LANG LANG’S WELCOME RETURN CATHERINE PEAKE FINDS A CHARISMATIC PIANIST The Sydney Symphony Orchestra has a busy and exciting month scheduled for June. Renowned pianist Lang Lang will be joining the orchestra during his upcoming tour of Australia, and its members are looking forward to welcoming him back to the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall stage.

The Lang Lang Gala Performance will present two concerts at the end of June. Vincent Plush will be giving a pre-concert talk before each concert.

Having last performed with Lang Lang in 2016, the Sydney Symphony Photo: Robert Ascroft Orchestra is anticipating his arrival: “Lang Lang is a global phenomenon and a passionate ambassador for classical music, from Carnegie Hall to the Beijing Olympics, and his astonishing technique and irresistible charisma have earned him millions of fans world-wide.” The concert features Lang Lang’s performance of Mozart’s Piano concerto no 24 in C minor, K491 with Chief Conductor David Robertson on the podium.

The concerto for keyboard and orchestra is of interest as one of only two keyboard concertos that Mozart wrote in the minor key, the other being no 20 in D minor. He also composed the concerto without fully scoring the soloist’s part, intending to perform it himself.

Further works on the program are Rendering after Schubert’s Symphony in D, D936a by Luciano Berio and Schubert’s Symphony no 8 in B minor, D759. Rendering, written by Berio in 1990 as a completion of Schubert’s sketches for a ‘Tenth’ Symphony, is nonetheless intended to be heard as a piece in its own right.

Schubert wrote only two movements for his Eighth Symphony. Known as the Unfinished, the symphony is sometimes referred to as being the first romantic symphony due to its lyricism and a style of orchestration that heralds the Romantic period.

At 36 years of age, Lang Lang has something of a ‘rockstar’ status in the classical music world, and the New York Times has rated him as ‘the hottest artist on the classical music planet’. He has been awarded accolades and prizes almost from the beginning of his career which began by starting piano lessons at age three and first performing in public at age five. He later attended the Beijing Central 2

JUNE 2019

Music Conservatory and won the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians in Moscow at age 13. Two years later he moved to the United States to pursue a career as a concert pianist, studying at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under pianist Gary Graffman. At age 17, Lang Lang’s professional career took a leap forward when he became an ‘overnight star’ at a concert with the Chicago Symphony, playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano concerto no 1 after pianist André Watts was forced to cancel due to illness.

Since then, Lang Lang has performed with leading orchestras in the United States, Europe, Canada and Australia, as well as in his home country of China. Well-known for his sense of showmanship, some have found his theatricality in performance excessive while others are unconcerned, focusing on the musical sensitivity rather than the visual impact. When Lang Lang was included in the Time Magazine’s list of 100 most influential people in 2009, jazz pianist Herbie Hancock (who taught him how to improvise) said that Lang Lang’s playing was ‘sensitive and so deeply human … You hear him play, and he never ceases to touch your heart’.

Part of Lang Lang’s appeal is the combination of formidable technique and a natural affinity with his audience. Conductor Jahja Ling has said: “Lang Lang is special because of his total mastery of the piano … He has the flair and great communicative power.” The Times journalist Emma Pomfret writes: “I can think of no other classical artist who has achieved Lang Lang’s broad appeal without dumbing down.”

Lang Lang’s work in preparing for a concert incorporates the understanding of the historical context of a composer. In speaking with Ben Finane, Lang Lang attributes a portion of his interpretation to having worked with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, as well as the early influence of family: “I had the privilege to work on pianoforte and harpsichord with [Harnoncourt] and experienced listening to Baroque and early music on its original instruments.

And in my family, my father played the Chinese folk instrument, the erhu [a twostring bowed instrument]. I really like to listen to those old, very poetic compositions from the original instruments that gave me this ‘authentic’ taste.” He has found as he grows older that his views of different composers change: “Every composer is different [now] from when I was a kid, or even a teenager … especially composers like Bach, Brahms, the late Beethoven. They have had a huge impact on me as I get older.”

A large part of Lang Lang’s performance is in recording with labels that include Universal Music and Deutsche Grammophon, and in 2010 he signed with Sony Classical in a deal worth a reputed $3 million, ‘the richest headhunt ever seen in classical music’. His recording extends well beyond the classical concert hall and incorporates work in films such as The Painted Veil and The Banquet, and in 2008 he collaborated with Google and YouTube in theYouTube Symphony Orchestra project, the first online collaborative orchestra.

He has also worked with jazz and pop musicians.

Lang Lang has developed a very high public profile and played in major events with audiences of millions all over the world, including Beijing’s opening ceremony for the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2007 Nobel Prize concert in Stockholm. He appeared with conductor Seiji Ozawa at the 2007 New Year’s Eve gala opening for the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing and has appeared on US television programs including The Today Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Good Morning America.

“Lang Lang is a global phenomenon and a passionate ambassador for classical music . . .”

Pieces in the album include Beethoven’s Für Elise, Debussy’s Clair de lune and J.S. Bach’s Prelude in C major from The welltempered Clavier. He also included some modern classics such as Max Richter’s The departure and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s music for Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, as well as a Chinese folk song, Jasmine flower.

In March 2017, Lang Lang suffered a tendonitis injury to his left arm, leading to cancelled concerts and a three-month break. He said that he injured the arm through ‘a stupid practice of Ravel’s left-hand concerto’, a work written by Maurice Ravel for Paul Wittgenstein, a pianist who had lost his right arm in World War I. Lang Lang was back on stage in 2018, his absence from the concert platform having left a large gap, and Mark Volpe, Boston Symphony Orchestra’s managing director, stated: “Everyone needs Lang Lang to come back and do what he does in such a unique fashion. I don’t just mean playing the piano; I mean the bigger picture. There are other great pianists, but he has a personality, he’s got a presence.”

Besides his regular performing schedule in recent years, Lang Lang has spent time on his ‘second career’ in working with children in the promotion of classical music. In 2008 he launched the Lang Lang International Music Foundation in New York, an organisation supported by the Grammys and UNICEF that works with children in schools to support their education in classical music.

