This issue’s cover story brings you a close look at Miloš Karadaglic – a classical guitarist who has taken the world by storm. Touring Australia this November and December, the 28-year-old has been hailed the champion for a new generation of classical virtuosi. Talking with him from Chicago, writer Sue McCreadie finds the Montenegrin warm and charming as he recounts his journey from a war-torn homeland to international acclaim.

Simon Tedeschi loves stirring the pot. And, in this ‘Simon Says’ column, he puts tongue-in-cheek to tell us what a concert pianist hates to be asked after a concert. On a more serious note, Simon reveals how physically and emotionally draining a recital can be. The picture with the story was interestingly enough taken by his father, Mark Tedeschi. Well known in the legal world, the senior Tedeschi is also a widely exhibited photographer. In ‘Postcard from Berlin,’ conductor Carolyn Watson recounts a most unusual operatic encounter. Winning the Opera Foundation Australia’s 2012 Berlin Award led her to Germany where she worked on composer John Cage’s Europeras. Among other aspects of the experience, she tells how the conductor was defined as a clock on the wall! The volunteer presenters who bring you fine music all day every day are a heterogeneous bunch. In the mix you’ll find TV producers, DJs, lawyers, an ex-cabby, a martial arts instructor, engineer, PhD student, mathematician, investment banker and even an erotic novelist. In this issue you’ll meet one of those colourful characters. Andrew Bukenya is a dynamo of diverse interests. One of the station’s youth content and opera presenters, he speaks fluent Japanese, he’s an actor, model, conductor, DJ and more. Andrew talks about his multi-faceted involvement in music and defines the music that moves him.

FINE MUSINGS Memo to: Simon Tedeschi

ANGELA HEWITT Plays Mozart Angela Hewitt, acclaimed for her radiant interpretations, plays Mozart’s D minor piano concerto - turbulent and dramatic.

Re August issue – ‘Simon Says - Sorry Folks: This ‘Ere Ain’t Contemporary Music.’ I do agree with you re the ABC’s Top 100 Works of the Twentieth Century. The problem is aren’t you yourself wearing your cardigan in recitals these days? The last time I heard you play live was at one of the Sydney Spring Festivals! Please lead the way by doing recitals of music by Xenakis, Kagal, Boulez (the 3 Piano Sonatas), Rihm, Stockhausen (the Klavierstücke) and even Sorabji. If you do, I’ll be the first to buy a ticket and I have friends who would also attend – and many of us wear cardigans. - Dan MacLeod

All the Way from Pennsylvania, USA On behalf of the entire Allentown Band from Pennsylvania, USA, we send our congratulations to Owen Fisher on the occasion of his 400th program on ‘Music That’s Band,’ - a milestone of which he can be justly be proud. The Allentown Band has had the good fortune to have been included as part of Owen’s programs for years, but it is a special honour for us to be featured as the exclusive band on his 400th and 401st programs. We also commend Liz Terracini, General Manager of Fine Music 102.5 for including band music as part of its regular programming. - Ronald Demkee, conductor, The Allentown Band

Simon says:

WELL MEANING QUESTIONS THAT ANNOY ME AFTER A CONCERT!

So exhausted am I after a recital that I am in a somnolent state, unable to function as a normal human being. I am unable to answer the simplest of questions with my normal alacrity. So, I thought for this month’s column, a simple manifesto of answers will have a few aims in mind: 1) to expedite the answers to most common questions 2) to prevent me from spilling orange juice or post-concert nibblies on my one black suit 3) to avoid any harm being done to any person. So, let’s jump right in that pool, shall we? When did you start showing promise at the keyboard? A tricky one. On one hand, in the grandest tradition of Australian egalitarianism, I must remain humble and politely denigrate the presupposition in the question. On the other hand, I feel I am doing myself an injustice by effectively lying to the questioner. I tend to respond with humour, à la ‘yes, but all my talent was filtered into one or two things,’ which is true but also serves to defuse a potentially lethal situation, i.e. me killing someone.

“

Dear much loved audience members,

Why are humans so “addicted to comparisons?

Who is your favourite composer? Why are humans so addicted to comparisons? Why must there be a best? This is like asking me what my mood is like on Thursdays at 5.23pm. The sum total of keyboard literature is enough to satisfy even the most prolific of pianists, such that we will never master it in ten lifetimes. As I have said before, the music will always be greater than us. Aside from this cornucopia, there is the simple matter of mood. One day I may feel angry and so will gravitate toward Beethoven’s seamier works. Before bed, my old friend dopamine will ensure that a Bill Evans’ ballad does what the doctor ordered. Bach, I feel, is the ‘greatest’ composer that ever lived, and yet his music is perhaps not my ‘personal favourite.’ These are the kind of variables that pillage my brain after being asked this well-meaning but futile question. I call it hiatus interruptus – the unwillingness to grant a performer a break from all mental activity after a huge night. Who is your favourite pianist? See above, x 3 (p.s. not Horowitz) How do you memorise? Memorising is like a language. We have all memorised English, to the point that we do not need to consciously recall every word in order to formulate a sentence - it just flows out. Similarly, the memorising of a piece has in turn been conditioned by the memorisation of a thousand other pieces. I can credit this to my teacher, Neta Maughan. Do you like Andre Rieu? No. Why don’t you go into [insert blank here] competition? Because competitions in my mind encourage conformity of interpretation and a conservative, automaton like approach to piano playing, which I am always trying to avoid (hopefully successfully). What do you do when you are not playing piano? Spend time with my loved ones and not think about piano. Do you remember me from Penrith in 1992? No. I mean, yes.

Simon Tedeschi Photo - Mark Tedeschi

Where did you get your tie from? My mother got it for me.

