RAY CHEN’S DAZZLING VIRTUOSITY NICKY GLUCH DISCOVERS HIS IMPACT ON AUDIENCES

Ray Chen

Photo: Keith Saunders

What is it that makes a young person turn on the radio, flick past the ‘pop’ and rock channels and settle on classical music?

it: at the movies. As classical music lovers, we can only hope that they’ve been hooked!

It’s a question we often ask ourselves here at Fine Music. Working with the UNSW Medical Orchestra last year, the students hinted at a possible answer: movies. Sure, soundtracks have an allure and orchestras and radio stations have had to adapt to that demand. In this case, that wasn’t what they meant. They were talking about symphonic movements, dances or songs which to them are inextricably linked with a certain scene in a film: the tango in Scent of a Woman or perhaps Bach’s Passacaglia in The Godfather.

Welcome to the 21st century, an age where the visual and sonic have become so incredibly entwined. We add music to still images, slideshows to symphonic works. Facebook allows us to livestream performances, our recitals reaching family across the globe, and YouTube (and its offshoots) have made videos a currency. For many musicians, this new reality has precipitated changes in how they reach their audience and broadened the definition of who this audience might be. Few, however, have succeeded as well in this domain as Ray Chen.

Ironically, to a classically informed audience, these pieces may have less impact. Our brains register them as works by a known composer, background music in the film to the ensuing action, but it is not the same for those for whom this is a first encounter. They’ll want to hear the piece again because of where they heard

When Chen plays, he dazzles. He has a virtuosic technique, a rich and inviting sound and an assuredness which gives him a true stage ‘presence’. All this is the result of years of hard work and training. From his home in Brisbane, Chen headed to the USA at 15 to study at the Curtis Institute of Music. He

July 2018

came to prominence after winning the Yehudi Menuhin Competition in 2008 and then the Queen Elizabeth Competition the following year. It’s what Chen has done with this success, however, which makes him unique. It may help that he looks like a movie star, but Chen has, to quote his own biography, redefined ‘what it means to be a classical musician’. Chen is an icon, a celebrity in the true sense of the word. At concerts, he interacts with audiences through social media. His online following reaches millions; he has appeared in the TV series Mozart in the Jungle; has a partnership with Giorgio Armani; and is currently releasing his own design of a violin case because, why not!? Throughout all this, Chen maintains an impressive touring schedule. He has played with many of the world’s best orchestras, is featured at gala events and, in August, will return to Australia to tour for Musica Viva. The concerts are for violin and piano and Chen

will tour with his long-standing accompanist, Julien Quentin. The French pianist is renowned for his musicality, playing with a sensitivity which commends him as a chamber musician. It is his poise which suits him as a collaborator with Chen, Quentin providing the foundation for Chen’s expressivity. Although the Australian tour may be somewhat more intimate than concerts performed abroad, Chen’s philosophy is sure to stay the same. With his goal of reaching younger audiences and a commitment to music education, Musica Viva is Chen’s perfect touring partner. As Mary Jo Capps, Musica Viva’s CEO, and Carl Vine, the organisation’s Artistic Director, are both stepping down this year, it is fitting to pay tribute to their contributions to this vital organisation. Musica Viva is not only the largest presenter of chamber music in the world, but also, perhaps, the largest disseminator of music across some of the largest distances in the world. Through their state offices, Musica Viva reaches Ray Chen primary schools across Photo: Keith Saunders the country, educating and enthusing youth about classical music. The organisation has its roots in immigrants who fled Europe in 1938-39, known as ‘38ers’. (You can read about another ’38er’ who had a special impact on Fine Music in next month’s magazine.) These immigrants brought an understanding of European music culture, an essential thread of the organisation to this day, but to this Capps and Vine have paired a uniquely Australian identity. Thus, visiting ensembles find themselves playing premieres by Australian composers. For Chen’s tour, the commission went to Matthew Hindson, who was free, as Musica Viva writes, ‘to create a work with no technical limitations’. It is the common piece in Chen’s two programs, testament to the importance of a commissioning organisation, as much in our time as in that of Beethoven. New commissions aside, part of Chen’s allure is that he excels at staying within safe boundaries. There is a thought that young audiences may connect with more contemporary classical music, an idea which should be progressed with caution. Musically literate youth, especially those

who are engaged in contemporary music making, may indeed lean towards a newer sound world. The uninitiated, however, seem to prefer ‘old’ favourites. It comes back to this idea of where they might have heard the music. Movies make use of Classical repertoire but usually Romantic pieces, intended as they were to ignite the passions. They complement the visual as if by design.

For the second program, Chen and Quentin open with a Chaconne allegedly by Tomaso Vitali. The question of authenticity arises as a piece of supposedly Baroque origins has attributes which make it quasi-Romantic. No matter its origins, it has always been loved by performers, Jascha Heifetz even choosing to perform an arrangement to open his New York debut in Queens Hall.

The Romantic era has another feature which endears it to youth: it was the age of virtuosity. Instrument design was being refined, technical ability was being pushed and people considered a life without limitations. Its echoes reverberate in our world today. The Australian Music Examination Board trains young musicians to be recitalists. The pieces Chen will play are also the aspirations of many young violinists. This is not to say that it’s the limit of their music connection. In an age when classical music has to fight for an audience, it is a very useful entrée.

The next two pieces make a happy pair, for César Franck’s Violin sonata in A (featured in the film Rosenstrasse) was written for the wedding of Eugène Ysaÿe, the third composer on the program. Not only did Ysaÿe perform the Franck sonata for his wedding guests but he and his wife’s sister-in-law also gave the public premiere. The four movements alternate between slow and fast and it is perhaps the last which best fits the wedding theme. With the piano and violin playing in canonic imitation, building towards a triumphant conclusion, it suggests two voices (or people) becoming one.

What then will dazzle the audiences? In the first program, Chen and Quentin open with Beethoven’s Violin sonata, op 12 no 1. In its day it was considered a daring work with Beethoven pushing the limits of key convention. It has now become one of the cornerstones of the violin-piano repertory. The next piece is by Grieg, his Second Violin Sonata written at a time when he’d become more confident about embracing Norwegian music. It begins sombrely but becomes cheerful, the second movement seeing the piano imitate a strummed guitar and the third movement evoking a peasant dance. After the Hindson comes the beloved arrangement of Manuel de Falla’s Suite populaire espagnole. Violinist Paul Kochanski arranged this suite from six of Falla’s vocal songs. A folk-dance sits between a lullaby and a lament as audiences tour Spain and its emotions. The final work is a Hungarian dance, Csárdás, by the Italian composer Vittorio Monti. Its seven sections shift in tempo and key and this, combined with extreme dynamics, makes it a wonderful showpiece (put to great use in the 1984 film Unfaithfully Yours).

