It’s Christmas once again, and this year we celebrate with a December/January double issue. As in previous years, 2MBS Fine Music Sydney will broadcast 24/7 throughout the Festive Season -–Handel’s Messiah is always a favourite, so don’t miss it on Saturday 23 December. This month also marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Maria Callas, arguably the finest female singer of the twentieth century. Derek Parker reminds us just how great she was, not only for her extraordinary voice, but also her incomparable acting technique. You may remember that in our October issue, we previewed the Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival, headlined by the amazing Cécile McLorin Salvant. Barry O’Sullivan went along to her concert at the City Recital Hall, and regales us with the highlights of her performance. The Sydney Symphony Orchestra has an illustrious history, from its humble beginnings in the early 1900s to its present reputation as one of the finest symphony orchestras in the World. That reputation took a knock in 1947, however, when its Chief Conductor Sir Eugene Goosens, recently appointed after a successful nationwide tour the previous year, became embroiled in a scandal that rocked not just the SSO, but the conservative music and political circles of post-war Sydney. Would there have been such an uproar today, had a comparable musical figure been arrested at Sydney Airport with pornography in their luggage and a penchant for the occult? Lyndon Pike revisits the events that led finally to Goosens’ resignation from the NSW Conservatorium and the SSO, nursing a severely diminished reputation that never recovered, leading to failing health and a premature death in 1962. david.ogilvie@finemusicsydney.com

Sir Eugene Goossens: Symphonies, Sorcery and Secrets Lyndon Pike looks at the scandal that befell a once acclaimed conductor

For over four decades, speculation and theories have swirled around Goossens’ disgrace. Some speculated conspiracy and blackmail, while others even connected it to the Petrov spy scandal. However, evidence came to light that began to unravel the mystery, exposing a tale of the conductor’s reckless sexual obsessions and a connection to a mysterious paganist and witchcraft circle in Kings Cross, Sydney.

In the annals of classical music history, the name Sir Eugene Goossens was once synonymous with genius and grandeur. An acclaimed conductor and composer, Goossens left an indelible mark on the world of music, particularly here in Australia. In 1946, Aynsley Eugene Goossens made his debut to the Australian audience when he embarked on a nationwide tour under the auspices of the ABC. This tour proved to be an overwhelming success, leading the ABC’s general manager, Charles Moses, to extend two distinct opportunities to him. The first was to become the inaugural permanent conductor of the newly established Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and the second was to assume the role of director at the New South Wales State Conservatorium of Music. It is worth noting that the combination of these two roles reportedly yielded a higher income for Goossens than that of the prime minister at the time.

Eugene Goossens’ fascination with the occult and pagan symbolism was not a recent development. Throughout his life, he had close associations with individuals like Cyril Scott and Philip Heseltine (known under the alias ‘Peter Warlock’), both deeply involved in black magic and paganism. His interest in the esoteric was a constant companion throughout his life. In 1947, Goossens assumed his roles in Australia, accompanied by his American wife, Marjorie Fetter-Foulkrod. They settled in Wahroonga, Sydney, as Goossens transformed the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. However, his life took a curious turn during a visit to a local bookstore. Here, he stumbled upon a volume titled The Art of Rosaleen Norton, brimming with explicit pagan and occult imagery. This discovery rekindled Goossens’ long-standing interest in the occult, leading to an encounter that would ultimately define his legacy.

However, his legacy is marred by a scandal that unfolded in the early hours of March 9, 1956, at Sydney’s Mascot Airport. One that revealed an enigmatic chapter in Goossens’ life, uncovering a story of obsession, recklessness, and sexual indulgence that led to his shocking downfall. Goossens, at the zenith of his career, disembarked from a Qantas Constellation jet, unaware that his life was about to take a startling turn. Customs officers and detectives were waiting for him, revealing that his luggage contained an astonishing array of sexually explicit material, masks, a film viewer, and incense sticks. Among the seized items were 837 photographs, eight books, a set of prints, and one film reel, marking the beginning of a stunning fall from grace.

Unbeknownst to Goossens, Rosaleen Norton was the notorious ‘Witch of Kings Cross.’ She was well-known for her affiliations with the occult and her explicit, often scandalous, art. Goossens and Norton shared a fascination with the occult, particularly Thelemic magic, a spiritual system founded by Aleister Crowley. Their connection grew into into an intense, intimate relationship, meticulously documented in letters and notes. They both delved into rituals, ceremonies, and esoteric practices, reflecting their common fascination with the mystical and spiritual realms. Goossens’ obsession with Norton’s art and her ‘mystical’ qualities fueled their connection, leading to a series of sexual rituals and intimate encounters. Their association garnered significant media attention, as their unorthodox relationship and interests stood in stark contrast to the conservative norms of 1950s Australia. While the shocking discovery of explicit material in Goossens’ luggage at Mascot Airport marked the beginning of his downfall, it was just the tip of the iceberg. A thorough police investigation had already unearthed damning evidence against him. This evidence primarily focused on Goossens’ involvement in ‘Sex Magic’ rituals with Norton and her partner, Gavin Greenlees. The evidence, reinforced by Goossens’ own admissions, left little room for doubt. In numerous letters and notes, Goossens explicitly described his participation in rituals involving sexual stimulation, revealing the depths of his involvement in a world of sexual experimentation. Once the Customs officers at Mascot Airport uncovered the explicit material, Goossens was plunged into legal proceedings, eventually pleading guilty to possessing obscene material, resulting in a fine of £100, the maximum penalty.

However, the more serious charge of ‘scandalous conduct’ was curiously never pursued, raising questions about potential interference from influential individuals in Sydney’s social and political circles. Goossens’ career in Australia crumbled as he resigned from both the ABC and the NSW State Conservatorium. As the scandal unfolded, Goossens’ wife, Marjorie, publicly stood by him, refuting rumors of a separation. Yet, the couple never lived together again. Goossens faced a rapid decline in his career and health, with his return to the United Kingdom marked by failing performances and diminishing opportunities. In June 1962, at the age of 69, Sir Eugene Goossens died in a Swiss hospital due to a ruptured ulcer. The legacy of Rosaleen Norton, the Witch of Kings Cross, and her partner Gavin Greenlees, ended in tragedy as well. Norton faced cancer and died in 1979, remaining committed to her pantheistic beliefs. Greenlees, who grappled with mental health issues, died in a mental institution. The explicit material seized from Goossens’ luggage was returned to the Customs Department and subsequently destroyed, erasing a significant piece of evidence and leaving historians with limited access to this extraordinary chapter in Australia’s cultural history. The revelation of Eugene Goossens’ secret life and scandal is a testament to the complicated interplay between private desires and public personas. The recent discovery of police documents and letters brings new clarity to a story that has fascinated and perplexed the world for decades. Eugene Goossens’ fall from grace reminds us that even the most celebrated figures can harbor hidden secrets that challenge our perceptions of their legacy.