Do you have any rituals that you perform before playing? When younger, I always made sure that I wore my favourite socks. Nowadays, pre performance nerves combine with a weak bladder to ensure a constant stream of activity. What do you listen to mostly? Jazz, almost exclusively. What is your favourite place to perform? I always remember the Opera House in Gulgong with great nostalgia. For me, there is absolutely nothing like performing in the Australian bush. Usually, an entire community is built around a recital and has been working towards its implementation for many months. What is your favourite type of piano? The truly beautiful thing about pianos is that, even within a brand, individual instruments vary widely in tone, touch and mechanics. Much of this is down to physics, but even the most stalwart of piano technicians will readily admit to the ‘deus ex machina’ factor, something unknowable to our paltry human brains. So, when answering this question, I tend instead to answer with the piano that has, on average, provided me with the kind of aural and physical feedback that I am constantly searching for. I will, therefore, usually answer Boesendorfer, followed by Hamburg Steinways. I am also excited by the work of Australian makers such as Wayne Stuart and Ron Overs. How much do you practise? These days I practise whenever I have an important project that warrants sustained attention. I can attribute this to my almost continual practise when I was a youngster, during which time I swallowed a metronome. Like weight training, early childhood exposure to an activity will make it easier for the person to resume that activity and reach their peak level faster. Why didn’t you play [insert blank here] ? (Attempting to eat much needed sandwich and spluttering out answer simultaneously): I really wanted to play some Dittersdorf sonatas, but ran out of time. What do you like more, jazz or classical? I would give classical 9.7 out of 10, but jazz only 8.2. - Simon Tedeschi fineMusic FM 102.5

THE GUITAR’S UNLIKELY HERO Sue McCreadie talks to rising star Miloš Karadagli´c about the guitar’s reviving fortunes When I track down Miloš Karadagli´c he is on a busy promotional tour for his latest CD and just settling into his Chicago hotel room. The voice on the phone exudes warmth and charm: ‘Wow, I can’t believe someone is calling me from so far away.’ The Montenegro-born guitarist says he has fond memories of his visit to Australia last year to give master-classes and can’t wait to get back down here.

..school wanted me to do “ violin. But I thought it

“

wasn’t cool enough.

Miloš (as he is known) returns in November for a tour of five capital cities. As last year’s Gramophone Young Artist of the Year, he has been hailed as a new hero of the classical guitar. An unlikely hero perhaps given the classical guitar was almost non-existent when he was growing up in Montenegro. ‘There were no musicians in my family though I sang in a

recording of Albeniz’s Asturias. ‘It changed my life. It was cooler than any pop song I’d heard.’ He found an old guitar on top of his parent’s wardrobe, dusted it off and promptly set to work. Some five years later, barely into his teens, he was invited to perform in Paris. ‘After the (Bosnian) war the Montenegro borders were re-opened and there was a little concert in Paris with Yugoslav musicians.’ Being part of that was another life-changing experience: ‘Montenegro in the nineties was very grey. Playing in Paris was like being in a fairytale.’ Soon afterwards he took a master-class with the renowned Scottish guitarist David Russell, who suggested he go to the Royal Academy of Music. Though the notion of going from Montenegro to London seemed ‘stranger than science fiction’ he took the bold step of sending materials to the Academy, recording the tape in secret so as not to unduly alarm his family. When he was offered a scholarship he took off for London, with the family’s blessing, later graduating with first-class honours and a masters degree.

Fresh out of college he found himself playing, unusually for a guitarist, at the prestigious Lucerne Festival and one of the Deutsche producers tracked him down there. His signing by the label in 2010 represented a career milestone. ‘Deutsche is such a wonderful company,’ says Miloš. ‘It’s the dream of any artist.’ His debut CD Mediterráneo topped last year’s Classical Album Charts in England. As its title suggests, the album pays homage to his Mediterranean roots, traversing Italy, Spain and the Balkans. His second CD, Latino, released in June, includes standard Latin American repertoire by Villa Lobos, Barrios and Ponce, plus some tango pieces that he admits are deliberately outside his comfort zone. Miloš feels that after its high point in the midseventies the guitar’s status declined in the classical world to the point where it was seen as a second rate instrument. But it’s once again seen as ‘something very cool.’ Part of this is its appeal to new audiences. His recent itinerary has taken in the Royal Albert Hall on the one hand and the ‘genre blind’ Joe’s Pub in New York and London’s legendary 100 Club on the other. ‘There is so much good energy in those venues. As a kid in Montenegro I wanted to be a rock star. When I play to audiences in those venues I feel like one.’

“

I love Bach and I love twentieth century repertoire... it’s when the guitar came into its own.

“

When Miloš arrives in Australia he will be carrying a guitar made by Australian luthier Greg Smallman, whose guitars are favoured by many of the world’s leading players. While celebrated for their volume, they also have their detractors: ‘Yes, people either love them or hate them. I’ve had mine for five years and I adore it. But you know I don’t think the volume is the main thing. It’s the colour of the sound. It’s like velvet. It can be rich and beautiful and hit you right in the stomach.’ On his Australian tour we can look forward to repertoire from the Mediterranean and Latin America and perhaps a Bach suite. ‘I love Bach and I love twentieth century repertoire above all because it’s when the guitar came into its own.’ A twentieth century piece from his

Miloš Karadagli´c, Photo – Olaf Heine, Deutsche Grammaphon first CD that is very personal to him is the fourmovement Koyunbaba by the Italian composer Carlos Domeniconi. ‘It is about the sea, the Mediterranean and the whole aesthetic of my life.’ Might we hear it in concert? ‘I don’t want to give too much away, but…OK, yes.’ - Sue McCreadie

Miloš Karadagli´c’s Australian tour is 22 November to 3 December, with a Sydney concert at the City Recital Hall on 24 November. The tour is part of the Andrew McKinnon Presentations 25th Year Anniversary Series. Tickets from ticketmaster.com.au

