The truly remarkable Fanny Mendelssohn was neither a furious rebel nor a tragic victim, but as an extraordinarily talented composer and musician, she did have the misfortune to have been born at the beginning of the nineteenth century, a time when gender norms relegated women to domestic roles rather than artistic careers. So argues Michael Morton-Evans, in his appraisal of ‘the other Mendelssohn’, whose creative brilliance is on display in three successive Sunday afternoon programs this month, entitled The Piano Sonata.
Denied opportunities to perform publicly and publish her compositions under her own name, her resilience and creativity paved the way for future generations of female musicians, gradually gaining the recognition she deserved posthumously for her remarkable musical legacy.
To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner this month, we will be presenting a series of programs of his music, including all the symphonies and major choral works. Rex Burgess sketches the life of this humble and religious man, explaining that despite his image as the natural symphonic successor to Beethoven, he was a cornerstone for an emerging wave of innovators, such as Mahler and the new generation of composers represented by Schoenberg and the Second Viennese School.
Part of the mission of 2MBS Fine Music has always been a commitment to fostering young emerging talent. One of these fortunate ensembles, the klezmer-fusion music band Chutney, has just released its debut album Ajar, showcasing its work and diverse origins. Merging classical tradition with music from jazz, pop, swing and musical theatre, Chutney’s music has its own character that has led the group to perform, tour, teach and record to an increasingly large audience. Catherine Peake talks with the band’s leader Ben Adler about its influences, work with high-school students, and its plans and projects for the future. david.ogilvie@finemusicsydney.com

God help you if you were brilliant and talented in the 19th century but had the misfortune to be born a woman. Such was the fate of Fanny Cecile Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, elder sister of Felix, and considered by many to be his equal both at the keyboard and at composition, as playing in public and publishing one’s compositions was frowned upon as being wholly unladylike, even sluttish in some quarters. Her father Abraham Mendelssohn made it quite clear to the 15-year-old Fanny in a letter he wrote to her from Paris in 1820: ”Perhaps music will be Felix’s profession, whereas for you it can’t, and must be but an ornament and never the fundamental base-line of your existence and activity.” Well, that was telling her in no uncertain terms that a career in music was out of the question! Happily for us it didn’t stop her dead in her tracks, though it wasn’t to be till just before she died of a stroke at the age of 42 that some of her compositions were finally published. As the music magazine Neue Zeitschrift wrote at the time: “We are surprised that such works could be composed by a woman!”
What do we know about Fanny? What pictures there are of her show her as a rather plain-looking woman, her ripe figure slightly warped by curvature of the spine, although it was said that she had beautiful eyes. She was passionately fond of her younger brother Felix, a love that was fully reciprocated, so much so that it was said that he never loved another woman, even his wife, as much. She grew up in a culturally rich environment, had the best tutors, and, at the age of 11, was baptised into the Lutheran church, her Jewish family having converted to Christianity some time earlier.
At 17 she fell in love with the tone-deaf poet Wilhelm Hensel, the son of a poor Protestant clergyman who was struggling to make a living as a painter. He was not at all what the Mendelssohn family had in mind for their eldest daughter, and it was decreed that he should go and live in Rome for five years. The couple were not allowed to write to each other, though her mother would write to him regularly with the family news. After the five years were up, the couple were still adamant, and so their engagement was announced. However, it had to be kept secret from an aunt who was an ultra-orthodox Jew and would have disapproved strongly. But then the aunt died, and Fanny and Wilhelm were married. In 1831 their only child, a son Sebastian, was born. As a christening present, Fanny
presented the boy with a full-length cantata for SATB, full choir, organ and orchestra, the words based on the Old Testament’s Book of Job
The couple lived in Rome for a year, where Fanny was said to have exerted special musical influence on the young Charles Gounod, but soon afterwards she began to be troubled by recurring nosebleeds. One day in 1847, while playing the piano for one of her brother’s cantatas, she felt her hands go numb, and a few minutes later was felled by a massive stroke from which she died the following day. Brother Felix was to follow her six months later from the same cause, a condition which had previously killed both their parents and their grandfather.
It was only a relatively short time before her death that any of Fanny’s works were openly published, though some of her songs (she wrote 250 of them) had been published under Felix’s name. Her more ambitious pieces had to wait until after her death to see the light of day, and for the next century and a half she was just known as the other Mendelssohn, Felix’s sister.
In short, Fanny was remarkable for her time. She was one of the first pianists to perform from memory, and she wrote large works like piano trios and sonatas that many people in her day thought were beyond the skills of a female composer. In her time she pushed the limits of what women were believed to be capable of doing.