The World of a Symphony: Popov and Shostakovich By Paolo Hooke

“But to criticise the piece for this is to ignore the fact that the seemingly rambling and at times incoherent structure is the point of the work. The music is grandiose and bombastic because it is about grandiosity and bombast. It is meant to overstate.” Shostakovich is portraying the world in which he lived to devastating effect; ‘gigantomania’ was a term used to describe the public mood of the 1930s Soviet Union in which everything big was celebrated.

Imagine living in an age where in a stroke, your life could be erased from the pages of history while being forced to rejoice through clenched teeth and a bitter heart. A world whose very social fabric was being ripped apart at the seams and replaced with fear, betrayal, lies, and above all, terror. Russian composers Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-75) and Gavriil Popov (1904-72) lived in such an age: the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Popov completed his Symphony no 1 in 1934. It is a striking work, composed in the idiom of expressionistic catastrophism, with a mood of doom and near-hysteria. Tragic, dissonant, and apocalyptic, it cinematically depicts the world the composer inhabited. Popov’s symphony shares many similarities with Shostakovich’s Symphony no 4 and in many ways was the work’s predecessor. Remarkably, Popov’s intense opening Allegro energico is sustained for over 20 minutes. Piling crescendo upon crescendo, with relentless rhythmic energy and extreme orchestration, the effect is overwhelming.

Shostakovich withdrew his Symphony no 4 from performance during rehearsals in 1936. Earlier that year, articles in the official Party newspaper Pravda entitled ‘Muddle Instead of Music’ and ‘Balletic Falsehood’ had condemned Shostakovich’s opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District and his ballet Limpid Stream. The composer’s existence was changed forever. As he recounts in his memoir Testimony: “Two editorial attacks in Pravda in ten days - that was too much for one man. Now everyone knew for sure that I would be destroyed. And the anticipation of that noteworthy event has never left me.”

Shostakovich seems to have used Popov’s Symphony no 1 as a creative stimulus for his own Symphony no 4 which he completed in 1936. The spirit of Mahler haunts Popov’s symphony, and Shostakovich is known to have admired Mahler, to whose music he was introduced by his close friend, the Russian musicologist and critic Ivan Sollertinsky.

Shostakovich’s Symphony no 4 was only premiered by conductor Kirill Kondrashin and the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra 25 years later, in 1961. Sadly, Popov’s Symphony no 1 suffered a similar fate – orchestras and publishers considered the piece to be too hot to handle and were afraid to go near the work. The writer and musicologist Per Skans, who had an encyclopedic knowledge of music in the former Soviet Union, writing in the CD sleeve notes accompanying the first recording of Popov’s Symphony no 1, describes it as a sensational work: “It emerges with honour even if we compare it with Shostakovich’s work from the same period, and it is scandalous that the political narrow-mindedness of the period has caused it to remain in oblivion until now.”

Mahler famously said, “the symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything,” and Shostakovich’s Symphony no 4 is undoubtedly massive. “Even though it calls for an orchestra of 125 musicians, its real excess lies in its form, or rather its apparent lack of form,” says the eminent British conductor and Shostakovich specialist Mark Wigglesworth, in his notes on the symphony.

The terrifying world of the 1930s Soviet Union which Shostakovich and Popov portrayed is revealed in a quote from Liubov Vasilievna Shaporiny’s diary for 21 November 1937 about the Leningrad premiere of Shostakovich’s Symphony no 5: “The audience was beside itself and gave a frenzied ovation – a deliberate protest against the persecution to which poor Mitya (Shostakovich) has been subjected. Everyone repeated one and the same phrase: ‘He answered, and he answered well.’ D.D. (Shostakovich) came out pale, biting his lip. I think he could have broken into tears. I met Popov: ‘You know, I’ve become a coward. I’m afraid of everything. I even burned your letter.’” Wigglesworth writes in his notes that Shostakovich must have had mixed feelings about the ultimate, if belated, success of his Symphony no 4: “questions of what might have been, the memory of those difficult times, perhaps even artistic guilt about abandoning the modernist musical path he had been following. Though there is a dynamism and impetuosity in this piece that never appears again in his work, the challenge of having to write more popular music whilst at the same time remaining true to himself may have been a valuable discipline, without which he would not have touched so many. Maybe being ‘reined in’ was the best thing that could have happened to him. Alternatively, one could regard the change of style that followed the events of 1936 as a tragedy and lament the loss of a fantastically brilliant and original mind, and only try to imagine what direction he might have taken his music had he been allowed to remain artistically free.”

Ode to the Fourth Symphony A darkened mass of clouds passes silently through the sombre Soviet sky, as the echoes of an approaching train reverberate throughout the midnight air, its muted horn sounding a distant note of warning. Suddenly the beast has arrived, its glaring light blinding the eyes, and its shrill screeching shattering the silence into a shower of splinters. Like a giant machine that might run off the rails at any moment, it lurches from side to side, belching a sinister smoke and spilling blood alongside tracks of sharpened steel which slice through the harvest of sorrow and fields of famine. It has no conductor yet hidden behind the cold metal lies a weeping mass of starving humanity destined for the frozen tundra and windswept plains of the Gulag Archipelago, the tormented cries of a lost generation seeping through the bolted bars of its carriages. Pistons are propelled faster, cogs driven to breaking point as more coal is thrown onto the raging fire to satisfy the beast’s insatiable craving. It speeds furiously along like a demonic tornado, relentlessly destroying everything in its path. As the savage blows of a kettle drum sends fluttering butterflies into a hysterical panic, a raging river of molten lava sets the slopes ablaze in a line of fire, the landscape charred, and the trees stripped bare of leaves. As the grim echoes of the train fade into the distance, a tragic horizon saturates the sky in a terrible darkness, there is no exit from a catastrophic age.