Ysaÿe’s work is for solo violin, reminiscent of the playing style of his friend George Enescu. The gypsy-like qualities in this work are then recalled in the last work on the program, Tzigane by Maurice Ravel (you can find it in the film Alongside Night). Although perhaps not authentically Romany, Ravel’s piece has the quality of exoticism so popular in his day. It was commissioned by Jelly d’Arányi, the great-niece of the famed 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim, and fittingly, Chen will perform it on the violin once owned by Joachim. This is all part of Ray Chen’s sparkle and charm. A talented musician combined with a brilliant instrument and unique media acumen: it’s picture matched with sound. Chen can be an inspiration for our youth, proof that classical music can be as ‘cool’ as it is classy. He can remind us that music is there to move and entertain. Hopefully he can make people turn on the radio, flick past the ‘pop’ and rock and tune into classical. It’s Musica Viva’s mission, it’s Chen’s and it’s ours at Fine Music.

PROGRAMMING CHANGES FROM JULY From July there are some new domains on Fine Music 102.5. The greatest changes are on Thursday and Saturday nights but there are also some new themes for Diversions in Fine Music at 9am on weekdays. On Tuesday mornings from July, a new program, Colours of the Keyboard, will be joining the 9am Diversions in Fine Music schedule. This program is devoted to keyboard music: solo, duo and chamber works for piano, harpsichord, organ and more. The development of these instruments over the history of Western music has been so important in facilitating new musical directions. From Bach to Thomas Adès, the keyboard has been the instrument of choice for so many wonderful composers and this program will give you the opportunity to enjoy the full spectrum of beautiful keyboard music. Also joining the Diversions in Fine Music schedule is The Music Salon on Thursday mornings. From the days of courtly music, through to the Victorian music salon and

Piano quartet

even to the music clubs of the 20th century, music has been written for small groups of connoisseurs, and for amateur and family performance within the home or small chamber. A wealth of song, chamber and keyboard music was composed with the express purpose of sharing among kin and social groups. The Music Salon will give listeners a chance to feel at home and enjoy this music designed for private enjoyment. The other new domain to join the Fine Music schedule in July is called The Word Transformed on Saturday nights at 8pm. This program is dedicated to works which

bring the written word to life in music. As well as being a program for song cycles, it’s also for music based upon a single word, a poem, a book or a novella. Berlioz’ Harold in Italy, Liszt’s Faust Symphony and Reinecke’s Undine Sonata, are all examples of the ways in which the written word has inspired beautiful works of musical imagination. Thursday night has the greatest change in programming with Musical Portraits moving to 8pm and Showcasing Australian Artists following at 10pm. Showcasing Australian Artists will now be a focused two-hour program in which to enjoy the greatest musical personalities of Australia’s Classical Music world. Recordings of live concerts previously found in this domain will now be scattered throughout the broadcast schedule. Please join us in July to enjoy these fresh programs on Fine Music 102.5.

CHARLES KOECHLIN REVISITED REX BURGESS EXPLORES HIS VISION AND CREATIVITY The 150th anniversary of the birth of one of France’s most interesting, versatile and rather unjustly neglected composers was marked on 27 November 2017. CharlesLouis-Eugène Koechlin (1867-1950), whose students included Milhaud and Poulenc, was a forward-looking but by no means extreme teacher. A devotee of Bach, Koechlin was also a scholarly theorist, trusted orchestrator of works by Fauré, Debussy and others, and a most prolific composer. His output was both large and diverse, his corpus of over 220 opus numbers covering almost every major genre, with opera the only significant exception. This article focuses on the origins of his creative approach, sources which were further extended and enriched as he progressed, but still remained fundamentally unaltered throughout his long composing career. Here is Koechlin, writing about himself: “The tree grows from the seed, and the child is father of the man”. Childhood visions, when a succession of chords evoked silvery moonlit nights, imaginary characters like the Little Mermaid, his conception of Mowgli and his world, always within the context of landscapes and the contemplation of nature: these were his stimuli, keenly felt, expressed and observed throughout. “His dream remained constant, always with the 4

sense of distant imaginary horizons — of the infinite of the mysterious night, and the brilliant triumphs of light.” (Étude sur Charles Koechlin par lui-même, 1941, pub. 1981). Many examples of these thematic ideas may be mentioned, for instance in his nocturne, Vers la voûte étoilée, Berceuse phoque, the four Jungle Book symphonic poems, the piano and orchestral versions of Les heures persanes and the important late orchestral work Le Docteur Fabricius. Coinciding with the rise of the motion picture, in the 1930s Koechlin extended his contemplation of ethereal bodies to include stars of a different kind, being those of the silver screen. He developed an especial fascination for Lilian Harvey, to whom he dedicated a large number of songs and other pieces, albeit her reaction remained one of disinterest. Besides Harvey, in Charles Koechlin his Seven stars’ symphony Koechlin presented his conception of six other stars, including a number of first recordings, including Garbo, Dietrich and Chaplin. several of which will be featured in a series Some works have yet to be recorded, but this of Koechlin programs to be broadcast over is steadily being remedied, most recently by the next three months. The series begins the release of two seven-CD compilations on Tuesdays 3 and 17 July at 1pm.

GRIEG’S ICONIC CONCERTO RAJ GOPALAKRISHNAN TELLS ITS STORY

“In the clanging chords of the opening, he was in brilliant form. A few minutes later, he seemed to be bending close to the piano, listening. Then his left hand fell from the piano, his head almost touched the keys. A second later he rolled off the stool on to the floor. It was a cerebral haemorrhage.” – TIME Magazine, April 1951 There are several iconic Romantic piano concertos in the repertoire but few can claim to be both popular and responsible for seeing off their soloist in the middle of a performance. Enter: Edvard Grieg and his evergreen Piano concerto in A minor, op 16. The unfortunate pianist in question was Russian virtuoso Simon Barere, performing at Carnegie Hall, with Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra. Doctors rushed to the stage but they could not save Barere. Within ten minutes, he was pronounced dead. Grieg’s concerto claims another unique, albeit less grisly, place in music history. In 1909, pioneering German pianist Wilhelm Backhaus recorded an abridged version of the concerto for The Edvard Grieg Gramophone Company/HMV. Lasting a mere six-and-a-half minutes due to the technological limitations of the era, this was the first recorded performance of Grieg’s concerto as well as the first-ever recording of any piano concerto. During the northern summer of 1868, the 25-year-old composer travelled with his family to Søllerød, Denmark. It was here that Grieg, in the midst of idyllic and tranquil surroundings, began writing his only piano concerto. What sets it apart from many concertos of the period is Grieg’s command of his orchestral palette, infusing elements of Norwegian dances and folksongs while deftly balancing poetry and tension in the soloist’s part sparkling with Lisztian brilliance. Structurally, the work follows a traditional architecture with two fast movements bookending an ethereal adagio of serene beauty. While he was studying in Leipzig in 1858-62, Grieg had heard Clara Schumann playing Robert Schumann’s Piano concerto in A minor, op 54. Much has been written about the parallels between this work and Grieg’s concerto: they share the same key; both feature