Catherine Peake discusses the music of the band Chutney with its leader Ben Adler
This recently formed band is one of the groups of emerging artists supported by 2MBS Fine Music Sydney. Chutney has just released its debut album Ajar, showcasing its work and diverse origins. Merging classical tradition with music from jazz, pop, swing and musical theatre, Chutney’s music has its own character that has led the group to perform, tour, teach and record to an increasingly large audience.
Chutney has been described as a klezmer-fusion music band. What have been the group’s main influences and what are the challenges in creating and performing your music?
Chutney was born as a result of pianist Paul Khodor pestering me for years with the repeated suggestion that ‘we should start a klezmer band’. Klezmer is the folk music of Jewish Eastern Europe, which also migrated to the USA and Israel, among other places, in the twentieth century. Paul and I are both classically trained, so our music holds a deep deference to the classical tradition and its harmonic language. Jazz, funk, Latin and gypsy flavours also feature strongly. However, we are Chutney – a rich composite of disparate ingredients – so you may also detect notes of disco, reggae, swing, Dixieland, pop, musical theatre, circus, and film genres!
Our music has been a joy to create and perform, and audiences universally find it engaging, uplifting, and energising, regardless of whether they are Jewish, classically educated, have a background in world/folk music, or are totally uninitiated. Our only challenge lies in convincing people to listen. Our genre-blurring approach to music making can confuse institutions, as it defies easy categorisation. Additionally, the absence of a permanent lead singer can cause audiences raised on pop music to falter.
You have said that music builds bridges and fosters connection like nothing else. Why do you think this is so, and can you tell us how your music is part of this connection?
I have long argued that music at its best is the communication of emotion through sound. Consequently,
it expresses what words cannot – the ‘universal language’. As I wrote with friend and festival director Nawfel Alfaris in opposition to the Sydney Festival boycott two years ago, “how can art not challenge and dismantle the preconceptions of our minds when it speaks the language of our hearts? When everyone in a room feels the rhythm as one, it’s hard to find room for hate.”
Chutney is a Jewish band. We love playing for our own community, but we find special value in playing for other communities. We have performed for a mostly Arab audience at the Sound of Terra Festival in Casula/Liverpool for three consecutive years, and have taught audiences how to dance the hora (traditional circle dance) in towns like Winmalee, Wodonga and South West Rocks. We are proud to provide many of these audience members’ first experience of Jewish culture and people.
Part of your work has been introducing your music to high school students. What does this involve and how do students engage with the music?
We are consistently inspired by students’ energy and openmindedness. I have arranged some of our music for both string orchestra and wind band, so we send the relevant parts to schools a few weeks in advance. When we arrive, they are already sufficiently familiar with the notes that we can delve deeply into stylistic, performative, and cultural/ historical content. We also provide a safe and encouraging environment for every student to improvise a solo on their instrument, many for the first time!
After a couple of hours and a dinner break, we put on a Chutney show for the local community, including the students’ families and friends, and perform the songs we have workshopped side-by-side with the students. Sharing the stage with professional musicians gives students a huge buzz and they invariably leave highly enthused.
Chutney has recently released its first album – can you tell us what to expect?
Ajar is a potpourri of our best 13 tracks, honed across 100 plus shows over the past four years. It is a spicy mix of instrumental and vocal, old and new, fresh arrangements and original compositions. We take you on a whirlwind tour through Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Italy, Austria, Germany, Israel, Egypt, Latin America, and the USA – all refracted through the dual lenses of our cultural identity: contemporary Australia and timeless Jewishness.
The voices of APRA award-winning singer songwriter Ilan Kidron, musical theatre star Doron Chester and soul diva Sarit Michael surmount the unbridled virtuosity of the band, whose members have played with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Monsieur Camembert, Human Nature and Marcia Hines. From traditional klezmer dance tunes to samba, from the jazz lounge to the concert hall, from Beethoven to Britney Spears (this particular track was recently named by Rolling Stone a Song You Need to Know!), Rimsky-Korsakov to The Godfather, Mozart to Fiddler on the Roof – we’ve left the door ajar for everyone’s tastes!
What are Chutney’s plans and projects for the future?
Having successfully toured our album down to Victoria via Canberra and the Albury-Wodonga region in April, we are looking forward to hitting the road again later this month as support for Melbourne Ska Orchestra in New South Wales and south Queensland. We are planning even bigger shows in Sydney as our audience continues to grow, and look forward to touring internationally in the years to come.