History of The Australian Ballet

Valerie Lawson, looks back on 50 years of vivid personalities and events that have shaped the company. From the beginning, The Australian Ballet has been fuelled by the energy, enthusiasm, vivacity and athleticism of its dancers. The company’s style was influenced by the virtuosity and bravura of Colonel de Basil’s Ballets Russes companies (they toured Australia in the 1930s), the British lyricism and technical precision instilled by its first artistic director, Peggy van Praagh, and the nature of Australia itself. The vast spaces of the continent and the nation’s love of the outdoors are reflected in Australian dancers’ athletic, space-devouring movement. In the early days, glamorous guest artists were a box office asset and an inspiration to the young dancers. Erik Bruhn, the Danish prince of dancers, was the first, followed by Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, who conquered stages throughout Europe and the United States as they toured with The Australian Ballet. In one performance in Berlin, Margot and Rudi kept the audience on their feet for more than 30 minutes as they took over 60 curtain calls. Nureyev - temperamental, impossible, but extraordinary - put The Australian Ballet on the map by staging his productions of Raymonda and Don Quixote on the company, and by making a popular film version of Don Q with the dancers. The guest artists added shine, but The Australian Ballet was from the start a company

whose ranks were filled primarily with Australian dancers. Most of them trained at The Australian Ballet School, founded in 1964 with the aim of providing the company with a coherent style and its future generations of stars. The company’s repertoire reflects the influences of its seven artistic directors. Succeeding van Praagh and Helpmann was the forthright Anne Woolliams, an exceptional coach and producer of ballets, who was John Cranko’s deputy in Stuttgart. She brought to Australia his Romeo & Juliet and Onegin, insisting that every dancer in these narrative ballets was an actor too, understanding that every role, however tiny, was vital to the whole. Marilyn Jones followed Woolliams in the late 1970s. One of The Australian Ballet’s most acclaimed ballerinas, Jones was the first Australian-born artistic director of the company. She married the premier danseur Garth Welch, and their sons continued in their footsteps. Stanton and Damien Welch both danced with the company; Stanton is now the artistic director of the Houston Ballet as well as retaining his post as The Australian Ballet’s resident choreographer. In 1983, Maina Gielgud stepped into the role of artistic director. Like van Praagh, she was a visionary who lived for ballet. As a former ballerina at Sadler’s Wells Ballet and in the companies of Maurice Béjart and Roland Petit, she opened the Australian Ballet’s repertoire to the works of Béjart and many other influential Europeans, among them Jiˆrí Kylián and William Forsythe.

fineMusic FM 102.5

She was succeeded in 1996 by the Australianborn Ross Stretton, a former tap dancer whose stature and classical style led to an international ballet career in Australia and New York, where he danced with American Ballet Theatre. His seasons at The Australian Ballet showcased the works of George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp and Agnes de Mille, along with The Australian Ballet’s other Resident Choreographer, Stephen Baynes. The present artistic director, David McAllister, has spent his entire career with The Australian Ballet, graduating from The Australian Ballet School to become one of the company’s most loved principal artists before taking the reins in 2001. His tenure has been marked by a series of important commissions, including Graeme Murphy’s acclaimed reimagining of Swan Lake; Dyad 1929, by The Royal Ballet’s resident choreographer Wayne McGregor; and Waramuk – in the dark night, a collaboration with Bangarra Dance Theatre. The stars of the past, along with the company’s teachers and directors, have shaped The Australian Ballet, but it’s a company that remains committed to the future, to the new, and to its own unique Australian voice. Valerie Lawson is an author and dance historian. Luminous: Celebrating 50 Years of The Australian Ballet, shows the history of the company in a stunning collection of photographs.

Peter Sculthorpe, doyen of Australian composers, responds to the cloud-fringed seascapes of tropical waters to the immediate north of our country in music that borrows, from time to time, a song idiom from Torres Strait islanders. The distinguished Scottish-based Sally Beamish shows comparable gifts for evocative line and painterly tones in her impression of the huge vistas, wild freshness and crystalline stillness produced by the meeting-places of land and sea in her adopted country. Beethoven’s early Opus 11 trio lets us hear from a composer destined to shatter some of the existing norms of music while managing, in the meantime, to learn the language of the most musically cultivated aristocratic society in Europe and to do so in a way that is already outstanding and memorable. Schubert, justly loved for the companionableness of many of his earlier instrumental works, communicates, in contrast, in his D minor (Death and the Maiden) String Quartet, the second of his great final trio of quartets, the lyrical passion and unshackled energy of invention that place him among the first rank of composers. mood. Bela Bartók’s six String Quartets are at the pinnacle of 20th Century chamber music. Brace for a wild, white-knuckle ride as the Australian String Quartet reveal the ‘fearful symmetry’ of the Fourth Quartet, with its hair raising intensity and drama, distilled into a mere 20 minutes. The Australian String Quartet and Paul Dean will also perform for the Sydney Mozart Society on 21 September at Pymble Ladies College. Phone 9876 3815 for details.

Postcard From Berlin …the conductor [is] “defined in Cage’s score as

The genesis of John Cage’s five Europeras, his only works of the genre, is indicated by the title, that is, the combination of ‘Euro’ and ‘opera’. These compositions all share a common conceptual basis and are structured in a similar vein, although a variety of forces are employed across the five works. Essentially, Cage’s Europeras are a summary, a pastiche, of some two hundred years of operatic tradition.

A seemingly grand proposal, Cage achieves his objective via a combination of characteristic innovation, encouraging individual artistic license and by tapping into the performers’ own experiences. To call on six singers, two pianists and an orchestra is not far removed from an ordinary operatic context. However Cage’s Europera 3 - a work with which I have recently become acquainted - specifies an orchestra of only six players. Even together with two pianists, a chamber ensemble of just eight players sharing musical responsibility for some two hundred years of European operatic tradition is perhaps a feat only a composer such as John Cage can manage. But precisely how?