Liszt was one of its earliest admirers and after sightreading the concerto, he exclaimed to Grieg, “You carry on, my friend. You have the right stuff in you. And don’t ever let them frighten you!” However, the work was not without its detractors. Debussy, who famously derided Grieg’s oeuvre as ‘pink bonbons filled with snow’, wrote sarcastically in 1903, “Has anyone noticed how awful people from the north become when they try to be Mediterranean?” He added that “[Grieg] is nothing more than a clever musician, more concerned with effect than with true art”.

sudden entrances of the piano in the opening movements; and neither composer completed another concerto for this instrument. Although Schumann’s concerto served as a model for Grieg’s composition, the latter’s concerto inspired a generation of composers including Rachmaninov, MacDowell, Delius and Sinding. Grieg’s concerto was an immediate success at its Copenhagen premiere in 1869, effectively launching his international profile. Curiously, several publishers refused to print the full score and it remained unpublished until after the work’s first Leipzig performance in 1872. The concerto was revised no less than seven times from 1868 to just six weeks before Grieg’s death in 1907. This amounted to over 300 alterations, described by the Henle publishing house as ‘an editor’s nightmare’ while preparing a new edition of the score. The changes mainly involve the dynamics and instrumentation of the orchestral part (for example, doubling the number of horns from two to four in the final version), new tempo indications and refinements to the solo part.

Moving into the 20th century and beyond, Grieg’s work became one of the archetypes for the ‘romantic concerto’. Its opening timpani roll and descending passage in the piano has been quoted or parodied in numerous films, television comedy sketches and Broadway musicals such as Song of Norway and How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying. It also formed the basis of a popular rock and roll song titled Asia minor, which was banned by the BBC in 1961 for violating its broadcasting standards and was deemed to be ‘[distorting] melody, harmony and rhythm’. Grieg’s Piano Concerto remains a perennial favourite with audiences for its abundance of attractive melodies, dramatic flourishes and exuberant rhythms. It, too, has been performed and recorded by successive generations of virtuoso pianists, from Sviatoslav Richter to Lang Lang. The concerto’s enduring popularity has seen it remain in the repertoire since its premiere and it continues to be frequently heard in concert halls and on radio. To mark the 150th anniversary of the composition, we will hear the original 1868 version of Grieg’s concerto, along with Schumann’s concerto and other works by composers who have modelled their concertos on that of Grieg. Listen to Sunday Special at 3pm on 15 July. July 2018

THE ECLECTIC OMEGA ENSEMBLE CATHERINE PEAKE REVEALS ITS PASSION AND DIVERSITY The purchase of a plastic Yamaha clarinet from a shop in Pitt Street led David Rowden, at the age of nine, into learning to play the instrument. With the encouragement of his musical grandparent and his family’s interest in music, it was inevitable that David would begin performing in school concerts and later move to Europe to further his studies and pursue a career in music. This also led to his establishment of the Omega Ensemble in 2005 on his return to Australia after performing in Europe and the United States. The Omega Ensemble reflects Rowden’s passion for the clarinet and his aim of bringing together top national and international performers in wide-ranging and eclectic programming. Its July concert ‘Love’ will encompass pieces from the established chamber repertoire as well as a newly commissioned work from Australian composer Gerard Brophy. Rowden says that his musical development was assisted by mentor Paul Meyer, possibly the most recognised clarinettist in the world today. Rowden first met Meyer at age 14 when he obtained Meyer’s autograph after hearing him perform with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. While he was a student at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Rowden met Meyer again at a masterclass in France. The masterclass was a pivotal moment, described by Rowden as ‘a lifechanging experience’ for him.

concerts, and it has worked with guest artists including Paul Meyer, Dimitri Ashkenazy and Kathryn Selby. Omega Ensemble is based in Sydney and he mentions that Sydney has a lot of talented principal musicians who also enjoy the challenge of playing the extended repertoire on stage that the Ensemble offers. As Rowden says, “There is nowhere to hide in chamber music. Every instrument has its own voice”. The Ensemble has a stable corps of performers who appear in most of the concerts, but as we have come to expect from the Omega Ensemble the concert in July will be the showcase for more than one exceptional invited artist. Rowden says that the nature of chamber music means a changing mix of musicians and with the chamber repertoire so large and diverse the Ensemble tries to be as broad and inclusive as it can. The July concert will include two pieces for clarinet, with Rowden performing in the Weber Quintet for clarinet and strings in B flat major, op 34. The Sydney premiere of Gerard Brophy’s 2017 composition We two boys together clinging will feature virtuoso clarinettist Lloyd Van’t Hoff, winner of the ABC Young Performer of the Year Award in 2015. The piece is a joint commission with Four Winds Festival and was written for sextet, a unique combination of instruments. In further programming in the concert, Omega Ensemble co-artistic director and pianist Maria

Raspopova will perform César Franck’s Sonata for violin and piano in A major with Alexandra Osborne, currently a violinist with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington. The Omega Ensemble has a regular program of commissioning new music from Australian composers. It has commissioned over 30 new Australian works and includes new music in its programs wherever possible. Omega is collaborative in its approach and communicates closely with the composer in the development of new works. In addition to Gerard Brophy, other composers with whom the Ensemble has worked include Daniel Rojas, Mark Isaacs, Elena Kats-Chernin and Anne Boyd. Omega Ensemble released a CD on ABC Classics last year, generously supported by Buffet Crampon, which encompasses the diverse programming for which the Ensemble has become known. The repertoire covers three centuries of music. The Ensemble performs regularly in the Utzon Room of the Sydney Opera House as well as at the City Recital Hall. It has undertaken tours to country towns around New South Wales, and in 2017 the Ensemble toured China. Omega Ensemble is also currently developing its On Demand site featuring recordings of many of its live performances. This is regularly updated and can be accessed on the internet. It is also uploaded quarterly to Qantas.

Rowden now plays a clarinet produced by leading instrument maker Buffet Crampon and is one of its official artists. Buffet Crampon has been a great influence on the Omega Ensemble, as Rowden attests. “It is a great honour to be a Buffet Crampon artist. The company was founded in 1825 and is most well known for its clarinets. As a Buffet Crampon artist, I am invited to give masterclasses in Australia and sometimes overseas and, of course, endorse their products, which is quite easy for me to do, as I simply could not imagine playing on a better instrument. Buffet Crampon is one of Omega Ensemble’s sponsors, and has enabled collaborations with artists like Paul Meyer.” Rowden also regularly gives masterclasses at the Newcastle Conservatorium of Music where he joined the staff in 2017 to teach clarinet. Rowden states that Omega brings together musicians from both Australia Omega Ensemble and overseas to perform in their Photo: Keith Saunders July 2018