Maria Callas: incomparable voice and stage presence Derek Parker celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Maria Callas It was during the Second World War, in Germanoccupied Athens, that Maria Callas began her career as a professional singer. Born in New York in 1923, she had been brought to Greece by her domineering mother after her parents’ divorce, and at fourteen was enrolled in the Greek National Conservatoire. In 1939 she sang in public for the first time at a students’ concert – choosing for her début an aria from Tosca. This led to performances in small roles at the Greek National Opera, and she continued to sing professionally during the German occupation – the only way in which she could curry favour with the Nazis and obtain food. But it was only by fleeing to America during the following civil war did she avoid being murdered by the Communists, who executed collaborators – including Greece’s most prominent actress, Eleni Papadaki. Callas’s career failed to prosper in New York, however; her first public success was in the arena at Verona, where, championed by the conductor Tullio Serafin, she triumphed as La Gioconda. But it was in 1949, at La Fenice in Venice, in the role of Elvira in I Puritani, that she gave a performance the magnificence of which sent ripples throughout the European opera scene and as far away as the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

The rest of her story celebrates her as the soprano who became defined as the finest female singer of the twentieth century (with the possible exception of Chaliapin), although her career was not without self-inflicted problems. Almost as legendary an enthusiast for pasta as for music, she allowed herself to become obese, and when persuaded reluctantly to take action, within a year went to the other extreme, losing eighty pounds (36 kg). Some critics said that her voice suffered because of the dramatic weight loss, but she also became the most beautiful woman on the opera stage. More damaging was her nine years’ affair with the Greek shipping owner Aristotle Onassis. She gave up singing for seven years, hoping that he would marry her, but he rejected her in favour of Jacqueline Kennedy, the widow of the assassinated American President. She resumed her career, but her voice had lost some of its assurance, though her stage presence remained phenomenal, its apogee in her appearance opposite her friend Tito Gobbi, in Zeffirelli’s production of Tosca. Apart from her extraordinary voice – utterly individual, and always under astonishing control despite its tremendous force which could almost become stridency – she had an incomparable acting technique, and a stage personality only rivalled by the dancer Rudolf Nureyev. No matter how obscure her entrance, one’s eyes flew to her the moment she appeared, and never left her while she was on-stage. No female singer has equalled her in voice or performance; no-one who was at one of her performances can ever forget her.


Sophie Hutchings: In a natural way Lyndon Pike talks to the Australian neoclassical composer

I first encountered the music of Australian pianist Sophie Hutchings back in 2010 via her album Becalmed, which served as the soothing soundtrack on my car’s stereo as I drove laps of my suburb late at night to lull my first-born child, a notoriously difficult sleeper, to rest. I told Sophie he’s heard that album more than most. I also connected with Sophie to discuss the healing power of music, her new album A World Outside, her upcoming show at the City Recital Hall and more. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind your new album and the journey that led to its creation? This album was a unique experience for me. In the past, my music has often emerged from a more subconscious and intuitive process, where I let my emotions guide the composition. This time, however, I had a clear intention. I embarked on a road trip across various landscapes in Australia. How did these landscapes and environments influence your music and the album? Australian landscapes have always played a significant role in my creative process. I connect with my music emotionally by immersing myself in the surroundings. I’m an adventurous person, and I find that taking time away from music to explore challenging environments can be incredibly stimulating. The simplicity and raw beauty of these places often strip away distractions and allow me to connect with the essence of my music. Unlike previous works where my music evolved organically, this time there was a deliberate intention behind it. I felt the need to explore Australia’s rich history and ancient landscapes firsthand. The road trip provided the perfect opportunity for that, given the unique circumstances we all found ourselves in following COVID. It got me reflecting on the significance of our own Australian heritage and how important it is to experience it in person.

Can you describe how your journey into indigenous music and diverse cultural influences shaped your approach to creating music for this album? Initially, I delved into the study of the land, preparing myself for the journey. My longstanding interest in the musical traditions of the Asian diaspora, Middle Eastern vocals, Indian ragas, and Persian classical music led me to explore indigenous music. Surprisingly, these traditions weren’t all that different from one another. This got me thinking about how I could incorporate elements of these diverse influences into my music, given their origins from such distinct places. How did this preparation and exploration of various musical traditions impact your creative process during the journey? Once I set off on the journey, I intentionally put aside thoughts of music. Instead, I focused on observation and emotional absorption. It is like allowing non-thinking thoughts to permeate your being. For me, this experience was about digesting these emotions and translating them into a musical journal. Music becomes a way to convey these experiences, a language I’ve used since childhood. Despite being outgoing and gregarious as a child, music served as my shy and observant side, and I’ve come to realise it’s my primary means of communication.

Can you explain your approach to composing music? My method is rather unconventional. I’ve always relied on expressing my music directly at the keyboard, without notating it. It’s how I’ve always made music. When I was younger, I had a classical teacher who realised that sight reading wasn’t my strength. She saw that I had an ear for music and encouraged me to explore my creative abilities. How do you remember your compositions when you don’t notate them? Muscle memory plays a significant role in this process. As I grew older, my reliance on notating music lessened. For my own compositions, I create basic chord charts, then I fill in the melody and often rely on my intuition. While I use scores when working with other musicians, they disrupt my creative process when creating my own music. Does this approach lead to improvisation during live performances? It used to result in more improvisation, but as I gained experience, I became more meticulous in my approach. For this tour, there might still be some room for improvisation, but I’m becoming more particular about how things are done. When performing with strings, I need to synchronise with them, so it’s a balance between intuition and fitting in with the ensemble. When creating music for visual media, such as documentaries and soundtracks, how does your process differ from your personal compositions? When composing for visuals, it’s a 50/50 collaboration between the visuals and my emotional engagement. I view it as a partnership, like working with another musician. However, I always ensure that my emotional connection remains pure. It’s a place of non-thinking thoughts where my emotions steer the creative process.

Can you share some of your rituals or habits that help you get into a creative flow? I have a few rituals that set the stage for my creative process. Firstly, I’m a water enthusiast year-round. A quote I read recently from Leonard Cohen resonated with me. It goes, “If you don’t become the ocean, you’ll become seasick every day.” I make it a point to immerse myself in the ocean every morning, regardless of the weather. I find the ocean to be incredibly calming and almost medicinal for the mind. It’s a great way to start the day. Of course, a good cup of coffee is a must for me. I’m a coffee snob and often daydream about my morning coffee the night before. It’s a comforting routine. How do you manage the balance between the business and creative aspects of making music? It’s a constant juggling act. You can’t effectively multitask at the same time. You have to allocate time to focus on one and then the other. When business admin tasks are looming in the background, it can distract your creative headspace. You have to be organised and ensure the business side flows smoothly without hindering your creative process. When you have an album out, there’s so much going on in the background that it can push the creative work to the back burner. Listeners often don’t realise how much work and time it consumes when music becomes your job. Managing the two aspects is the biggest challenge for me. Have you noticed increased interest and engagement with the neoclassical genre from a local perspective? The neoclassical scene has been gaining traction in Australia, thanks to some influential artists like Nils Frahm, Max Richter, and, more recently, Hania Rani. It’s fascinating to see the interest and enthusiasm grow among audiences here. Australians love this music, but the challenge lies in exposing them to it and educating them about its beauty. Neoclassical music offers a sense of emotional freedom and a deep connection to feelings without the need for words.

