EVOLUTION OF A ‘MAGAZINE’

This publication started out as ‘Stereo FM Radio’ in 1975, when 2MBS was a fledgling radio station. The first text was “cut and paste”, where ‘galleys’ were painstakingly glued to artboard before being photographed by a platemaker and then loaded onto a printing press.

All that has changed. The current production process starts as text in a word processor. This is laid into page layout software, uploaded to a shared cloud, sub-edited, then produced as two final versions — one for the print process and the other as a digital booklet.

From the outset, it has been time-consuming. And mostly done by dedicated volunteers. On some occasions MBS has employed professional layout operatives. The print process we’ve engaged up to now is becoming less sustainable. Most magazine recipients read on tablet, their computer or mobile phone. We’ve been heading towards non-print issues for some time now. The time has come to step into our next lifetime by concentrating on where the eyeballs are focusing. This is the last edition of Fine Music Magazine that will have a print component, and I thank our printer, John, from Roman Printing Services, Rydalmere, for his patience and forbearance. It’s not easy dealing with us!

Onward. The April edition of Fine Music Magazine will be fully ‘digital’, that is – online only. All you’ll need to do is click on the link in the e-mail we’ll send you toward the end of the month. Easy. And if you’re a premium subscriber you’ll receive a link to the program guide (usually about 28 pages, as a PDF) which you can print yourself – in any size of your choosing.

The next edition of Fine Music Magazine will be edited by Mona Omar in a move that returns the responsibility to 2MBS staff when a major change is imminent. And if you believe you have the ‘chops’ to edit this fine publication, please contact the station.

2MBS Jazz Artist in Residence 2025 AiR Profile

Catherine Peake interviews jazz singer Liz Player

Liz Player will use her 2MBS Fine Music 2025 Jazz Artist in Residence role to rehearse with her quartet, develop new headline shows and record her first studio album (her first live album was released in 2023). As she continues her studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music this year Liz is already looking to further her career next year with a possible move to the United States. Aiming to combine further study with performance, Liz will continue in her trajectory as an Australian international jazz singer.

Can you tell us what led you to jazz?

When I was growing up my house was always filled with music. Though my family weren’t musicians they loved listening to every genre and exposed me to the great jazz singers. As I reached primary school I was always singing and tried out lots of genres in choirs and as a Schools Spectacular featured artist. During that time I discovered a natural affinity for jazz. I loved the freedom it gave me and once my first singing teacher, Natasha Cupitt, encouraged me to try improvising, I realised it was unlike anything else. From there I went to the Sydney Conservatorium High School and learned classical vocal technique and operatic repertoire. However, my heart was always in jazz and I joined my first jazz ensemble, led by Judy Bailey, in year 10.

This path was consolidated in year 12 when I graduated from the Talent Development Project, a competitive NSW public schools program in which hundreds of students are whittled down to 14 graduates. In this program, under the guidance of Peter Cousens, I was encouraged to find my unique voice and embrace what I love. This led me to fully define myself as a jazz singer, put on my first headline show

and begin a Jazz Performance degree at the Sydney Conservatorium in 2022. There I have studied under jazz legends such as Kevin Hunt, Craig Scott and Steve Barry.

What are the challenges and rewards in creating and performing your music?

Jazz can be simultaneously the most freeing and daunting music to create. Finding the balance between respecting the lineage of the music and not while expressing your own voice is definitely a challenge. For a performer jazz represents a tightrope between risk and reward, as experimentation is intrinsic to the music. This is also what makes it so deeply rewarding. Every time I step on stage the music feels like a live wire for which you can’t help but be fully present. Being able to connect directly with audiences not only through the storytelling of the lyrics but also through improvisation is an absolute gift. There is no better feeling than taking risks on stage and when they don’t come off the way you planned, embracing the new possibilities they present.

You will be working with your quartet while at 2MBS Fine Music. Can you tell us about the quartet and some of the works you will be creating?

Emerging out of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music Jazz Course, The Liz Player Quartet is made up not only of some of the most incredible young musicians in Sydney but some of my greatest friends. With Sabine Tapia on bass, Tom Odell on piano and Matt Simmonds on drums, we have been performing all over Sydney since 2022. During our time at 2MBS we will develop new arrangements and original music to be performed at headline shows. Having already recorded an EP’s worth of music, soon to be announced, we will also head into the studio to record our debut album at the end of the year.

You have played in a number of interesting venues and locations. What are some of the more unusual places?

I have been lucky enough to perform in some incredible places locally and abroad. In Australia these include Luna Park, Government House Sydney, Government House Canberra, the ICC and Qudos Bank Arena. I’ve also performed in many regional venues including the Broken Hill Civic Centre, Tamworth Town Hall, Wagga Wagga Civic Theatre and Moree Services Club. Internationally I’ve sung at underground jam sessions across Japan in Tokyo and Osaka and at the Shiga Kogen Roman Museum.