BRUCKNER AND HIS SYMPHONIES DAVID OGILVIE REVEALS THE MAN BEHIND THE MUSIC I’ve never been a fan of Bruckner’s music. This stems partly from ignorance (how often do you hear Bruckner’s music on the radio or in concert?) and partly from the perception that all his works are a tribute to his devout Catholicism (true, although his Ninth Symphony is the only one that’s explicitly dedicated to God). Like Robert Stove (in Anton Bruckner and God), I agree that Bruckner’s music is something people either love or loathe, although in my case it wasn’t loathing, just indifference. His symphonies are also very, very long, although you may be surprised to learn that Mahler’s are longer. There used to be a stock response at Fine Music to the nervous question of the first-time presenter, “What shall I do if I’m alone in the station late at night and the next presenter fails to show?” Answer: “Stick on a Bruckner symphony!” Almost everyone who ever knew Bruckner reports that he was seriously weird. He died a virgin, not surprising when we learn he had a habit of proposing marriage to ladies whom he scarcely knew, not to mention keeping lists of teenage girls he fancied. There are apocryphal stories about his death-obsession. As well as becoming a frequent visitor at funeral parlours and cemeteries, viewing the bodily remains of total strangers, he ‘fingered and kissed the skulls of Beethoven and Schubert’ when their corpses were exhumed and moved to Vienna’s Central Cemetery. From our modern perspective, it’s clear that Bruckner suffered from a form of OCD, a condition that led him not only to write down the prayers he said each day, but to count the bricks and windows of buildings, even the numbers of bars in his gargantuan orchestral scores, making sure their proportions were statistically correct. Bruckner spent his youth helping his school teacher/organist father, although he succeeded more as an organist than as a school teacher. After exhausting the teaching resources of the nearby monastery at St Florian, he sought out a formidable Viennese polyphony professor named Simon Sechter, who in some ways was as obsessive as Bruckner, having written 5,000 competent but extremely boring fugues. By his late 30s, Bruckner had become a superb organist and had composed Ave Maria. This is the piece where he stopped being a student and started being a master. Unfortunately for Bruckner, he was not any more famous in his late 40s than in his early 20s. He had already written several symphonies, including two that remained unknown until

Anton Bruckner long after his death: the so-called Symphony no 0 (Die Nullte) and the Symphony no 00. Die Nullte is, in certain passages, about as light-hearted as Bruckner’s style ever became. These symphonies were not being performed or published and he had made nothing to speak of from his choral efforts. Then something totally unexpected happened: he discovered Wagner’s music. To the amazement of all who knew him, Bruckner tracked down Wagner at his home, showing him two scores he had written, the Second and the Third Symphony. The Second Symphony left Wagner unimpressed, simply telling Bruckner, ‘Very nice’, and leaving it at that. To quote Bruckner himself: “It did not seem bold enough for him ... Then he took the Third Symphony, and with the words ‘Look! Look! I say! I say!’, he went through the whole first part, mentioning most particularly the trumpet.” This was unsurprising, because if any Bruckner piece was going to appeal to Wagner, the Third Symphony was it. For one thing, Wagner, like Bruckner, was haunted by the opening of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in the same key. The indeterminate muttering of the strings, the atmosphere of expectancy and of menace, and above all the use of just one chord stretching on and on as if it would never stop: this was Wagner’s favourite Beethoven

passage and it was also Bruckner’s. In Bruckner, Wagner recognised a kindred spirit. The Guardian’s music critic Tom Service argues that Bruckner’s peculiar brand of musical obsessiveness opened up a new musical and spiritual terrain and produced visions of grandeur that are at once ancient and modern. “You hear that in the opening of the Fourth Symphony’s final, fourth movement — a chilling, dehumanised orchestral landscape in sound; in the emotional desolation of the Seventh Symphony’s slow movement, a tribute to the recently dead Wagner; and throughout the three completed movements of the Ninth … the music has the irresistible power of a force of nature rather than a subjective, personal scream.” For newcomers to Bruckner’s orchestral oeuvre, there is also the question of editions. During his lifetime, Bruckner’s symphonies were often cut or edited, leading to numerous revisions and the existence of various editions. There are five symphonies (nos 1 to 4 and 8) for which there is effectively more than one version. Unfortunately, a detailed discussion of each symphony is beyond the scope of this article. Find out more about Bruckner’s symphonies by listening to the twicemonthly series beginning on Friday 6 July at 3pm and 20 July at 2.30pm. July 2018

aul Hindemith’s Symphonic metamorphosis on themes of Weber was originally intended as a ballet for dancer and choreographer Léonide Massine. The project did not eventuate because Massine wanted more strict arrangements of Weber’s music and Hindemith disliked one of Massine’s ballets which he attended. The work was composed in the United States in 1943 and, although its thematic material belongs in the European tradition, Hindemith had in mind the virtuosity of American symphony orchestras and titled it in English. German translations were never sanctioned by the composer.

The Weber themes are taken from incidental music written by Weber in 1809 for a play by Carlo Gozzi based on the same Turandot legend used by Puccini in his opera. Hindemith and his wife used to play Weber’s music for piano four-hands, and Hindemith used some of these little-known pieces for the themes of some movements. Later the work was choreographed as a ballet, Metamorphosis, by George Balanchine and premiered in 1952 by the New York City Ballet. July 2018

Later he defied the gods by stealing fire and giving it to humanity thus enabling the progress of civilisation. As a result he was sentenced to eternal torment. In the Western Classical tradition, Prometheus became a figure representing human striving for knowledge. The creatures of Prometheus was Beethoven’s only full-length ballet. He based the fourth movement of his Eroica Symphony and his Eroica Variations on the main theme of the ballet’s finale.

Rachmaninov wrote two piano trios called Trio élégïaque. The first may have been a homage to his friend and mentor, Tchaikovsky. The second trio, written two years later, was the true ‘elegiac’ work mourning Tchaikovsky’s death. July 2018

ikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, is based on One Thousand and One Nights. The symphonic suite has particularly dazzling orchestration and follows the Russian interest of the time in orientalism. The main character in the book is Scheherazade who spins a tale every night to the Sultan whose first wife was unfaithful to him. In order not be betrayed again, he resolved to marry a new virgin each day after executing the previous day’s wife. He had killed numerous wives by the time Scheherazade began to tell her tales. Each night she stopped halfway through and said she would finish the next night but each night she would begin another tale and stop before the end. After 1,001 nights, the Sultan had fallen in love with her and could not bear to be parted from her.

