but also in recovering, re-mastering and rereleasing the recorded music itself. Three of the Jazzart Collection, The Progressives – 1, 2 & 3 and subtitled “birth of the Cool”, take a close look and listen to some of the major players of “modern” jazz development in Australia between 1948 and 1952, all re-mastered from the original 78 records. There are well-known numbers from the American songbook as well as less familiar tunes and a few originals among the 18 tracks on each, that range from historical interest to absolute gems. Included are players who had an impact on the development of

Australian jazz – vibraphonist Jack Brokensha who was part of the highly regarded Australian Jazz Quartet and spent much of his time in America; violinist Don Harper, a wonderful player who became Head of Jazz Studies at Wollongong University; Ron Gowans, who led his own bands and toured with many of the visiting artists such as Fitzgerald, Shaw, Rich and Krupa; and Errol Buddle, one of our leading reed players for decades who is touring locally and internationally. There is an entire disc dedicated to saxophonist Splinter Reeves, who led his own groups in Melbourne, Sydney and Queensland. American ex-Ellington member Rex Stewart has several tracks, recorded during his many months’ stay here in 1949, as do Don Banks, Ron Loughhead, Bruce Clarke and vocalist Edwin Duff. Congratulations and thank you to the good folk at the Australian Jazz Museum for keeping our jazz history alive.

SWINGING ON THE VINE The Good Life I’m about join in the applause as the pulsating version of One For My Baby ends but manage to restrain myself at the thought of dropping my glass of wine at the feet of Big J whose eyes have never left it now that his bowl is empty. The rain is falling gently on my Hunter Valley hideaway but there is nothing soft about the applause coming through my loudspeakers for the then 35-year-old Tony Bennett and the orchestra of Ralph Sharon, his pianist and musical director, in New York’s Carnegie Hall on the night of 9 June, 1962.

We are now in the 21st century and the New Yorker, born Anthony Dominick Benedetto in Astoria, Queens on 3 August, 1926, is still performing at the age of 89 although his voice has changed through the decades - no longer strong and vigorous, it has deepened and darkened as it has gathered texture and grain. Yet his voice remains an expressive instrument and he can still bring more meaning to ballads than any other male singer performing today. His insight into a lyric has sharpened but then Bennett has always considered himself an actor not a musician - the songs are his roles.

But what is the secret of his longevity? The answer is in the songs sung at Carnegie Hall: classics from The Great American Songbook by Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and Harold Arlen who was in the audience. Bennett says he invented the phrase “The Great American Songbook”, a claim no one has disputed as he continues to be the caretaker of the literate American song. After more than 50 years he still sings these songs with a mixture of humility and pride as the custodian of a tradition he treasures shining brightly surrounded by a junk heap of pop inanity.

Yet it seems remarkable that such Bennett staples as The Good Life,

I Wanna Be Around, Who Can I Turn To and I Left My Heart In San Francisco, his signature tune, never reached the top 10, let alone the top of the charts when they were released. Unlike so much of the dross which dominated the airwaves and were forgotten in six months or so, these songs have lasted. In other words they have become standards like so many others which did so without becoming hits. For example, during the 1930’s the top composers such as Gershwin and Kern were on the West Coast writing for Hollywood musicals. They would show each other what they were writing. One night lyricist Yip Harburg came into a club with Arlen and played Last Night When We Were Young. No one was impressed. The verdict: Good but too arty; not commercial enough!

It’s now a standard.

In the 16 June, 1954 edition of Down Beat magazine Bennett told Nat Hentoff: “I want to make an album where I just blow. A very relaxed album of standards away from the commercially-styled records we’ve been making. I want to make it with the right musicians... the way the jazz sides are made.” The album, Cloud 7, made later that year with guitarist Chuck Wayne, remains one of my favourite Bennet albums.

Bennett, although he could never be called a jazz singer as say Mel Torme, has always had a deep love for jazz. He credits Stan Getz’s free flowing, irrepressibly melodious playing as the major influence on the way he phrases a song. In fact when he first started out he was advised not to imitate a singer in finding his own style but an instrumentalist. He chose one of the greatest of all jazz musicians, the giant of the keyboard Art Tatum. Why? Because Tatum changed tempos.