Lang Lang explains: “Music is powerful. I want every child to have access to music experiences that ignite something wonderful inside of them, just as music delivered something incredible for me. My hope with my Foundation was to find a way to capture the potential that I see in music to positively transform lives and provide inspiration to

kids around the world in a meaningful and sustainable way. I hope that my Foundation can help carry on my passion for music to encourage kids to engage in some way, any way, with any genre of music that touches them.” In 2007, in a striking recognition of his work, Steinway Pianos named a piano model after Lang Lang. Introduced into China, the model was designed for children and was the first named after a single artist.

In supporting music students through his Foundation he has also performed with them; Lang Lang and three students played together on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2009. He has continued his work with children outside the Foundation and has been appointed a United Nations Messenger of Peace and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Lang Lang remains an inspiration to students and, during his visit to Australia in 2016, student Sandra Ismail said: “He’s a household name even among non-musical families. It’s just really inspiring knowing that you can cross that barrier from just being a classical musician.”

In the recently-released album, Piano Book, his first recording for three years, Lang Lang takes a look back at his own youth and the pieces that influenced him: “I want to take every music lover on a journey through my favourite piano pieces. I hope to inspire as well as motivate every piano student to remain focused during daily practice, and to play and understand these essential pieces for what they really are: true masterpieces!”

During the month of June, in addition to the Lang Lang Gala Performance, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will be performing with violinist Nemanja Radulović and oud player Joseph Tawadros. The orchestra’s cello section will perform works that highlight the instrument in The Cellos of the Sydney Symphony, and the cocktail hour Boccherini and Glazunov in the Utzon Room will feature other musicians of the orchestra. In its annual Last Night of the Proms, conductor Guy Noble will be leading the orchestra in the best of British classical and popular music. The Sydney Symphony Orchestra also travels this month, with a concert in Orange featuring soprano Emma Matthews, performing works

by Schubert and Mozart.

FINE MUSIC DONOR: JOHN SELBY mature age student at university where his lecturer in Economics was Professor Neil Runcie, a founding member of the radio station. One day Runcie, who was pushed for time, invited John to travel in his car while he explained a problem in economics. During the journey John was introduced to Fine Music (then 2MBS-FM). “Ever since then, Fine Music has been that ‘music for the soul’ for me.”

“Looking at the photo, you go: ha, ha, another old fogey who is going to tell us that he doesn’t like modern music,” says John Selby.

Directing his comments towards the younger generation, he continues: “There was a time when this old fogey was as young as you but his views haven’t changed much since; more for good reason than for intellectual sclerosis.” While he is respectful of the musical preferences of others, his favourite program on Fine Music 102.5 is The Classical Era on Sunday morning.

John migrated to Australia from Switzerland in 1960 completing his tertiary studies in Marketing, French and Education at UNSW and UNE. He subsequently worked in business and taught business management. His active private life includes hang-gliding, paragliding, swimming, snowboarding and tennis. Writing, reading and listening to music fill his quieter moments.

John’s father played the violin (badly as John recalls) and was determined that his son should

“Why do we need music?” he asks. “I will never forget the trip from Dubbo to Sydney in my Mazda 808 when I listened to a cassette tape of Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante in E flat.

It brought tears to my eyes.” John listened to this music during a difficult time in his life and adds: “I choose music that consoles me when I am down.” learn either the violin or piano. With this limited choice he learned the piano. “Dad reminded me of Henry Ford saying ‘You can buy any colour car, as long as it’s black’. I would rather have settled for a wind instrument.”

John’s introduction to Fine Music was as a

As a regular donor to Fine Music, John says: “I support Fine Music not only for easy access or nostalgic reasons but because I am convinced that there are other listeners who go through rough patches as I did, and derive emotional comfort from listening to the music that is dear to them.”

RADIANT CHORAL MUSIC CATHERINE PEAKE HIGHLIGHTS TWO SACRED WORKS Osanna Mass is a major choral work but the shorter Christ the King is also notable. It begins and ends with plainsong from the feast day of 25 October in the church calendar.

Maclean has also incorporated the text of two poems by New Zealand poet James K. Baxter, Song to the Father and Song to the Lord God on a Spring Morning. In using Baxter’s work, Maclean says: “I did feel a sense of connection with his imagery of the natural world. The rhythms of the plainchant melody are fairly fluid, with notes falling into groups of twos and threes, and Baxter’s poetry has a similar natural flow which made it suitable for the plainchant.”

The connection between words and music infuses Clare Maclean’s compositions with layers of meaning. In the two choral works Osanna Mass and Christ the King, Maclean uses texts from both sacred and secular sources and weaves them into two distinctly Australasian compositions. As Inge Southcott says, Maclean ‘writes serious, beautifully crafted music that is compelling, complex, and original. Richly textured and intricate, it shows her deep understanding of choral traditions’.

Maclean undertook her musical training in New Zealand and Australia, and her experience in singing with the Sydney University Chamber Choir provided an introduction to Renaissance polyphonic music which continues to influence her music. Both Osanna Mass and Christ the King are unaccompanied choral works, originally written for the Sydney Chamber Choir.

In 2012, Maclean won the Art Music Awards Work of the Year (Vocal/Choral) with the Mass, the judges commenting that ‘The Osanna Mass is a gorgeously transcendent work of sinuous elegance, colour and radiance’. The word ‘Hosanna’ is used in both Judaism and Christianity, with meanings of both prayer and praise, and in composing the piece Maclean 4

used plainchant melodies and Jewish liturgical melodies. “I combined melodies together in counterpoint, finding my own sonorities rather than following traditional rules of counterpoint, using old melodies to create a contemporary harmony and polyphony.” She points out that ‘another illustrative element was the incorporation of material onomatopoeically derived from bells and birdsong which both have spiritual connotations’. Blackbird, magpie and currawong song is featured.

Maclean has written to commission for numerous other ensembles including the Macquarie Singers, the Tasmanian Consort, Sydney Philharmonia Chorus, the vocal quartet SYNTONY and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

Clare Maclean completed a Doctorate in Creative Arts at the University of Western Sydney and now lectures there in music theory, analysis, arranging and composition.