You aim to record your debut studio album, Echoes of Place: An Australian Song Cycle, during your residency. What can we expect from it?

Echoes of Place aims to represent my connection with the spaces that have shaped me. From St Matthews Church in Manly (the site of my naming day) to a classic Aussie pub I grew up visiting, it will explore the ways in which my music and identity have grown. With a firm footing in jazz, the album’s compositions will contain cross-genre influences and soundscapes while incorporating Australian poems and texts. There will also be arrangements of selected jazz standards and folk tunes that have had a great impact on my sound. I aim to collaborate with classical string artists alongside my quartet to create an entirely new sonic palette for my music.

What are some of your future plans?

In 2025 I will complete the final year of my Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance while also performing all over Sydney. With my own headline shows in the works (to be announced), shows in the pipeline with James Valentine and a bi-weekly residency at the Orchard in Chatswood, there will be plenty of opportunities for my audience to catch a performance.

In future I aim to start a Master of Music at a New York university and embark on an international recording and touring career, expanding the Australian contribution to the jazz canon.

Moritz Moszkowski — Incurable Romantic

by Stephen Gard

Stars blaze and fade eternally within the wheeling firmament of music, some more rapidly than others. Ever in quest of your listening pleasure your Fine Music Broadcaster directs its gaze towards the distant glimmer of virtuoso pianist, inspired composer and inspiring teacher Moritz Moszkowski in this centenary year of his death.

Germany likes to claim Moritz as a son. Had he lived another ten years, however, the Fatherland would have disowned him. For Moszkowski was both Jewish and Polish, albeit he was born in Breslau, at that time part of Prussia. Indeed, his elder brother, Alexander – writer, satirist, critic, crony of Albert Einstein – died in Berlin in 1934, an ominous date in history for such as the Moszkowski brothers. Both were wits. The pompous conductor Hans Von Bülow, asserting the superiority of German music, once declared: ‘Bach, Beethoven, Brahms: All the others are cretins!’ To which Moszkowski replied: ‘Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer and your humble servant Moritz Moszkowski: All the others are Christians!’ At a recital by the flamboyant Anton Rubenstein Moszkowski turned to a friend and said: ‘Anton must be sick tonight. He got two of those top notes right!’ Moszkowski, born in 1854, revealed his musical ability early. His instrument was and remained the piano. In 1865 the Moszkowski family moved to Dresden where Moritz enrolled in the conservatory; later he studied in Berlin. He did not achieve success early or easily and once described the force that impelled him

to compose his Opus 12, ‘Five Spanish Dances’ as poverty.

Visiting his friend and employer, composer Philipp Schwarenka, hoping for a loan, he found Schwarenka smoking a pipe. Schwarenka invited Moszkowski to join him but there was no tobacco to be seen. Instead, he pulled a fistful of sea-grass stuffing from his sofa and proffered it. Moszkowski saw the futility of asking him for money.

Returning home he searched his sketch book for ideas and the result was his ‘Five Spanish Dances’. For which, incidentally, his publisher offered him a pittance, claiming that Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and others had always sold their compositions cheaply and that, as a publisher, he felt obliged to follow that tradition. The ‘Spanish Dances’ proved popular, going into many printings and arrangements. The publisher made a good deal of money from them.

Spanish music was all the rage. The folkloric authenticity of Moszkowski’s ‘Spanish Dances’ is dubious, but they showed sufficient colour, rhythm and melody to convince parlour performers that this was the real Hispanic thing. They soon made him a favourite and put some much-needed funds in his pocket. He wrote further works revealing an ethnic influence – From foreign lands, op 23, Caprice Espagnol, op 37, Neue spanische Tänze in E flat, op 65 no 1 and, as a tribute to his own heritage, Polnische Volkstänze, op 55.

In time Moszkowski achieved such renown as an outstanding concert pianist that he was able to induce Franz Liszt to join him in a recital, playing

Moszkowski’s ‘First Piano Concerto’ in a reduction for two pianos.

In 1884 he married the younger sister of pianist and composer Cécile Chaminade. The marriage did not last long – in 1888 she eloped with the poet Ludwig Fulda. Worse was to come. Moszkowski worked so hard at playing the piano that he caused irreparable damage to the nervous system in his arms, forcing him to give up playing for conducting and teaching and, fortunately, composing. Performers who came to prominence before the age of recording left us merely a legend; composers left a legacy.

In 1897 Moszkowski moved to Paris and shortly after the move his daughter died and his son was conscripted into the army (fortunately he would survive the war). Having sold all his copyrights to his publishers and invested the funds in securities, which became worthless with the advent of the First World War, Moszkowski received no royalties.