BEHIND THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS NICKY GLUCH TELLS OF MUSIC FOR THE SILENT HOURS

Ah, night! That mystical time through which we all must pass to reach tomorrow. It means less to us now, perhaps, than in a time without electricity when the setting sun really did mark the end of a day. Different too, for us, than for those in Europe where night fluctuates: all light, then all dark, and back again. Night matters, though, for those who cannot sleep: insomnia stretches out the night just as jollity can shorten it. In One Thousand and One Nights or The Arabian Nights, Scheherazade spun tales to see the light of day. So, in another legend, the Russian ambassador to the court of Saxony was plagued by sleepless nights. He requested that a young man, Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, come to play for him in his bedchambers. The ambassador, Count Kaiserling asked Johann Sebastian Bach to compose cheering music, smooth but

premiere) is by Bernard Labadie, a Québécois composer and conductor specialising in Baroque music. What Labadie wishes to bring to light is how common transcriptions were in the 18th century. His work, then, is not a new invention but a revisiting of a musical philosophy now forgotten: recycling. “Bach,” he explained for the piece’s 1997 premiere, “wrote two or three versions of every composition, constantly reusing his own music, transforming it to an extent that would be unthinkable to modern musicians.” In a similar way, Labadie has taken Bach’s work and, although keeping it true to form, has made it something uniquely for strings. The process is musicologically fascinating, a contemplation of the differences between the keyboard and strings, each with the capacity to play its own part. The result is a work that stands alone. It is at once new and familiar, richer and more

Australian Chamber Orchestra Photo: Nic Walker somewhat lively, to ease the endless dark. Bach settled on a set of Variations, a form he normally eschewed and so one of the most famous pieces throughout history was born. Goldberg was a harpsichordist and as Bach’s piece is written for the double-manual version of the instrument, the legend holds. Over the years, many harpsichordists and pianists have produced admirable interpretations but the temptation has persisted to arrange it for something more than keyboard. It is thus in a string ensemble form that the Australian Chamber Orchestra will perform it this August. The arrangement (an Australian

muted. It is beloved music given a new day. Some music, however, slumbers. Locked away in an attic, hidden in drawers or amongst the pages of a book, it is fortune which sees it reawakened. The ACO opens the concert with one such work: Canons on a Goldberg ground. In 1974, Bach’s personal copy of the Goldberg variations was discovered. In it lay an appendix of 14 canons built on the first eight bass notes in the Goldberg theme. These Richard Tognetti has arranged for string ensemble and thus audiences will get a true insight into the way the transcriber’s voice comes to be attuned with that of the composer.

Stravinsky’s Three pieces for string quartet is next on the program. Composed in 1914 and revised in 1918, the pieces have an echo of the First World War. They were written at a time when Stravinsky still spent summers in Russia and winters in Switzerland, something the War prevented. The returned soldiers who may have heard this work would have had a very different perspective of night. To them night brought a reprieve from the terror of the day. And so night must fall. As the prelude to the Variations, the ACO has selected Thomas Adès’ Nightfall from his work for string quartet, Four quarters. In the piece, Adès charts the diurnal cycle, from Nightfall through day to the Twenty-fifth hour (as he calls it). The chosen movement is beautiful with the instruments set on two planes. The upper voices play harmonics while the lower voices play slower and in harmony; there is a celestial quality, shimmering stars across the night sky. With the stage set, the ACO will then turn to the title work: the Goldberg theme and its 30 variations. Bach’s genius was to compose them in such a way that they unfold. Like Scheherazade’s tales, each leaves you wanting something more. Dances alternate with canons, rapid variations with those of a more contemplative tone. The final variation is comedic, based on German folk songs combined to form a quodlibet. It makes the return of the theme, the Aria da capo, all the more nostalgic. As the musicologist Peter Williams, wrote: “... no such return can have a neutral Affekt. Its melody is made to stand out by what has gone on in the last five variations, and it is likely to appear wistful or nostalgic or subdued or resigned or sad, heard on its repeat as something coming to an end, the same notes but now final”. Night falls, day breaks, then night falls again: with it, music comes to beautify the silent hours.

OF GHOSTS, SCOTS AND WITCHES

SNIPPETS OF USELESS INFORMATION COMPILED BY ELAINE SIVERSEN When we say something has ‘given us the willies’ some of us will recall the hapless maidens of the ballet Giselle by Adolphe Adam. In this ballet, Giselle, after being deceived by her lover, loses her reason, kills herself and joins the Wilis, the ghosts of maidens who have died before their wedding day. Puccini uses a similar plot in his opera Le Villi. Another ballet with a supernatural element is Herman Løvenskjold’s La Sylphide, set in Scotland. The story revolves around a woodland sprite who ensnares a Highland lad. Most interestingly, the male dancers are required to wear the kilt!

the dance of a pretty witch dressed in a ‘cutty sark’ (a very short slip of coarse Paisley cloth), which would have been quite shocking in Burns’ time. Eugene Goossens portrayed this scene in a puckish and fantastic orchestral scherzo that depicts the witches pursuing Tam as he rides away on his grey mare, Meg. The bagpipes, an ancient instrument, are not usually associated with a symphony

Staying in Scotland, there is jollity in Malcolm Arnold’s overture based on the Robert Burns 1792 poem Tam O’Shanter. The story revolves around the adventures of a drunken layabout who clashes with a crowd of witches in a churchyard. Orchestrally the bassoons and trombones lurch and stagger while strings impersonate the bagpipes. In addition a piccolo plays a cheeky tune simulating Piper in the Highlands

orchestra and most would agree that they are best heard in a full pipe band or from a lone piper in the open air, across a loch, by an old castle, in a Highland glen or on the wild moors. Musical history was made when Scottish composer Ian Whyte wrote a special part for bagpipes in his ballet Donald of the Burthens, produced at Covent Garden in 1951. Later Peter Maxwell Davies used the pipes in his An Orkney wedding with sunrise. Here the bagpipes depict the long walk home across the moors after a night of jollity celebrating a wedding. Another Scottish connection is the composer Eugène d’Albert. He was born in Scotland of Italian and French parentage, was German by adoption and died in Russia. His career as a virtuoso pianist took him all over Europe. This very busy international figure found time to compose 20 operas while getting in and out of six marriages. Some of this music can be heard at 2pm on Sunday 22 July.

MUSICAL FAMILIES

ELIZABETH HILL DISCUSSES THREE SETS OF MUSICAL BROTHERS and Karl the Kapellmeister in Stuttgart.

When we think of the Russian greats, names such as Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Stravinsky spring to mind. Vasily Kalinnikov certainly merits a place among these giants but his story is a tragically short one, and his death from tuberculosis at the age of 34 means we will never know what amazing music he could have written in later years. Still, his legacy includes some beautiful melodic pieces, among them two symphonies and several piano, vocal, choral and orchestral works. Through his music he portrayed rural Russian life, using colourful orchestrations, melodies and rhythm to evoke traditional folk songs.

Although he is mostly remembered today for his works featuring the flute, Franz was celebrated as a composer of popular ballets and operas, and for his brilliant orchestral arrangements and transcriptions, notably of Liszt’s six Hungarian rhapsodies.

