FROM THE CHAIR

We are proud to broadcast to the whole of the greater Sydney metropolitan area, from Gosford to the Southern Highlands and out to the Blue Mountains. We seek to encourage fine music in our region, not only by broadcasting concert performances by local ensembles, but also by actively supporting Sydney-based musicians.

We have recently announced that The Marais Project will be the Fine Music Artists-in-Residence for 20192020, succeeding the Streeton Trio. We are thrilled to have another world-class ensemble as our principal music partner and look forward to our collaboration. This year we have decided to add an Emerging Artists-in-Residence and, from no less than 17 applications, have selected the Michael Griffin Sextet, a jazz ensemble, to fill that role in 2019. This is designed to help further the career of young musicians making their way in the professional ranks. I’m sure you will enjoy hearing both groups on Fine Music 102.5.

Earlier we announced Daniel Dean as the 2018 winner of our Young Composer Award. This very talented young man received a $5,000 cash prize, sponsored by APRA, and the honour of seeing his winning entry given its world premiere by the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra at The Concourse in Chatswood back in June.

By the time you read this, we will have announced our Kruger Scholar for 2019, succeeding another composer, Cameron Lam, who has used his scholarship to write an ambitious song cycle and, on 14 October, we will be hosting the NSW final of our Young Virtuoso Award competition, featuring six of the finest young musicians in the state.

Finally, I must mention another new initiative: the inaugural Fine Music School Jazz Combo competition. With a preliminary round in May and a final in September, both broadcast live, this is intended to encourage high school jazz ensembles and give them first-hand experience of competition and broadcasting.

SCHOLAR, COMPOSER AND TEACHER RAJ GOPALAKRISHNAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO HUBERT PARRY “Half-a-dozen of [Parry’s] enthusiastic, eloquent words were worth a hundred learned expositions.” — Vaughan Williams The pages of history are interspersed with composers whose names survive mostly through a single work or two.

Only a handful of composers are guaranteed to appear in every season of the BBC Proms, the world’s largest classical music festival, where Hubert Parry’s most popular work, the rousing choral song Jerusalem, is a regular showstopper at the Last Night of the Proms.

However, the bulk of Parry’s extensive output and his substantial contributions to the revitalisation of English classical music remain largely unknown.

This month marks the centenary of the death of the man who is often credited as being one of the leading figures in the 19th century renaissance of English music. As an influential Hubert Parry scholar, composer and teacher, Parry is regarded by some as the first study in Vienna, who would leave a lasting significant English-born composer since impression on his compositional style, most the 17th century composer Henry Purcell. noticeably in the five symphonies, chamber music and his handling of text in vocal works.

Born in 1848 into an affluent squirearchy family, Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (known By the late 1870s, Parry had devoted his as Hubert) was educated at Eton where he life completely to music, furiously producing excelled in music, obtaining a Bachelor of his first substantial works while contributing Music at age 18. At the behest of his father, over 100 articles for Grove’s Dictionary of Parry took up modern history and law at Music and Musicians. Elgar later attributed Oxford, leading to a position in insurance. his development as a composer to these However, music remained his major interest meticulously researched articles. Parry’s scholarly work led to a teaching position at the and he continued to pursue his musical Royal College of Music (RCM) where he had studies, searching for teachers to guide him. an enormous impact on the next generation This search led him to Edward Dannreuther, of composers including Gustav Holst, Frank a German-born pianist and teacher residing Bridge and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Parry in London who was introducing English eventually succeeded George Grove as audiences to new music from emerging and director of the RCM in 1895. During this established composers. Parry’s earliest period, his works were well-received including works premiered at these concerts, including Symphonic variations and choral works such as his Piano concerto in F sharp and his Blest pair of sirens and I was glad, a coronation Fantasie sonata in B for violin and piano. anthem for Edward VII which continues It was through Dannreuther that Parry fell to be performed at royal occasions today. under the spell of Wagner, breaking away from the Mendelssohnian style which was pervasive at the time. Other influences included J.S. Bach and Schumann but it was Brahms, with whom Parry had once tried to

