The fine music season is in full swing, with an array of world-class events taking place in Sydney and surrounds during the month of March.

We’re especially honoured to host several concerts with Christoph von Dohnányi, the celebrated German maestro. He will be here to conduct two different programs, featuring works by Berg, Bruckner, Brahms and Lutosławski. This association between the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and von Dohnányi is set to deliver some beautiful concerts, helmed by a man with romantic ideals but a pragmatic attitude. Having worked with some of the leading orchestras, musicians and conductors of our time, including Bernstein, von Karajan and Muti to name a few, Christoph von Dohnányi brings a lifetime of experience to the rostrum and a great reverence for the works being presented.

“The only important people in music for me are the composers,” he tells Fine Music’s Nicky Gluch. Pick up the story on the next page.

In this issue we also speak to two outstanding Australian sopranos. The first is Nicole Car who has just released her debut CD The Kiss which includes some sterling performances with the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra.

The other operatic star is baroque specialist Sara Macliver, who spoke with Fine Music’s Callum Close about her upcoming performances with The Australian Haydn Ensemble – read the full story on page 10.

On page 12 you can find details of the first round of broadcasts of the Young Virtuoso Award semi-finalists – they begin on Fine Music 102.5 on 2 March.

With five young musicians featured this month, you will hear an astonishing selection of works for piano, harp, euphonium and cello in what is set to be a hotly contested competition again this year.

You can also find more in this issue, on the exciting program planned for Brisbane Baroque and the ongoing success of this unique festival from Artistic Director Leo Schofield. And, we catch up with no less than the ‘Queen of Austria’, singer Conchita Wurst, visiting Australia early this month to perform with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as part of Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival.

Christoph von Dohnányi IN AUSTRALIAN FIRST Set to create ‘romantic memories’ concern but to me these are two great pieces of music.”

He continues: “I don’t put Bruckner with Beethoven, it’s better with Mozart, or Haydn or even Bartok even though they’re very varied… you find a same mentality, the concerto actually has a totally different approach because the Bruckner is a piece which is very much centred in itself whereas the Berg asks a lot of questions.

“It’s two ways of looking at things. With Alban Berg and Bruckner, you get different answers.”

Asking Berg’s ‘questions’ will be the German violinist Carolin Widmann. This will be an encore to the tour she did with von Dohnànyi in Europe last September. To von Dohnányi she is the ultimate interpreter of this work.

“She [Widmann] is very, very knowledgeable about this concerto”, he says, “I haven’t found anyone who knows this concerto better than her and she is, as you know, from a very musical family, so it is fun to make music with her.”

Christoph von Dohnányi

“I was 15 when the war was over and my father… died in the concentration camp.

Germany was very much destroyed; physically and mentally destroyed and though close to music all my life, during the war time there was no way of continuing music,” says von Dohnányi, adding that everyone essentially “lost” five years of their lives.

At the age of 16, he decided he would “do both… develop my musical skills but also I would make sure that I had studied something I could make a career out of.

“But then while I was studying law, music started to take over, I was composing to the annoyance of the law professor but of course when you are 16 you can do both at the same time and then I went to the Academy of Music.”

Completing his qualifications in music within three years, von Dohnányi then won the Richard Strauss prize and in doing so financed a trip to see his grandfather in the United States.

“In those days we didn’t have much money, you know it is hard without a father and so I studied with my grandfather and with Bernstein in Tanglewood and… music took over,” explains von Dohnányi.

”

There is music in the way that Christoph von Dohnányi conveys a story – information unfurled with emotion. Take, for example, how he became a conductor, a story which actually began with him studying law at the conclusion of the Second World War.

music started to take over

”

Sixty-five years’ later he now has cause to travel to the distant shores of Australia. In April, von Dohnányi will conduct two concerts with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in programs chosen for their beauty and poise. In the first, Bruckner’s mighty Fourth Symphony is paired with Berg’s lamentful Violin Concerto but not for any complicated reasons. Rather, in von Dohnányi’s opinion, “To choose a program, well these are two great pieces and I think good music fits.

Some people think it has to be a tremendous

Perhaps this romantic sentiment - that music is something made by the people that play it - better encapsulates the title of the program, Romantic Memories, than the simple allusion to Bruckner’s symphony. Indeed, as von Dohnányi explains: “Bruckner didn’t call it the Romantic Symphony, that came later and he agreed to it.”

He adds: “I don’t care for stories… I think the music is overcoming any sort of story.

The piece has been given lots of narrative interpretations, some of which are very well known”.

He has a feeling that the beginning of the piece was thought of by Bruckner as a “wake-up call for the city”.

The city in question is Vienna and it is clear that von Dohnányi has a specific fascination with its music for it links three of his chosen composers, Berg, Bruckner and Brahms.

Asked about his personal relationship with the city, von Dohnányi says: “In the days when I was at the opera I did Wagner’s Ring… and I did have dealings with the Vienna Philharmonic. I conducted lots of

helmed by a man with romantic ideals but a pragmatic attitude. In parting von Dohnányi talks of his lasting musical dream “that orchestras, musicians, organisations and all sort of political people who are responsible for culture, always try to keep as modest as possible facing this wonderful thing [that is music].

“There’s something so special about what we are dealing with that I sometimes wonder how you can become vain if you really deal in the right way with music.”

2016 sees von Dohnányi return to Vienna to conduct the special Freedom of Joy concert, held on the anniversary of Germany’s surrender in WW2. In this instance he will conduct the Vienna Symphony in a program he describes as “something special”.

“It’s in the Heldenplatz and we are doing Schoenberg’s Survivor from Warsaw and we’re doing the Eroica. And these two pieces, well Beethoven of course is beyond politics but the Eroica is a special piece dealing with the happenings in politics in his day with Napoleon and the Survivor from Warsaw is dealing very much with what happened to the Jewish people in Nazi Deutschland.”

Another Sydney concert For his second Sydney concert, von Dohnányi has chosen to juxtapose Lutosławski and Brahms. The pairing is chosen, again, for the differing ways that the composers look at

life. Brahms ‘sunny’ Second Symphony is not reflective of his mood at that time in his life.