16


How can neoclassical music gain more prominence in Australia, and what barriers need to be overcome? One challenge is the limited number of venues and platforms dedicated to this genre. In Australia, we have fewer options compared to Europe, which has a well-established neoclassical scene. We need to create more avenues for people to discover this music, beyond large venues and festivals. It’s about diversifying the outlets and informing people about the music. The interest is there; it’s just a matter of making it more accessible and known. It’s not a lack of interest; it’s a lack of visibility and exposure. Your music has a unique Australian essence to it. How do you think your version of neoclassical music sets you apart from European counterparts? I’ve always incorporated various elements of Australian nature and landscape into my compositions that set them apart. For instance, during a camping trip, I was surrounded by howling dingoes in the middle of the night, and I grabbed my Zoom recorder to capture the sounds. These recordings became part of the album and introduced a unique Australian element. I’ve also recorded the sounds of birds, especially in tropical regions like Darwin, which adds to the Australian character of my music. The landscape and the ancient, moody quality of the Australian land have had a significant influence on the album’s personality. Have you had any memorable experiences with your audience, either during live shows or after the shows, that stand out to you? One story that comes to mind involves a very elderly woman who was an artist in Germany. She used to paint while listening to my music and would send me her paintings. During one of my European tours, she and her husband attended my concert. Tragically, not long after my return to Australia, her husband passed away. She sent me a beautiful poem and asked if she could play my music at his farewell. Stories like this, especially during the past few years and the challenges of COVID, are heartwarming and encouraging. Knowing that my music touches people’s hearts is very moving.

The Sibelius Kullervo Symphony Dan Bickel investigates the work’s epic background

The Kullervo Symphony, an early composition by Jean Sibelius, is a five-movement work for soprano, baritone, male choir, and orchestra. The premiere took place on 28 April 1892 in Helsinki and was both a great success and a breakthrough for Sibelius in establishing his career as a composer. It also came at a time when Finland was trying to gain independence from Imperial Russia and critics praised the work for its strong nationalism based on the Finnish language national epic, The Kalevala, and for evoking the melody and rhythm of Finnish runic singing. However, subsequent performances received only lukewarm reviews. Sibelius withdrew the manuscript and it wasn’t revisited until 1958, the year after his death. The Kalevala is the national epic of Finland and a central part of Finnish culture. It is based on oral folklore compiled by Elias Lönnrot during long trips as a district health officer in Karelia and elsewhere in eastern Finland. The Kalevala was first published in 1835 and comprises 50 runes, telling the story of the Finnish people from the beginning of the world to the end of pagan times. It relates the adventures of several main characters and involves conflict, kidnapping, seduction and magical spells. The protagonists of these stories often have to accomplish feats that are unreasonable or impossible, leading to tragedy or humiliation. During the 1890s, Sibelius was associated with the nationalistic-cultural group Nuori Suomi, or Young Finland, promoting Finnish distinctiveness, free from the cultural dominance of Sweden and Russia. The Finnish painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela was a founding member of the group and enjoyed a friendship with Sibelius.

Although both men were born to the Swedishspeaking ruling class, they spoke Finnish and made a point of adopting the Finnish culture, and landscape for their work. The Kalevala proved to be the ideal focus for their nationalistic and artistic feelings. The Kullervo Symphony is based on the tragic story of Kullervo, a troubled character who is vengeful and angry. Raised as a prisoner of his father’s murderer, Kullervo survives all attempts to kill him and ruins every task he is given. Sold into slavery and tormented by his master’s wife, the Maiden of the North, Kullervo arranges for her to be eaten alive by wolves and bears. He runs away, meets a girl and abducts her. She turns out to be his own sister, and when she finds she was seduced by her own brother, she commits suicide from shame. Kullervo becomes mad with rage, destroys the clan of his father’s murderer using his magical powers, and then commits suicide by falling on his sword. Like much of his output, the music Sibelius composed for these Kalevala episodes is strong and elemental, evoking the primeval boreal landscapes of Finland. His music is an essential part of Finnish cultural heritage. Interestingly, the author of The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien, was strongly influenced by The Kalevala during his undergraduate days at Oxford, and some of the themes from the Finnish epic ended up in his own work. And a book published posthumously, The Story of Kullervo, is a collection of several manuscript texts by Tolkien, including a prose version of the Kullervo cycle and essays on The Kalevala.

The Messiah in Australia By Paul Cooke

This Christmas, 2MBS Fine Music Sydney will be broadcasting a performance of Handel’s Messiah by the Canberra Choral Society Massed Choir and Orchestra. What better time to visit some highlights of its history in Australia? The Messiah has also often been used for ceremonies and celebrations. In 1859, the opening of the University of Sydney’s Great Hall was marked by a five-day music festival, which including a choir of 250 and an orchestra of 50 performing Handel’s oratorio and Haydn’s The creation. In 1888, a Centennial Exhibition in Melbourne featured four or five performances by a Centennial Choir and Orchestra of 800 musicians. An editorial in The Age suggested that the Messiah “constitutes a semi-religious festival that has the rare merit of being completely unsectarian”. The Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956 included a rendition of the Hallelujah chorus by a 1200-voice choir.

The Messiah was written in about three weeks in 1741, to a libretto selected from the scriptures by Charles Jennens, and received its premiere in Dublin on 13 April 1742. However, it wasn’t until a century later that its first full-scale performance took place in Australia. The date was 31 August 1842, the venue Sydney’s Royal Victoria Theatre. The occasion was organised by James W Johnson, organist at St Mary’s, and Thomas Leggatt, who conducted both choir (‘20 trebles, 12 altos, 14 tenors, 16 basses’) and orchestra (‘including clarinets, horns, trombones and two bass drums’). The Sydney Morning Herald reported before the event that the “forthcoming Oratorio is expected to come off with great éclat next week, the amateurs having done what amateurs will seldom do, attended the rehearsals and been well drilled”, and noted afterwards that the audience had responded “to an appeal to their sympathy from the indigent and afflicted” and that “hospitals and asylums for the unfortunate” benefited from their charity.