The last decade of Parry’s life brought forth some of his best works, such as the Symphony no 5, but a succession of personal and world events began to take its toll. Parry’s rapidly declining health led to his resignation from

teaching and other obligations; his music, which had been falling out of favour, was briefly in vogue yet remained mostly overshadowed by that of Elgar; Stravinsky’s The rite of Spring had shaken the foundations of the establishment and set forth a bold new direction, far removed from the world of Parry’s music; and the dark clouds of the First World War had brought an end to the long cultural connection between England and Germany. This deeply affected Parry due to his affinity to ‘their music and their philosophers and authors of former times’ and he struggled to ‘believe it possible that the nation at large could be imbued with the teaching of a few advocates of mere brutal violence and material aggression’.

It was at this low point, in 1916, that Parry’s enduring masterpiece was born. When the initial optimism of the British public started to wane as the reality of the horrific war set in, there was an impetus to lift the spirits of the people.

Many of Parry’s promising students were killed on the battlefields of Europe. He was moved to compose Jerusalem, which was a setting of words by the early 19th century poet William Blake. The work was an instant success and it was taken up by the Suffragettes in the following year with the composer’s enthusiastic support.

The song achieved greater prominence through Elgar’s orchestration in 1922 for the Leeds Festival. Often regarded as England’s unofficial national anthem, Jerusalem has stood the test of time, appearing everywhere in Britain from schools to sporting events, and being reinterpreted by songwriter and activist Billy Bragg and rock guitarist Jeff Beck.

Parry died on 7 October 1918, a little over a month before the end of the war. Jerusalem’s unwavering popularity for 102 years has eclipsed his other achievements but, in his centenary year, efforts are being made to reassess and revive interest in this onceprominent figure of English musical life.

Hubert Parry’s music will be featured in Sunday Special on the 100th anniversary of his death on 7 October at 3pm.

THE ‘HANNIBAL OF THE OCTAVES’ MELISSA EVANS LOOKS AT A LEGENDARY PIANO VIRTUOSO For a while, the Bohemian pianist and composer Alexander Dreyschock set the world on fire. He came storming out of Bohemia and proceeded to dazzle audiences with his technical prowess.

In 1839, the Revue et gazette musicale announced his imminent arrival in Paris, assuring the public that he would prove a dangerous rival for Liszt.

Born in 1818, Dreyschock began his career as a child prodigy at the age of eight. At 15 he moved to Prague to study with Václav Tomásek, and at 20 he began exciting audiences with his virtuosic technique. It wasn’t long before Europe started talking of the new trinity, of which ‘Liszt was the father, Thalberg Alexander Dreyschock the son and Dreyschock the holy ghost’. was also named Court Pianist of the Tsar.

Dreyschock also achieved fame in the The Russian climate did not agree with his academic world. In 1862 he was appointed delicate health and after six years he retired

He long since been forgotten or lost. In a program

commemorating the 200th anniversary of his birth we feature his Rondo brillant and Piano concerto in D minor. The concerto’s first movement showcases his trademark technical skills, including impressive thirds, sixths and octaves. The slower tempo of the second movement contrasts with the intense allegro vivace of the final movement, which shifts between major and minor keys, and between theatrical and mellowed themes.

Dreyschock was well known for his compositions for the left hand alone, and his most famous stunt was to play the lefthand arpeggios of Chopin’s Revolutionary étude in octaves, and in correct tempo!

Mendelssohn called him the ‘Hannibal of the octaves’ and English composer Johann Baptist Cramer said, “The man has no left hand! They are both right hands!”

Dreyschock’s faultless piano technique was legendary and he vied with Liszt as one of the most important, most celebrated and most gifted piano virtuosos of his day. We pay tribute to Dreyschock on 16 October at 1pm.