As von Dohnányi explains: “If you are an artist like Brahms, like Mozart, not necessarily do you have to be in the best mood of your life to write a Symphony in D major”.

It is a different story with the Lutosławski work that is much more emotionally connected, but as von Dohnányi points out, it was composed at a different time in history.

”

Carolin Widmann operas in Salzburg with them, I did lots of concerts with them but these were in the days when (Herbert von) Karajan was there and he invited me and (Riccardo) Muti did invite me a lot as well.”

She has a great voice and a great brain

”

“Lutosławski composed in a century, which was very much related to what was happening politically. In the case of Musique Funèbre his concern is with Bartók and what was happening in Hungary, so in a sense you can say it is a sad piece, but the other one is beyond sadness.

“If you look at the second movement of the Brahms symphony I don’t think the emotional approach is that different, only Lutosławski lived in the 20th century where they opened their moods much more than in the 19th century.”

As the pivot from the Lutosławski to the Brahms, von Dohnányi has selected Berg’s Seven Early Songs. In a word, they are transcendent and von Dohnányi has chosen the unique voice of Camilla Tilling for their delivery. “She is something”, he says, “Wonderful singers actually approach lieder not only from their voices… She has a great voice and a great brain and so that makes a great artist I think.”

Soprano Camilla Tilling

This association between the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and von Dohnányi is set to deliver some beautiful concerts,

The conductor counsels those in the arts to keep their modesty but be decisive; develop personality and “have a clear opinion about what you are doing but always think of how special something is, like creating music”.

“The only important people in music for me are the composers,” he says, “that’s where it starts and that doesn’t mean you don’t have your own opinion, you have to have your own opinion but you have to keep your respect and not do silly things with music.”

With von Dohnányi, one imagines, we need not fear.

From the chair...

I write in the midst of preparing for the Board Strategy Day. Fine Music has achieved much of what we set out to do at our 2012 Strategy Day. A number of volunteers with specialised skills have joined us to help us in our applications for grants, the creation of our new Australian music for HSC programs, and the development of our schools engagement program.

The Stefan Kruger Bequest enabled us to broadly equip our purpose built premises. In memory of this generous benefactor we set up the Stefan Kruger Scholarship, valued at more than $15,000, awarded annually to a talented Sydney based musician enabling them to undertake a project. This year violinist, Rebecca Gill will be performing a series of works she has commissioned from Chris Williams, a young Australian composer, now based overseas.

We broadcast an alternate Fine Music program on Digital after the Breakfast program. Both our FM and Digital programs are streamed live. Perhaps you’ve enjoyed being part of an intimate audience during one of our live

broadcasts from our performance studio, or attended our Live from Town Hall event.

Last year, three large donations made it possible for us to buy the remaining office space in our building. This will give us much needed space for our very popular Enjoy Learn Discuss afternoons on the third Sunday of most months and enable us to further develop our schools engagement program.

First we need to raise money to fit it out. As you are no doubt feeling, interest rates have fallen significantly resulting in a much lower return on our investments. Generating the income required is an ongoing challenge.

As many of you know you can follow us online as well as in Fine Music Magazine.

We’re looking forward to reading the results of our online survey, and thank those that contributed to it. This will support our determination to best serve the lovers of classical music and jazz in Sydney.

If you’d like to discuss any aspect of Fine Music, please do give me a call. I always welcome an opportunity to discuss Fine Music on the phone or over coffee.

THE CONTINUATION OF A DREAM

Leo Schofield on Brisbane Baroque the astonishing young harpsichord virtuoso Mahan Esfahani.”

The art of the festival If there was ever anyone to ask about how one puts together an arts festival it would be Leo Schofield, having 27 of them under his belt. Does he have it down to a fine art?

“No, I’ve just gotten it down to the way I do it,” he says with typical cheekiness.

“Other people would do it completely differently and have done it completely differently. Every director puts their own stamp on a festival, for better or worse.”

Leo Schofield. Image – Joseph Byford If ticket sales are anything to go by, then people are flocking from far and wide to experience the unique baroque festival that last year found its home in Brisbane.

Having started its life as Hobart Baroque, now Brisbane Baroque, it’s the fulfilment of a dream for the organisers, Executive Director Jarrod Carland and Artistic Director Leo Schofield.

“When I’m feeling a trifle stressed, rather than drop a Valium, I put on the Goldberg Variations,” Schofield tells Fine Music.

He is a delight to speak with. His love and passion for baroque music is immediately apparent, and not just because he uses it as a substitute for calming drugs. His long and rich experiences - first as an advertising professional, and then as food critic and arts festival director extraordinaire - seep through into our conversation.

“Part of my general view of festivals is that they should be special enough to attract people from other areas, not just the host city,” he says. “I do believe that underpins most long running international festivals.”

The festival had to move from Hobart to Brisbane last year, in the space of a few months. “We seem to be specialists at doing everything in a screaming hurry,” Schofield explains.

“It was a pretty nightmarish experience, I don’t really want to have to go through it again.”

On the flipside, Schofield was excited by the reception the festival received in Brisbane.

“We had 1,250 people turn up to an organ recital on the last midday concert.”

The inaugural event in April 2015 was an exceptional success, with the central performance of Handel’s rare opera Faramondo garnering no fewer than five Helpmann Awards including Best Opera and Best Direction in an Opera.

“I find Brisbanites open to anything new and anything exciting. When my colleague Ian Macrae and I brought the Hamburg Ballet to Brisbane, the repertoire was Midsummer Nights Dream, which we knew would be a pretty big hit because people are familiar with the music. But as a second ballet we brought one that nobody had heard of, or seen in Australia, called Nijinsky, and that was the smash of the season.”

So what can those making the pilgrimage for Brisbane Baroque 2016 expect that’s new and exciting?

Schofield is quick to provide an answer: “Something they’re never going to hear in Sydney,” he offers.