Osanna Mass will be part of the Sunday Special program at 3pm on 23 June.

‘THE MOZART OF THE BOULEVARDS’ DEREK PARKER OUTLINES A BRILLIANT CAREER In the 1860s, even under a citizen king who carried an umbrella and in a Paris ruled by respectable bankers, there was still a bohemian life, and Jacques Offenbach was happier strolling the boulevards than attending polite soirées.

He was at home among the artists and eccentrics, instantly recognisable: skinny, with a huge nose and long, wavy hair, looking (it was said) like ‘an intelligent scarecrow with the head of a parrot’.

He had come from, well, nowhere in particular. He was the son of Isaac Eberst, a Jewish cantor who had been born in Offenbach, near Frankfurt, and had adopted the surname.

Young Jacques, who was born in Cologne on 20 June 1819, learned the violin as a child and had secretly taught himself the cello, something he revealed only when the cellist failed to turn up for a family quartet. He was Jacques Offenbach sent to the Paris Conservatoire at 14, but after only a year ‘escaped’ to earn a Offenbach triumphed for the next 20 years, scant living as a cellist in theatre orchestras. staging success after success. He and Scraping an acquaintance with the composers Halévy gave his operettas a sharp edge Fromental Halévy and Friedrich von Flotow, which delighted the public: Orphée aux Enfers both of whom generously encouraged him, he (Orpheus in the Underworld), for instance, became for a while famous as ‘the Liszt of the his most popular work, staged in 1858, is cello’. In fact, Liszt accompanied Offenbach at apparently a satire on the private lives of concerts, as did Louis Gottschalk and Anton the gods and goddesses of Olympus; but, in fact, is an attack on the French social system.

Right-wing critics recognised this and attacked After falling in love with a theatre manager’s the piece, which started a controversy: crowds step-daughter, he hastily converted to descended on the Bouffes-Parisiens to see Catholicism and went to London to make this operetta.

There were dissenting voices swing a cat,” a visiting American journalist elsewhere: Wagner, for instance, in one of his wrote; “but people do not go to the Bouffes for less elegant phrases, called Offenbach’s music the purpose of swinging cats. They go to listen ‘a dung heap on which all the swine of Europe to the brightest and newest music, to witness wallow’. American critics were far too puritan the best acting that the French stage affords. to accept music by a composer about whom And they are never disappointed. Absolutely the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin remarked, ‘might be forgiven for his want of genius, but never.” his prurience is inexcusable’. London critics With the help of Ludovic Halévy, a brilliant were only a little less shocked by ‘works librettist, and Hortense Schneider, a singing whose vulgarity passes all description’. actress who was the sex symbol of the day, The parabola of popular Parisian success could

not, of course, last for ever. From the time in 1872 when Paris saw three simultaneous Offenbach productions, his popularity began to decline. Part of the trouble was non-musical: although he considered himself French, during the Franco-Prussian War he was stigmatised as ‘a German Jew’.

Then came competition from new works by Planquette, Messager and Lecocq, and finally Johann Strauss appeared in Paris with Die Fledermaus.

Trying to woo the public with expensive spectacles, Offenbach went bankrupt and, although unwell, went off to fulfil concert engagements in America where (Strauss said) one could pick up enormous sums of money in any convenient horse-trough. Puritans again raised their voices but as a conductor he attracted enormous crowds, and returned home relatively rich, and able to settle his debts.

He turned finally to the opera that he had always wanted to write, Les contes d’Hoffmann (The tales of Hoffmann), which would be his 101st work for the stage.

However, he failed to complete it, dying early in the morning of 5 October 1880. One of his comedians, Léonce, came to visit at daybreak, and was told the composer had died in his sleep. “Never mind,” said Léonce, “he’ll be quite vexed when he finds out.”

Hoffmann is probably now Offenbach’s most famous work, respected and admired by conductors and producers to the extent that not long ago the distinguished Austrian opera director Walter Felstein spent three years and 233 rehearsals in preparing his production.

The wit and sophistication of his operettas are unparalleled in the French repertoire, and although productions are less frequent, even in Paris, than they once were they continue to delight. It is easy to agree with Otto Klemperer, who said that: “… those who called Offenbach ‘the Mozart of the Boulevards’ were not much mistaken.”

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Offenbach’s birth, we will broadcast the opera (19), two operettas (8, 22), a program of ballet (15) and one of cello (20). Look for the Offenbach logo on these programs and on Offenbach Explored every Wednesday at 3pm.

FANTASY AND MISCHIEF PAMELA NEWLING EXPLORES LA BOUTIQUE FANTASQUE The first performance of La boutique fantasque was produced by the impressario Sergei Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes. Famous artists and performers eagerly awaited the opening night at the Alhambra Theatre London on 5 June 1919. Picasso was in attendance and made a sketch of the principal dancers in their final pose.

Respighi’s ballet, La boutique fantasque (The fantastic toyshop), is a delightful story of toys taking control of a toyshop. It opens with a world-famous toymaker impressing prestigious customers from America, Russia and England with automated dancing dolls.

They perform mazurkas, tarantellas, Cossack dances and can-cans. After the shop closes, the dolls magically come to life, creating mischief and mayhem for the toymaker and his important clients. The make-believe continues throughout with fun and laughter.

The most sophisticated dolls, a pair of cancan dancers, are in love but are due to be parted as they’ve been sold separately to a Russian and an American family. The toys plot to hide the can-can dolls so that they can stay together. When the customers return to collect their dolls the next day they are furious to discover that the can-can dolls are missing and blame the toymaker. In the ensuing fracas the Cossack dolls defend the toymaker with their bayonets. Driven out of the shop, the customers watch incredulously as the dolls

The ballet was choreographed by Léonide Massine. Toulouse-Lautrec was an influence on the period setting and style of the ballet and Massine envisaged the principal character ‘quite Lautrec-like’. He also worked with André Dérain on the costume and scenery design.

and the shopkeeper dance happily inside with the reunited can-can dancers.