By Rex Burgess
Bruno Walter once said that Anton Bruckner had the good fortune to begin by finding God. Sometimes referred to as ‘God’s musician’, Tonerl, as his family called him, was born in Upper Austria near Linz, on September 4, 1824. He grew up a short, nervous man with country ways, was unsuccessful with women and sometimes irritated other people. Inhibited by a natural hesitancy and anxiety, he applied his creative energies to music, countering his sense of inadequacy by endless studying, in order to arm himself with as many qualifications as possible.
He had a fine soprano voice, and on his father’s death he became a choirboy at the nearby St Florian monastery. This then became both his spiritual and physical home, living there initially from 1837 to 1840, later holidaying or retreating there, according to his biographer, Hans-Hubert Schöenzeler: “when the burden which fate had placed upon his shoulders seemed too heavy to bear.”
After completing his schooling, and a further year’s study in Linz, from mid-1841 he spent two unhappy years as assistant teacher at Windhaag, a small village near the Bohemian border. Constantly exploited, as at other times in his life he found solace in music, culminating in him writing the first of his seven Masses. Then in 1845 he was able to return to St Florian as organist, staying until 1855 and progressively honing his composing skills.
It was not until 1864, though, when he was already forty, and only after considerable encouragement from his friends, that he ventured to reveal his true musical capabilities by conducting his D minor Mass in Linz cathedral, where he had been organist for the past nine years. It was well received, prompting a critic to ask why it had taken him so long to achieve such a bold personal style? He replied: “I didn’t dare before.” Seemingly it was his recent introduction to Wagner’s music which finally led to him unveiling his own individuality. As one writer observed:
“Probably no great master ever set out on his path more doubtingly or more timidly than did Bruckner.”
He continued at Linz until 1868, before eventually accepting a professorship in Vienna, where he spent the rest of his life teaching and composing, before dying there in 1896.
The Bruckner oeuvre includes around fifty sacred vocal works, the main ones written mostly by 1868, when seemingly he decided his future was as a symphonist. The exception is his Te Deum, completed in 1884, about which he once remarked: “When God finally calls me and asks, ‘What have you done with the talent I gave you, my lad?’ I will present to him the score of my Te Deum, and I hope He will judge me mercifully.” His own high regard for this work was shared by his devoted pupil, Mahler, who suggested the citation ‘for soprano, alto, tenor, bass, choir and orchestra’ instead should read ‘for angelic voices, for God-seekers, for tormented hearts, and for souls purified in flames.’
Occasionally described as ‘armchair’ works, Bruckner wrote eleven symphonies in all, some having several versions, and each laid out on a large scale, described by one writer as ‘grand designs from archetypal motives.’ With an intended dedication ‘To the dear Lord,’ he started on his final symphony late in 1887, although he made little headway until early in 1891. Even then, progress was painfully slow, with the third movement completed only in October 1894. At this point he reportedly said to a caller: “I have done my duty on earth. I have accomplished what I could, and my only wish is to be allowed to complete my Ninth Symphony … I trust Death will not deprive me of my pen.” Although he lived for a further two years, his deteriorating health made it impossible to flesh out his sketches for the finale, with Death, in the words of Lawrence Gilman, ‘“proving indifferent to his hopes.’”
It has been said that Brahms was the natural symphonic successor to Beethoven. Brucknerites have made the same claim, since he had already written four and was well advanced with his fifth by the time Brahms completed his first symphony, in 1876. That debate now seems academic. What is beyond dispute, though, is that Bruckner’s outlook was far more future oriented. For while Brahms stands
right at the end of the classical tradition, Bruckner was a cornerstone for an emerging wave of innovators, his ideas passing through Mahler to the new generation of composers represented by Schoenberg and the Second Viennese School.
To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Bruckner’s birth, from 1 August to 10 October we will be presenting a series of programs of his music, including all the symphonies and major choral works.

Saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Matthew Ottignon hails from New Zealand but is now firmly entrenched in Sydney’s vibrant music scene. His schedule brims with tours, soloist work, composing, and educational pursuits, consolidating his status as one of Australia’s most sought-after musicians. He embodies mastery across all musical realms, boasting an undeniable musical lineage. Barry O’Sullivan poses five questions to Matthew about his musical career. When did playing jazz music first enter your life, and who were some of the artists that influenced your style?
I was lucky enough to be born into a very musical family. My dad is a big jazz fan, and I often got into trouble for playing his John Coltrane and Miles Davis records without asking. I was too young to understand how delicate the needle on a stylus is. One of the first records I fell in love with as a kid was Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz to Come, which I still consider a defining album for me. I also learnt how to play transcribed solos for my high school concerts. One that had a huge impact on me was Cannonball Adderley’s solo on Work Song.
What are your current musical projects?
My current projects are my new quartet with Lauren Tsamouras, Hannah James, and Holly Connor, and my more established sextet, Mister Ott. The quartet has just released our debut album Volant. It has been the fulfilment of a long-standing dream of mine to release a jazz quartet album of my originals. Sextet Mister Ott continues to perform regularly in Sydney and has more of an afrobeat and Ethiojazz sound to it and can bridge the two worlds of serious jazz and dance party bands.
Life as a musician is full of challenges. Name some of the challenges that may have confronted you so far, and how have you overcome them?
Life as a musician is not for the faint-hearted. It is a very physically and emotionally demanding career, and staying on top of my fitness and mental health is the key. Keeping my body fit and healthy is just as important as keeping my musical instruments in good working order. Managing the
working calendar with care is also important because if you say yes too much, you run the risk of burning out. It’s easy to get excited about gigs when they come in, and before you know it, you forget to leave time to take a muchneeded breath before you jet off to the next one.
What are some of your other interests outside of your musical career?
I love exploring this huge country of ours and try to go camping or bushwalking as much as I can, and when possible, I try to find out about the indigenous culture of the area I’m visiting. Learning about Indigenous Australian culture is a constant source of inspiration to me. I also have a weekly community radio show in Sydney that is a way to share some of the music that I listen to. I have a ravenous musical appetite.
You have performed in trios, quartets, and large jazz ensembles. How does each experience differ for you?
This is one of the aspects of being a musician that I love. I play in such a large variety of ensembles that it would be impossible to list, but it means that I am constantly learning new music, being exposed to new genres, and developing new skills on my instrument, whether it be the saxophone, flute or clarinet. The real difference is whether I am performing a lead role or a supporting role in the ensemble. I take equal enjoyment from blending in with a large horn section as I do from blowing a screaming solo out the front of the band. Performing music is a very rewarding experience on so many levels.