“There’s the recital by (American virtuoso mezzo soprano) Vivica Geneaux, which is exclusive to Brisbane. They can hear Handel’s Agrippina, a concert version of King Arthur – they’re the things I’m really excited about, especially the Australian debut of

Schofield says the priorities begin with quality, especially those performers at their top of their game, those “fresh to the market” or who have never been to Australia before.

“I think that’s a really good selling point.

Primus inter pares is the quality of the artist or the group. Close behind is marketability.

You can bring in wonderful artists, but unless you have a way of promoting them or selling them, they’ll play to empty houses.”

Is there a specific ‘art’ in putting together a baroque festival?

“Essentially it’s quite easy to program a baroque festival because there is such an abundance of amazing material, most of it as yet unheard or unplayed,” says Schofield.

“That’s been the secret of the success of the baroque revival, or at least the historically informed theme.”

And perhaps the way such music was originally performed may have something to do with the success of Brisbane Baroque.

“There’s just a feeling of authenticity about the early sound, it’s more intimate,” says Schofield.

‘QUEEN OF AUSTRIA’ SPEAKS TO FINE MUSIC

Ahead of sso’s mardi gras spectacular

Conchita Wurst (often known simply as Conchita) was in Australia last year for the release of her album and she recounts mentioning in several interviews that she had a dream of singing at the Sydney Opera House.

“I had a little career as Tom and while performing I never felt quite as comfortable as I knew I could feel,” said Conchita, referring to her male ‘self’.

”

“And lucky me,” she tells Fine Music’s Andrew Bukenya by phone from Vienna, Austria. “When I said that I more thought of it as a joke, I mean I’m a bearded drag queen, I thought ‘sure they want me to sing there, of course!’

“I’m intimidated, I’m scared, I’m nervous,” she says.

Visiting Australia in early March, Conchita will perform with local luminaries in a headline event as part of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.

“It’s just overwhelming, as a singer this on my bucket list… I mean this is on the bucket list of every singer in the whole entire world.

Everybody wants to perform at the Sydney Opera House. “I am so, so honoured, I can’t wait, I’m so excited, I have a symphonic orchestra supporting me.

“Obviously what I need to do is, I’m going to penetrate the audience with as much Shirley Bassey as I possibly can.”

She says, on an artistic level, “I know I was born with certain talent but I’ve always had to work very hard to reach a level of professionalism in what I do.

“I’m not a genius in anything,” says Conchita.

“I know I’m a pop singer and I do enjoy what I do… but my heart beats for orchestra.”

In terms of her performance with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Conchita will perform material from her self-titled album as well as some of her “favourites”.

”

Of her collaborators in this Sydney performance, Conchita is an admirer of their work and thinks it makes for a special event to have them all come together on one night.

“I wanted to make people laugh but actually I meant it,” she said.

Now that the time is drawing near for the Eurovision Song Contest winner, dubbed by international media the ‘Queen of Austria’, to make her debut at Sydney’s iconic venue, how does she feel?

I always wanted to be a diva on stage

Conchita Wurst.

And of course, she will use her time on stage to help answer the many questions audiences often have about her personae.

It helps that she sees her life “as a musical”, where “I need a song for every situation I’m in”.

“I’m aware of the fact that it’s a very strong image to be a bearded lady so it’s easy to get stuck with the ‘look’ as a member of the audience.

“And when I actually open my mouth and something comes out that they like, it’s so beautiful to see that they’re actually surprised,” said Conchita, adding that she hopes to delight Sydney audiences in this way.

When it comes to classical music, Conchita admits she does take the opportunity to “show off” a little by drawing association with the rich musical heritage of her homeland.

However, her musical influences are more from the popular catalogue.

“I first listened to ‘Goldfinger’ when I was about eight years’ old and I did not have a clue who that was… it just touched me,” she says, adding that Shirley Bassey’s was just one of the numerous “big female voices” that inspired her both personally and professionally.

“I always wanted to be a diva on stage and therefore I created one.

“We are singing ridiculously great songs,” says Conchita. “It will be a concert where you can truly enjoy each and every moment… I picture myself as a member of the audience and I’m just so excited, but then I find out that I actually have to sing!”

She promises: “It will be the campest thing you’ve ever seen in your entire life”. What more could we ask for?

- Andrew Bukenya EVENT Conchita From Vienna with Love 3 March Sydney Opera House Artists: Conchita Wurst; Courtney Act; Trevor Ashley; Paul Capsis With the song Rise Like a Phoenix, Conchita Wurst took the world by storm with her victory in the 2014 Eurovision song-contest.

AUSTRALIA’S RISING STAR OF THE OPERA

Soprano nicole car able to learn so much not just about the music but other aspects of performance.

EE: Recently you were involved with a joint collaboration of Eugene Onegin between Opera Australia and Covent Garden. Was that a big learning curve for you?

Nicole Car Young singer of the moment Nicole Car, originally from Victoria and a family where music played an important role, tells Fine Music about her musical experiences and aspirations. She thought at one time that she might actually make her way in life as a professional jazz singer. However, during her teenage years Car was very much influenced by opera especially after attending a performance of Tosca. And it was the theatricality of what she experienced that drew her to becoming an opera singer.

In the middle of a hectic rehearsal period, Car took time out to speak with Fine Music’s Emyr Evans.

EE: I understand that your first major role was in 2009 performing Donna Anna in Victorian Opera’s Don Giovanni. How was that experience for you?

NC: Well I had a wonderful time. Richard Gill had started the Opera Company and he was a great source of support to me. He was anxious to help me develop my voice and we toured and performed Britten’s Noye’s Fludde where I took the lead role of Mrs Noye. A year later we performed The Snow Queen based on a very cute story about a lost child. All of this was a great experience for me and I was

NC: Performing Tatyana opposite Siberian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky was indeed a thrilling experience and a very taxing role to play for a young singer especially when you consider the amount of time she spends on stage. And I’m looking forward to a continuation of similar collaborations. The involvement has an excellent effect on getting better known which means that my diary is looking very busy.

EE: In addition to stage performances you’ve been involving yourself with non operatic roles like Brahms’ Requiem, Mahler’s Das Klagende Lied and Bach’s St John’s Passion.

How important do you think it is to vary your style and repertoire?