Many of Respighi’s works were influenced by 16th and 17th century music, but this ballet was arranged and orchestrated from Rossini’s mid-19th century piano music found in his late collection of soirée pieces entitled Sins of old age.

La boutique fantasque was such a success it was presented widely across Europe and America. J.C. Williamson arranged a tour of Australia and New Zealand and the ballet had its Australian premiere in 1936 at the Theatre Royal, Adelaide, on the opening night of the touring Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo.

To mark the centenary of the premiere of La boutique fantasque, the ballet can be heard on 1 June at 1pm.

KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY PAUL COOKE CONSIDERS SIEGFRIED WAGNER and shared responsibility for conducting the Ring cycle. In 1908, with his mother becoming too frail to continue in the role, he became Artistic Director and impressed with his fresh approach: his productions of Der fliegende Holländer and Lohengrin introduced cycloramas and three-dimensional effects. He remained in this position until his death in 1930 and during this time revived Bayreuth after the ravages of World War I thanks to finances brought in by his concert and lecture tours.

It can be difficult to be the child of a famous parent when you are trying to make your way in the same field of endeavour. Siegfried Wagner composed 18 operas and a number of orchestral works and vocal pieces but is remembered more as a conductor and director.

He was born on 6 June 1869. His parents were Richard Wagner, who composed the Siegfried idyll on the occasion of his son’s birth, and Cosima, daughter of Franz Liszt. Siegfried received musical instruction from both Wagner and Liszt, but his first formal studies were with Engelbert Humperdinck, the composer of Hansel and Gretel and an influence on Siegfried’s own operas. He turned to a study of architecture in 1890; the West Australian newspaper published an obituary that noted ‘he designed the mausoleum of his grandfather ... at Bayreuth’. However, while travelling to India and China he decided to abandon architecture and, while on board ship, worked on a symphonic poem, Sehnsucht, inspired

by Friedrich Schiller, the author also of An die Freude, set by Beethoven in his Choral Symphony.

His father’s death in 1883 meant that, having made his decision to devote himself again to music, he became closely involved in the festival productions. In 1894 he made his conducting debut as an assistant conductor.

In 1896 he became associate conductor

Wagner nevertheless found time to compose, ultimately writing more operas than his father. His first published opera was Der Bärenhäuter, which received great acclaim upon its premiere, but none of his subsequent operas met with popular or critical success.

He returned to symphonic music after the composition of his ninth opera: his Symphony in C has been described as lacking ‘symphonic concentration’ even though its finale has ‘a Mahlerian majesty and some magnificent writing for the brass’.

OFFENBACH’S ETHEREAL BUTTERFLY ELAINE SIVERSEN DESCRIBES THE FATE OF THE BALLERINA “Never did German moonlight be-silver a more diaphanous elf or willi. She has an elevation which soars and a bound which carries one away. There are moments when we almost hear the wings on her shoulders quiver and rustle. It is an enchantment, a magic spell, to see her bound and rebound in the forest amid the playing light.” Paul de St Victor wrote this about Emma Livry in La Presse after the premiere of Offenbach’s only ballet, Le papillon (The butterfly).

protection that would have prevented the catastrophe.”

On 15 November 1862, Livry’s skirt brushed too close to a gas light, and within seconds towering flames were swirling around her. Two dancers risked their own lives in a vain attempt to save her but she was badly burned. She survived for eight painful months and, in Migel’s words, ‘only extraordinary courage and deep religious faith enabled her to endure it, and while she fought to live, silent and uncomplaining, the whole of Paris grieved for her’.

Richard Bonynge writes: “Thus Marie Taglioni initiated the great Romantic era of Ballet with her Sylphide in 1832 and guiding her beloved pupil Emma Livry, was present in the shadows at its death.”

Emma Livry was the star pupil of Mme Dominique, maîtresse de ballet at the Opéra. Livry was considered so extraordinarily talented that she was allowed to debut in that most famous and taxing of Romantic ballets La sylphide. It was this ballet that consolidated the reputation of the great Marie Taglioni.

Because of this tragedy, Taglioni choreographed no more and perhaps it might also explain why Offenbach did not compose another full-length ballet. With his great feeling for the requirements of the dance it is unfortunate that he did not write more.

The story of the ballet is almost prophetic and some might say tempting fate. The beautiful Farfalla attracts the attention of the Prince.

She dances around a fire like a moth or a butterfly but the wicked fairy Hamza, who also wants the prince’s attention, locks Farfalla in a chest. When the chest is opened, an enchanting butterfly flies out and is joined by a host of butterflies who torment and drive Hamza away.

Lots of magic ensues with the butterfly resuming human shape as Farfalla but reverting to a butterfly again before the prince can detain her. In trying to capture the prince’s heart, Hamza assumes the shape of a beautiful girl.

She is determined to wed the Prince. When a wedding torch is brought in, Farfalla (as the butterfly) brushes against it and her wings catch fire. Along with the butterfly’s wings, Hamza’s magic charms are destroyed and she is turned into a statue. Unlike the tragic reallife ending, the butterfly is unharmed and the ballet ends with Farfalla and the Prince being transported to a sumptuous fairy palace.

Listen to the magical music of Le papillon in Saturday Matinee at 3pm on 15 June.

To the memory of an angel is the subtitle of Alban Berg’s Violin concerto, commissioned by the violinist Louis Krasner. Berg was immersed in composing his opera Lulu but put it aside to pour into the concerto his sorrow at the death from polio of Manon, the 18-year-old daughter of Alma Mahler and Walter Gropius. The concerto was his last completed work and it premiered after his death. Lulu remained unfinished.

Despite his sorrow, the composing of the concerto gave Berg a sense of joy. He wrote to Krasner: “Yesterday I finished the composition [without the orchestration] of our Violin Concerto. I am probably more surprised by it than you will be ... the work gave me more and more joy. I hope, no, I have the confident belief that I have succeeded.”

A MUSICAL GAME OF THRONES CHRIS BLOWER RECALLS THE BIRTH OF ORATORIO Handel was 48 years old in 1733 and had been living in London for 20 years when he introduced an entirely new musical genre.