Ken’s previous article in this series focussed on the importance of pianist and band leader, Stan Kenton, and touched on the issue of racism among white band leaders even as they embraced Afro-American music. In this article, Ken focusses on the role of saxophonist, Gerry Mulligan.
Gerry Mulligan was another of the Claude Thornhill alumni, epitomising the modern jazz all-rounder. A brilliant baritone saxophonist, he also played piano. He was a renowned arranger, and a prolific composer. He ‘invented’ the piano-less quartet with Chet Baker and was a major influence upon Miles Davis’s playing and arranging on the Birth of the Cool and all the live performances of the Davis nonet. He later recreated those moments in The Rebirth of the Cool in 1992. He moved to Los Angeles in 1952 and began arranging for Stan Kenton. The quartet structure remained the core of his groups throughout the 1950s.
In 1960 he formed his first Concert Jazz Band. This group consisted of six brass, five reeds and a piano-less two-piece rhythm section together with bass and drums. The band toured and made five albums for Verve through to the end of 1964. The Concert Jazz Band’s arrangements were known for their intricate harmonies and inventive compositions. In the album Symphonic Dreams (1987), the band teams with the Houston Symphony Orchestra, showing Mulligan’s enthusiasm for expanding the breadth of a jazz ensemble. The Orchestra, under the direction of Erich Kunzel, performs the seven sections of The Sax Chronicles (compositions of Harry Freedman based on Mulligan themes written in the style of a variety of classical composers), two shorter pieces by the classic jazzman (Song for Strayhorn and K-4 Pacific), and a classical work written by Jeru: Entente for Baritone Sax and Orchestra. The music fits the category of third stream and could be called jazzy classical music.
In 1971 he recorded The Age of Steam. The title track is a sprawling work that captures the energy and excitement of the steam locomotive era. It features dynamic shifts in mood and tempo, with driving rhythms and intricate ensemble playing. Mulligan’s baritone sax takes centre stage with expressive solos, while the band demonstrates its versatility and cohesion. Other tracks on the album include Blueport Revisited, after his earlier composition Blueport, and Song for Johnny Hodges, which was a tribute to the legendry alto saxophonist with whom Mulligan had made a seminal album in his Meets series for the quartet. Barbara Graham, who was executed for murder in March 1953, was a devoted fan.
Mulligan appears in the film about Graham I want to live, starring Susan Hayward, which featured music by a jazz orchestra written and led by Johnny Mandel.
Woody Herman had disbanded the Second Herd in 1949, and while Stan Kenton and Duke Ellington managed to keep big bands on the road through the 1950s, Count Basie disbanded his band at the start of the decade, although he did assemble a new one a few years later.
Generally, this was a tough period for large ensembles, although it didn’t dampen the urge for musicians and composers to hear music in large forms and find ways to make it real.
The Marais Project and Sweden’s Duo Langborn/Wendel

Volant
Volant
Earshift Music
Recorded in Stockholm, this latest offering from Jenny Eriksson’s The Marais Project takes us on a journey from the baroque era of Marin Marais to two of Sweden’s most famous folk songs, one of which was taken up as the tune of the Swedish National Anthem. Jenny, together with Tommie Andersson and Susie Bishop, join forces with Sweden’s Catalina Longborn and Olof Wendel for this fascinating collaboration of violin, viola da gamba, guitar, theorbo and cimbalom, to produce a range of tonal colours which must surely be unique.
No CD from the Marais Project would be complete without a work from Marais himself; in this case, it’s the instrumental music from Marais’ 1706 opera, Alcione. It sits perfectly
Switching between reeds, the everadventurous musician/composer Matthew Ottignon delivers a great set on his latest outing, enlightened by some audacious compositional ideas aided by his extraordinary improvisational acumen. The leader comes with a new self-titled, all-female ensemble, Volant, creating music that is tight, sometimes ethereal and always inspirationally spontaneous. With bassist Hannah James, percussionist Holly Conner, and pianist Lauren Tsamouros, Ottignon effortlessly juggles timbres on each track as he evokes his vision of harmonic textures. My favourite tracks are the lead-off Moon Rock, channelling the spiritual music coming out of the West Coast
with a short song from Marc-Antoine Charpentier, beautifully sung by the talented Susie Bishop, and Erkisson’s own composition, Anna, written at a time when Jenny feared for a friend’s life. The Father of Swedish Music, Johan Helmich Roman, appears with his Sonata in G minor for violin and continuo. On this track the continuo is provided by Tommie Andersson with that most bizarre looking of instruments, the theorbo, a sort of bass lute. Each of the 15 tracks on the disc has its own distinct flavour, although best listened to a few tracks at a time. Listening to all in one sitting is akin to eating an entire feast on one’s own. Best shared a course at a time with others.