Victor Kalinnikov

Vasily Kalinnikov

He was championed by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov and his music was immensely popular during his lifetime; but poverty caused him to find work playing the violin, bassoon and timpani with theatre orchestras, and as a copyist. His teacher, Krugilov, provided financial help, and in 1892 Tchaikovsky recommended him as conductor for the Maly Theatre and later the Moscow Italian Theatre. However, his worsening health forced him to resign a year later. He moved to the warmth of South Crimea in search of a cure and here he completed both of his symphonies and a variety of instrumental works. Rachmaninov continued to provide financial relief and arranged for the publication of some of his works. Sadly, Kalinnikov died before he was able to benefit from most of these arrangements. Vasily was survived by his younger brother Viktor, who was one of the most gifted composers of church music at the Moscow Synodal School. At the school, which was famous for its choir of men and boys in the first two decades of the 20th century, he was part

of a group of young Russian composers who were encouraged by Tchaikovsky to explore ancient Russian chant as a source of musical identity. Here he created sacred choral works of ‘textural richness, timbral variety, and profound spiritual reverence, always maintaining the preeminence of the sacred liturgical text’. His musical output was not prolific, but his 24 short sacred settings for the Russian Orthodox All-Night Vigil and Divine Liturgy composed between 1922 and 1926 caused one modern-day critic to hail him as representing ‘the zenith of Russian sacred music’.

Welsh brothers Paul and Huw Watkins are classical musicians who have been performing together ever since they were big enough to reach the piano keys. Acclaimed for his inspirational performances, Paul first came to attention as a cellist, but has also developed a distinguished career as a conductor and chamber musician. His younger brother Huw balances his time between composition and the piano, primarily playing chamber music. His first commission was at the age of 17, when he composed an organ piece for his brother’s wedding, but his breakthrough as a composer came in 1999 with the premiere of his Sonata for cello and eight instruments, composed for Paul. Since then his growing body of work includes orchestral works, chamber music, chamber operas and vocal works.

Musical Families will be heard on Tuesdays 3 and 17 July at 2pm.

Like many other 19th century musicians, brothers Franz and Karl Doppler enjoyed dual careers as performers and composers. They made an important contribution to the birth of national Hungarian music, and helped found the Hungarian Philharmonic Orchestra in 1853. Many of their compositions, sometimes written together, reflect Romany musical influences. The brothers gained fame touring Europe with their flute duo recitals and became quite a sensation, with the left-handed Karl holding his flute ‘backwards’, creating a mirror image of his right-handed brother when together on the stage. They both spent decades as flautists and conductors in Austrian and Hungarian theatres before Franz became the conductor Franz and Karl Doppler of the Vienna Court Opera, July 2018

Debbie Scholem’s topic is of both musical and medical interest. She discusses whether creative people are more prone to psychopathology than any other group? We know that some composers, like Schumann, suffered from bipolar illness, but other lesser known composers had distinct neuroses which made their lives much more difficult. During this talk, you will hear examples of wonderful works written during the most challenging times of these composers’ lives.

In Beethoven’s superlative Violin Concerto, the Willoughby Symphony proudly presents the sensational young Australian violinist, Courtenay Cleary, who exploded onto the classical music scene in 2017 with a spectacular performance for the British Royal

Family at Westminster Abbey. Courtenay’s masterful rendition of this divine concerto will make this concert a triumphant and moving occasion in the stupendous Concert Hall at The Concourse, a venue which could not be more perfect for this repertoire.

Music of Jacob van Eyck Genevieve Lacey, recorder ABC 481 6480

:::

Sunday afternoon visitors to the expanses of Utrecht’s Janskerkhof churchyard. Genevieve has chosen an equally brash, even piercing, instrument for the recording which I believe is a close copy of van Eyck’s own little recorder, made from the tusk of a narwhal.

Genevieve Lacey gives brilliantly played, note-perfect performances of 11 tunes from van Eyck’s collection Der Fluyten Lusthof of around 120 “… mostly variation sets on popular tunes of the period both loved and feared by professional recorder players today. The music, technically demanding, bears unmistakable witness to Jacob van Eyck’s own virtuosity” to quote Thiemo Wind. Any recorder player attempting Der Fluyten Lusthof will be inspired by Genevieve’s performances which are forceful and projected, as befitting music to be played outdoors to entertain

Listening to the CD at home and travelling in the car I had to conclude that van Eyck played forcefully on a brash recorder needs to be heard ‘outdoors and several miles away’, to appropriate Thomas Beecham’s famous line on brass bands. In the context of an indoor performance of van Eyck, I think there’s a golden opportunity to use both a variety of instruments with some softer palettes (to suit the gentler tunes), and big variations in dynamics to bring out the rhetoric so often present in his works.

Andrew which gives the CD a striking appearance; however, I was disappointed that the notes, written by Genevieve, give so little information, and critically neglect to mention the maker of her recorder which is a real ‘cracker’ in every sense.

RAVEL AND DEBUSSY STRING QUARTETS

Debussy’s String quartet no 1 in G minor, op 10 is an excursion through the senses which takes the expected classical form and structure and burns it to the ground. From the ashes rises a harmonic and rhythmic escapade which challenges the listener to look deep within the four lines of writing to discover an exotic cocktail of harmonic and rhythmic delights. Of particular interest is the pizzicato section towards the end of the second movement written in the irregular 15/8 meter where the instruments bounce playfully between triple and duple time within the same bar. His initial statement revolves around a ‘motto’ theme which carries weight throughout the piece, presenting itself in different guises in all movements except the incredibly emotional slow movement,

which conveys a prayer-like aura through expansive, yet thinly veiled, accompaniments. Ravel’s String quartet in F major benefits from a coherent structure and a more translucent fluidity of the music across the four instruments. The atmospheric qualities of the first movement give way to an elegant pizzicato-based interlude which contains a multitude of aesthetically pleasing moments before a sombre sparsely written third movement again changes the overall direction of the work. The fiery finale, in quintuple time, evokes brashness and energy and provides plenty of excitement to round out a very fresh and well-engineered disc.

SUMMER NIGHT

Works by Othmar Schoeck Christoph Croisé, cello Chamber Orchestra I TEMPI/Gevorg Gharabekyan

:::::

“All music … is song” declared Swiss composer Othmar Schoeck (1886-1957). As the composer of about 300 songs, song cycles and opera, Schoeck’s philosophy carries over into his orchestral music. This is not to say that it is all sweet melody but it is melody with a distinctly modern feel. While there are lyrical sections there are also dissonant harmonies and vibrant, rhythmic chordal progressions, reminiscent of Prokofiev’s music. On this disc is Schoeck’s most successful orchestral work Summer night, op 58, a pastoral intermezzo for string orchestra (1945). There

Frank Shostakovich

are also two major works: Suite in A flat for strings, op 59 (1945) and Concerto for cello and strings, op 61 (1947). The orchestra and conductor were previously unknown to me but, as this is only their second recording, this is not surprising. Gharabekyan has absorbed influences from his meetings with conductors such as Panula, Järvi, Muti, Zinman and Rozhdestvensky and the standard of playing is exceptional. The cellist, Christoph Croisé sent this disc to Fine Music magazine from Switzerland. He debuted at Carnegie Hall at the age of 17 and, at the age of 25, has already appeared with many major European orchestras and been awarded numerous competition prizes. He plays Schoeck’s concerto with great empathy for its lyricism but also with muscularity in the more forceful passages.