By possibly the most obvious means available by using the record player! All six orchestral members play this same instrument, and indeed two simultaneously. Each musician is seated behind twin turntables in what is perhaps the only orchestra in the world where intonation is not a consideration. Just as well perhaps, because the conductor, defined in Cage’s score as a clock on the wall, would no doubt struggle to solve such issues.

tasks in this undertaking “ Mywere more akin to those of a DJ in a nightclub

“

The entire European opera tradition in 70 minutes? According to John Cage, the answer is a resounding ‘yes’. As the composer himself mused, ‘For two hundred years the Europeans have been sending us their operas, now I’m sending them back.’

a clock on the wall..

“

Conductor Carolyn Watson writes from Berlin on her most recent operatic experience.

And so was my initiation with Cage’s Europera 3, the composition on which I have just been working at the Staatsoper in Berlin. Most musical assistants and conductors are preoccupied with details of the score - listening for balance, textual clarity and ensemble between the stage and the pit. My tasks in this undertaking were more akin to those of a DJ in a nightclub, albeit with a great degree of mathematical precision and intense concentration. Six singers, six gramophone players and two pianists represent the total forces called for by Cage’s Europera 3. The performance instructions for all performers are based on an Ancient Chinese text, the I Ching - a text in which a series of 64 hexagram structures correspond to chance elements in the natural world. Cage’s fascination with, and use of this text is a well-known and recognisable feature of his chance compositions from the early 1950s onwards. In the recent Berlin Staatsoper production, these 64 hexagrams were depicted by numbered floor panels on the stage, about which the singers moved according to numerical directives derived from the I Ching. We, the orchestra, were placed on this same stage on which the audience also sat, intermingled with performers and performance alike in what was a very ‘up close and personal’ opera experience.

Each singer was asked to choose six arias, all of which were to be performed a capella. Cage stipulated only that the six chosen arias range from Gluck to Puccini, the same parameters to

sampled and superimposed over one another resulting in a deafening crush of sound, sort of like a semitrailer going down a hill. Way over the speed limit. Without brakes. Startling us all on first hearing, it was quite amusing to watch audience reactions every night when the semitrailer intervened on eight chance occasions – I think they honestly wondered whether a vehicle was about to crash through the wall and into the performance!

which the orchestra also adhered. Each had a score with precisely specified timings indicating the points at which they began their chosen arias. At times all six were singing at once in what constituted a very unique kind of operatic sextet - to the left one might hear an aria of Papageno, in the distance snippets of Tosca and Otello, from behind some Rossini and to the right, Wagner competing with Donizetti. Each night resulted in a different performance as the I Ching offered numerous timings and stage placement possibilities. Singers were also able to vary their chosen arias with each performance. Playing completely independently were the two pianists situated at opposite ends of the stage. Their contribution to the European opera tradition came in the form of transcriptions by Liszt and other composers – indeed, during the nineteenth century such piano transcriptions were one of the most common means via which operatic melodies became popularised. “

a singer. Our scores were a series of directions such as: ’24B p 23’– 47’’. This corresponded to LP number 24, side B, played at a piano dynamic starting at any minute and 23 seconds and ending at any minute and 47 seconds. Personal preferences were very much a feature of Cage’s chance elements - when playing ‘28A f 15’–35’’ which corresponded to Wagner’s Overture to Die Meistersingers, I must admit to indulging in a performance which lasted longer than 20 seconds, longer than a minute and twenty seconds, indeed longer than two minutes and twenty seconds. Supporting the performers on stage was an audio engineer who produced arguably the most startling performance of the evening. Excerpts from one hundred operas were

And so the opera proceeded for precisely seventy minutes, all performers keeping a close eye on the ‘conductor.’ At the seventyminute mark, the conductor stopped, all music abruptly ending and the stage plunging into darkness – a profound ending to a profound opera. - Carolyn Watson

I’m Lovin’ It! the country we both hail from) amongst some heavyweights in the field was obvious.

Actor, model, opera buff, conductor, dance party promoter, TV presenter and more! Lizzie Herbert talks with the colourful and creative Fine Music presenter Andrew Bukenya.

You might be surprised to know… I was the voice of probably one of the best known McDonald’s jingles in Japan which was ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ - a parody of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. I’m also fluent in Japanese but would really like to learn French properly.

Where I fit in… I am one of a fabtastic opera team. We present a full length opera on the first Wednesday of every month in the 8pm slot. Nineteenth century romantic orchestral music on Friday evenings also features in my schedule and, in the youth area, I’ve presented Eisteddfod programs – the chamber and choral finals.

For four years in Japan I presented a magazine program for NHK World TV which aired in 180 countries. And I’ve modeled for publications like Esquire Japan, Men’s Club and Mr Hi-Fashion.

How I came to Fine Music 102.5… Last year I stepped in for someone at relatively short notice and since then have programmed and presented operas from Monteverdi via Mozart and Handel to Gershwin and Kurt Weill. My desert island CD… The soundtracks to Tous le Matin du Mond or En Cour en Hiver. Both ignited my interest in French classical music; the former from the Baroque period and the latter with a beautiful selection of chamber music. Music that moves me… Baroque, jazz and soul - I contentedly flit between the three. I love Handel and Bach; the former because his music seems to combine the spiritual and sensual with a real sense of purpose (as I have experienced through conducting his music), and the latter because his genius shines in every single note and I always come back to his extremely soulful and deeply reflective music. Earl Wilde is a performer who stands out for me. Regret at not hearing him in concert is assuaged

After making it to final casting of ‘Out of Africa’ for the child part I missed out, but did get to meet the wonderful Sydney Pollack. I appeared in the Japanese acclaimed Brecht’s ‘Good Person of Setzchuan’ as the 3rd God. when I hear his incredible musicianship on disc. I was privileged to meet Jessye Norman and discover that she is as elegant as her music. I’m drawn by Simon Rattle’s dynamism and innate connection with complex scores and because, way back when, he let me practice in his room when I made my Glyndebourne junior chorus debut in Porgy and Bess. He gave me a few pointers along the way. My musical talents… I studied piano, flute and double bass until university, then, being a lazy pianist, opted for conducting and singing. I went on to pursue post-graduate studies as a Japanese Ministry of Education scholar in the vocal faculty of the renowned Tokyo National University of Music and Fine Arts.