PIONEERING CHORAL CONDUCTOR PAMELA NEWLING REVEALS A DEDICATED LIFE What do a Swedish choral conductor and an American pop singer have in common?

The Polar Music Prize. This Swedish International Award, is awarded each year to one classical musician and one contemporary musician. In 1997 the prize was awarded to Eric Gustaf Ericson for a lifetime’s devotion to choral music. The contemporary award that year went to American singer-songwriter, Bruce Springsteen.

Ericson’s career included posts as conductor and musical director of the Swedish Radio Choir, the men’s choir Sons of Orpheus and cantor of St Jacob’s Church in Stockholm. In 1979 he became professor of choral conducting at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.

Ericson was renowned for his innovative teaching methods. In an obituary in Gramophone Andrew Mellor referred to Ericson’s conducting technique being spare and focused in the extreme. “Directing with the dip of a finger or the shift of an eyebrow, his level of control, combined with physical stillness could be staggering.” He strove to achieve a purity of sound through intense work on tonal blend and vowel control.

Eric Ericson, whose centenary of birth we celebrate on 26 October 2018, devoted his life to choral conducting. The citation for the Polar Music Prize was for ‘pioneering achievements as a conductor, teacher, artistic originator and inspirer in Swedish and international choral music’.

He joined the Gotland Cathedral boys’ choir as a young boy and by 12 was leading a children’s choir. He graduated from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm in 1943 and continued his studies abroad in Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States.

While still a student, in 1945 he founded the Stockholm Chamber Choir, which was later renamed the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir.

He was awarded honorary doctorates from Uppsala University, and from Alberta University in Canada, and was a member of the Royal Academy of Music and Honorary President of the International Federation of Choral Music.

He was sought after internationally as a guest conductor, including by the Netherlands Chamber Choir, Groupe Vocal de France, BBC Singers and Vienna State Opera Choir.

Eric Ericson died in February 2013. His legacy lives on, particularly in Sweden, where per-capita participation in choral singing is higher than in almost any other country.

Choral music conducted by Eric Ericson can be heard at 2pm on 26 October.

SALOME IN MUSIC JAMES NIGHTINGALE EXPLORES HORROR AND INNOCENCE The biblical story of Salome has fascinated throughout the ages.

The legend of the young woman who performs the Dance of the seven veils and then demands the head of John the Baptist on a plate is one that provokes strong emotion and horror. However, there are also some sympathetic portrayals of the wilful teenager. In a Sunday Special we’ll explore music that depicts the horror story of the murder of John the Baptist as well as works that reflect on misguided youthful innocence.

The late 19th century saw a flourishing interest in oriental legend and historical drama. This Salome and Herod Antipas brought Salome’s story alive in art, literature and music. Perhaps the most literary responses to Salome: Gustave famous example is Oscar Wilde’s play Flaubert’s novella Hérodias and Stéphane (written in French) and the Richard Strauss Mallarmé’s unfinished poem, Hérodïade. opera that is based upon it. However, there Flaubert’s take on the story puts great are several other musical portrayals of note. emphasis upon Herod Antipas’ political quandary: how to balance the forces that There are very few primary sources that seek to lionise John the Baptist and those that describe Salome as a real person. Josephus’ want to put an end to him, especially his wife book, Jewish Antiquities, lists Salome as the Herodias. It was Flaubert’s novella that was the daughter of Herodias and Herod Antipas, while source for Jules Massenet’s opera Hérodïade. in the New Testament, Salome is only referred to as the daughter of Herodias. Salome’s Mallarmé’s Hérodïade is an incomplete history is clouded by the fact that Herodias was masterpiece of symbolist poetry. The previously married and divorced from Herod protagonist of the poem may be Herodias Antipas’ brother, Herod II. A lack of concrete or her daughter, Salome, and either could detail has led to the spread of innuendo, be construed as a proxy for Mallarmé especially as regards Herod Antipas’ supposed himself. This poem was the subject in 1944 unsavoury infatuation with his stepdaughter. of Paul Hindemith’s ballet, Hérodïade: Ballet, orchestral recitation after Mallarmé.