The music is thoroughly enjoyable and an eyeopener for those of us who were unfamiliar with the music of Othmar Schoeck. With almost five hours of his music already in our record library, I will be investigating further. Elaine Siversen July 2018

Jazz CD Reviews YOU’D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO Alexis Cole Venus VHCD 1046

::::: Here is the supreme stylist at the height of her powers. No need to look any further for the next great jazz singer: this album is the proof, if any were needed. The title track, where Alexis Cole is backed by One For All, is worth the price of the album alone. This brilliant group, inspired by Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers of the 1960s, is named after the drummer’s final Blue Note recording in 1990 at the age of 71. Under the nominal leadership of pianist David Hazeltine since 1979, it sizzles through the Cole Porter standard spotlighting the talents

of the leader, trombonist Steve Davis, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, bassist John Webber and drummer Joe Farnsworth, and an inspired Cole more than matches them. Compared with Carmen McRae after Cole’s 2013 debut album, The Sultry Sound of Jazz with the trio of pianist John DiMartino, it is interesting to compare their versions of All the things you are. Originally written as a ballad by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, I enjoyed McRae’s 1957 recording on first hearing it but Cole takes her Latin-inflected version to even greater heights. Yet this is only one of the many highlights; Cole Porter’s So in love swings nicely, Cole sharing the spotlight with Davis, a soloist of the highest class. Surprisingly only one ballad! You’ve changed, just another highlight as trumpeter Jim Rotondi

COAST

Paul Derricott’s Coast Band AAC084

::::: The ensemble Coast was formed with the mission statement of exploring complex rhythmic structures and textures in a jazz and improvising manner. Its recently released selftitled debut album is high in energy and full of dynamic instrumentals, sparkling in the variety of its timbres and the diversity of its colours. The title takes on an additional meaning in this context because it translates the relationship that this album bears to the sound source: the waters of the shorelines of Australia. On the aptly titled tracks, Tide, Blackline and White water, Peter Koopman’s guitar

HASHIMA

The Haywain Metropolis Music Company CD074

::::: For me, Belgrade was an unlikely focal point for jazz. Brainchild of guitarist Igor Miskovic, Hashima is a Belgrade-based quartet with its second album attracting serious international attention. I am using my newly minted phrase ‘horror jazz’ as a term of endearment to describe this album as a shuddering triumph. Taking inspiration from the Serbian classical composer Vasilije Mokranjac and Hieronymus Bosch’s The Haywain Triptych (Museo del Prado), these five original pieces are a confronting work that shocks, scares then lulls you into a state of serene relief with the use of haunting moments of silence before 48

complements Cole’s sophisticated delivery sublimely. The search for the next great jazz singer is over. This album is the proof. Kevin Jones

playing is texturally dominant but it does marry harmoniously with Michael Avgenicos’ saxophone and Shannon Stitts’ keyboard playing, deftly juxtaposing electronica, funk, jazz and ‘prog’ rock. Pulsating like some mysteriously precise metronome, completely free of the rigidity that belongs to merely functional time, is the imprint of Paul Derricott’s drums, a true fist of iron inside this record’s velvet glove. Yet there’s no grandstanding in this team effort. Each member, with the inspired addition of Giorgio Rojas on congas on favourite track Dance 35, contributes equally to the rhythmic and harmonic textures, thus creating an impressive panoply packed with musical bravura. Barry O’Sullivan

jolting your senses into a super groove. Screaming guitar, wailing saxophone, thunderous bass and thrashing cymbals with the addition of special guest, Portuguese trumpeter Susan Santos, bring this music from aural temptation to theatrical ‘fright night’ using elements of Balkan folk, Pink Floyd and Croatian Punk tempered wonderfully by underscored moments of lucid jazz sensibility. Yes, the arrangements make for glorious suspense but the exceptional musicianship along with enlightened production, which somehow make the soloists stand out like illuminated silhouettes in the night, all combine to elevate this album into masterpiece territory. If I had to reluctantly choose a highlight it would be Ray of the microcosm inspired by Bosch’s left panel where man is created, portrayed by the stark echoes of Miskovic’s

single plucked strings before Todorovic’s arco bass brews up a storm when mankind falls into sin, characterised by Srdan Mijalkovic’s pensive, yet tempestuous tenor sax. Frank Presley

MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL

MAUREEN MEERS DESCRIBES THE TOWN AND THE EVENT For most of the year the wealthy enclave of Montreux has a sleepy, olde-worlde atmosphere, but for two weeks each July it wakes up with a bang when world-class musicians from every category of modern music come to play. Jazz, of course, is a main feature on the festival’s musical menu. So where is Montreux, and how did this festival begin? Home to the Montreux Jazz Festival, this small Swiss town in the Canton of Vaud is located on the north-eastern shore of Lake Geneva (also known as Lac Léman) facing the spectacular Dents du Midi mountains. There’s a fork in the Roman road from Italy over the Simplon Pass. Here the roads to the Roman capital of Aventicum and the road into Gaul through Besançon separate and nestled in this fork is Montreux which was an important settlement in the Roman era. However, the earliest recorded settlement in the area is a Late Bronze Age village at nearby Baugy. Viticulture was introduced to the region in the 12th century, and the sunny slopes of the lakeshore from Lavaux to Montreux became important for wine growing. Today, vineyards still line the shore between Montreux and Geneva at the other end of Lake Geneva. A trip between the two gives a wonderful memory of the vineyardcovered hillsides overlooking the lake. The Dukes of Savoy once had claims on the modern Canton of Vaud, but their rule was cut short in the 15th century when, during the Protestant Reformation, it fell under the occupation of the Swiss Bernese. Under Bernese rule Montreux belonged to the bailiwick of Chillon and modern visitors to the area usually visit the old castle at Chillon perched on the shore of the lake. The Reformation made the area around Montreux an attractive haven for the Italian Huguenots who brought their artisanal skills to the region and set up workshops

and businesses. Napoleon liberated the region in 1798 from the Bernese and in the late 19th century the tourist industry became a major commercial outlet, with the grand hotels of Montreux attracting the rich and cultured from Europe and America. In 1967, three jazz enthusiasts: Claude Nobs, Géo Voumard and René Langel, with the assistance of Nesuhi Ertegun of Atlantic Records, founded the Montreux Jazz Festival. The first festival, held at Montreux Casino, almost exclusively featured jazz artists. The highlights of this era were artists such as Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette, Bill Evans, Soft Machine, Weather Report, The Fourth Way, Nina Simone, Jan Garbarek and Ella Fitzgerald. In the 1970s the festival broadened its scope. Jazz still remains an important part of the festival, but today the festival presents artists of nearly every imaginable music style, including blues, soul and rock artists such as Marianne Faithfull, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Deep Purple, Canned Heat and many others. In the late 1970s the festival started including music from all continents (with special emphasis on Brazilian music) and the festival lasted three weeks. When Deep Purple came to Montreux in December 1971 to record Machine Head, the band’s famous song Smoke on the water tells of the events of December 1971 when a Frank Zappa fan, with a flare gun, started a fire that completely destroyed the Montreux Casino where they had planned to record the album.