He has been backed by some of the best in the business including the orchestra of Count Basie but I find his best and most satisfying are a tribute to the stellar song writing team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart with the Ruby Braff-George Barnes Quartet and the 1975 session with pianist Bill Evans. This classic collaboration showcased Evans sublime creativity as an accompanist with Bennett’s deep jazz sensitivity.

Bennett is full of praise for Bill Charlap whom he considers the next Evans. “This guy’s the best. He knows. He understands - and the honesty.

He has a fantastic repertoire by people like Vernon Duke but also offbeat ones, pop art songs like Lazy Afternoon and Sleeping Bee.” Charlap backs Bennett on his latest album, The Silver Lining: The Music Of Jerome Kern. Bennett continues to keep his standards.

November Program Highlights MAXIM VENGEROV: ARTIST OF CHOICE 3 November at 9am As foreshadowed in the October issue of Fine Music, violinist Maxim Vengerov will be playing at the Opera House on 10 December for Musica Viva. Born in 1974 to very musical parents his mother was a conductor and his father an oboist – Vengerov first came to public prominence when he won the prestigious Carl Flesch competition in London at the age of 16. The rapid rise that followed included being named Artist of the Year and becoming UNICEF’s Envoy for Music, as well as winning a Grammy Award and the Edison Award.

This month’s selection of music includes works

by Saint-Saëns, Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Brahms and Glazunov.

Exploring Tchaikovsky Wednesdays, 3pm Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is best known for his orchestral works, including several ballets, operas and works for solo instruments. His works contain the emotion and intensity of a typical romantic period piece. Tchaikovsky was affiliated with ‘The Five’ in his youth (Russian composers dedicated to promoting Russian music in the world) and was considerably influenced by Rimsky-Korsakov who regarded Tchaikovsky as one of his star pupils.

Michael Morton-Evans will be exploring the music of Tchaikovsky during November.

Fine Music recordings of local concerts Live and Local – Thursdays, 8pm Our regular Thursday evening broadcasts of concerts recorded by Fine Music engineers at local venues continue during November with four very different concerts.

On Thursday 5 November, two rising young pianists are featured in a program recorded at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, Forestville.

William Cesta plays works by Beethoven, Chopin and Doug Riley, while Melody Tsz-ching Chung plays works by Chopin, Schumann and Julie Kuok.

On Thursday 12 November, the Goldner String Quartet plays works by Ligeti, Paul Stanhope and Beethoven, recorded at the City Recital Hall.

Thursday 19 November takes us to The Concourse at Chatswood for a concert by New South Wales Doctors’ Orchestra. Works played are by Dvorák, Janácek, Smetana and the orchestra’s conductor, David Banney.

The final concert for the month, on Thursday 26 November, took Fine Music’s engineers to the Utzon Room at the Sydney Opera House for a concert by the Australian Haydn Ensemble.

Works played included those by Haydn, Graf, Boccherini, Wendling, Beethoven and Mozart.

Grétry Double Bill 4 November, 8pm André Ernest Modeste Grétry was born in Liège in 1741, his father being a poor musician.

Altogether he composed some 50 operas. One of his acknowledged masterpieces, Richard Coeur-de-lion, was first produced in 1784 and is the second of the opera double bill being broadcast on Wednesday 4 November. The first offering of the evening will be L’ámant jaloux, or the jealous lover, a typical comic opera complete with mistaken identities.

Pick of the Hat Mining the Majors – Saturdays, 9.30am Each Saturday, we ask one of Fine Music’s programmers to dip into a hat and draw out the name of a major orchestral work.

They are then challenged to prepare a twohour program culminating in that work. In November, the major works chosen are Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto (7th), Dvorák’s New World Symphony (14th), Vincent d’Indy’s Summer Day on the Mountain (21st) and Dvorák’s Cello Concerto (28th).

A Korngold film 21 November, 3pm Academy Award-winning composer Erich Korngold was a pioneer in the art of composing film scores, achieving immense success with his score for the 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn. In 1940, he wrote the score for Sea Hawk, also starring Errol Flynn, and you will be able to hear the complete score on 21 November.