Several Fine Music volunteers have had a lengthy engagement with the Messiah. Sue Ping Kee has been singing since 2004 with the Combined Churches Choir, 18 times in the Sydney Town Hall, once in the City Recital Hall, and twice in memorable concerts in New York which included singers from all over North America and neighbouring island nations. She says that “singing it is heaps more fun than sitting listening!” Peter Poole has been singing the Messiah every year or two for over 25 years, most recently with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs directed by Brett Weymark. He finds that “there is always something new to discover … whether it is dynamics, tempo (Brett does like ‘brisk’ pacing), or the interpretation of some of the arias by talented professional soloists”.

One of the defining features of performances of the Messiah was that they were, from the beginning, very often charitable occasions, with the Dublin premiere aiding charity and performances in London from 1746 helping to support the Foundling Hospital. In Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald noted that excerpts from the Messiah were given at the Victoria Theatre in 1845 for the benefit of the Commercial Reading Rooms and Library. More recently, one of the reasons behind the Combined Churches Choir presentation at Christmas of the Messiah has been to raise money for charitable causes. This is organised by Radio Community Chest, which celebrated its 80th anniversary performance of the oratorio in 2020.

His highlights include rehearsing with Teddy Tahu Rhodes, and a rather special 2015 performance with a signing (Auslan) choir. Peter deserves the last word with this observation: “at the conclusion of the Amen chorus, after two hours and 40 minutes of music, I am always vocally and emotionally spent, but also uplifted by being part of the massed voice rendition of a deservedly loved masterpiece of the choral repertoire.” Saturday Matinee: Choral masterworks, Saturday 23 December, 2:30pm

Dale Barlow: A Remarkable Saxophonist & Jazz Composer By Louise Levy Dale Barlow, the renowned Australian jazz saxophonist and composer, was born on December 25, 1959, in Sydney, New South Wales. His musical journey began with the piano, but it was his transition to classical flute and clarinet during his teenage years, alongside jazz courses at the New South Wales Conservatorium, that unveiled his true calling. Music flowed through Dale’s veins, with his father, Bill Barlow, being a respected reed player. In 1979, Dale’s exceptional talent was displayed as he performed with the Australian Youth Orchestra at the prestigious Monterey Jazz Festival, a pivotal moment in his burgeoning career. In 1982, Barlow embarked on a life-changing journey to the United States, particularly New York, initially for further studies. His remarkable talent swiftly saw him playing and recording with jazz legends like The Cedar Walton Quartet and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, both important training grounds for young jazz musicians. During his time in the New York scene, Barlow collaborated with luminaries such as Chet Baker, Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, Kenny Barron, and Gil Evans. He also toured the world constantly, performing regularly at major jazz festivals throughout Canada, Europe, Japan, Asia, and the Soviet Union, and recording with many jazz greats. Barlow also ventured into the world of pop music, working with artists like Bryan Ferry, Style Council, and Mental as Anything! Following his return to Australia, Barlow received numerous accolades, including Album of the Year, Jazz Performer of the Year, International Artist of the Year, and the prestigious title of Bicentennial Artist of the Year, also earning four Mo Awards, and a Master of Music degree from Canberra University.

A noteworthy chapter in his career involved his collaboration with Paul Grabowsky in the formation of Wizards of Oz, an Australian jazz quartet. The quartet featured Barlow on tenor saxophone, Grabowsky on piano, fellow Necks band members Lloyd Swanton on bass, and Tony Buck on drums. Their acclaimed album Soundtrack, released in 1988, earned the 1989 ARIA Award for Best Jazz Album, cementing its place in Australian jazz history. Throughout his career, Barlow has continued to create remarkable music, leading his own groups, and participating in various musical projects. With a distinctive appearance, a shaved head, and a hard bop tenor saxophone style, he became a favorite among fellow musicians, and a commercially successful artist. His charismatic presence and musical prowess made him a prominent figure in the jazz world, leading to appearances on television variety and talk shows where he displayed his talent and charm. A career highlight was the creation of Treat Me Gently, a collaborative recording featuring exceptional musicians, including Barlow, George Coleman Jr. (US), Mark Fitzgibbon, and Sam Anning. This quartet epitomized swing and authenticity, with a mix of original compositions and classic standards, demonstrating the high level of musicianship, excitement, and inspiration in their sound. In recent years, Barlow has toured as a member of Billy Cobham’s band. He continues to work as a band leader, recording artist, and as a hired soloist, composer, and arranger with numerous other groups. His extraordinary talent and contributions have left an indelible mark on the jazz landscape, making Barlow a true icon on the Australian and international music scene.

The talent of Cécile McLorin Salvant Barry O’Sullivan reviews her headline performance at the Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival

There is no doubt that Cécile McLorin Salvant has been blessed with a unique vocal instrument. Commencing classical piano lessons at the age of five and then singing in a children’s choir at age eight, she began classical voice lessons as a teenager and progressed to university level in France, where she studied baroque and jazz music (as well as law) at the Darius Milhaud Conservatory in Aix-en-Provence. Salvant then went on to win the Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition in 2010 and has received three Grammy Awards for Best Vocal Album. Since then, her international reputation and live performance career has skyrocketed. At thirty-four years of age, she is an engaging and generous live performer who utilises exaggerated facial expressions and dancing hands to speak of a lifetime absorbed by the traditions of storytelling from her Haitian ancestry. At her performance as the headliner of the Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival at the City Recital Hall, she delivered a vaudeville-like rendition of Barbara Song from Brecht and Weil’s The Threepenny Opera, a Burt Bacharach medley of the hackneyed Promises Promises and the little known and obscure The Last One To Be Loved, and the Rodgers and Hart jazz standard I Didn’t Know What Time It Was. The female troubadour twelfth-century ditty, Dame Iseut, was sung in Occitan, plus a wistful interpretation of the Kate Bush classic Wuthering Heights, and a restrained version of The Trolly Song, among the many others. Salvant journeyed on an eclectic ride through her repertoire of originals, old-fashioned delights and show tunes, all the time holding her captive audience in the palm of her hand with her enormous talent. Operating with what appeared to be no set playlist, her stellar trio of musicians, with the exceptionally flamboyant pianist Sullivan Fortner at the helm, reinterpreted her repertoire with agility and a stellar rhythm section of Kyle Poole on drums and Yasushi Nakamura on bass. But the overall concert belonged to Cécile McLorin Salvant with her glorious, versatile voice and her innate ability to sing you a song and reinterpret it like you never heard it before. The voice, which has a fabulous upper and lower range that easily matches the more popular vocal greats of the past, was matched perfectly with the superb world-class sound system and acoustics of the City Recital Hall, making every word clear as a bell as she delivered humour, pathos, and passion. For me, Salvant’s only flaw was her attempt to cover everything vocally; performance momentum could have been strengthened overall by ditching the pedestrian Bacharach selections and concentrating on a more direct path of vocal choices. That is only a minor criticism of a world-class performance from a singer with an exceptionally talented band deserving the standing ovation they received.