The story of the oratorio takes place in a single day and is based on the Biblical stories found in the Book of Judges. The Israelites have been subjugated for 20 years by the Canaanites, when the prophetess Deborah foretells the death of the Canaanite commander Sisera at the hands of a woman. The Israelite commander Barak leads them into battle against the Canaanites. The Israelites are victorious and a woman, Jael, assassinates Sisera as he sleeps in her tent.

Fourteen years earlier, a group of English aristocrats had founded the Royal Academy of Music (no connection with the eponymous school of music founded in 1822) aimed at ensuring a constant supply of baroque opera. Handel was appointed as Master of the Orchestra and was encouraged to offer extravagant fees to entice the best performers from Italy.

Significant financial losses, together with the effects of the South Sea Bubble, inevitably led to the demise of the company in 1729.

Handel immediately started a new company based in the King’s Theatre and supported by King George II. By 1733, however, a group of nobles, supported by the king’s son Frederick, Prince of Wales, had started a rival opera company: Opera of the Nobility.

The new company caused Handel significant problems. The popularity of Italian operas in London had been dwindling and, despite attempts to reawaken public interest, box office takings were increasingly poor. Handel’s

Senesino

solution was to mount a lavish production: his new English-language oratorio Deborah, with 100 performers including 25 singers.

The production had an all-star cast, featuring the distinguished and troublesome castrato, Senesino, who later deserted the company and took most of Handel’s singers to the opposition.

The production was successful musically, less so financially. Handel tried to raise the price of tickets to one guinea, a move that outraged the regular subscribers who gatecrashed the first night demanding that they be allowed to attend on the strength of their season tickets.

Despite these setbacks, and with the subsequent bankruptcy of the opposition, the oratorio was officially launched in London.

Its impact was to be felt for more than two centuries after.

A performance of Handel’s innovative Englishlanguage oratorio, Deborah, his first in the genre, can be heard in Saturday Matinee on 1 June at 3pm.

RARITIES FROM THE RUSSIAN ARCHIVES PAOLO HOOKE REVEALS MORE RARE SYMPHONIES Symphony to the dear beloved is written in the late romantic style and is a notable example of Tchaikovsky’s influence on Felix Blumenfeld (1863-1931). Blumenfeld was a prominent conductor, pianist and teacher who studied composition with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov at the St Petersburg Conservatory. There are also echoes of Rachmaninov in this music of beauty and mastery that blends traditional form with a sense of unpredictability.

Vissarion Shebalin (1902-1963), a friend and loyal supporter of Shostakovich, was a man of integrity. He was one of the few people who dared to defend Shostakovich in the wake of the Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk saga, the attack instigated by the notorious editorial in the Party newspaper Pravda that censured the composer’s opera. Shebalin’s style is academic and his symphonies are carefully crafted, displaying the influence of his teacher Nikolai Myaskovsky. While he may not have produced masterpieces like those of Shostakovich, his music has been unfairly neglected. His Symphony no 2 shows the influence of Borodin and Mussorgsky.

Vissarion Shebalin

Composed in 1929 during a period of relative freedom for Russian artists living under the Soviet regime, it is an attractive and distinctly Russian work.

Gavriil Popov (1904-1972), an almost exact contemporary of Shostakovich, featured in the

first program of this three-part series. Of all of the symphonies presented, his Symphony no 3, Heroic, written for large string orchestra, is probably the major revelation. It is a masterpiece of orchestral writing, a splendid work rooted in the Russian symphonic tradition of Tchaikovsky and Glazunov. Popov creates the illusion of a full-scale orchestra by using the timbre and dynamic abilities of the strings with great compositional skill. He divides the parts of similar instruments into several voices, creating an incredible richness of orchestral texture. It is an appealing work which, according to the composer, was inspired

by Schoenberg. “I admired his Verklärte Nacht [Transfigured night], a symphonic poem for string orchestra … I heard his expressive melodies and realised his great ability to create emotionally hot musical forms. I felt elements of symphonism in Schoenberg’s opus.” This superb work is a memorable conclusion to the current series.

Rarities from the Russian Archives can be heard in Sunday Special on 16 June at 3 pm.

Experience the essence of 18th century France in this chamber program of music by François Devienne, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Hyacinthe Jadin, Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn.

The program closes with Rameau’s Cinquième concert from Pièces de clavecin en concerts, a work paying homage to earlier composers Antoine Forqueray and Marin Marais.

Folksongs are heavily tethered to notions of place and identity, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia and connection to distant times. For centuries composers have tugged at our heart strings, using the medium of song to celebrate the sentiment of national identity. We welcome one of Australia’s most sought-after mezzosopranos, Fiona Campbell, together with world-renowned harpist and regular guest, Alice Giles.

Along with Australia Ensemble members, Fiona and Alice premiere Ford’s evocative Northumbrian songs, and charm us with Berio’s rustic Folksongs. Music by Vaughan Williams draws on pastoral themes while Lutosławski’s Dance preludes offers twists on seductive rhythms from Poland. Capping off the program, Dvorák’s Opus 90 Trio, the much-loved Dumky, highlights his Bohemian heritage in a lively finale.

The musicals of the 1930s consisted of simple melodies, and limited storylines.

However, Showboat by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II broke new ground by introducing threedimensional characters and soaring music that integrated with the libretto. Above all, distasteful topics were woven into a complex plot. From then on musicals confronted other equally taboo subjects including racial prejudice, drug abuse, politics and even war. Musicals would never again be ‘just entertainment’.

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS ANGELA COCKBURN RECOUNTS SOME STRANGE TALES You could be forgiven for thinking all opera is about trials and tribulations: difficult times for characters whose strong emotions are underpinned, emphasised and exaggerated by music. In June that idea is taken to a new level, in more ways than one, with Trials and Tribulations being our opera theme for the month.

First is Fauré’s Pénélope, the story of the wife of the wily general Ulysses, King of Ithaca (Odysseus in Greek) who was the subject of Homer’s epic poetic novel The Odyssey.