Premiering in 1896, Wilde’s Salome was a Hindemith’s ballet blends poetic ideas, scandalous drama that culminated in Salome lyrical expression and music without the kissing the lips of the severed head of John use of song. The instrumental lines of the the Baptist. Richard Strauss’ opera premiered work weave the melodies the words would in 1906 and it, too, was a scandalous success. make. It is a mesmerising 20 minutes of Alongside the perverse protagonists, the music itself was seen as dangerous and modern.

music that is more than just a curiosity.

Mallarmé’s poem and Hindemith’s ballet evoke the innocence of youth and the confusion of adolescence, a picture of Salome not unusual in literature and visual art. Salome, the misguided innocent, is also present in Brahms’ song of 1877, Salome, op 69 no 8, a setting of a poem by Gottfried Keller.

This beautiful song tells of love given that then turns to obsession and vengeance.

A more contemporary interpretation of Salome comes from the pen of Terry Riley, whose Salome dances for peace of 1985-86 is a two-hour composition for string quartet. This work relates the reincarnation of the biblical Salome, her training as a sorceress and warrior, and her dancing, accompanied by Half-Wolf, a character based upon American Indian legend, on a quest for world peace. Salome dances for peace is the result of Riley’s idiosyncratic obsession with cultures and religions from around the globe.

The program concludes with Florent Schmitt’s ballet La tragédie de Salomé, op 50. Composed in 1907, Schmitt’s ballet illustrated a poem by Robert d’Humières.

The Tragédie clearly sought to capitalise upon the public’s fascination with Salome, cultivated by Wilde and Strauss and the music itself owes a debt to Stravinsky’s ballet, The firebird. It may seem like hubris to attempt such a work immediately following the premiere of Strauss’ opera, but Schmitt’s Tragédie has its own style and attraction.

In musical art, the story of Salome illustrates both a misguided innocent and obsession turned to vengeance.

Please join us for Salome in Music in Sunday Special at 3pm on 21 October.

Two years later, in 1908, Wilde’s play received its premiere in Russia. The incidental music was written by an entirely different kind of composer, the conservative Alexander Glazunov.

Glazunov is remembered for denouncing Strauss as an ‘infamous scriboilleur’, but Glazunov’s Introduction and dance of Salome, op 90 gives us a sense of a man with a ‘tin ear’ to the direction of musical fashion.

Another composer to write incidental music to Wilde’s Salome was Constant Lambert whose Incidental music to Salome accompanied the first production of Salome in English in 1931.

Predating Wilde’s play are two other notable

SOUNDS I’ THE AIR’ PAUL COOKE INVESTIGATES A POET’S MUSICAL LEGACY According to one source, more of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poetry has been set to music than that of any poet except Shakespeare; according to another, his poetry was set to music on hundreds of occasions in the 19th century. These compositions were short pieces to be played at home or in the salon, but increasingly works based on or inspired by Shelley were to be found in concert halls.

What accounts for Shelley’s popularity with composers?

Shelley himself was fond of opera: introduced to Don Giovanni in 1817, Mozart became his favourite, and he regularly attended opera performances at La Scala Milan and in Turin, Naples and Pisa.