Volunteer Spotlight: Neil McEwan AM Laurie Smith talks to presenter and new 2MBS board member, Neil McEwan

Tell us about your career in music I began as a school music master in the late 1960s, then moved to the ABC as a concert manager. Early on, I worked on Youth Concert Series in all six states. I was honoured to manage the opening concerts at the Sydney Opera in October 1973. It was a privilege to attend those great concerts and meet the artists. Some remain friends 50 years later. Later, as a program planner, I scheduled live concerts for broadcast and worked with artists and conductors on repertoire for the (then) ABC orchestras’ subscription series. A particular highlight was to organise the 1988 tour of Olivier Messiaen: France’s gift to Australia for the bicentenary. Listening to Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie played by the MSO in his presence was the experience of a lifetime. In 1989 I retired from the ABC, went back to university for graduate study, and was appointed as a lecturer to the Sydney Conservatorium. I was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to further my studies in Germany and France. This ultimately led to my completing a PhD specialising in Gregorian chant. After nearly 30 years in tertiary education, I retired in 2018.

What music do you most enjoy? Our family were all musical and my mother gave me my first piano lessons. That led me to take up the study of the organ and helped to develop my love of church music. I enjoy everything from 10th century Gregorian chant through to the 21st century, but I have a particular love for 16th and 17th century choral polyphony.

What influenced you to volunteer with Fine Music? I was a guest on In Conversation with Michael Morton-Evans soon after I retired. After the interview, I was asked to audition as a presenter, and was delighted to be accepted.

Would you like to share any special musical moments? On a personal level, I treasure the memory of conducting Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius and Britten’s War Requiem at the Sydney Conservatorium, as well as conducting J.S. Bach’s Mass in B minor at Christ Church St. Laurence. These were the most rewarding and memorable experiences that I have ever had in my musical career.

As a presenter, no day is the same. Preparation and research are absolutely necessary. I check and re-check, and nervously wait for the second hand to come up to the hour on the clock, only then pressing ‘On Air’. Once underway I really enjoy presenting the music. I have to say though, that once committed to the 2MBS Fine Music ‘family’ it sometimes feels like you’ve never retired.

Do you have time for other interests outside Fine Music? After retiring, I joined the Choir of St Paul’s Anglican Church, Burwood. A few weeks ago, we sang the Mass for Four voices by William Byrd (in his anniversary year) – what a fulfilling experience that was!

CD REVIEWS George Walker – Five Sinfonias National Symphony Orchestra Gianandrea Noseda, conductor. National Symphony Orchestra NSO0007

The American composer George Walker lived a long life, passing in 2018 at the age of 96. Only in his later life did Walker receive the acclaim that his talents deserved, and it was in 1996 that he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for music, the first African American to receive the award. He continued composing throughout his later years, and the five sinfonias featured on this new recording from the National Symphony Orchestra, dated from 1984 to 2018. Walker embraced a style that encompassed European modernism, and these sinfonias are spiky, strident, and rhythmically acute works. Yet,

I still hear them as American, reminding me of Copland and Bernstein as well as Hollywood film scores. The performances of the National Symphony Orchestra are remarkable, imbued with a commitment to conveying this extraordinary music. This commitment is especially present in the Sinfonia no 5, where four vocalists interject a message of truth, acknowledgement and respect. This is a work of righteous, positive anger that is both humbling and inspiring.

I imagine that the title of this release refers to the fact that the musicians involved hail from different hemispheres, but have also performed together in both the USA and Australia. Luke Severn is Australian and currently the artistic director and principal conductor of the Bendigo Symphony Orchestra. He is a cellist and, as a champion of contemporary repertoire, has commissioned a sonata from his friend Evan Fein. Fein is from Cleveland, Ohio, and is a composer, pianist, and teacher with a division of the Juilliard School. On this album they play Fein’s Sonata for Cello and Piano No 2 and Brahms’s Sonata

for Cello and Piano no 1. Fein describes the first movement of his sonata as ‘serene, warm’, the second as ‘redemptive, resonant’, and so on: I was impressed by the steely resolve and sense of purpose and destination that underpinned the varied moods of the composition. Grieg saw the Brahms as a ‘landscape torn by mists and clouds, in which I can see the ruins of old churches’, an apt description for both pieces, Brahms with his echoes of Bach, Fein with his hints of Brahms.

Checkmate

Charlie Chech www.charliechech.com

There were the great crooners like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Tony Bennett. Then there are the modern-day equivalents like Michael Bublé and Harry Connick Jnr. And now there is Charlie Chech, a young Sydneysider with a debut EP, Checkmate. He was part of the prestigious Talent Development Project, being mentored by Peter Cousens AM, and has sung on-stage with Michael Bublé. What makes him different is a warmth and sincerity to his voice. Checkmate features five carefully re-imagined classics,

29

a delightful mix of jazz standards including Summer Wind made famous by Frank Sinatra, and Almost Like Being in Love by Nat King Cole. But add the modern magic with Your Latest Trick by Dire Straits, and Billy Joel’s New York State of Mind, to make an EP to enjoy. Having trained as a drummer, Chech understands the enchantment of rhythm, but it is his clear voice with superb open tonality that carries the elegance of song. – Keith Pettigrew

Hungaroton 31658-59 1:56 At a countryside café, the return of a servant made good, Fumeo, now calling himself Count Fumana, causes havoc amongst the villagers. Before the morning is out, Count Fumana has agreed to marry no less than three of the eligible women of the village. As his faithless promises are found out, the women conspire to embarrass him. After the Count is ambushed by the villagers, Dorina and Lisetta pretend to be doctors and trick him into agreeing to marry another (imaginary) woman as payment for their services. After being insulted by the Count, they reveal themselves to his acute embarrassment. Order is returned when Lisetta’s father, Caligo, the owner of the café, proposes that she should marry the dancer, Bellagamba. Dorina, however, who was formerly betrothed to Cicala, will now only be happy with Fumana. Bellagamba’s dancing partner, Scafetta, accepts a proposal from the owner of the café.