Dragged unwillingly into the Trojan War, Ulysses was arguably the only warrior there with any common sense, and he was the guy who came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse which effectively ended the war. The gods threw lots of barriers in his way as he travelled home, so that took an extra ten years on top of the ten-year war.

Pénélope recognises Odysseus by Jan Styka

Meanwhile, at home, Pénélope and their son Telemachus dealt with a group of unruly suitors competing for Pénélope, and a share in the kingdom. Pénélope wants to delay the decision until either Ulysses gets home or Telemachus is old enough to rule, so she says she’ll make a decision after she’s finished her current weaving project, which she unpicks every night. The suitors, who clearly know nothing about weaving and can’t be bothered to find out, fall for this for a long time but begin to lose patience.

Unfortunately for the plot and the motivations, Fauré thought the libretto was too long and had the character of Telemachus cut. He also changed (with rather more reason) the lovely moment when Ulysses returns in disguise, and the only creature to recognise him is his

dog. Now, I do understand that dogs don’t sing very well, but substituting an unlikely old nurse doesn’t work, for me.

Hoffmann, whose quirky tales are seen now as part of the fantasy genre. Offenbach’s audiences knew who he was: they knew the story of Dr Coppelius and his mechanical daughter; they knew about Antonia singing herself to death, and they’d read all about Giulietta in A New Year’s Eve Adventure. So they must have watched each act comfortably anticipating where it was going, and the character of Hoffmann is merely a link, something to tie it all together. The device of one singer depicting all the girls and all the villains was there from the first production that makes it, if you like, a particular trial for Armida falls in love with Rinaldo by Nicolas Poussin 1616 the soprano, who has some very solid singing to do.

The following week we’re presenting Dukas’ reworking of the Bluebeard story: Ariane et The final opera in our month of Trials and Barbe-Bleue, and this time the psychology Tribulations is Handel’s spectacular work and the characters ring true. Dukas’ opera Rinaldo, commissioned to show off the was adapted from Maeterlinck’s symbolist wonderful modern machinery of Aaron Hill’s play, itself loosely based on Perrault’s tale Queen’s Theatre. It had fiery chariots, several of which there are several musical versions: transformation scenes, and mermaids, and it’s Bartók’s highly effective Bluebeard’s castle, a definitely a trial and tribulation for the stage fun operetta by Offenbach, and even a recent crew, if for no one else. All this is because the musical. It’s such a good story, after all.

It was of jewels. Pity the stage manager who has successfully revived by Zurich Opera in 2003, to set that up and then tidy up afterwards. In set in an airport lounge, with escalators and charge all the way, Ariane collects up the other Bond girls. I think Handel would have loved wives, organises an escape route, and when it and it certainly would have appealed to the they won’t follow her sweeps off to freedom flamboyant Aaron Hill! with her nurse in tow, leaving them to tend to a Do join us At the Opera for Trials and beaten Bluebeard.

Tribulations on Wednesdays in June at 8pm.

In Offenbach’s The tales of Hoffmann, Hoffmann, too, is in search of the perfect, non-existent love, and he spectacularly fails every attempt at a relationship. The character is an actor’s nightmare: things happen TO him, and he lets them happen. His drinking friend Nicklausse has more character development.

The problem is that The tales of Hoffmann is now out of context.

CD REVIEWS DISTANT BELOVED

Beethoven, Schubert, Richard Strauss, Wagner Simon O’Neill, tenor; Terence Dennis, piano Decca 481 7905 HHH½

The term Lieder implies a form of song in which the piano, instead of merely accompanying, has its own voice in a pairing of equals.

Congruence between voice and piano is all, and creating it makes unique demands of both. In short, the pianist must play a little like a singer, and the singer must sing a little like a piano. The great Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau was blessed with a voice that naturally sounded almost piano-like. He had lasersharp intonation, a seamless tessitura, and in Gerald Moore found a ‘Ginger Rogers’ to his ‘Fred Astaire’.

Simon O’Neill has a very different voice from Fischer-Dieskau. As his excellent sleeve notes reveal, he began singing as a Lieder baritone.

He is now a fine Wagnerian heldentenor, and brings a heroic timbre to this collection of Lieder, together with some operatic habits,

MENDELSSOHN STRING QUARTETS

String Quartets and Lieder Greta Bradman, soprano; Tinalley String Quartet Decca 481 7967

HHHHH

Australia is home to a large number of musical groups, many of whom are now as active overseas as they are at home. One such group is the delightfully named Tinalley String Quartet (which apparently takes its name from the laneway that runs through the University of Melbourne’s Parkville Campus where the quartet was formed). Last year the group released its first CD, a pairing of the Debussy and Ravel string quartets. This second release is a beautifully crisp rendition of Mendelssohn’s First and Second String Quartets.

String quartet no 2 in A minor is actually the first that Mendelssohn wrote. Although written in 1827 when he was 18 years old, it wasn’t published until after the E flat major Quartet, hence the numbering. Both quartets were written very shortly after the death of Beethoven, and it’s not hard to discern the

ADRIANA

Francesca Prihasti Independent

HHH

Francesca Prihasti is an Indonesian-born, now New York-based, pianist whose compositions are inspired and dedicated to special places and beings. On her recently released third album, Adriana, the pianist/composer has surrounded herself with a new ensemble of mainly New York musicians to explore her latest original works. She is joined by her husband, the Australian guitarist Nic Vardanega who provides colour and texture to her musical imaginings.

Prihasti is a generous band leader allowing all of the players a good chance to shine. Her piano remains the centre of the arrangements, juxtaposing her strength as a composer as well as her capacity to converse and interact with her peers. It’s fascinating to consistently hear

including a portamento that salutes O’Neill’s hero Fritz Wunderlich, but which this reviewer found a little trying.

Accordingly, your response to this CD is likely to depend on whether you’re an opera fan, interested in knowing what all the German Lieder fuss is about. O’Neill’s grasp of Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder is predictably sure and the collection starts with, and takes its name from, the first true Lieder cycle, Beethoven’s To the distant beloved. It also embraces the apogee, albeit in voice/piano form, represented by Richard Strauss.