NC: I don’t try and label my singing into any particular mode and I believe it’s important to embrace all types of repertoire.

EE: Apart from the launch of The Kiss what else do you have in the pipeline?

NC: I’d like to consider recording works by some of the French composers – Fauré, Charpentier, Duparc and Saint-Saens.

- Emyr Evans

EE: This year you’re singing in the sublime Cosi Fan Tutte but also performing Luisa Miller for the first time with Opera Australia - how do you prepare for such a demanding role?

NC: The opera is being rehearsed currently and I want to emphasise the great support I’m receiving from working with the cast.

Apart from a daily ritual of physical exercise I work hard learning the basic requirements of the part - phrasing requires proper shaping, best breath control and correct dynamic levels all contributing to an impressive musical performance. The character and the stagecraft have to be studied. And of course the relationship with the director and conductor is of paramount performance.

EE: You’ve done a lot of travelling and won many awards for the power and timbre of your voice… you must have been told dozens of times about your incredible breath control. Tell me how do you look after your voice?

NC: I just have to be careful of the various atmospheres and temperatures that one normally experiences and I have to fly Business Class too!

The Kiss Last month, Nicole Car unveiled her debut album The Kiss which includes some sterling performances with the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, conducted by Andrea Molino. The CD’s title is taken from the name of the rarely recorded lullaby by Smetana from the opera Hubicka. Amongst the passionate gems on this CD are Gounod’s Jewel Song, Puccini’s They Call me Mimi, Tchaikovsky’s Tatyana’s Letter Scene, Verdi’s Come in quest’ora bruna, Bizet’s Carmen and Dvorak’s Rusalka.

AUSTRALIAN HAYDN ENSEMBLE & SARA MACLIVER

A beautiful world of baroque

Soprano Sara Macliver If one had to come up with words to describe the music of Luigi Boccherini (1743–1805), ‘beautiful’ would certainly be among them.

This month, renowned Australian soprano Sara Macliver, will join members of the Australian Haydn Ensemble in a performance

of works by Boccherini and Mozart, including the Stabat Mater G532 for soprano and string quintet.

For Macliver, the opportunity for collaboration came about whilst working alongside Skye McIntosh (Principal Violin and Artistic

Director) and James Eccles (Viola) at Brisbane Baroque and through association with Pinchgut Opera.

“I’m really looking forward to performing a couple of works with an intimate orchestration,” Macliver tells Fine Music. “I have done the Boccherini before, and did it with two cellos. This time, they’re doing it as Boccherini intended, with a cello and a double bass. It’ll be really fascinating to see what that sonority and colour does to the whole texture of the music, because it will be so different, and it’s such a spectacular piece.

I’m not sure why’s it’s not performed more often really, because it’s just so beautiful”.

Macliver, who is most well known for her performances of baroque music, has a great love of the period that she is renowned for.

“I have to say, without a doubt, performing the Baroque repertoire is my favourite. It just resonates so clearly with me. There’s the obvious fact that it suits my voice, but I think actually having now sung many different styles, it has probably informed my baroque practice even more,” she says.

Come feel the music...

Sounds like paradise.

She continues: “Bach, for example, is just about the ultimate to performthe complexity of the music, and his ability to take us somewhere that we don’t necessarily think we’re goingthere’s nothing predictable about it”.

Drama and energy

Members of the Australian Haydn Ensemble Macliver believes the dramatic power of baroque music is often underestimated: “And the freedom that you get with baroque music, particularly the opportunity you have for ornamentation, and the complexity of it is very attractive”.

Audiences attending these concerts may not be familiar with some of the works in the program, particularly the Boccherini Stabat Mater- a work of incredible energy and pathos.

“There’s always the hope that you will bring something to people that they will truly love and be moved by,” says Macliver. “It’s hard not to be moved by the text, because it’s from the perspective of a mother at the loss of her child, so I think that resonates quite strongly.

“Boccherini was such a brilliant cellist, and he writes incredibly well for strings, but also really well for the voice. He brings a real sense of drama and energy to the music,” said Macliver, adding that she hopes the performance takes people on a journey.

“There’s a conversation that goes on between the soprano and cello, and it’s a really lovely line - where the soprano finishes, the cello

takes off and vice versa,” Macliver says.

Looking further to the year ahead, the soprano has a full line-up including some stand-out performances.

“I’m singing with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in the St Matthew Passion as part of the Festival of Voices. I’m singing a Bach program with the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra, and two performances with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra- the Vivaldi Gloria and the St John Passion,” says Macliver, adding that she’s excited to be travelling all over the country.

This month’s performance of Beautiful Boccherini is set to be an intimate and moving experience featuring some rarely performed baroque and classical masterpieces.

YOUNG VIRTUOSI

Broadcasts of yva semi-finalists begin Fine Music 102.5 will commence broadcasts of the 17 semi-finalists in the 2016 Young Virtuoso Awards from 2 March. There will be five performers featured in this month’s program including Julie Kim, Paul Cheung, Bradley Lucas, Alexander Yau and James Morley.

On offer are cash prizes, live-to-air broadcasts and a chance to perform with the North Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the North Sydney Youth Symphony.

Julie Kim – Harp Julie Kim, 21, began playing the harp at age six, studying for the past 12 years under Louise Johnson, Principal Harp with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

A former MLC music scholarship recipient, Kim is in her final year of the Bachelor of Music (Performance, Harp) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Kim has performed several times as Second Harp with the SSO and with the Australian Ballet Opera Orchestra which were her highlights to date.

She tells Fine Music: “I entered the Young Virtuoso Award because I want to assess my abilities as a musician against the very brightest musicians in the country. I am eager to mix with and share experiences with other young Australian musicians. To be selected as a finalist would be a very special moment in my young career and an overwhelming experience”.

She believes the harp is a unique instrument which is conventionally seen either as a classical orchestral accompaniment or the “plaything of baby angels amongst the clouds”.

“Harp pieces offer a unique variety of playing styles, harmonies and melodies which I feel aren’t offered by other instruments,” says Kim. “I have always selected classical, romantic and modern styles as part of my repertoire that offer a unique aural experience. I hope that my participation in the Award will play a small role in bringing the harp into the mainstream.”