Good deeds… Since 2010 I’ve organised and hosted a dance party called ‘Andrew Bukenya Presents Strictly Soul.’ It’s a little party that enables donations to worthwhile causes. My Mardi Gras Festival event has also raised money for a cancer charity. Learning from others… I love watching Fine Music presenters when I get the chance. With Julie Simonds and Peter Mitchell I can almost envisage the orchestras and bands that are in their heads squeezed into the studios. They are a joy to watch.

I was a member of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain and National Youth Chamber Choir. I’ve sung with, and conducted, The Cafe of the Gate of Salvation Gospel Choir in Sydney and directed my own ensembles as well as the London Chamber Orchestra. I’ve enjoyed interviewing...

cd reviews PIANO WORKS Svend Erik Tarp Tonya Lemoh, Piano Dacapo Records 8.226053

✶✶✶

Many of those who seek to define the music of this mostly overlooked Danish composer have fallen into the trap of using tried-andtrue adjectives whilst relying on more wellknown composers as sign-posts - and I find myself close to doing the same. The problem

is that Tarp suffers the fate of a composer who can only truly be described as ‘derivative’, which makes him mostly blind to the eye of history and also incredibly difficult to sum-up. Many commentators state that Tarp was more influenced by the French School (Les-Six) in the early part of the twentieth century than the Teutonic one of his peers. As much as anyone can be influenced by a motley aggregation of bohemians, this goes a long way in describing his music. A lot of it is light, tightly-structured and tonally conservative. It is emotive, and there are moments of piquant motivic material that makes you pay attention, but any of the ideas

you may like could have flowed from a number of different pens. The liner notes see Tarp influenced by composers ranging from Bartok to Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Rachmaninov, where other sources compare him more with Grieg, Carl Nielsen and even Ravel or Stravinsky. That oft-used yet totally ambiguous word ‘accessible’ is frequently attached to Tarp, and I’m close to doing that too, but I won’t. All-inall, this is music that is stimulating, attractive and well-written – and well played by Australianborn pianist Tonya Lemoh – so if you’re looking for that sort of thing, you won’t be disappointed in this release. – Robert Clark

✶✶✶✶ there’s some very special chemistry between the three of them.

This is the second release by cellist Imogen Manins, pianist Tony Gould and percussionist David Jones as a trio. They appear not to have a name at this point in time, but one hopes they will form a more permanent identity as an ensemble soon because this album is every bit as impressive as their first; which suggests

fineMusic FM 102.5

The album is made up mostly of covers, flavoured with the group’s unique improvisational style, and mixed in with some original pieces composed by any or all of the three musicians. Pervading all of the music, however, is a calming fluidity and understated charm that really transports you away. Roger Kallaway’s Morning Song, however, is perhaps not an ideal fit for this ensemble, with the triumphal main theme coming across a little thin on the solo cello. Similarly,

I Loves You Porgy, while beautifully played by Manins and Gould, seems lacking in weight when compared to the original. The trio is definitely in its element with more sumptuous, loosely defined material that is in no hurry to unfold, which allows the soloists to explore their impulses freely. Quiet Sea, for example, which is entirely the product of spontaneous improvisation between Manins and Jones, has a wonderfully haunting, staid beauty about it that will stop you in your tracks. When all three musicians are exploring as a group, there is an unmistakeable magic about it. – Robert Clark

YUJA WANG: FANTASIA Deutsche Grammophon 479 0052

✶✶✶✶

Rising Chinese pianist Yuja Wang releases her fourth Deutsche Grammophon recording in this disc of miniatures. ‘I love all the pieces here. With these miniatures, I hope I can capture a mood or a scent – a hint of atmosphere. That’s all you can do with small

pieces, create a vignette of a memory, or a hope. It’s like a haiku.’ An encore is something that’s both ephemeral and truthful, according to Wang. ‘It’s a temporary mood, reciprocated by the audience. They’re pieces I’ve played for so long that they’ve became a part of me. It’s a kind of record of how my heart is feeling at the moment.’ The album’s title, Fantasia, brings to mind both Paul Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and the Disney film. The latter was Wang’s first encounter with classical

music as a child. Other composers featured on the disc are Rachmaninov, Scarlatti, Gluck, Albéniz, Bizet, Schubert, Johann Strauss, Chopin, Scriabin and Saint-Saëns. Wang says an encore should be an intimate situation. ‘People assume that an encore is something showy, but, for me, it’s a little moment of tenderness from the heart.’ Her impressive technical skills and interpretive intelligence make for a memorable listening experience. Highly recommended - Paolo Hooke

PIAZZOLLA: TANGO DISTINTO Music for Solo Trombone and Instrumental Ensemble Achilles Liarmakopoulos (trombone), instrumental ensemble Naxos 8.572596

✶✶✶

The name of Piazzolla is practically synonymous with that uniquely passionate dance form, the tango. He spent his entire life turning the tango inside out, transforming it according to his own ideas about where his imagination could take it. This CD contains just over an hour’s worth of his work, using instrumentation that lends itself well to this kind of music. Sometimes it comes out fiery, sometimes bluesy, sometimes

fast, sometimes slow, sometimes all at the same time, trombone in the unusual position of leading the way through movements that onlookers often find baffling in their stop-start intricacies, with percussive effects marshalling much of what it means to move, tango-wise. Piazzolla is rated for his work as a serious composer rather than a ‘mere’ dance master, not overlooking pieces he devised for such established musicians as Rostropovich, so this is as much a CD for a listening audience as for a dancing one. In the listening, though, it is not likely to convert anyone who has tried to

tango but remains puzzled, if still intrigued. For all it reveals about the scope and intensity of Piazzolla’s life’s passion, this is state of play for the tango, more than state of the art, without offering a lot to surprise anyone who may have their own expectations of what tango music should sound like. For its more radical interpretations, there are other sources. Even so, what this CD offers will be seized on with pleasure by aficionados, even if it does not do much to increase their numbers. - Phil Vendy