He became a recluse, ill and living in poverty. A thorough Romantic, always an admirer of Chopin, Mendelssohn and Schumann, he also became a victim of changing times and tastes. His own brother declared that ‘conditions are now unfavourable for the apostles of absolute musical beauty; the time demands fact and a program; it calls for a Wagner or a Berlioz, as in literature it demands a Zola, an Ibsen, or a Tolstoi.’

Or for that matter a Scriabin, a Schoenberg, a Debussy, a Satie – composers Moszkowski described as ‘artistic madmen’. He ceased teaching composition when his students asked for instruction in the techniques of these disturbing novae.

Yet Moritz Moszkowski’s unfailing brilliance as a teacher and his widely admired music had won him not only many fans but many profound friendships. In 1921, when his plight, both physical and financial, was apparent, a fund-raising concert was held in New

York’s Carnegie Hall — the Americans had long tried to lure Moszkowski to their shores, offering fabulous fees, but he declined the offers.

A galaxy of stars offered their services, raising what in today’s currency amounted to US$175,000, intended to cover his many debts and buy him a life-time annuity. Alas, there were financial complications and he received not a sou. In 1925 he died of cancer.

The fact that Moszkowski’s personal sorrows appeared not to inflect his art resulted in his compositions being held to lack depth. ‘Neither masculine nor feminine,’ as one critic put it. ‘Fails to stir the intellect,’ wrote another, though adding, ‘yet it sets the pulses tingling.’

Enough pulses were set tingling for Moszkowski’s pieces to be included by outstanding pianists in their concert repertoires; weightier works were not disgraced by their company. Moszkowski was styled ‘The Sunshine Composer’.

‘They have a champagne brilliance’ ... ‘Moszkowski is a charmer’ ... ‘Hammock tunes, easy listening on a lazy summer’s afternoon’. ‘His work stands on that wavering border between “light” and “serious” music, where “light” does not mean “negligible”.’

Moszkowski left us concerti, operas, ballets and a host of études and morceaux. The latter include 12 Études de Piano pour la Main Gauche Seule, a work dating from the year 1915, another ominous year in world history.

More and more of Moritz Moszkowski’s work is making itself heard; his delightful and challenging ‘Piano Concerto in E’ is a growing concert favourite. A later generation of music lovers has spotted this modest star and notes its small but brilliant light.

Maurice Ravel –The most private of persons

by Michael Morton-Evans

The 150th anniversary of the birth of the French composer Maurice Ravel will be marked on 7 March 2025. A bizarre, sexless man interested largely in his own privacy, he was the son of a father who, despite having won first prize for piano at the Geneva Conservatory, elected to make his living as a mechanical engineer of considerable ingenuity.

By the time Ravel was 20 he was a mere 1.5 metres tall and severely underweight. It has been said that his huge head made him look like a fledgling bird. To compensate, he grew a curled moustache and a full beard, always wore a three-piece suit and carried a swagger stick like an army officer. He was a demanding soul and contemptuous of people he felt did not measure up to his exacting standards.

He lived an intensely private life, never married and, despite his fairly large musical output, it is really only his songs that show anything of his true character. He was not a cold-hearted man, but the only person he really loved was his mother. He was, by and large, indifferent to women, claiming that his only mistress was music.

So, what do we make of his music? In his early days Ravel said: ‘It was the clicking and roaring of my father’s machines which, with the Spanish folk songs sung to me by my mother, formed my first instruction in music!’ Like his father, he would become an ingenious engineer – in his case, an engineer of music. Together with his older compatriot, Claude Debussy, he was an innovator; a founder of what we call Musical Impressionism. He idolised Mozart and abhorred the Romantics, which is surprising since his music is almost entirely imaginary in essence.

As a student at the Paris Conservatoire Ravel did not cover himself in glory. At 25 he failed to win

the coveted Prix de Rome and the Conservatoire scratched him from their rolls for never having won a prize there. However, he stayed close to one of his teachers, Gabriel Fauré, and through him was able to hobnob with the likes of Vincent d’Indy and Debussy.

Although he did not enjoy teaching, he agreed to take on a few pupils he considered worthwhile, including Ralph Vaughan Williams. Some years later George Gershwin asked him for lessons, but he turned him down on the basis that he considered that Gershwin had already mastered his art.

For all his musical popularity, not everyone agrees on his worth. Colour and technique have been praised over content and a few years after Ravel died one critic even went so far as to write that the whole of his work was nothing more than ‘slick trash’.

For much of his life a question mark hovered over Ravel’s state of mind. When his piece Bolero appeared in 1928, when he was 53, people began to wonder if it was a symptom of some form of dementia.

‘Don’t you think this tune has something insistent about it?’, he asked a friend, while playing it to him with one finger on the piano. ‘I’m going to try and repeat it a good few times without any development, while gradually building it up with my very best orchestration.’ The result? A miracle of originality.