Sullivan, A. The pirates of Penzance. Operetta in two acts. Libretto by W.S. Gilbert. First performed London, 1879.


FREDERIC: Phillip Potter, ten RUTH: Christene Palmer, cont MABEL: Valerie Masterson, sop MAJOR-GENERAL STANLEY: John Reed, bar PIRATE KING: Donald Adams, bass D’Oyly Carte Opera Company; New Promenade O/Isidore Godfrey. Decca 425 196-2 1:45 At the end of his 21st year and his apprenticeship, Frederic leaves the pirate band when Ruth reveals that he should have been apprenticed as a ship’s pilot, not a pirate. He meets a group of beautiful young girls and he and Mabel fall in love. The pirates capture the girls. The Major-General arrives and, having heard that the Pirates of Penzance are orphans and that they release captured seamen who are orphans, the Major-General tells them he is also an orphan and the girls are his daughters. The pirates release them. The Sergeant of Police and his corps arrive to capture the pirates. The Pirate King and Ruth tell Frederic that he is still bound to his apprenticeship as it was worded to end on his 21st birthday and, as he was born on 29 February, only five birthdays have passed. Frederic rejoins the pirates and informs the Pirate King of the Major-General's deception. The pirates attack and the police are easily defeated. The Sergeant demands that the pirates yield ‘in Queen Victoria's name’ and, overcome with loyalty, they do so. Frederic and Mabel are reunited, and the Major-General is happy to marry his daughters to the pirates who turn out to be noble-born. Overture to Macbeth (1888).

established order. Haroun is playing dice with his friends. Splendiano offers his love to Djamileh saying that she will regain her freedom if she accepts him. She proposes that she disguise herself and that Splendiano present her to Haroun as his next slave-girl. If she fails to win Haroun’s heart, she will give herself to Splendiano. Splendiano interupts the gambling to say that the slave-merchant has brought a new girl. She dances, but Haroun remains indifferent and returns to the gambling. Then Djamileh enters again, veiled and in a dancer’s costume but, when she immediately turns to leave, Haroun’s interest is aroused and he stops her. He sends Splendiano to take his place at the gaming table. Djamileh, who loves Haroun, is anxious and begins to cry but Haroun consoles her. Moonlight begins to fill the room and Haroun recognises her and realises that she loves him. He tries to resist his own feelings but to no avail and Splendiano’s hopes of winning Djamileh are dashed. 22:30 MUSIC OF THE NIGHT Prepared by Dan Bickel Bizet, G. Children's games (1871).

CBS M2K 44982 2:18 Violent storms have been caused by Juno’s jealousy so, Thespis, after a drunken night, decides to hold an entertainment to help


Jupiter overcome the jealousy of his wife, Juno. He enlists the help of Thalie, Momus and Cupid who plot that Jupiter would pretend to fall in love and marry the ugly marsh nymph, Platée. The plan is that Juno will realise that Jupiter could not love one so ugly and would overcome her jealousy. Platée, who imagines that any male coming to her pond falls madly in love with her, is delighted that Jupiter will descend from the heavens and declare his love for her. The plotters send Juno to Athens. Jupiter arrives in the form of a donkey, then as an owl and finally as himself. When Juno returns during the wedding ceremony, the plotters persuade her to hide until the right moment to reveal herself. Jupiter stalls when it is time to exchange vows, waiting for Juno to appear. When Platée raises her veil, Juno realises that Jupiter could not marry someone so ugly and that it is all a joke. Jupiter and Juno are reconciled and the gods ascend to heaven while the humiliated Platée returns to her pond. Berlioz, H. Chant guerrier, op 2 no 3; Chant sacrée, op 2 no 6, from Irlande (1829).

Lyrics by Charles Taylor. First performed Manchester,1907. TOM JONES: Richard Morrison, bar SOPHIA: Marianne Hellgren Staykov, sop SQUIRE WESTERN: Donald Maxwell, bar BLIFIL: Ashley Bremmer, bar BENJAMIN PARTRIDGE: Richard Suart, bar LADY BELLASTON: Gaynor Keeble, mezz National Festival Ch & O/David Russell Hulme. Naxos 8.660270-71 1:50 Tom Jones, a foundling brought up by Allworthy, and Sophia Western are in love. Squire Western wishes her to marry Blifil, Allworthy’s nephew and heir. Sophia rejects Blifil’s proposal. Tom knocks Blifil down in a fight. Efforts are made to blacken Tom’s character. Western angrily rejects Tom's request for Sophia's hand. Sophia, accompanied by her maid, runs away. Blifil and Squire Western, in pursuit of Sophia, arrive at an inn where they meet Benjamin Partridge who knows about Tom's birth. Sophia and her maid arrive but they and their pursuers remain unaware of each other's presence. Next to arrive is Tom, with Sophia’s cousin, Lady Bellaston, whom he has rescued from highwaymen. She is very grateful to her rescuer leading Sophia to think that Tom is unfaithful. She leaves with Tom in pursuit. Eventually Tom finds Sophia living with Lady Bellaston in London. Sophia now realises that she was mistaken in doubting his fidelity. Partridge has told Squire Western the secret of Tom's birth: he is Allworthy's elder nephew and therefore his heir. Western now gladly consents to Tom and Sophia's marriage.

Naxos 8.111280-81 2:10 The old Count di Luna had two sons, but when one died, he burned a gypsy woman at the stake for bewitching him. The young Count di Luna, in love with Leonora, is jealous of her love for the troubadour Manrico. Azucena, daughter of the gypsy, tells her son Manrico that she had seized the Count’s son in revenge but, in trauma, she threw her own son into the fire and so raised the Count’s son as her own. The Count attacks Manrico, who escapes. Leonora, believing him to be dead, decides to take the veil but Manrico snatches her from the altar. In revenge, the Count condemns Azucena to be burned. Manrico rushes to help her but is captured and sentenced to die with his mother. Leonora buys his freedom by offering herself to the Count but poisons herself before Manrico is freed. As Manrico is executed, Azucena’s revenge is to reveal that the Count has killed his own brother. Ballet music from Jerusalem (1847). BBC PO/ Edward Downes.