Harry Allen continues to be the keeper of the flame for the swinging mainstream tenor saxophone - a twenty-first century Zoot Sims as some critics have noted but there are also hints of Stan Getz and Ben Webster. There are quite a few examples of his propensity for swing, no more so than on the 1931 pop trifle Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On where Allen plays chorus after fluent chorus, endlessly inventive, as he builds to a logical climax with Italian-born pianist Rossano Sportiello who adds to the fire with two fine choruses backed admirably by Joel Forbes’ bass and Chuck Riggs’ drums. Sportiello is a bonus on any recording date as he shows on this, Allen’s third and best album for the Dutch label Challenge Records, where

the 13 tracks have a river theme. With cornet master Warren Vache he brings new life to Hoagy Carmichael’s Riverboat Shuffle, their rousing rendition with strong solos all round bringing a smile to my face. This is the music I enjoyed as a teenager and it’s great to hear an unhackneyed and lively version of this Dixieland warhorse. Swing may be the thing with Allen but he is also an exceptional balladeer. Cry Me A River is a good example but even better is Down By The River, a little known Rodgers and Hart gem from the 1935 movie Mississippi, and Sleepy River where he teams with Sportiello to show why he has been called the Sinatra of the saxophone.

It took only a few bars of the Basie-influenced beginning to Deed I Do with the Jumpin’ At The Woodside riff to realise that this is an exceptional album by any standards, let alone Ruby Braff’s. I can only hope there are still a few sessions of this calibre by the master of the melodic cornet yet to be released. Recorded over two days in New York on April 22 and 23 in 1998 - five years before his death - Braff was in prime form, his solos full of melodic and at times gentle embellishments, despite having to take medication for emphysema during the recording sessions. With a rhythmic cushion set by two guitars, Jon Wheatley and Howard Alden, his solos are a joy to the ear. Through Marshall

Woods’ bass and Jim Gwin’s drums, Braff gives full reign to his creativity aided by altoist Chuck Wilson. Scott Robinson’s tenor and Jon-Erik Kelso’s trumpet were added on the final four tracks recorded on the second day. The charts by Braff and Alden result in long loping lines at swinging tempos, enabling the soloists to float above the rhythm as Braff does so lyrically on I’m Coming Virginia as he once again emphasises his view that good melodies are timeless. It’s a number he had previously recorded in 1957 in a tribute album to Bunny Berigan. But this one is a tribute to swing by a true original, a musician beyond category. We will not see his like again. Don’t miss it!

I missed out on this disc by my favourite present-day musical partnership the first time around but it’s been more than worth the wait to at last get the Blue Note reissue of an album judged the best in the 2006 BBC Jazz Awards. It is aptly named as the English tenor saxophonist, like his idols Lester Young and especially Stan Getz, draws on the lyric of a song as an inspiration for his almost musical poetry. In other words he tells a story as he plays whether it be melodically lyrical or swinging brightly; for example: the opening track where he shows his debt to the tonal beauty of Getz’s sound on Manha De Carnaval. Although Jim Tomlinson’s name is in the bigger type on the album cover,

it is his American-born wife, Stacey Kent, who dominates the album as she sings on 11 of the 13 tracks a mixture of bossa novas and standards, from Luis Bonfa to Antonio Carlos Jobim, from Cole Porter to Hoagy Carmichael. Among today’s present crop of jazz singers there are few finer interpreters of the melodies from The Great American Songbook. Her bewitching vocals on Stardust and What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life, complemented by the delicacy and feeling of Tomlinson’s tenor, are worth the price of the album alone. It is this high level of empathy between them as they draw on the timeless stories from sophisticated love songs which makes their music irresistible.

SWINGING ON THE VINE SWING AND SWEAT

I turn and there is the insufferable Clifford, the brother-in-law from hell, smirking as he sips coffee. He’s full of charm: ‘Your new buzz hair-cut does suit you. Is there convict stock in your past?’ I bristle and grip the pitchfork as he minces off; in an earlier age he would have been one to swing and sway with Sammy Kaye. Looking over his shoulder, he says: ‘I would like to stay but I have several boy bands to look after.’ I advance on him pitchfork extended, roaring: ‘The moronic flame has never burned more brightly and must be extinguished.’ ‘What is going on here?’ It’s The Voice. ‘I expect better of you now you have had your hair cut. You look sort of respectable now. Remember we are not living in the Stone Age. I am driving Clifford to the airport. Your den is locked and I have the only key - but there is plenty of distilled water in the fridge.’ As the sound of the jeep recedes into the distance, Little J rubs up against my leg.

consistently excellent jazz music produced by any white swing band of its period.

“

Swinging and sweating in the Hunter with a pitchfork. It’s hard work. Even humming Cherokee as I hoist cattle feed into the paddock for my prize bulls doesn’t appear to help. At least I’m warm. I take a breather, leaning on my pitchfork as I try not to retch while drinking ice cold distilled water. I feel I am being watched.