Some believed his Piano Concerto for the Left Hand indicated that one side of the composer’s brain was not functioning. As we know, the work was in fact commissioned by the Austrian pianist, Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in World War 1.

Ravel believed the music of a concerto should be light-hearted and brilliant and not aim at profundity or dramatic effects. This philosophy is also reflected in his only other piano concerto, the one in G major, of which the British music critic, Gerald Larner, wrote

in 2009: ‘If that was the product of a sick brain there should be more of that sickness in the world.’

In fact, the suspicions about his mental state were not entirely unwarranted. By 1931 Ravel’s mental ability was indeed declining. A taxi accident in Paris left him unable to compose much and a summer holiday ended when he found he could no longer coordinate his movements while swimming.

His health gradually declined and over the next six years he went downhill, a brain tumour was suspected and an exploratory operation was performed. While coming out of the anaesthetic he lapsed into a coma and died nine days later, aged 62.

Modern science tells us now that Ravel in fact died of Pick’s Disease, a specific type of frontotemporal dementia, a degenerative brain disease that usually affects people under 65.

The Life of Nancy Weir

An extraordinary musician

by Paul Cooke

In autumn 1938 The Australian Woman’s Mirror ran an article extolling the success of three Australian pianists. Mention was made of Eileen Joyce and John Simons, studying at the Tobias Mattray School of Pianoforte in London and ‘awarded second place and the Woodward Scholarship’. Both had been in Britain for a considerable time: Joyce had made her London debut in 1930 playing Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto no 3 under Henry Wood and Simons had performed Arnold Bax’s Piano Sonata no 3 to the delight of the composer, who then dedicated his 1935 composition, Legend, to him. But the real focus of the article was their younger contemporary, Nancy Weir.

Weir had won ‘every exhibition open to her … including the medal awarded to the most brilliant student of her year’ at the Royal Academy of Music (RAM) and had then ‘crowned her career by gaining the Carol Rowe scholarship, the highest award of the Tobias Matthay School of Pianoforte and one of the highest distinctions obtainable in the world.’ (The examiners were Benno Moiseiwitsch, Myra Hess and Nicholas Medtner – no slouches!) The world seemed to be at her feet, so why is her name not better known today?

Nancy Weir was born in Melbourne on 13 July 1915 and spent her early childhood in Lockhart, in the Riverina region of NSW. There she entertained customers at her parents’ hotel, where the popular ditties and novelty piano pieces she learned stood her in good stead when she later played informal duets with her RAM contemporary, Winifred Atwell. At the age of 10 she was back in Melbourne, studying with renowned teacher Ada Freeman. A week before her 14th birthday she performed Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no 3 with the Melbourne

Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fritz Hart. Even before this she had attracted the attention of several internationally acclaimed pianists. Ignaz Friedman predicted that she would become one of the world’s greatest ‘women pianists’; Shura Cherkassky thought that she was ‘far superior’ to any of the many other students he had heard while in Australia. Such was the popular and critical success of this concert that the mayor of Melbourne raised funds to send her overseas to study.

She studied in Berlin with Artur Schnable from 1930 to 1933, becoming his youngest pupil and the last to have a lesson with him before he left Germany to escape the rise of the Nazis. She moved to London to continue her studies, with Harold Craxton at the RAM and then with Tobias Mattray, and went on to establish a career as a soloist in Britain. In 1936 Henry Wood selected her to play first piano in the Bach Four Keyboard Concerto in the first series of the Winter Proms. The performance was so successful it was later repeated in the Summer Proms. In 1937 she played two solo recitals at the Wigmore Hall in London, receiving flattering reviews for a program that included Bach, transcribed by Busoni, and Brahms’s Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel.

But, as her biographer Belinda McKay has noted, Weir ‘began to make career choices which deviated from the linear structure to which most concert pianists slavishly adhere’. In 1936 she joined the Bangor Trio, an ensemble attached to the University of Wales, whose purpose was to give concerts in Welsh schools, and which gave her a wide experience of playing chamber music.

In 1938, rather than entering the Ysaye competition in Brussels and establishing useful contacts, as her classmate Moura Lympany did, she went on concert tours in Britain with Paul Robeson and then Beniamino Gigli.

The outbreak of war in 1939 stalled the momentum of her career. She joined the Women’s Auxiliary Air

Force and her knowledge of idiomatic German, gained while studying in Berlin, led to work in intelligence, listening into and analysing German radio broadcasts. The headline of her Sydney Morning Herald obituary in 2008: ‘Pianist spied against Germany’, sensationalised and trivialised her very substantial musical accomplishments.