Paul Cheung Piano Paul Cheung, 23, has completed postgraduate studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where he held multiple scholarships.

He has studied piano with Tamara Anna Cislowska and accompaniment with David Miller AM. In addition to his experience as a much sought after accompanist, Cheung has also achieved considerable success as a solo pianist winning many prestigious competition prizes including, in 2010, being a runner-up of this Award.

Some of Cheung’s performance highlights have been in working with and accompanying many instrumentalists and singers, playing a concerto movement in the Sydney Town Hall with chamber orchestra, and performing with musicians of the SSO fellowship in a large ensemble in the SOH Utzon Room.

Kinmont (Associate Principal Trombone, SSO) where he is currently undertaking a Masters of Music Performance (Research).

Bradley has performed with the Australian International Symphony Orchestra Institute, with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and as a chamber musician with the Sydney Ophicleide Quartet performing at the Sydney International Brass Festival and in the first live to air Ophicleide radio broadcast on Fine Music 102.5 in 2015.

He says: “Performing with the SSO is definitely a highlight of mine. Playing in large ensembles is such an amazing experience, and when it is with an orchestra of the standard of the SSO, it is even more special.

Playing with the Sydney Ophicleide Quartet too is a fun and rewarding experience.

“I entered the YVA to challenge myself.

Without something to work towards it can often be hard to motivate yourself to practise.

But also the opportunity to perform and audition is invaluable to young musicians.

Getting through to the finals would mean that the practice paid off,” said Lucas.

Aside from piano-playing, Cheung is also interested in mathematics. In 2008, he was a silver medallist at the International Mathematical Olympiad in Madrid. At the age of 19, he commenced his PhD in mathematics at the University of Sydney after being awarded a BSc (adv. maths), with first class honours and the University Medal.

The Euphonium is often unheard, and so to have the opportunity to perform it is always special according to Lucas. It is often the first time the audience has heard the instrument being played. “Composers like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Brahms never wrote for our instrument, so Euphoniumists have to rely heavily on composers who may be lesser known.

Cheung said: “Having spent most of the last three years focusing on accompaniment/ chamber repertoire I really wanted to enter the YVA again to try to extend and motivate myself to re-learn some of the wonderful works in the solo piano repertoire”.

“In my program I have works from English composer Martin Ellerby, Romanian/French Composer Vladimir Cosma, American composer Jan Bach, and for my Australian piece a composition by Brendan Collins.”

Alexander Yau Piano Alexander Yau, 20, began piano lessons at the age of six. He studied with Elizabeth Powell and was awarded his LMusA piano with distinction in Year 9. Yau is continuing his scholarship studies with Daniel Herscovitch for a

Bachelor of Music Performance degree at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Yau has not only won numerous first prizes at eisteddfods, been a finalist in the John Allison/Henderson Piano Scholarship and the NSW Secondary Concerto Competition, recorded with both Fine Music and ABC Classic FM and has toured as a soloist with the SBS Youth Orchestra.

Yau says, “Touring as a soloist with the SBS Youth Orchestra playing Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto, receiving third prize, Best Mozart Prize and Best Australian Work Prize in the Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition held in Brisbane, and also playing Rachmaninov’s 1st Piano Concerto with QSO, were definitely some of my performance highlights.

“I entered the YVA to allow me to reach a wider audience, to help me develop as a performing artist and musician and for the experience of working with audio engineers in a recording session for radio broadcasts that the YVA offers,” he said.

Morley was involved in the Adelaide Youth Orchestra (AdYO) programs, Adelaide Art Orchestra and in the Australian Youth Orchestra (AYO)’s programs as principle cello, winning multiple awards in eisteddfods. He was a soloist in the Adelaide International Cello Festival, a recitalist as part of the National Youth Concerto Competition and proceeded to the finals of both the 2016 Australian Chamber Orchestra Emerging Artist program and Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellowship auditions.

Morley says: “Performing highlights for me include the privilege of participating in numerous AYO programs over the years, including the International Tour of 2013 and the upcoming 2016 tour.

James Morley – Cello

He says influences in his development as a musician have occurred when he has been listening to others perform, as opposed to when he is performing.

James Morley, 19, has been learning cello for 10 years, currently a scholarship student with Julian Smiles at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

“It can affect the way I think about ‘interpretations’ of musical works, and what it means to play uniquely and more effectively… on ways of playing, solo or

with others, in ways that truly grab listeners without having to merely display technical brilliance.

“I entered the YVA for a working goal and performance experience. Judging from the exceptional standard of musicians entering in previous years I am excited about my participation and for my first time playing a solo recital on radio,” said Morley.

La Musique, la Musica promises a smouldering night of French and Latin music and song with Toronto based cabaret singer Patricia O’Callaghan and French concert pianist Francois Gassion.

O’Callaghan and Gassion join forces to bring you a diverse repertoire from the tangos of Piazzolla to the parlour songs of Piaf (with a dash of Leonard Cohen, befitting a Canadian songstress). Billboard Magazine has described O’Callaghan as: “a truly exceptional blend of natural expressiveness and masterful coloration… the most promising cabaret performer of her generation”. From his base in Paris, Gassion performs throughout Europe, Asia and South America and has become renowned for his interpretation of the work of Piazzolla, di Giusto and other Latin composers. This will be a night of exceptional piano and song for lovers of French and Latin culture. flute and guitar duo, Flutarre.

This music follows the lead of Beethoven’s Pastoral but in a world where forests are fed to wood chippers and the urban landscape encroaches on the natural one. Subtle, visionary music by Gérard Grisey from the 1990s uses texts by GuezRicord to play out in turn the deaths of the angel, civilisation, the voice and humanity.

Arnold Schoenberg’s masterful string sextet Verkärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) is an early work reflecting this composer’s interest and mastery of late Romantic musical idioms. Inspired by a poem of the expressionist poet, Richard Dehmel, it is notable for its restless expression of highly emotional states in a musical language

that would soon make way for a radical departure in style. It is a sumptuous work in a program devoted to illustrations of contrasts between day and night, beginning with Joaquín Turina’s Circulo suggesting the cyclical aspects of a day passing into night.