Barnet’s 1939-42 band “ represented the most

‘B is for Basie,’ I tell my one true friend. ‘You must always have a Plan B!’ He gazes admiringly at me as I push aside a boulder and retrieve a second key to the den which has been closed for three weeks. It takes several minutes for the air to clear before I can head for the wine rack. The piggish sounds of satisfaction from Little J as he slurps the shiraz from his bowl adds to my feeling of satisfaction as I slowly empty the bottle to the sounds of Cherokee, with Charlie Barnet’s tenor blossoming out in front of the wawa brass background as he swings through his theme from a live recording of his 1947 concert in the New York Town Hall. Those were the days when you could still swing and sweat with Charlie Barnet. There was a man after my own heart - a millionaire playboy who believed in having a good time. Scion of a wealthy family, he defied their plans for him to become a corporate lawyer. Instead he led one of the most under-rated and best big bands of the Swing Era. He may have been born with a gold-plated soprano saxophone in his mouth but he learned to play the whole saxophone family with distinction becoming a volatile tenor soloist, a Johnny Hodges inspired alto saxophonist and led his reed section while playing soprano. Swing was the thing with Barnet. As he said: ‘We were happy 90 per cent of the time. There were no cliques (in the band). It was just a bunch of guys having ball.’ A colourful personality he was often in the newspaper headlines and was one of the most talked about jazz musicians in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He was married six times - I shudder at the thought reaching for another bottle. But then again Artie Shaw was married eight times!

Charlie Barnet

English poet Philip Larkin once wrote that sexual intercourse began between the lifting of the (Lady) Chatterley ban and The Beatles first LP. In your dreams you Pommy git! Not with Artie and Charlie around. Letting Artie loose in Hollywood was like letting a schoolboy lose in a chocolate shop - Betty Grable, Lana Turner and Lena Horne: how’s that for starters? I shake my head in admiration before taking a long drink.

Charlie Barnet The sidemen in Barnet’s orchestras were used to their leader hiring beautiful women as ‘singers.’ During a theatre engagement in Philadelphia as he admired his latest paramour, a stunning Eurasian who couldn’t carry a note across the street, he happened to glance across the stage - and went white with fright. Two mobsters were waiting for the band to finish. It appears Charlie had spirited the lovely woman away from a top class bordello and the mobsters were waiting to take their merchandise back. They may have called him the ‘Mad Mab’ because of his escapades and he may not have achieved the commercial success of Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and Artie Shaw but taken as a whole Barnet’s records are the most consistently jazz slanted of all the white swing bands. In retrospect, some critics have claimed that Barnet’s 1939-42 band represented the most consistently excellent jazz music produced by any white swing band of its period. Some called him the ‘White Duke’ - his major influence was Duke Ellington - but he was more than that. Anyway what better influence could you have? The band is roaring through Caravan as I place the empty bottles in the rack and contemplate washing my mouth out in the duck pond and chewing some duck weed. No wonder The Voice in her rage often calls me The Breath. - Patrick D Maguire fineMusic FM 102.5

September Program highlights A CENTENARY REMEMBRANCE Monday 3 September at 2pm We often shake our heads at some of the unusual names given to children these days, but what would you think if someone named his son Hiawatha? That’s exactly what English composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and his wife Jessie did when their son was born. Young Hiawatha was named after his father’s greatest musical success Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast and he grew up to be a conductor, while their daughter Gwendolen became a composer of songs. Neither attained the fame of their father who achieved outstanding early success in the late 19th century despite being the offspring of an African father and an English mother. His father, a native of Sierra Leone, was a doctor and obviously an educated man but he abandoned his wife and son to return to his homeland. Samuel’s musical talent was encouraged by his mother who ensured that he had violin lessons and he also became a chorister at the Church of St George in Croydon.

Hildegard von Bingen

A CELEBRATION OF HILDEGARD Fridays 7 and 21 September at 10pm Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098 - 17 September 1179), who was also known as the Sibyl of the Rhine, was a German writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, Benedictine abbess and visionary. She founded the monasteries of Rupertsberg in 1150 and Eibingen in 1165. One of her works as a composer, the Ordo Virtutum, is an early example of liturgical drama and arguably the oldest surviving morality play. This may be heard in Baroque and Before

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast was the first part of a trilogy which included The Death of Minnehaha and Hiawatha’s Departure which were based on the epic poem of Henry Longfellow. These strikingly original compositions were so successful that they brought many commissions to the young composer especially for choral works for the English festivals. In fact, it was Elgar who recommended Coleridge-Taylor to the Gloucester Festival.

However there was more to Coleridge-Taylor’s music than this momentous trilogy. His early symphony was conducted by Charles Villiers Stanford with whom the young composer studied composition at the Royal Academy of Music. A benefactor, who recognised the brilliance of the young man, had arranged for his admission to the Academy and it is said that Samuel, whose financial means were strained, arrived ‘with a large circular patch on his trousers’. From then on, poverty was extinguished by his exceptional musical talent. His chamber works were much in demand and, even when he was still a student, his Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op 10 was performed in Berlin by the renowned Joachim Quartet. Some of his music reflected his African heritage but most followed the European tradition. After all, he lived in Croydon for the whole of his short life and was an Englishman! His untimely death occurred on 1 September 1912 at the age of 37 and 100 years later we pause to remember Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and his music. – Elaine Siversen

on 7 September.This program and Baroque and Before on 21 September, celebrate the music of Hildegard for the occasion of her elevation as a Saint in the universal Catholic Church. On 10 May 2012, Pope Benedict XVI extended the liturgical cult of Saint Hildegard to the universal Church in a process known as ‘equivalent canonization’ and on 7 October, the Pope will declare Saint Hildegard to be the 35th Doctor of the Church, a recognition of her exceptional intellectual capacities.

and cures; an invented language called the Lingua ignota; various minor works, including a gospel commentary and three great volumes of visionary theology.

Hildegard was a very learned woman who wrote theological, botanical and medicinal texts, as well as letters, liturgical songs, and poems, while supervising in her abbey the painting of brilliant miniature illuminations in biblical texts.