After the war she found it difficult to get well-paid jobs in London, but Australia began to feature more prominently in her career. She toured here in 1951 and The Bulletin was very enthusiastic: ‘Further Sydney recitals … emphasised the complete interpretative mastery … over works of all shades of musical thought … fire of her Liszt-Paganini Variations, the limpidity of the Liszt Sonetta del Petrarca and the purity of her Chopin B minor Sonata will all be remembered.’ In 1953 she took part in a concert organised by the Australian Musical Assocation (recently formed by musicians including Margaret Sutherland, Don Banks and Weir herself), performing Dorian Le Gallienne’s Violin Sonata with Carmel Hakendorf. In 1954 her father became ill, and she returned to Australia permanently.

As her father’s sole carer she was unable to travel long distances or for long periods. She did, however, perform and broadcast regularly for the ABC as

a soloist and chamber musician, and impressed colleagues with her pianism and professionalism. Cellist Nelson Cooke recounts an occasion when the two of them had to make cuts in the Rachmaninov Cello Sonata so that it would fit the allotted broadcast time: ‘... halfway through the last movement, the page-turner dropped the music on the floor! Nancy … finished the sonata from memory, cuts and all! You’d have to know the music and the situation to realise what a triumph that was.’ He also noted that her increasing deafness didn’t affect the quality of her performances.

Weir was the only Australian soloist in the Arts Festival of the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, playing Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the Victorian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bernard Heinze. She participated in a cultural delegation to China in 1958, performing in many Chinese cities.

But her primary focus for the rest of her working life was as an educator. She taught at the University of Melbourne Conservatorium from 1956 to 1966, then lectured in piano at the Queensland Conservatorium from 1966 to 1980. Her lessons made a significant impact on her students.

According to Piers Lane, ‘Nancy was the most extraordinary personality and musician … I was inspired by her.’ Susan Tomes, in her recent book Women and the Piano: A History in 50 Lives, highlights Weir’s ‘commitment to making music accessible, her interest in collaborative music-making and her awareness of the deprivation in remote communities’.

Her experience with the Bangor Trio in Wales and the cultural delegation to China had its logical culmination in her ‘Symphonic Safaris’, during which students travelled around Queensland by bus, giving informal concerts in remote locations. These ’surprise concerts in outback areas have often given untold joy,’ she wrote.

World of Music, Arts and Dance

by Linda Marr

What better place to be than under a huge fig tree soaking up music. Exotic sounds from various stages drift in and out with the wind. People around me are also listening. Some are dancing or joining in with refrains.

World Of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) began in the UK in the 1980s. The Australian version, WOMADelaide, part of the Adelaide Festival, is held in the stunning 34-hectare Botanic Park or Tainmuntilla every year in March when Adelaide ‘throws its arms around the world’. It’s an immersive experience, with 100 000 people gathered from all corners of the country to experience first-class music from around the globe.

Highly skilled musicians, some wearing wonderful heavily decorated costumes, play traditional instruments like lutes, pipes or wooden drums with animal skin stretched over them. Equally skilled blackclad artists play modern instruments in unusual ways. You hear voices swooping or cajoling, singing songs in many languages – some indigenous to Australia, some to other regions of the world. Powerful rhythms warm your heart and make your body move in unexpected ways.

WOMAD is also about change and bringing cultural and musical traditions into the 21st century. You bear witness to the strong connections musicians have with their own traditions and feel the buzz of the electrifying shows they create together.

In 2025, the festival’s 32nd year, the program includes, among more than 700 artists, indigenous Taiwanese artist Sauljaljui and Balkan musical superstar Goran Bregovic.

It was snowing outside Goran’s window on the morning we spoke and I asked if he was looking forward to coming to sunny Australia. His answer was that it wasn’t just the sky that was sunny here, he also finds the people sunny and welcoming.

In following his musical career, which spans 50 years, I have enjoyed his musical collaborations and especially his eclectic soundtracks for Emir Kusturica films

Time of the Gypsies and Underground. His signature Gypsy Brass Band sound is melodic and ornamented yet raw and exciting, featuring trumpets, trombone, sax, clarinet and the giant wraparound sousaphone. Improvisation and high energy are key factors.

I asked him about his 2018 album, Letters from Sarajevo. Featuring collaborations with some of his favourite Jewish, Christian and Muslim artists, it is a collection of love letters to the home of his formative youth. ‘In some small way I am trying to put back together what was broken there by the trauma of war,’ he says

During the pandemic he wrote and recorded the extraordinary orchestral album Belly Button of the World, with a string quartet, the Belgrade male choir, a gypsy brass band, a Serbian singer/vocalist and Bulgarian singers. He will bring to WOMADelaide a pared down version of this that he calls his Weddings and Funerals Band.

‘People are curious,’ he says. ‘They will find even more weird composers than I am. And me from such a small invisible culture. I have an audience.’ The world has shrunk.