ALVIANO: Heinz Kruse, ten ADORNO: Alfred Muff, bass TAMARE: Monte Pederson, bar CARLOTTA: Elizabeth Connell, sop PODESTA: László Polgár, bass Berlin Radio Ch; German SO/Lothar Zagrosek. Decca 444 442-2 2:51 Near 16th Century Genoa, the hunchbacked nobleman, Alviano, has built an island paradise that he has called Elysium. He wishes to donate the island to the people of Genoa and negotiates with the Duke, Adorno, to make it occur. Alviano does not know that a group of noblemen, including Tamare

have appropriated a grotto on the island to hold orgies with women they have abducted. Tamare tries to get the Duke to veto Alviano’s donation. Tamare next has his sights on Carlotta, daughter of the nobleman, Podesta but she refuses his advances, claiming that she is only interested in Alviano. Later, while Carlotta is painting Alviano’s portrait, they admit their love for each other and faint in a moment of extreme emotion. The people of Genoa rejoice at the beauty of the island and Alviano takes the opportunity to ask Podesta for Carlotta’s hand in marriage. However, she evades his gaze and ignores his words, before wandering off alone. Alviano looks for her frantically, finally finding her at the secret grotto, where Tamare has had his way with her. Alviano kills Tamare but when Carlotta awakes, she calls out for Tamare and Alviano, now a murderer with a broken heart, stumbles aimlessly through the stunned crowd.

RICHARD: William Sharp, bar JENNY: Dominique Labelle, sop LUREWELL: Jeffrey Thompson, ten THE KING: Thomas Michael Allen, ten COURTIER: Tony Boutté, ten RICHARD’S MOTHER: Delores Ziegler, mezz RICHARD’S SISTER: Yulia van Doren, sop Opera Lafayette O/Ryan Brown. Naxos 8.660322 1:12 The farmer, Richard, who is also the head gamekeeper of the forest, fears the worst when his betrothed, Jenny, enters the castle of the lustful despot, Lurewell. Jenny escapes and assures Richard that she has not suffered ‘a fate worse than death’. During a violent storm, the king’s hunting party gallops past Richard’s cottage. The king becomes separated from his hunting party and is fearful of the forest after dark. He meets Richard and tells him that he is a courtier. Richard invites him home for supper. Lurewell and a courtier are also lost and Richard’s gamekeepers arrest them as suspected poachers. In Richard’s cottage, his mother and sister attend to their guest but are embarrassed by the humble fare that they offer this nobleman. The king basks in the warmth of the hospitality. Some political commentary regarding monarchs ensues and the king tells them that a king’s happiness is to make others happy. Finally, the king reveals his true identity, banishes Lurewell, bestows a knighthood on the humble farmer, Richard, and gives Jenny a dowry so that she can marry Richard.

Retrospect Opera RO007 45 At a late-night festival, the players of a commedia dell’arte troupe are masked and disguised as Pierrot, Columbine and Harlequin. They perform like marionettes with wooden gestures. After their show for the King and Queen and other aristocrats, Pierrot is exhausted and falls asleep. He just wants a few moments alone where he is not expected to make jokes. Columbine believes that Pierrot thinks that she does not love him because, in the show, she left him for Harlequin. When Pierrot wakes up, he hears the voices of the Queen and the Lover nearby. Columbine returns and sees the Lover, disguised as Pierrot, embracing the Queen. The King demands that Pierrot reveal the name of the Lover but Pierrot remains silent because he, himself, has always loved the Queen. A bacchanale follows and, at its end, Pierrot’s body is found. He has stabbed himself rather than betray the Queen. Mrs Waters’ aria, from The Boatswain’s mate (1914-15). Eiddwen Harrhy, sop; Plymouth Festival O/Philip Brunelle.

19:00 PLANET JAZZ with Xavier Bichon 20:00 AT THE OPERA Opera oscura: Murder and misdeeds in Memphis Terradellas, D. Sesostri, re d’Egitto. Opera seria in three acts. Libretto by Apostolo Zeno and Pietro Pariati. First performed Rome, 1751. SESOSTRI: Sunhae Im, sop AMASIS: Kenneth Tarver, ten FANETE: Tom Randle, ten NITOCRIS: Alexandrina Pendatchanksa, sop ARTENICE: Ditte Andersen, sop Royal Chamber Opera Company/Juan Bautista Otero, Isidro Olmo. RCOC 1102/3 3:34

The setting is Memphis, capital of ancient Egypt. Sesostri is the youngest son of Aprio, the former king of Egypt. Aprio was assassinated by his Prime Minister, Amasis, who now rules in his place. A child at the time, Sesostri was the sole survivor of the plot and retained his late father’s sword. Retrieved by the nobleman, Fanete, Sesostri was raised far from the court with no knowledge of his royal lineage. Amasis remains in power, increasingly resented by his people, while Sesostri grows up. Amasis wishes to marry Nitocris, Aprio’s widow, but she detests him. Before assuming power, Amasis was betrothed to Ladice and they had a child, Osiris. Amasis subsequently banished them from the kingdom. Many years later, Ladice is dying. She writes to Amasis asking him to take care of Osiris, whom she sends to Memphis with a guardian and with the ring that Amasis gave her. Fanete is observing Ladice in secret. Seeing Osiris as a rival to Sesostri as a claimant to the throne, Fanete instructs Sesostri to seek out Osiris and his guardian and kill them. Osiris dies but the guardian survives. Bearing the ring and the letter as well as Aprio’s sword, Sesostri presents himself as Osiris to Amasis, claiming that he has killed Sesostri and acquired the sword. Amasis readily believes him. While living with Fanete, Sesostri had fallen in love with Fanete’s daughter, Artenice. Tired of Nitocris’ rejection, Amaris is also interested in Artenice. Amaris receives a message from Osiris’ guardian indicating that Sesostri is pretending to be Osiris. Sesostri confesses, and Amaris imprisons him. Artenice pleads for his life. Amaris tries to get Nitocris to join in the torture of the false Osiris, but she hesitates. After Artenice explains that the prisoner is in fact Nicotris’ son, Nicotris offers to die in his place. Before the execution can take place, Fanete arrives to announce that the people of Egypt have staged a revolution. Amaris is deposed and Sesostri is restored to the throne. Durante, F.