This love of music could well have informed the musicality of his work. Kathleen Raine, herself a poet, has written that ‘Shelley’s work is for the ear, and comes as near to music Percy Bysshe Shelley as poetry ever may, not only in its euphony but by that miraculous evocation the move towards longer compositions with of deep understanding which we receive larger forces. Ottorino Respighi’s Il tramonto from the greatest music’. She compares (The sunset) of 1914 is regarded as one of the fluency of his poetry to the music of his finest vocal compositions. Despite its Mozart and Schubert who, like Shelley, died subject matter of unrequited love, this work young but whose work was regarded as is not a tour de force of Late Romanticism, ‘pure’ rather than immature. Similarly, we but displays influences as disparate as find carefully chosen musical imagery in his Monteverdi and Debussy’s Pelléas et poetry, such as the Aeolian harp, or lyre, to Mélisande. The string quartet instrumentation be found in Alastor and Ode to the west wind. lends it an intimate quality and melancholic atmosphere, and the mezzo-soprano It is easy to appreciate Shelley’s poetry Magdalena Kozená has noted that ‘what (concerned with youth and inspiration and matters is not the message, but the multiplicity the pursuit of perfection) inspiring English- of feelings and moods that these words speaking composers: the translation evoke in the music and in our interpretation’. in the 1890s of his complete works by Konstantin Bal’mont enabled Russians such When Nikolai Myaskovsky’s symphonic poem as Rachmaninov, Sergei Taneyev, Boris Alastor premiered in Moscow, it was dedicated Lyatoshynsky and Anton Arensky to do so, to his friend Prokofiev, who praised it in these too. Arensky’s Recollection suite (composed terms: “It ... is more distinctive and beautiful in about 1905) sets, for voice and piano, To than anything else he has written. I am very Jane: the recollection, one of a number of happy that such a serious and interesting work poems addressed to a woman with whom is dedicated to me.” Shelley’s lengthy poem Shelley was infatuated. Arensky, a composer recounts the life of a poet whose search for influenced by Tchaikovsky, creates with flowing, melodious music an atmosphere fulfilment ends in solitude and death, and its of regret and longing that reflects Shelley’s sense of despair appealed to the composer’s evocation of commingled pain and joy melancholy nature. It perhaps also reflected through the imagery of forest, ocean and sky. uncertain times in Russia generally, and in particular the Lena Goldfields massacre of Two works of the early 20th century suggest 1912, where about 300 striking miners were

shot dead or wounded. The work doesn’t have a specific programmatic content, but it conveys Alastor’s search in dark, bleak but dramatic orchestration.

Samuel Barber’s Music for a scene from Shelley (1933) seems to be even less connected to its source material. It is inspired by lines from the verse play Prometheus unbound. “Hearest thou not sounds i’ the air which speak the love / Of all articulate beings? Feelest thou not / The inanimate winds enamoured of thee? List!” Barber indicated that it was incidental music and had nothing to do with the figure of Prometheus. Like Respighi and Myaskovsky, Barber balances the inherent romanticism of the material with an awareness of the contemporary world: along with a soaring melody and an exultant climax, there are muted instrumentation, chromaticism and rhythmic uncertainty.

Hans Werner Henze’s Ode to the west wind (1953) is a cello concerto inspired by Shelley’s poem of the same name. Given Henze’s political engagement, it is not surprising that he would gravitate to this poem which, while being about personal depression and the desire to be reinspired and reanimated, was also informed by themes of political change, revolution and the role of the poet. It was inspired by the Peterloo Massacre, which took place in 1819 in Manchester, with cavalry charging a crowd of 60,000 demanding reform of parliamentary representation. The solo cello reflects the natural imagery of the poem; the orchestra, though large, is often deployed a few instruments at a time, so that passages of delicate beauty are occasionally interrupted by arresting outbursts.

Shelley did not gain a widespread following during his lifetime and, after his premature death, it was initially left to his widow Mary to edit and promote his work. Mer de glace by the Australian composer Richard Meale, premiered in 1991, juxtaposes events in the lives of Byron and the Shelleys with ideas from Mary’s novel Frankenstein. Appropriately, it investigates the theme of creation, and celebrates the Romantic spirit synonymous with Shelley.

We celebrate the poetry of Shelley in The Word Transformed at 8pm on Saturday 6 October.