It is easy to forget that this young fellow is just 20 years of age, yet he expresses himself nonchalantly throughout this work which ebbs and flows yet remains connected through a seemingly endless fondue of silky smooth textures combining endlessly with an array of colour and sonority. He delivers along similar lines Schumann’s two shorter works for Piano and Orchestra.

Formed in 2005, The Clarinotts are a trio of principal clarinets from the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics – a father and his two sons: Ernst, Daniel and Andreas Ottensamer.

Another father and son, Heinrich and Carl Bärmann, did much to raise the solo status of their instrument and one of their great admirers, Mendelssohn, wrote them several pieces; among which is the typically urbane Konzerstuck No. 1 featured here.

fire in the performer. Both works are quite a contrasting pair, however Jansen really marries the two together, merging innocence, fantasy and excitement in one beautiful work with the orchestra. The first movement of the Brahms’ Concerto opens up a magical world, as Jansen displays a solid command of the great work. Her clarity and nuance from the solo parts give rise to the passionate crescendos and flowering phrases needed in any work of Brahms. .Jansen pairs the previous work with Bartok, a huge contrast which surprisingly worked. Its quirky and unpredictable nature drew my ears more and more with each listening.

This album brings together two diverse masterworks from two giants of Russian music – Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto and Stravinsky’s Les Noces – and presents the exhilarating fruits of a first musical collaboration between Currentzis and violinist Kopatchinskaja. Known for their instinctive and ground-breaking interpretations across an extensive range of musical eras, Currentzis, Kopatchinskaja and MusicAeterna have performed together several times since this first project and consistently garnered audience and critical acclaim. The album presents a rare masterwork, Stravinsky’s Les Noces. Written for solo voices, choir, pianos and percussion, the work celebrates a peasant Mozart loved the clarinet and would no doubt listen fondly to the arrangement of the Trio from Cosi fan Tutte (Soave sia il vento) – displaying the clarinet’s legato side.

By contrast, Doppler’s Fantasie on themes from Rigoletto and Rossini’s La Danza give vent to the more agile, slyly rebellious nature of the ‘ebony one’. Manhã de Carnaval by Luiz Bonfá is burdened by some clunky piano but the improvisation from the reed players pushes the tune in new directions.

Currentzis again employs the authentic Russian folkloric influences that were central to his recent interpretation of Le Sacre du printemps and which he considers fundamental to understanding Stravinsky’s music. The native Russian-speakers that make up the exceptional MusicAeterna choir (“This miraculous ensemble” – Süddeutsche Zeitung) also bring another level of understanding and authenticity to this most Russian of Stravinsky’s works. Les Noces reunites Currentzis and MusicAeterna with Belarusian soprano Nadine Koutcher, who also featured on their 2014 release Rameau – The Sound of Light and was in 2015 crowned BBC Cardiff Singer of the World.

More than 50 years ago when the English publication Jazz Journal was at its peak, it ran a series of articles if my memory serves me correctly called “How Do They Age So Well” referring to veteran musicians who still had so much to offer musically. This thought crossed my mind when listening to the then 88-year-old Jimmy Heath on guitarist Dave Stryker’s tribute to Stryker’s former boss, the tenor player Stanley Turrentine known as Mister T or Sugar, with whom he played from 1986-95.

Duke Ellington’s In A Sentimental Mood.

Unrushed and elegant it exemplifies to perfection one of the Duke’s many timeless melodies. He shares the spotlight with another octogenarian, Houston Person, whose series of albums for the HighNote label have given me countless hours of listening pleasure. The lively LA Place Street with its shuffle rhythm grooves is an ideal platform for his fat, warm tone anchored in the blues. The title refers to the block Turrentine grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Of the others, the best is probably Chris Potter who combines with Stryker on a burning, uptempo version of John Coltrane’s Impressions. Although the emphasis may have been in the tenors, the album’s success owes much to the rhythm

section, the admirable Stryker, Jared Gold at the Hammond organ and drummer McLenty Hunter, who shine as either accompanists or soloists. This a soulful tribute straight from the heart.

Featuring the same quartet as his bestselling, triple Australian Jazz Bell Award winning This Is Always album, but recorded live at The Sound Lounge for SIMA by Fine Music presenter Peter Nelson, Julien Wilson’s This Narrow Isthmus is one also one of the final recordings of the late great drummer Allan Browne who died in June 2015. Where This Is Always was all ballads and standards this album leans towards the blues with all original compositions written especially for the group by the band’s irrepressible saxophonist leader in 2014. This recording comes from what was the fourth of only five shows that the quartet ever played together and the only performance that was recorded. Sadly there will be no more. Outstanding tracks include Rainman and Bernie, deriving inspiration

from the works of Billy Strayhorn and the late iconic Australian saxophonist Bernie McGann. These are exceptionally deep and truly contemplative ballads superbly played

by Wilson’s weeping tenor accompanied by the glistening arpeggios on grand piano by Barney McAll. Another stand out is Weeping Willow, opening with the authoritative bass of Jonathan Zwartz and Browne’s cymbals and drums then racily progressing with tenor and grand piano into something more pleasingly bluesy than its inspirational companion Willow Weep For Me. Captured here is a band of Australian musicians at the height of their game on a quality recording that is a must have for all lovers of contemporary improvisation.

States in 1981 - and what a triumphant homecoming. Recorded in Sao Paulo last year, it covers a wide spectrum of music as the pianist-vocalist pays tribute to three generations of great Brazilian songwriters - Ary Barosso, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Roberto Mescal - and by adding six of her compositions, all melodically memorable, she gives the set a contemporary feel. The string arrangements on seven tracks, dense and lush, were recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at the city’s famous Abbey Road Studios. Brazilian music is much more diverse than just bossa nova as popularised by Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto as Elias admirably demonstrates by blending old and new forms with an all-star cast including her talented daughter Amanda

Brecker and Ed Motta. Brisk or brassy, as in Frank Sinatra’s famous recording with Billy May, are the usual treatments for Barosso’s famous 1939 composition but Elias’ dreamy re-harmonisation of Brasil (Aquarela do Brasil) makes it the outstanding track, closely followed by a memorable version of Jobim’s Aguas do Marco (Waters Of March) where she is backed by the vocal textures of New York’s Take 6 whose chief arranger, Mark Kibble, joins her on the passionate Incendiendo and the playful Driving Ambition. Her ability to seamlessly switch from Portuguese to English as she blends American jazz with Brazilian rhythms makes this an enchanting album.