Indigenous singer-songwriter Sauljaljui grew up and still lives in a Paiwan mountain village called Kapanan in southern Taiwan. She plays the Chinese moon lute or yueqin – using it mainly as a rhythm instrument –and sings mostly in Paiwan. She says she ‘only speaks half’ the language, as many young indigenous people do today, so she has to work hard at writing lyrics. She understands more than she speaks, however, as she listens to her mother and the old people speaking together. Traditionally they would gather to chat a bit, play and sing a bit, and play some more.

Her highly anticipated new album is titled Vaivaik

(‘Embarking’). In the past few years Sauljaljui has travelled a great deal – meeting and playing with musicians from different islands and countries gives her energy, she says. This has allowed her to reinvigorate her acquaintance with her own culture and gives her the opportunity to delve into other musical cultures and styles.

She likes jamming with the moon lute as she can play all kinds of rhythms on it. Hers is covered in intricate ink designs, which, she explains, are tattoos she has added wherever she has travelled, creating a kind of travel diary that enables her to remember the people she has met and with whom she has played music.

The track ‘Dipin Kari Tang or Bread, Curry, Hedgehog’ is a collaboration with fellow Austronesian maritime people, the Mauritian Taiwu Ballads Troupe.

You can enter this astonishing world for four days in March and hear artists like Goran Bregovic and Sauljaljui with their bands at WOMADelaide. Fully contained within the park it has eight main outdoor stages, some indoor ones and even a stage called Taste the World, where artists share their home-cooked traditional recipes. They chat with the interviewer, explain the recipe and the ingredients and some even manage to sing and play while they cook. The best thing about this venue is that the audience gets to taste the results!

Musical events, particularly those with a strong cultural component, bring people together, not to iron out their differences but to share their intangible treasures. Language, music and traditions all say something about the people who hold them dear. Sharing them makes all of us stronger and connected. It’s what the world needs now.

High Five

Chris Cody pianist, composer and producer

Chris Cody, pianist, composer and producer, has performed and recorded extensively all over the world for 40 years, although he is mostly based in France. He has headlined at many international festivals and a vast array of concert venues throughout the USA, Europe, Africa and Australasia.

He has released 14 recordings on international labels and collaborated on numerous other international albums. Chris has written for theatre, dance, cinema, radio and television.

His latest work, Mountain to Sea, was released in November 2024.

Chris answers five questions posed by Barry O’Sullivan.

What were your earliest musical experiences, and how did they motivate you to pursue a professional musical career?

We enjoyed music and singing at home and my mother played piano and guitar. I learnt piano from age eight and went on to play at school events and concerts, doing piano exams every year. I also sang in the choir and played double bass in the school orchestra and jazz band. I was surrounded by music and listened to and discovered as much classical and jazz as I could. I was always singing on car trips, making stuff up. When I had to play for exams or in concerts, I was nervous but liked the thrill and glow of a performance. Music gave me a special feeling as it was very personal,

but also infinite, like a never-ending exploration, a dialogue with something intangible that challenged and tested me. I started tutoring in both my instruments while at school and began to think of studying and playing at a higher level and making my life in music. I auditioned for the BMus at Sydney University as a classical pianist and was accepted and I did jazz, classical and theatre gigs on the side. I later did the jazz course at the Conservatorium.

What motivated you to further your career away from Australia?

Having completed my tertiary studies and already earning a living through playing and teaching, I was keen to go further, travel, seek out more experiences and explore myself and the world. I read widely and enjoyed European books, films, culture and music. I especially liked France and French culture, and I majored in French at university. When I met a visiting jazz musician from Paris who said I could stay while finding my feet I set out on a one-way ticket via New York and London. It was hard at first, but I went to all the jam sessions, hustled for gigs, met musicians, started getting gigs and going on tours and I ended up living in Paris for 21 years. I met my wife, had two

children in France and made a happy life there. Europe offers more possibilities for concerts, touring, recording, reviews, airplay and working with international musicians. There are over 450 festivals in France alone, and numerous clubs, associations and magazines supporting jazz. Jazz and all art forms are more present in society, in the media, in conversations and even in the supermarkets, where I was impressed to hear Miles Davis being played. The arts are an integral part of the broader culture, whereas here they’re more underground or for a small elite. What elements of the international music scene would you suggest we could benefit from introducing to the local scene?

The Music Trust here has published a number of reports and articles on this, and there have been numerous recommendations. The whole culture has to change to make a difference, which won’t happen overnight. Art and culture have never been as big a part of Australian life as they are in European and many other countries. Contemporary Australia is still working out who and what it is. But briefly, music should be taught in every school, with funding for specialist teachers and band programs, as is the case in Europe and the USA. There should be more government financial support for musicians, clubs and festivals and the broader music industry at local, regional, and national levels, through direct and indirect funding, scholarships, grants and tax breaks. Radio and television could provide more art music content and break the stranglehold of pop and rock. Councils should ease restrictions placed on bars, restaurants, streets and parks. France has a government-backed unemployment insurance system that allows musicians, actors and arts workers to earn benefits for the days they don’t work and also pays them holiday leave. It makes a huge difference to the numbers.