If, on the other hand, you’re a hardened Lieder nut, the intrusion of the opera stage into your beloved parlour may prove a little indigestible.

influence of the Master’s late string quartets on the young Mendelssohn. That said, the Tinalley String Quartet brings them to life with a crispness of tone and clarity of phrasing that almost makes one think they may have been written last week.

Between the two quartets are five of Mendelssohn’s Lieder. Originally written for piano, they’ve been transcribed for string quartet by Australian composer Calvin Bowman and are on the whole delightful, although I have to say that I found the string accompaniment of the three, which are sung by soprano Greta Bradman, somewhat distracting. Long may the Tinalley String Quartet continue to produce CDs of this quality.

Michael Morton-Evans

her chart a middle course, melding emotion and intellect, while deftly combining piano trills, suave phrases and rapid flights offering a steady stream of ideas without overloading the music or sounding laboured.

Whether reflecting on times past on Time traveller, featuring Dave Pietro’s outstanding saxophone playing, or being inspired by Van Gogh’s painting on Stargazer, with Mike Rodriguez’ mournful flugelhorn, it’s a genuine pleasure to hear the ease with which she unites several themes and gleefully swings all the while. This album is reaffirms Prihasti’s stature as a wise, articulate and energetic piano stylist.

MUSICAL FAMILIES ELIZABETH HILL LOOKS AT DIFFERENT STYLISTIC TRAITS Giuseppe and Giovanni Battista Sammartini were among eight children of Milan-based Alexis Saint-Martin, a French oboist. After studying with their father, they were soon playing in an orchestra, and performing on the continent and in England. Yet their careers would take them on very different paths.

When Giuseppe emigrated to England in 1728, he was already recognised as a promising composer owing to the publication there of his 12 Trio Sonatas a year earlier; but it was his skill as an oboist that made him a celebrity.

Playing under the direction of Bononcini and Handel he transformed the playing of the oboe, gaining fame as ‘the greatest oboist the world had ever known’. Charles Burney praised his music as being ‘full of science, originality and fire’. Sammartini’s career advanced when he was hired as the music master for the Prince of Wales, for whose family he worked from 1736 until his death in 1750.

There was a lot of opportunity for misnomer and misattribution of Giuseppe and Giovanni’s works. So it was in London that Giuseppe became known as ‘il Londinese’ to distinguish him from his stay-at-home younger brother, Giovanni ‘il Milanese’, who remained predominantly in Milan.

Giovanni Battista Sammartini by Domenico Ricciardi

Writing in a later Baroque style, Giuseppe shared stylistic traits with his baroque contemporaries, but also incorporated the use of the galant style, and Sturm und Drang (extreme and stormy emotions). His progressive musical trends included featuring four to five movements, with slow transitional movements, in some of his concertos and orchestral works, and starting a sonata with a slow movement.

The two brothers developed markedly different styles: Giuseppe bore the stamp of conservative English taste, and Giovanni was

one of the instigators of an important new genre.

At first Giovanni was content with writing sacred music but gradually turned to instrumental composition. Called the true father of the symphony, Giovanni’s most important contribution was the composing of nearly 80 symphonies, ahead of Haydn. His popularity was such that C.P.E. Bach was worried that, when his own symphonies were being performed in Milan and Padua, they just wouldn’t match the quality of those composed

by Sammartini. Giovanni’s most famous pupil was Gluck, and his renown quickly spread all over Europe. The young Mozart took note of him as did Myslivecek, who announced he had discovered the source of Haydn’s symphonies, to which Haydn snorted ‘Nonsense!’

on the state of musical drama at the time.

The work was frequently reprinted and is an important document in the early history of opera.

His older brother Alessandro enjoyed a comfortable life that gave him the scope to pursue his interest in music. He held concerts in his home town and also composed and published several sets of concertos, including six concertos under the title of La Cetra, as well as cantatas, arias and violin sonatas.

He often composed under the pseudonym Eterio Stinfalico, his name as a member of the celebrated Arcadian Academy.

Confusion often surrounded the works of composers who came from large musical families. Many of the instrumental works once believed to be by Benedetto Marcello are actually by others and some of Alessandro’s music has been misattributed to Benedetto.

The brothers were born into a highly respected and influential Venetian aristocratic family whose rank decreed that they should receive a thorough education in music and the other arts, but that the only appropriate career for them was in jurisprudence. The younger Benedetto’s life was a strange mixture of the political and the artistic. A composer, poet and diplomat, he occupied several important government positions, but was what 18th century chroniclers called a ‘dilettante’ (not a dabbler as in the current vernacular, but an aristocrat who also pursued musical composition as a sideline).

Besides several oratorios and operas, he wrote over 400 cantatas, and published collections of chamber, orchestral and instrumental music.

His individual, at times eccentric, style didn’t submit to any of the fashionable trends of the time and he set the stage for the Classical era in Western music.

As a poet he is especially remembered for his setting of the first 50 psalms, his translation of John Dryden’s Timotheus as a text for one of his own cantatas, a libretto for Ruggeri’s opera Arato in Sparta and for an amusing pamphlet in which he vented his opinions

Benedetto Marcello

Although his works are infrequently performed today, he is regarded as a very competent composer. His La Cetra concertos are ‘unusual for their wind solo parts and use of counterpoint within a broadly Vivaldian style, placing them as a last outpost of the classic Venetian Baroque concerto’. Bach’s keyboard concerto (BWV 974) is an adaptation of an oboe concerto in D minor which was long believed to have been composed by Benedetto Marcello but is now known to have been by Alessandro.

This month we will also hear a concerto for two pianos by Mozart played by the Dutch piano duo, brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen, who have been performing together since childhood.

Music by these brothers can be heard on Tuesdays 4 and 18 at 2pm.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME CHRISTOPHER WATERHOUSE CELEBRATES CY COLEMAN 14 June 2019 marks what would have been the 90th birthday of Cy Coleman, award-winning composer, pianist, conductor and producer. Born Seymour Kaufman in New York, he was a child prodigy, displaying extraordinary talents as a classical pianist. He gave recitals at Carnegie Hall and New York’s Town Hall while he was still a boy, but as he grew into adulthood he discovered jazz and never looked back.