1:35

Leonore’s husband has died leaving his share in a business to her. Her father, Lopez, also a partner in the business, wishes to prevent his daughter remarrying so he can control the business. He questions her maid Jacinte about a possible suitor, Don Alonze. She says he only visits to accompany his sister, Isabelle. Lopez asks her to tell Isabelle not to visit. Isabelle arrives accompanied by a French officer, Florival, who has rescued her from some ruffians sent by her guardian who wishes to marry her. Florival leaves under the mistaken impression she is Leonore. Alonze has been in favour of the guardian’s claim so when he arrives, Isabelle hides in a closet. He hears a noise and when Leonore forbids him to look assumes that another suitor is hiding there. Lopez arrives and in the ensuing commotion, a veiled Iabelle escapes easing Alonze’s mind about another suitor. Outraged at Alonze’s suspicions, Leonore decides to end their association. Jacinte reports Alonze’s dejection and that he says he must meet Leonore if his life is to be saved. When they meet, she chides him for his suspicions and he promises never to be jealous again. A serenade is heard from outside as Florival sings to çharming Leonore’. Enraged, Alonze rushes to the window, sword in hand. Leonore calls for the singer to flee. Nothing can placate the wrath of Leonore and Alonze. Isabelle and Florival meet in

Eventually mistaken identity is corrected, jealousy forgiven and all impediments to the marriage of the two couples are resolved.

King Richard is imprisoned in a fortress. His troubadour, Blondel, who has been searching for him for a year, arrives in the village disguised as a blind man. The Welsh knight, Williams, who resides nearby, intercepts a love letter from Florestan, Governor of the castle, to his daughter Laurette.

Blondel sees the arrival of Marguerite, Countess Flanders and Artois, at the Williams house. She is loved by King Richard who wrote a special tune for her. She hears Blondel playing it on his violin.

As dawn breaks, Richard is walking on the castle terrace when he hears the sound of the violin playing the tune he had written for Marguerite.

As Blondel sings, Richard joins in. Guards surround Blondel who tells them he has an important message for the Governor. He passes on the message that Laurette will meet Florestan that night. Marguerite asks Blondel about the song.

He discards his disguise and she recognizes him as Richard’s troubadour. He reveals that Richard is in the fortress. When Florestan comes to meet Laurette, Marguerite’s knights capture him and storm the castle. During the battle, Blondel fights his way to the King, hands him a sword, and together they fight on to victory. Florestan is pardoned, Richard and Marguerite are reunited, and all give thanks to Blondel.

Hagenbach, a soldier, has argued with Wally’s father, who tells her to marry Vincenzo. She refuses as she loves Hagenbach, whom she seeks in a tavern. He accepts a bet to kiss Wally. When she realises she has been used, she asks Vincenzo to kill Hagenbach. Vincenzo pushes him into a ravine. Horrified, Wally rushes to the site and with a rope brings the unconscious body to the surface. Regaining consciousness, he confesses his love. He seeks a safe path down, but his call to her starts an avalanche which kills him. Wally hurls herself after him.

Nightingale NC07 0563-2 2:29 Roberto Devereux returns, against orders, from a disastrous commission in Ireland. Accused of treason, he is arrested. Elisabetta also suspects him, but not of treason. She suspects that he is unfaithful to her and confides in her friend, Sara, unaware that Sara is her rival. Roberto is sentenced to death and Elisabetta waits anxiously for the ring she had given him for just such an unfortunate occasion. However, as Sara is about to return it on his behalf, she is delayed by her husband. She reaches Elisabetta as the canon shot proclaiming his death is heard.

Wednesday 25 November 12:00 JAZZ SKETCHES with Robert Vale

Buoso Donati has died and his relatives frantically search for a will. Rinuccio finds the will, withholds it from the others and, confident that he has been left plenty of money, asks permission to marry Lauretta, daughter of Gianni Schicchi. His aunt Zita says that if he is wealthy he can marry whomever he pleases. However, Donati has left everything to a monastery. Great indignation ensues. Schicchi and Lauretta arrive. After Lauretta’s pleading, Schicchi devises a plan.

As no one but those present know that Donati is dead, he calls for the doctor, and concealed behind the bed curtains, declares to the doctor that he, impersonating Donati, is feeling better and asks the doctor to return that evening. Disguised, Schicchi then dictates a new will which benefits all the relatives and himself, to the chagrin of the relatives. There is now no impediment to the marriage of Rinuccio and Lauretta.