What is your latest musical project and how did you conceive it?

My latest project is Mountain to Sea, an album of pieces and improvisations for a quartet. I wanted to write some beautiful compositions, using diverse motifs and African and French influences to create a unique vibe. I wrote with the musicians in mind, knowing they were good improvisers, who could be experimental and colouristic and explore sounds and textures. I wanted to create an imaginary journey or contemplative album, an antidote to the turbulence and violence in the world right now.

If you had not pursued a professional musical life what would you have liked to have done?

It’s hard to say now, it’s been a while and I have thoroughly enjoyed being a musician, even during the tough times!

My second choice for university was law, as having enjoyed debating and arguing in general, I thought I might be a barrister. But I was accepted into music and just kept on going. I’m very glad! I would be a different person if I had done law. I’d be wealthier but probably have had a less interesting life. I’ve played music all over the world, met extraordinary people and had amazing experiences. Music has enabled me to live exactly the life I wanted to live. I feel very fortunate to do something valuable and enriching for me and for others as well. It’s a wonderful abstract way to communicate, tell stories and share emotions and responses. I’ve also dabbled in writing, mostly poetry and short stories, and done some acting, so I think I was meant for the arts. The 18-year-old me would probably add adventurer and explorer to round out the list.

RECORDING REVIEW

Elementa

Callum Allardice

Earshift Music.

This award-winning guitarist from New Zealand showcases elegance and musicality on an album that emerged from a composer residency at the Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music. Drawing influences from renowned modern jazz guitarists such as Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny, Mike Moreno and George Benson, Allardice expands on ideas that have been developing in his mind for years. He avoids the convoluted fusions and neo-orthodox styles that often prioritise technical prowess over meaningful reflection, instead delivering a refined sound filled with musicality. His lines reflect a deep appreciation for melody and its numerous rhythmic transformations. Collaborating

with Luke Sweeting on piano, Tom Botting on bass and Kikurangi Schaverien-Kaa on drums, Allardice achieves a cohesive style, displaying a natural rapport and excellent rhythmic synchronisation with his trio. Notable tracks include ‘Solitude’, featuring a richly melodious bass solo; ‘Peaceful’, which hints at pastoral Americana, and ‘Stone Eyes’, inspired by Radiohead’s song ‘Glass Eyes’. But beyond personal tastes, this album’s intrinsic value lies in its careful purpose for reworking a strong tradition, perhaps thanks to musical updates like the compositions featured, that can be discovered by the younger jazz generations.  — Barry O’Sullivan

20:00 AT THE OPERA

The 19th Century opera, Part 3 Prepared by Camille Mercep

Goldmark, K. The Queen of Sheba. Opera in four acts. Libretto by Hermann Mosenthal. First performed Vienna, 10 March,1875.

QUEEN OF SHEBA: Klára Takács, mezz SOLOMON: Sándor Sólyom-Nagy, bar ASSAD: Siegfried Jerusalem, ten SULAMITH: Veronika Kincses, sop Hungarian People’s Army Male Ch; Chorale des Jeunesses Musicales de France; Hungarian State Opera Ch & O/Ádám Fischer. Hungaroton HCD 12179-81-2 3:14

During his mission to her court to organise the Queen of Sheba’s visit to the court of King Solomon in Jerusalem, Assad has fallen in love with a mysterious woman. The day after he arrives home, he is to be married to Sulamith but he no longer wishes to marry her. When the Queen of Sheba arrives at Solomon’s court, Assad finds that she is the mysterious woman whom he loves but she does not acknowledge him. That night, the Queen arranges a tryst in the garden with Assad which climaxes in a passionate embrace. Solomon has advised Assad to go ahead with his marriage so, the next day as the wedding is about to take place, the Queen arrives with a wedding gift and continues to treat Assad as a stranger.

Distressed, Assad commits blasphemy by referring to the Queen as his god. He is led off for punishment, possibly execution. During celebrations in her honour, the Queen pleads for mercy for Assad, as does Sulamith, but Solomon refuses.

Assad is banished to the desert. The Queen seeks him out and, in trying to persuade him to come to her kingdom, she attempts to seduce him. He rejects her. He now desires death so that he might redeem his offence against God. After he is engulfed by a violent sandstorm, Assad is found barely alive by Sulamith and her companions. He begs for forgiveness, which she gives, just as he dies in her arms.