SWINGING ON THE VINE Woody’s last great herd

Woody Herman

Like the weather in my Hunter Valley hideaway , the music is hot as I tap my foot and nod my head while New Orleans trumpet great Henry “Red” Allen storms through Ride Red Ride from a 1957 session with Coleman Hawkins, Buster Bailey and J.C. Higginbotham. Reaching for another bottle, I turn to Big J and remark: “Those were the days my friend.” At the sound of my voice, Big J raises his head from his bowl of red wine and nods in agreement.

But what made the success of this Herd even more outstanding was the then economic state of the music business. It was an era when Quincy Jones found the fastest way into debt was to have a big band and Gerry Mulligan’s great Concert Jazz Band, when it was together and worked, had to rely on touring overseas to make money. So how was Herman’s success accomplished?

The band’s pianist and arranger Nat Peirce summed it up in one word - Woody. “It’s because of him. If there are so few big bands (today), it’s because there are so few professional bandleaders. Woody’s a pro.

Being a professional bandleader involves knowing when to let a guy play because he’s playing exceptionally well. Some leaders might not like to see their sidemen getting a lot of applause. Woody’s delighted.

He appreciates what we’re doing, and he lets us know. The guys appreciate him and respect him. So they work all the harder.”

This probably sums up why many consider Herman the greatest of all the white big band leaders.

Allen led the house band for many years at the legendary jazz club the Metropole Café at 7thAvenue and 48th Street in New York. It had a jazz policy from the 1950’s until 1965 when it turned to strippers; the patrons no doubt found the long bandstand behind the bar a perfect stage for the “artistes.” I gaze thoughtfully into space: How could a big band cope with playing on that 40-foot long platform?

My aim in 2016 is to track down the music of this magnificent band and revel again in its remarkable power and its soloists who included trumpeter Bill Chase, trombonist Phil Wilson and tenor saxophonist Sal Nistico - and the greatest and most emotional version of A Taste Of Honey, recorded on the day JFK was assassinated. Herman ended the session after this one track.

On the left were the four saxophones; then the rhythm section; next were the trumpets, five of them, and finally the three trombones - all gazing at their reflections on a mirrored wall directly across from them. From this uncomfortable position it seemed unlikely they would be able to hear one another, let alone play like a well-oiled machine. But they did and for nine weeks in 1963 which kept the standing room only crowds in a fever-pitch of excitement.

- Patrick D.Maguire

This band which would last from the early to mid-1960s was Woody Herman’s last great orchestra although he would have many good bands after this one. We had lost count of the number of Herman Herds after about the fifth which is probably why he told Philips Records A&R man Jack Tracey not to give it a number but just call it the Swinging Herd. Its formation seemed an appropriate way to celebrate his 25th year as a leader especially as the critics were comparing it with the bands of Duke Ellington and Count Basie!

Veteran big band writer George T. Simon in a long article in the New York Herald Tribune posed the question: “What is so outstanding about this particular Herd?’’

He then proceeded to answer it: “First of all, it has the almost forgotten sort of pulsating ensemble sound and drive that makes you want to cheer. The arrangements are exciting. The brass is brilliant.

The trumpets blast as one. They blow high, but they’re accurate, and they get a great blend. The saxophones are loose and easy.

“And the rhythm section - well, if there’s one reason why this Herd stands out from among all the rest, it’s because of the rhythmic trio’s fantastic, swinging drive… in Jake Hanna, Woody has the most propulsive big band drummer to emerge on the jazz scene in years.

The way he drives everything before him (with valuable assistance from bassist Chuck Andrus) is absolutely outstanding.”

March program highlights

Joachim Raff Fine Music, in March, has its fair share of the esoteric. With program subtitles like ‘Once famous, now faded’ and ‘Dead alas, too soon’, Sunday Special sets its stall out with admirable clarity. Meanwhile in ‘Live and Local’ we continue to follow the work of our Fine Music Kruger Scholars, with a broadcast of the concert saxophonist Nick Russoniello gave at the 2015 Bowral Autumn Music Festival, and another chance to hear recorder-player Alicia Crossley’s Duality program.

SUNDAY SPECIAL

20 March, 27 March JS Bach was less famous in his day than Telemann. Beethoven repeatedly named Cherubini as his most esteemed contemporary. Musical history is replete with such retrospective absurdities. And the list of composers even less well known than Cherubini and Telemann, who were celebrated in their day but since all but forgotten, is of considerable length.

Sunday Special, titled ‘Once famous, now faded’, looks at one of the more obscure composers to answer to that description: Joachim Raff.

Raff’s 72 years roughly spanned the 19th century. A German of Swiss birth, he was a largely self-taught musician, and from the outset pursued composition, rather than performing, as a career. He must have had considerable self-belief, because he sent some of his piano compositions to Felix Mendelssohn who was impressed and recommended them to his publisher.

That began a career that saw Raff become one of the most celebrated composers of

his time, as well as teacher and inspiration to many we remember today far better than him. Robert Schumann reviewed him favourably and the conductor Hans von Bulow befriended him. As the first director of the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt he employed Clara Schumann to teach, creating a class specifically for women composers.

Composers he personally taught included Alexander Ritter and Edward MacDowell, who edited the Romeo and Juliet overture that starts our program. His vast output included eleven symphonies, which are a sumptuous blend of classical and baroque influences, yet adorned with descriptive titles which advertise their Romantic programmatic structure. In this Sunday Special you will hear the third of those symphonies, titled In the Forest. It’s a chance to listen to the music that was held in such esteem by so many luminaries, and to ponder why posterity has treated it so harshly.