GREAT SACRED CHORAL WORKS ELAINE SIVERSEN DELVES INTO THEIR GENESIS The Oratorio as Drama Popular church services to hold the attention of the youth are not new. In Rome in 1566 a priest, later St Philip Neri, presented popular plays on sacred subjects, interspersing his sermon between acts of the plays. They were held in an oratory, thus giving rise to the name, oratorio. By 1600, in the same church, the oratorio had developed into an entire musical performance and preceded the first performance of an opera by about ten months.

Like the opera, the oratorio began in Italy but its ancestors, the Mysteries, Miracle Plays and Moralities, were to be found throughout Europe during the preceding centuries.

In the 17th century, and sometimes in the 18th, oratorios had action, scenery and costuming.

At various times, large non-religious choral works with soloists and orchestra have been called oratorios on the basis of having these features. Some later religious oratorios have also been staged in operatic form. These include The childhood of Christ by Berlioz, St Elizabeth by Liszt and Mendelssohn’s Elijah.

The first oratorios by Emilio di Cavalieri were mystery plays set to music with costuming and scenery, an orchestra and some dances to complete the performance. The first major composer of oratorios was Giacomo Carissimi, about the middle of the 17th century, later followed by Alessandro Scarlatti. Heinrich Schütz, credited with introducing the genre to Germany, was a master of the new recitative style. His 1623 oratorio The story of the happy and triumphant Resurrection of our only Redeemer and Saviour, Jesus had a narrator, called an Evangelist. However, the Christmas oratorio of Johann Sebastian Bach is not a true oratorio but rather a sequence of six cantatas intended for separate performance.

The great series of oratorios by Handel departed from the usual style, which was

J.S. Bach 8

mainly devotional with a thread of dramatic narrative. Handel’s are epic rather than devotional, being nearer to the early dramatic works of Carissimi, but appealing to the natural religious feeling of the English ‘Bible-loving and chorussinging nation’. The many later composers of oratorio included Beethoven, Spohr, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Pierné, Franck, Parry, Sullivan and Elgar.

Elgar’s The dream of Gerontius is one of the great choral works of more modern times and many believe it to be his masterpiece.

Elgar disliked the term oratorio being used to describe the work.

St Philip Neri Perhaps he considered it to be a ‘musical drama’? However, it conforms to the style of an oratorio and is always described as such. His setting of the poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman relates the journey of a pious man’s soul from his deathbed to his judgment before God and its final place in Purgatory. After the work’s premiere in 1900 at the Birmingham Music Festival, the Roman Catholic dogma in Newman’s poem caused difficulties in getting the work performed in Anglican Cathedrals so Elgar revised the text for later performances.

The Mass as Concert Since the 19th century Bach’s Mass in B minor, BWV232 has been widely hailed as one of the greatest compositions in musical history standing alongside his St Matthew and St John Passions as one of his major contributions to the music of Christian worship.

Yet these sacred works are too monumental to be performed in the usual church service and are the province of the concert hall.

The genesis of the Bach Mass was as the Kyrie and Gloria, the only parts of the Latin rite retained by the Lutheran church.

Bach adapted much music from his earlier works and submitted his settings of these two parts to the Royal Court of Saxony in Dresden in 1733 when he was seeking an official position. He was unsuccessful at that time but three

years later he received the appointment of court composer to the Elector, Augustus III. Another 16 years passed before Bach completed the setting of the whole Mass in the year before his death and it was not performed in his lifetime. His son, Carl Philipp Emanuel, archived the work and its first documented performance was in 1859. One theory promulgated for Bach’s completion of the work in his latter years was his interest in ‘encyclopaedic’ projects such as The art of the fugue where he was able to display a wide range of styles. He may have had a desire to preserve some of his best vocal music in a format with wider potential future use than in the church cantatas where much of this music originated. The Mass, however, is not all self-borrowing: it has much original music.