Eurydice is in love with the shepherd, Aristaeus, who is really the god Pluto, and her husband, Orpheus, is in love with Chloë, a shepherdess. Orpheus wants to get rid of his wife but keep it secret fearing Public Opinion. Orpheus and Pluto plot to kill Eurydice so that Pluto may have her. Pluto, as Aristaeus, tricks her into walking into the trap and, as she dies, he changes to his true form. They descend into the Underworld. Public Opinion threatens Orpheus with ruin to his violin teaching career unless he goes to rescue Eurydice. Orpheus reluctantly agrees.

When Orpheus arrives in the Underworld, Jupiter announces that he is going to the Underworld to sort it out and consents to the other gods coming along. In the Underworld, Jupiter finds Eurydice’s prison and slips through the keyhole by turning into a beautiful, golden fly. He reveals himself promising to help her, but he wants her for himself. While the gods are partying, the disguised Eurydice sneaks in. They all dance with abandon to the Galop infernal (or can-can). Ominous violin music heralds the approach of Orpheus and Public Opinion. Orpheus must not look back, or he will lose Eurydice forever. Public Opinion keeps a close eye on him, to keep him from cheating, but Jupiter throws a lightning bolt, making him jump and look back but all ends happily with a reprise of the Galop

The gamekeeper catches the vixen in the wood and takes her home. Rejecting the advances of the family dog, she tries to rouse the hens to revolution, then kills them and escapes. Now notorious, she is spotted by villagers, but evades the gamekeeper’s gun. She meets a fox and has a litter of cubs, before being shot by a poacher. Returning to the clearing where he first caught the vixen, the gamekeeper sees one of her cubs and is reminded of the great cycle of life.

Chandos CHAN 9613(2) 2:22

Falstaff, uninvited to a party, flirts with Mistress Ford and Mistress Slender. Later, he sends identical love letters to the women. Falstaff’s servant, Bardolph, warns the two husbands who become suspicious of their wives’ infidelity. The women compare letters and decide to play jokes on the would-be lover to teach him a lesson. They accomplish this through much raising of suspicions, teasing of the husbands, disguises and faked assignations. During one joke, the women, with maid Betty, pretend Ford is coming and hide Falstaff in a laundry basket which they throw into the Thames. Mistress Ford wants to punish her husband for his jealousy but the women reveal their tricks to their husbands. Invited to an assignation with Mistress Ford in Windsor Forest, Falstaff arrives at midnight disguised, as she has requested, as the mythical Herne the Hunter complete with stag’s horns. Deserted by Mistress Ford, he is tortured by the couples, disguised as spirits, until he renounces his lechery.

DG 415 278-2 2:24

While visiting Nuremberg, a young nobleman, Walther von Stolzing, falls in love with Eva Pogner, but her father has promised her as a prize in a Mastersinger competition. Walther’s song fails when the marker, Beckmesser, says it does not follow mastersong rules. The cobbler poet, Hans Sachs, and his apprentice, David, assist Walther. Beckmesser wants to enter and win Eva, but his attempt at serenading her fails when Sachs noisily sings while mending shoes; a street riot ensues. Acts III and IV will continue next week.

Captain Dick Warrington and his band of woodsmen, farmers and Indians vow to capture the pirate, Bras Piqué, who is actually Étienne Grandet, son of the acting governor of the French colony of Louisiana. Étienne has ambitions to rule Louisiana under a dictatorship and to separate it from both France and the burgeoning United States of America.

Dick meets an Italian girl, known as ‘Naughty Marietta’, singing by the fountain. Marietta tells him that it has been foretold that she will love the man who can complete the melody and she asks him to try to complete it. He refuses, but finds himself whistling it soon afterwards. Governor Grandet announces that a dispatch

has come from the King of France offering 10,000 francs for the return of the Contessa d’Altena who exchanged places with her maid and travelled to the colonies. The Contessa always sings a fragment of a certain tune. Étienne believes that Marietta is the contessa and hopes to marry her. He proposes to Marietta at a ball where he auctions off his slave, Adah. Dick buys Adah and sets her free. Dick now realises that he may be in love with Marietta but Marietta jealously agrees to marry Étienne, announcing that she is the lost Contessa d’Altena.

Adah tells Dick that, if he tears Étienne’s right sleeve, he will reveal Étienne’s real identity as Bras Piqué. Dick tears off Étienne’s sleeve and denounces him as the notorious pirate so Marietta refuses to marry him. The Governor threatens to send her to a convent and locks her in a room. She hears a voice outside completing her song, Ah! Sweet mystery of life. It is Dick, and they embrace through the window. Étienne discovers them, but Captain Dick’s infantry appears to arrest Étienne and the rest of the pirates. Étienne relinquishes his claim on Marietta, and Dick and his men allow the pirates to escape without harm.