In the 1980s the festival grew dramatically to include an even wider variety of music styles. Jazz remained important, as did Brazilian music, but more and more rock and pop artists were invited. Miles Davis came to Montreux several times, British hard rock band Deep Purple was invited as headliner eight times, and Status Quo has headlined the festival twice. Today, the Montreux Jazz Festival has become a world music festival. Quincy Jones co-produced the festival from 1991 to 1993 and the festival, having outgrown the Casino, moved to the larger Convention Centre. There was also an ‘off-festival’, which developed on the lakeshore promenades and in the cafés of Montreux. The event now attracts a quarter of a million people. The initiator and, until his tragic death in 2013, the head organiser, Claude Nobs, managed to bring an array of artists, established and new, to Montreux. Following Claude’s death the organisation of the festival was handed over to Mathieu Jaton. This year the festival, the 52nd, runs from 29 June to 14 July and promises once again to be world class. The lineup of musicians includes Queens of the Stone Age, Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails, Van Morrison, Tyler, The Creator, Alice In Chains, Ben Howard, Aloe Blacc, Portugal, The Man and Jamiroquai. You can hear some great jazz musicians in highlights from previous Montreux festivals in Jazz Pure and Simple on Thursday 5 July at 12 noon and on DAB+ on Sundays 8, 15, 22 and 29 July at 7pm.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS ELAINE SIVERSEN RECOGNISES FOUR MUSICIANS

The 90th birthday of an Australian composer and the 100th anniversary of the births of three eminent American musicians are being celebrated in music this month. After Kristallnacht in Berlin in 1938 when Jews were targeted by the Nazis, George Dreyfus, born on 22 July 1928, found safety in Melbourne. His parents were able to obtain immigration visas for their children who were sent to a boarding school until the parents could follow in 1939. George studied at the Melba Conservatorium becoming a bassoonist and later a composer of mainly film and television scores. He has also written a great deal of chamber music, much of it for his own performance with the bassoon. His first composition, Trio for flute, clarinet and bassoon, op 1 (1956), won the APRA Serious Music Award in 1986. While he has composed operas, it has been a struggle to have them performed. His compositions have won him many awards but it was his music for the television series Rush which brought him public acclaim. At the APRA Music Awards of 2013 he was recognised for his Distinguished Services to Australian Music.

Philharmonic. He soon followed a career as a solo cellist and chamber musician. With violinist Isaac Stern and pianist Eugene Istomin, he formed a much-acclaimed piano trio. His teaching has produced numerous musicians who have filled the ranks of major orchestras, some of whom have attained international status as soloists. They include Lynn Harrell, Yehuda Hanani and Yo-Yo Ma.

Eugene List the Soviet Union and no one in the USA had seen it before. His dazzling performance was greatly acclaimed and, as the only pianist in the country who knew the concerto, he was soon offered engagements with other major orchestras. This led to an illustrious career as one of the foremost concert pianists and teachers of his generation. The celebrated cellist and teacher, Leonard Rose, was born on 27 July 1918 in Washington DC. His parents were immigrants from Ukraine. After he studied at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music he began his career as an orchestral musician. He joined Arturo Toscanini’s NBC Symphony Orchestra at age 20 and almost immediately became Associate Principal. At 21 he was Principal Cello of the Cleveland Orchestra and at 26 was the Principal of the New York

George Dreyfus Of Russian parentage, Eugene List was born in Philadelphia, USA, on 6 July 1918. The family soon moved to California where Eugene’s striking musical gifts became apparent while he was a child. At the age of 12, he performed Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. After studying at the Philadelphia Conservatory and the Juilliard School in New York, the 16-year old List was given a stunning challenge. Six weeks before a scheduled performance with the renowned Philadelphia Orchestra, Leopold Stokowski asked him to play the premiere of Shostakovich’s Piano concerto no 1. The score had just arrived from 50

Another child prodigy, born in California to Italian immigrants on 24 July 1918, was the violinist Ruggiero Ricci. His parents, being patriotic to their new country, first named him Woodrow Wilson Rich and his brother, who became the well-known cellist George Ricci, was named George Washington

Ruggerio Ricci Rich. Ruggiero debuted in public at the age of ten, playing works of the great violinistcomposers Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps. A year later, he played the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and soon after made his debut at Carnegie Hall. In 1947, Ricci was the first violinist to record, in their original form, the complete 24 Caprices, op 1 by Paganini. Aside from performing over 6,000 concerts in 65 countries during his 70-year solo career, Ricci also made over 500 recordings on every major label. He also taught at some of the most prestigious music schools in the USA as well as at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. Ricci owned many precious instruments, including the Guarneri del Gesù violin once owned by master violinist Henri Vieuxtemps. Celebrate the 90th birthday of George Dreyfus and the musicianship of Eugene List, Ruggiero Ricci and Leonard Rose in Sunday Special on 29 July at 3pm.

Dedication, Digital and Dogs SUE JOWELL TALKS TO MELISSA EVANS

volunteering at Fine Music was the ideal way of augmenting her studies. What she may not have realised is that, in addition, she would learn new skills such as programming and editing sound waves for digital (DAB+) broadcasting. She would also widen her social horizons and reap the benefits of working as an integral part of a team. Her dedication to the task of digital editing has meant that she could share her acquired knowledge by teaching visiting work experience students.

Regular listeners to Fine Music will be familiar with the call sign ‘You are listening to Fine Music 102.5 broadcasting on FM and on DAB+’, but few may have paused to consider what DAB+ actually means. DAB+ is Digital Audio Broadcasting, a radio channel broadcasting simultaneously with FM. Behind it is a dedicated digital editing team made up of volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that Fine Music keeps up to date with the latest in broadcasting trends. Melissa Evans is a member of this team and dedication is her byword. Melissa grew up in Wollstonecraft, attending North Sydney Demonstration School. She began playing the piano at the age of six. “My first performance was in grade one at the year-end concert my teacher gave for her students. I played River flows in you by the Korean composer Yiruma.” Some four years later, dedication again paid off as she passed her first music exams with flying colours. Since then she has performed often, utilising her talents by playing with others, accompanying the singing or violin

Melissa is equally dedicated to animals, especially to her small poodle Teenee and to those canines she meets as a dog walker. Melissa Evans playing of her friends, assisting her teacher at recitals or performing at family events. In 2016, the year when Melissa began studying for her Bachelor of Journalism degree, she realised that, with her love of music and her piano playing talents,

Melissa’s mission in life is to make an impact, and clearly she is well on the way to achieving this. “My career goal is to become an investigative journalist, reporting on issues of social and animal rights.” To counterbalance these serious issues, Melissa maintains her equilibrium by reading mystery and humorous novels and, of course, listening to her favourite Romantic music on Fine Music 102.5 and Fine Music DAB+.