of the USA, Bilpin, which dazzles under the inspirational soulfulness of the baritone sax of the leader with ominous undertones mirroring the resilience of the land in regrowth after the bushfires of 2019, and Murmuring, equally enticing as a result of progressive creativity, changing shape with tensile unpredictability, adorned with exciting saxophone solo moments. Throughout the album, Ottignon enlists the assistance of his very able quartet mates to deliver impressive material that is quirky, uplifting and hopeful, blending traditional jazz elements with his modern flights of fancy.

Laurie Smith talks to Sue McCreadie, a presenter of the Classical Guitar Society program on 2MBS Sydney since its inception in 1998.
What got you involved with 2MBS Fine Music Sydney?
The Classical Guitar Society was offered a regular program slot back in 1998 and two society members, Jan Brown and myself, were nominated for training. It seemed like an interesting challenge and a great opportunity for the Society. Other members (Darryl Rule, Dan Sharkey and Jim Mitchell) have shared presenting duties over the years.
Does the Guitar Society get feedback on the exposure it gains on 2MBS Fine Music?
Members value the partnership with the station and the exposure it gives, not just to the Society’s activities but to the many great guitarists in Australia and new works being written here. It’s wonderful to be able to share this music, which might not get airplay elsewhere.
Where does your love of music come from?
Initially from my mother. She loved Debussy and Ravel and had jazz playing constantly on the radio. I bought a guitar when I was 19. I wanted to learn to play popular music, but the teacher said I should learn classical because then I could play anything. That wasn’t quite true, but I soon became captivated by the classical guitar and its Spanish and Latin repertoire. I went to London in my twenties and spent a formative decade there, discovering early music and the twentieth century repertoire.
I play with the Guitar Society’s orchestra which has been going since 1994. The guitar can be a solitary instrument so it’s a wonderful feeling to rehearse and perform with a large ensemble. We are fortunate to have a constant stream of new works and arrangements from Richard Charlton and Janet Agostino.
What do you enjoy most about your involvement with the station?
Curating programs is great fun. Doing a deep dive into a composer or a player and sharing music with an audience that they may not have heard before. And, of course, meeting other volunteers with different specialities and passions.
Musical favourites?
I never tire of Bach. I love Sylvius Leopold Weiss, a German lutenist who was a direct contemporary of Bach. My go- to guitarist for both is Goran Sollscher. From the twentieth century Toru Takemitsu is a favourite. I wrote a thesis on his guitar music and I definitely share his enthusiasm for Messiaen and jazz. The contribution of Cuba’s Leo Brouwer to the guitar repertoire is immense and his music is rewarding to play because it’s so idiomatic. The same can be said of Australian composers Richard Charlton and the late Phillip Houghton.
Do you feel a synergy between your career and your musical interests?
Early in my career I worked for Guitar Magazine in London, at which time career and musical interests merged. In recent decades I’ve worked in film and arts policy for government or guilds, advocating on issues like Australian content or managing funding programs. So, yes, there is a synergy of sorts.
Would you like to share a particularly magic musical memory?
I still remember the first time I heard a guitarist play Bach’s Chaconne. It was in London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and it was the Venezuelan virtuoso Alirio Diaz. It might not have been ‘historically informed’, but it had a breathtaking momentum. The euphoria it induced was truly memorable.