He formed the Cy Coleman Trio and enjoyed great success with numerous records and many live gigs across America. In the trio format he worked with Charlie Smith (drums) and Aaron Bell (bass) in 1958, with Ed Thigpen (bass) in 1959, and in the 1980s formed a new trio with Ron Zito (drums) and Jonathan Miller (bass). It’s a shame that very few of the Cy Coleman Trio albums were transferred to CD. As a result, his jazz trio work doesn’t enjoy the wide appreciation that it deserves.

Coleman’s talents as a composer were first realised when he teamed up with the lyricist Carolyn Leigh in the 1950s and 60s, writing some of his biggest-ever hits including Witchcraft, You fascinate me and The best is yet to come, songs that became jazz standards and were made famous by the chart-topping recordings of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and countless others.

With Leigh, Coleman turned to the bright lights of Broadway and began writing for musical theatre, providing the scores for Wildcat (starring Lucille Ball) and Little Me. However,

on Broadway. He felt ill at the party and he and his wife Shelby went to the hospital where he collapsed and died from a heart attack. He was 75. The next evening the lights of Broadway were dimmed in his honour.

Leigh became increasingly frustrated that Coleman, because of his jazz commitments, was so often out of New York and therefore not available for writing projects. They went their separate ways and Coleman teamed up with the legendary Dorothy Fields. Together they wrote the scores for the hugely popular and successful musical Sweet Charity and the almost forgotten Seesaw. Their professional partnership was flourishing but was cut short in 1974 when Dorothy Fields died suddenly from a heart attack.

Coleman continued to write for Broadway, with music for I Love My Wife in 1977 and On the Twentieth Century in 1978. Then, in 1980, he composed and produced the musical about circus showman P.T. Barnum. Barnum is one of my favourite musicals. It’s very difficult to stage because of the demands made on the performers, as Todd McKenny, Rachel Beck and company will attest, as they juggle, dance and tightrope-walk their way through this high-energy musical in the current Melbourne production. The score is divine; Coleman’s The colours of my life is perhaps the bestknown and best-loved of the songs from the show.

Coleman lived life with a full palette of colour.

In a 2002 interview with Playbill online he said: “I started off as a concert pianist. I think like a musician. In other words, if you are a musician, you’re liable to play a concert playing Mahler in the evening, and you’re liable to do a rock date in the morning. I feel as though I have a lot of colours in my palette and I want to use them.”

On 18 November 2004, Cy Coleman attended the opening night party of the play Democracy

JUNE 2019

Cy Coleman is best remembered for his many compositions, but he kept up his jazz playing until his death. Just weeks before, he joined Gary Haase (bass) and Buddy Williams (drums) to play a series of jazz gigs at Feinstein’s at the Regency in New York. In interviews he was asked why he’d stopped performing; did he no longer enjoy it, perhaps, or had people stopped asking to hear him play? No, the truth was simply a matter of time. His work as a composer demanded much attention and, given his fame and popularity, in the end he found it impossible to accept jazz bookings and chose instead to focus on his writing.

I’m pleased that Coleman kept writing because I love so many of his compositions, but I’m sorry that he didn’t continue with his jazz because there are so few recordings of him in the trio format. There are tales of some session recordings made in the early 2000s that were never published; I wonder if in this anniversary year we might see and hear them at last? If so, the best of Cy Coleman may be yet to come.

A special edition of Friday Jazz Session devoted to the music of Cy Coleman will be presented on Friday 14 June at 7pm.

A LIFELONG AFFINITY WITH FINE MUSIC PAMELA NEWLING TALKS TO DAVID HILTON As a member of the Volunteers Committee, David also contributes to the development of policies and procedures that govern the way in which volunteers perform their tasks, in addition to other volunteer activities throughout the year. He says this also gives him a greater insight into the other areas of the station.

1974 holds significant and happy memories for David Hilton. It was the year he married and it was also the inception of 2MBS-FM (now Fine Music 102.5). He listened to the first broadcasts on his new FM receiver and has been a constant listener ever since.

Upon retirement from full-time employment, and looking for some voluntary work, David heard a call from the station for volunteers.

He decided to see if he could be of assistance and has worked in the library since 2013.

Attention to detail is an essential part of the role, which involves collating and checking the CDs and other supporting material for a particular day from the programs compiled by the programmers. It also involves second checking previously collated programs.

Another component of the work is to download CDs donated by record companies, burn CDs and initiate the entry of these into the station’s CD catalogue.

David says that what he enjoys about working at the station “… is the reward of knowing that in some small way, I am contributing to the

David’s working life started with a very short period as a trainee teacher, followed by a slightly longer spell in the state public service.

In 1973 he began a career of 40 years working in Information Technology and has seen it develop from humble beginnings to become a massive industry. success and continuity of the station. I enjoy working with a team of like-minded people and absorbing some of the vast body of knowledge of the station’s volunteers.” He comments that one of the bonuses of working at the station has been the ability to expand his own knowledge and appreciation of a wider sphere of music, composers and performers than when he started.

Musical favourites for David include opera (particularly the Italians), and the big-name composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn and Dvorák, but he is constantly finding new favourites. David says: “Unfortunately, my own music-making capabilities are non-existent so I rely on those great musicians of the past and present to provide my musical entertainment.”

I’ve mentioned before that most of our articles are based on programs that we are broadcasting in the particular month. Sometimes a writer presents an idea for an article and a program is prepared to support that article.

Most articles are commissioned to support programs, including program series, anniversaries of composers and premieres of well-known works.

Also, within an assigned budget, the Programming Committee plans the broadcast of longer 20th century (or later) choral works for which Fine Music has to pay a very large copyright fee depending on the length of the work. We always point you to these through an article without mentioning the cost.

Articles not related to programs are those about volunteers or the youth outreach of Fine Music. Also most front covers are