Her music is described as monophonic; that is, consisting of exactly one melodic line and her compositional style is characterized by soaring melodies, often well outside of the normal range of the chant of the time. Additionally, scholars describe Hildegard’s music as having recurrent melodic units, and also note her close attention to the relationship between music and text, which was a rare occurrence in monastic chant of the 12th century.

Attention in recent decades to women of the medieval Church has led to a great deal of popular interest in Hildegard, and particularly to her music. In addition to the Ordo Virtutum, 69 musical compositions, each with its own original poetic text, survive, and at least four other texts are known, though their musical notation has been lost. Hildegard also wrote two volumes of material on natural medicine

The correspondence she kept with the outside world, both spiritual and social, transgressed the cloister as a space of female confinement, and served to document Hildegard’s grand style. Her letter writing included nearly 400 letters to correspondents ranging from Popes to Emperors to abbots and abbesses;

Apart from Hildegard’s other exceptional abilities, it must be recognised that she was a musician far ahead of her time. – ES fineMusic FM 102.5

September Program highlights

A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION Monday 24 September at 2pm Colin Davis is an authoritative interpreter of such masters as Mozart, Berlioz, Sibelius and Stravinsky. He has also championed the cause of his British contemporaries, most notably Michael Tippett. He was born on 25 September 1927 at Weybridge, England and began his musical career studying clarinet at the Royal College of Music, London. His first appointment was as a musician with the Household Cavalry while serving in the army and in the 1950s he began a new career conducting orchestras. This career has led him to appointments with major orchestras in the United States and in various parts of Europe and Great Britain and earned him international respect.

60 HARMONIOUS YEARS Saturday 29 September at 3.30pm The choral tradition of the University of Sydney goes back to 1878 when the Sydney University Musical Society was formed. In 1952 a separate choir was established for graduates and 2012 marks 60 years since its formation. For a number of years the concerts of the Sydney University Graduate Choir have been broadcast on Fine Music 102.5 and we are delighted to be able to bring you a very special performance which was given to mark this 60th anniversary of the choir which has over 100 singers. The orchestra, which accompanies the choir, varies according to the demands of the work being performed. For the anniversary concert, the orchestra was

Colin Davis has been awarded high honours by Italy, France, Germany and Finland. He has also received many awards in Britain, the most recent being the Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal in 1995. He was made a

Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1965, and was knighted in 1980. His 85th birthday is celebrated in a program of music ranging from Mozart to Bartók. – ES

Queen Elizabeth and Colin Davis probably one of the largest assembled and their contribution was magnificent. The work chosen for the celebration was the rarely performed oratorio Paulus (or St Paul) of Mendelssohn. This relates the story of the Apostle Paul from his days of persecuting Christians, including being present at the stoning of Stephen, through his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus when he was struck blind, to his days of spreading the Gospel, ending with his farewell to the congregation at Ephesus. Some of the final words foreshadow his death: ‘And even if his life is sacrificed for the sake of our faith, he has fought the good fight. He has finished the course. He has kept the faith.’ It is the story of a truly courageous man.

Although this oratorio is not as well known as Elijah, the impact on the audience at this performance was electric. The choir was magnificent, the soloists were superb and the music was dramatic and glorious. In the program notes we read that ‘the dramatic nature of the words and music in Paulus is reminiscent of the Passions of Bach. ... Since Mendelssohn’s time, Paulus has been overshadowed by Elijah but, with its drama, grandeur and wonderful energy it deserves to be heard. It is a masterpiece by a great choral and orchestral composer.’ – ES

Mario, a sympathiser, helps him escape. Scarpia, chief of police, seeking Angelotti, arrests Mario. Desiring Tosca, Scarpia promises her lover’s liberty in return for her favours.

Amelia reconciles Boccanegra with Fiesco and Gabriele. Their happiness does not last as Boccanegra has been poisoned by Paolo. Boccanegra dies blessing Amelia and Gabriele, who becomes Doge.

What exactly does it take to make music? Leading musicians, composers and performers, both local and visiting from overseas, will be talking live on air telling us why they do it and how they do it.

HMV ASD 1782991 36 In Maurya’s cottage on the Isle of Aran, her daughters Cathleen and Nora debate whether the clothes of a man found drowned in Donegal might be those of their brother, Michael, who, like his grandfather, father and four brothers, has been lost at sea. One brother, Bartley, remains. He is about to take horses along the shore to put them on a boat to go to Galway Fair. Maurya tries to stop him but he is adamant that he will ride the red mare while the grey pony trots behind. He goes without her blessing and her daughters urge her to follow and take him a loaf of bread. While she is away, they open the bundle and identify the clothing as Michael’s. Maurya returns and describes a vision of seeing Bartley riding the red mare and Michael following on the grey pony. She predicts disaster and recounts the circumstances of the deaths of her father-in-law, her husband and her sons. Against a background of women’s ‘keening’, Bartley’s body is carried in; the grey pony had knocked him into the sea. With submissive calm, knowing that the sea can no longer cause her any more grief, Maurya blesses the dead one by one as the door blows open and the roar of the sea is heard.

Helen Watts the enemy sentry lets her pass, but holds her papers. Without the proper papers, the sentry on her own side denies her request to pass, and Josephine must remain on the bridge. Bedron is allowed onto the bridge from his own side, but is prevented from crossing over to the other side. Bedron makes a casual pass at Josephine. Josephine’s fiancé Johnny appears and accuses her of being unfaithful. Eva, Bedron’s wife, arrives and joins the argument. The schoolmaster joins them on the bridge, trying to solve a riddle about a trapped deer. The riddle parallels the characters’ situation as the sentries at both ends will allow none to leave the bridge. Offstage, battle sounds are heard and the two couples settle their differences. Then they hear news of a battlefield victory on their side. The Officer appears and tells Josephine her brother is alive; she has buried another deceased soldier. The Officer also reveals the answer to the riddle: the deer does not escape but he tells them that they can all go home. Everyone laughs and celebrates the victory.