The Sunday Special, entitled ‘Dead, alas, too soon’, tells a story all too familiar to lovers of music – that of the shining musical talent, cut off in, or before its prime. Schubert, Mozart, Pergolesi spring to mind, but not many, at least since the days of the plague, have died as young as Guillaume Lekeu, who caught typhoid fever from a dodgy sorbet and died in 1894 the day after his 24th birthday.

Nick Russoniello

As the archetype of the brilliant talent cut short, Lekeu was the real deal. He was of Belgian birth, and his first studies in piano and theory took place in provincial Belgium.

He composed his first piece at the age of 15, and at 18 moved with his parents to Paris, where prominent among the many influences that directed his development was that of Cesar Franck, under whom Lekeu studied counterpoint and fugue. He was beginning, at the tender age of 18, to move in exalted circles that included Vincent d’Indy, who taught him orchestration and encouraged him to enter the Prix de Rome.

Aged 21, he managed second prize with his cantata Andromede, and he was honoured

by Eugene Ysaye with a commission, the Violin Sonata in D Minor which forms the centrepiece of the program, and is the work for which he is best remembered.

Live and Local

Thursdays, 8pm ‘Live and Local’ in March features several names that are dear to Fine Music listeners.

Nick Russoniello and Alicia Crossley are winners, respectively, of the 2014 and 2015 Fine Music-Kruger Scholarships. Each has shown a commitment to expanding the repertoire for their instrument, and Fine Music’s sound technicians have been dogging their footsteps, recording performances in and around Sydney as their careers progress. ‘Live and Local’ on 10 March brings a recording from last year’s Bowral Autumn Music Festival, in which Nick performs his own composition, The New South. He shares the program with Fine Music Artist-in-residence The Acacia Quartet, who demonstrate their versatility with works from Kreisler, Dvorak and Mozart.

Recorder-player Alicia Crossley was our 2015 Fine Music Kruger Scholar, and had a busy year of it, putting her scholarship to the best possible use. Among the highlights was her collaboration with American harpist Emily Granger, culminating in their Duality program which forms part 2 of ‘Live and Local’ on 17 March. The program mixes old and new with contributions from Faure and Debussy and a couple of startling pieces commissioned from friends of the duo.

Bravissimo BRV 9804 2:10 Max, a forester, loves Agathe, and to succeed her father, Kuno, as head forester, a test of marksmanship is required. Max loses in the target practice. Kaspar persuades Max to cast seven magic bullets which will kill anything the shooter wants. Kaspar, whose soul is to be forfeited to the devil on the following

day, hopes to substitute Max in his place.

Max, fearing he will lose Agathe if he loses the contest, goes with Kaspar at midnight to the terrible Wolf’s Glen to cast the magic bullets. Kaspar calls upon Samiel, the Black Huntsman, and when Max arrives, Samiel conjures up the shape of Agathe drowning herself, despairing at Max’s lack of success, whereupon Max begins the casting of the bullets. Agathe dreams of ill omens. The hermit tells Agathe that her bridal wreath will protect her from danger. The bridesmaids arrive with the bridal wreath but when the box is opened, it is a funeral wreath. Max and Kaspar divide the bullets between them. Kaspar deliberately uses his last bullet leaving Max with the seventh which is controlled by the Evil One. As Max fires at a target, Samiel guides the bullet so that it is aimed at Agathe. Her bridal wreath deflects the bullet which strikes Kaspar. Samiel grasps him instead of Max, whereupon Kaspar expires with a curse upon his lips. Prince Ottokar, on learning about the magic bullets, pronounces the sentence of banishment on Max. The hermit pleads for Max saying that if he lives a faultless life, he should gain forgiveness and be permitted to marry Agathe after one year. The Prince agrees.

AGRIPPINA: Alexandrina Pendatchanska, sop NERONE: Jennifer Rivera, mez POPPEA: Sunhae Im, sop OTTONE: Bejun Mehta, ct CLAUDIO: Marcos Fink, bass-bar Academie für Alte Musik, Berlin/René Jacobs.

Harmonia Mundi HMC 902088 3:22 Believing her husband Emperor Claudius has died, Agrippinia plots to install Nerone, son of her first marriage, on the throne. But Claudius has been saved by his general Ottone and has promised him the throne. Agrippina discovers that Ottone, loving Poppaea, does not want to rule. Knowing Claudius also desires Poppaea, Agrippina tells her that Ottone has promised her to Claudius in order to get the throne and Poppaea, furious at this treachery, confronts Claudius.

But seeing Ottone’s grief, she suspects he is innocent and reveals Agrippina’s plot.

Nerone then declares his love for her, while Agrippina convices Claudius to punish Ottone by giving Nerone the throne. Poppaea, reconciled with Ottone, hides him in her bedroom, where Nerone arrives to woo her, only to be overheard by Claudius, whom she has also concealed. Nerone is punished, the two lovers rejoice and Claudius thwarts Agrippina’s plot by remaining emperor.

Chandos CHAN 9451 2

On a fictional island, newly governed by a Council of Women, three Council members, Tulia, Cinyia and Aurora, consider whether new laws are required to prevent men regaining power. Each displays control over her male lover: Aurora’s lover Graziosino is busy with domestic chores; Cintia capitalises on Giacinto’s delusion that he is handsome and irresistible; Tulia takes a less demanding approach with her lover, Rinaldino. Aurora also wooes Giacinto, sparking confronation with Cintia. The Council decides to establish a monarchy through a vote but none attains a majority. A boatload of men arrives. One of them, Ferramonte, declares that he will never be subject to a woman. Cintia entices Giacinto to agree to kill with a sword the first hundred women he sees. The first is Aurora, who dissuades him and entices him to reveal Cintia as the instigator. Aurora then passes the sword to Graziosino and urges him to kill Cintia. Neither man is keen about his assigned task and the two women survive.

Ferramonte convinces Rinaldo to overthrow the female regime. Rinaldo saves Tulia from danger and she yields to him. Both the other women also set aside their power struggles to live in peace with their lovers.