During his expedition against Troy, King Agamemnon has killed a deer in a wood sacred to Diana; the goddess punishes this act by sending a storm and forcing the Greek fleet to drop anchor in the port of Aulis. With his ships becalmed, Agamemnon is powerless and consults the soothsayer, Chalcas. He receives the reply that, in order to be triumphant against Troy, Diana demands that he must sacrifice a maiden of royal lineage: Iphigenia, his daughter.
Agamemnon, sends a messenger to Argos to bring his daughter Iphigenia to Aulis on the pretext of approving the marriage to her beloved. Achilles. He orders his wife, Clytemnestra, to remain in Argos to administer his affairs. The queen disobeys him and accompanies her daughter to Aulis, but she has scarcely arrived when Agamemnon forces her to return to Mycenae. When Iphigenia learns the real reason for the summons, she decides of her own free will to sacrifice herself for the good of the Greek people, asking Achilles not to interfere with her destiny. Just as the king is about to sacrifice Iphigenia, the goddess, Diana, takes pity on the girl and envelopes her in a cloud, leaving a doe in her place on the sacrificial altar. The wind begins to blow once more.

At Les Halles, the marketplace in Paris, the courtesan, Zénobie, is flirting with a handsome hussar, Captain Roger. Her protector, the wealthy Antonin, finds out and leaves her. He goes off with the elderly Duparquet, the manager of the markets, to drown his sorrows in champagne and, back at the markets, falls asleep in a barrow. Ciboulette, a market gardener, has been told by a fortune teller that she will find love under a cabbage, after a woman’s hair turns white, and after a message about death has been delivered in a tambourine.
Duparquet has accompanied Ciboulette back to the farm. Ciboulette’s aunt tells her that she has lined up eight suitors in the church square and demands that Ciboulette choose one as her husband. Ciboulette tells Duparquet that she doesn’t love any of them and he decides to become a matchmaker. He devises a scheme to get rid get of the suitors. When Ciboulette discovers Antonin under the unsold cabbages in her barrow, they are immediately attracted to each other. Then Zénobie arrives with Captain Roger. Zénobie insults Ciboulette and the furious Ciboulette empties a sack of flour over Zénobie’s head, turning her hair white. Antonin and Zénobie reconcile, leaving Ciboulette broken-hearted.
A few weeks later, Duparquet hatches a plan to get Ciboulette and Antonin together. Ciboulette, masked and in Spanish costume, is to appear at a gathering of the nobility as the sensational Conchita Ciboulero. Antonin has now overcome his infatuation for Zénobie and realises that he loves Ciboulette. In despair, he writes a suicide note which Duparquet arranges to have delivered to Ciboulette in a
tambourine. Duparquet persuades Antonin to attend the soirée. When Ciboulette finds the note, she reveals her identity to Antonin and they fall into each other’s arms.

So that he might have favourable winds to drive his ships from Aulis to Troy, King Agamemnon must sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, to the goddess Diana, but implores the goddess to choose another victim. Iphigenia is to marry Achilles but Queen Clytemnestra says that he is unworthy of her
daughter because of his infidelities. Achilles swears that he will take her place for the sacrifice but Agamemnon pleads with Diana to take his life instead. The angry Greeks demand that the sacrifice take place so that the goddess may be appeased and the ships sail. Iphigenia is resolved to die but Clytemnestra appeals to Jupiter to intervene. Achilles arrives with a group of Thessalonians to rescue Iphigenia just as the High Priest, Calchas, raises the knife. Diana descends from Olympus and waives the sacrifice because of the piety of the daughter and the tears of the mother. The wedding is celebrated and the Greeks prepare for war.

In the 6th century BC, the poet, Sapho, loves Phaon who cannot decide whether he loves
Sapho or the courtesan, Glycère. Pythéas teases him for his indecision. At the Olympic Games, Sapho wins the poetry prize, causing Phaon to declare his love to Sapho. In order to win Glycère’s favours, Pythéas gives her details of Phaeon’s involvement in a revolutionary plot to establish freedom and justice on Lesbos. Glycère tells Phaon that she will keep it secret if Phaeon leaves Lesbos without Sapho but she breaks her word and informs the authorities. Sapho does not wish to leave with Phaon who then turns his attentions to Glycère.
As Phaon, Glycère and the conspirators are about to embark on a ship to take them away from Lesbos, Sapho comes to farewell them but Phaon curses her. She forgives and blesses Phaon before leaping into the ocean to end her life.