Italian musicologist Alberto Basso said: “The Mass in B minor is the consecration of a whole life: started in 1733 for ‘diplomatic’ reasons, it was finished in the very last years of Bach’s life, when he had already gone blind. This monumental work is a synthesis of every stylistic and technical contribution the Cantor of Leipzig made to music. It is also the most astounding spiritual encounter.”

David Garrett writes about the ‘virtuosic solo arias with brilliant parts for solo instruments’ and how the text is illustrated by this and the ‘powerful and expressive choruses’. He says: “This Mass transcends Christian divisions.”

In October we’ll be presenting two concerts

by Sydney Philharmonia: Elgar’s oratorio The dream of Gerontius on Saturday 13 at 3pm and Bach’s B minor Mass on Saturday 27 at 3pm.

A

German composer featured in today’s Concert Hall, Sophie Menter, was considered to be one of the greatest piano virtuosos of her time, acclaimed for her interpretation of Liszt’s music. She was called ‘Liszt’s incarnation’ because of her robust and electrifying piano style. After studies with Carl Tausig and Hans von Bülow, Sophie became Liszt’s favourite female student. He described her as his ‘only piano daughter’ and particularly admired her ‘singing hand’.

Between 1872 and 1886 she was married to another famous musician, the cellist and composer David Popper.

During this time she was also Professor of Piano at St Petersburg Conservatory but left there in 1886 to continue her concert career. Her compositional style was brilliant but she referred to it as ‘miserable’.

T

he Sonata in E minor for two pianos, eight hands was composed

by Bedrich Smetana for his piano students. Previously he had been teaching privately and then toured as a piano soloist which didn’t satisfy him.

He decided to set up his own piano music school in Prague. This was very successful and the students’ concerts were greatly admired. For these, Smetana arranged famous orchestral scores for two or four pianos in order to involve the greatest possible number of students. He also composed original works for multiple pianists.

f you think that a Boccherini quintet seems familiar it’s because he arranged his 12 piano quintets for string quintet (with two violas) and most for guitar quintet. Like many composers, he probably thought why should he waste a good melody on just one work. The quintets were composed late in his life but they are the finest achievements of his latter years. They are very individual with some odd features, even eccentric according to some critics, but this is probably due to his isolation in Spain from the European mainstream.

A

symphony by the renowned Estonian composer Arvo Pärt has a connection to Canberra and Sydney yet is subtitled Los Angeles.

His Fourth Symphony written in 2008, 37 years after this Third Symphony, is a joint commission from the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, the Canberra International Music Festival and Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Los Angeles refers to ‘the angels’ as well as to the Californian city. At the time of the commission, ​Pärt was composing a choral piece on a Russian Orthodox prayer to a guardian angel. He decided to use this as the basis of the symphony. Pärt wrote: “The tragic tone of the symphony is not a lament … but a bow to the great power of the human spirit and human dignity.”

PROLIFIC BUT RARELY HEARD COMPOSER REBECCA ZHONG DISCOVERS MELODIC ELEGANCE child (he had been afflicted by a debilitating hip disease that resulted in his dependence on crutches for most of his life), Lecocq developed an appreciation for music and a prodigious ability to play the flageolet. In 1850, he entered the Paris Conservatoire, initially studying under François Bazin, then with Fromental Halévy.

with Georges Bizet, he won a competition organised by Jacques Offenbach to set the libretto of an operetta entitled Le Docteur Miracle. While Bizet’s score was said to have ‘musicianly style, with delicate instrumentation and clever orchestral colouring’, Lecocq’s was ‘noted for its bright melodies’.

His first success came in 1857 when,

Research will likely find Lecocq defined in relation to other composers as Offenbach’s natural successor, Bizet’s one-time rival and a close friend of Saint-Saëns. Yet, although Lecocq is unlikely to be considered a musical pioneer, it would be unjust to overlook his gift for creating brilliant melodies and rich orchestrations, no better exemplified than in his most enduring work, La fille de Madame Angot.