EDWIN: Barry Banks, ten COUNSEL FOR THE PLAINTIFF: Peter Savidge, bar
Welsh National Opera Ch & O/Charles Mackerras.
Telarc 2CD-80404 32
The jury is assembled to hear a case of breach of promise. The defendant, Edwin, tells the jury he became bored with the plaintiff, Angelina, and left her for another woman. The Judge admits to having himself done the same thing but the jury and the public can see no wrong in him. Angelina arrives in her wedding dress instantly capturing the hearts of the Judge and jury. She feigns distress as her Counsel outlines Edwin’s betrayal. Edwin offers to marry both Angelina and his new love. At first the Judge finds this reasonable but then rules that it is would be ‘burglary’ (meaning to say ‘bigamy’). Angelina embraces Edwin to demonstrate her love (but thinking of the huge amount of damages Edwin would have to pay). Edwin counters by proclaiming that he is a smoker, a drunkard, and a bully
when tipsy and the plaintiff would not be able to live with him (thinking of the lesser damages he would pay). The Judge resolves the case by offering to marry Angelina himself, a successful outcome for all concerned.

Princess Ida has founded a women’s university and teaches that women are superior to men and should rule in their stead. Prince Hilarion had been betrothed to Princess Ida in infancy and his father, King Hildebrand, has stated that he will go to war against King Gama if his daughter, Ida, doesn’t appear when they visit the court. Hilarion sneaks into the university with two friends, Cyril and Florian, aiming to collect his bride. They disguise themselves as women students, but are soon discovered. When Ida falls into a stream, she is rescued by Hilarion but she condemns him and his friends to death for breaching the sanctity of the university. King Hildebrand arrives with Ida’s brothers in chains. He tells Ida that if she doesn’t become Hilarion’s wife, he will execute her brothers. Ida mobilises her students to go to war but they are too afraid. Her father, King Gama, says that he has been treated with great luxury by King Hildebrand and suggests that Hilarion and his friends should fight it out with Ida’s three brothers for his right to marry her. Ida is insulted but agrees. Hilarion and his friends are the victors and finally Ida admits that she is wrong, that she loves Hilarion and will marry him.

The sorceress, Armida, has bewitched the crusader knight, Rinaldo. The knights, Tancredi and Rambaldo, enter Armida’s dominion to rescue Rinaldo but are bewitched by one of her creatures. Tancredi is imprisoned. A friendly sorcerer gives the knights, Dano and Ubaldo, a magic bough to protect them from enchantment as they try to rescue the other knights. Armida offers pleasure to Tancredi if he will abandon his sacred vows. His violent rejection sends Armida into a fury. She conjures up monsters who attack Tancredi but he is saved by Dano and Ubaldo wielding the magic bough. Tancredi awakens a sense of honour in Rinaldo but Armida overcomes this with her wiles. When Ubaldo and Dano try to persuade Rinaldo to leave Armida, Rinaldo sees his reflection in Dano’s shield, comes to his senses and renounces Armida again. Ubaldo finds the imprisoned Tancredi and frees him from his chains. As the knights are about to embark on a boat to take them across the lake and out of Armida’s dominion, Armida begs Rinaldo to stay but the knights escape on the boat. Armida rages, destroying her palace and summoning the furies to bring her chariot. She swears vengeance upon Rinaldo as winged dragons carry her skyward.
The knights are met on the far shore by warriors bearing a letter from Duke Goffredo. It tells him that, if Rinaldo can lift the spell on the forest, he will be welcomed back. The crusaders need wood to build seige engines to capture Jerusalem. Rinaldo enters the forest and successfully breaks the spell. He prays for forgiveness and is welcomed back to the crusaders’ camp.