These ‘bright melodies’ never waned in Lecocq’s writing as he continued on the path of operettas and opéras bouffes. Ultimately, he wrote more than 50 operettas and 100 songs. His works Fleur-de-thé (1868) and Les cent vierges (1872) received praise, the latter being described as ‘pouring forth the broadest and sweetest stream of melody allied with strong dramatic power’. However, nothing could compare to the success of La fille de Madame Angot, which ran for more than 200 nights in Brussels and 400 in Paris, and catapulted Lecocq to international acclaim.

Lecocq’s early life had all the typical makings of a French Romantic composer. He was born in Paris in 1832 to a poor family. A quiet, fragile

You can hear the music of Charles Lecocq in all its melodic elegance at 2.30pm on Monday 8 October.

While Charles Lecocq may be designated in history as simply Offenbach’s substitute, the integrity of Lecocq’s skilful compositions should not be questioned. Indeed, the lasting appeal of his comic opera La fille de Madame Angot was clearly stated in London’s Illustrated Review after Lecocq’s 42nd birthday: ‘the more the work is heard, the better it is liked’. The description is as apt today, on the 100th anniversary of his death, as it was when the article was published in 1874.

A YOUNG MUSICIAN’S YEAR IN RETROSPECT KATY ROGERS-DAVIES TALKS WITH JENNIFER HOU programs such as the Sydney Eisteddfod and the Fine Music Young Virtuoso Award. They demonstrate the significant impact that such opportunities can have on a young musician’s career.

Every year, Australia’s most promising young musicians come together to take part in the prestigious Sydney Eisteddfod.

From the pool of talented finalists, six are given the opportunity to compete for the Fine Music 102.5 Young Virtuoso Award.

Jennifer will spend the next couple of years finishing her combined Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Music degree, and she plans to continue pursuing her dream of performing as a solo pianist and chamber musician.

We’re looking forward to seeing what’s in store for Jennifer as she progresses in her journey as a musician, but in the meantime it’s almost time to welcome our 2018 finalists!

Jennifer Hou first entered the Sydney Eisteddfod at the age of ten and has been a regular participant ever since. In 2017, she competed in the Young Virtuoso Award State Final, playing the first movement of Ross Edwards’ Piano sonata and Chopin’s Ballade no 1, her outstanding performance of the Chopin winning her first place.

“I feel extremely thankful to have won the YVA State Finals, particularly when I was playing against so many other fine musicians,” says Jennifer. “It was incredibly beneficial and educational to experience a live-to-air performance and it has opened many doors for me over the past year!”

As a result of winning the 2017 competition, Jennifer has since been involved with other live-broadcast performances on Fine Music 102.5, and has made her symphonic debut.

Jennifer Hou The opportunity to work with a professional orchestra is a rare one: she delivered an inspiring performance of Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini with the North Sydney Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Steven Hillinger.

All of Jennifer’s achievements over the past year highlight the importance of

In the 2018 Young Virtuoso Award State Final you’ll hear stunning performances by tenor Joshua Oxley, soprano Anna Stephens, pianist Nicholas Kennedy, flautist Jessica Scott, and classical guitarists Jeffrey Cheah and Dennis Van Rooyen. The winner will then compete in the National Finals at 4MBS Classic FM in Brisbane at the end of November.

WHAT’S ON BEETHOVEN & HAYDN Australian Haydn Ensemble/Skye McIntosh Utzon Room, Sydney Opera House Monday 8 October, Friday 12 October, 7pm Bookings: 9250 7777 or sydneyoperahouse.com Tickets: $35-$85 Information: australianhaydn.com.au The Ensemble loves to unearth forgotten composers and rediscover unknown historical chamber versions of the classics.

In this Beethoven and Haydn program, we present two rare chamber versions: Beethoven’s Symphony no 1 and Haydn’s Symphony no 44, Trauer (Mourning).

The 18th century arrangement of Beethoven’s masterwork, penned by Masi and featuring string quintet, flute and double bass, was discovered by Ensemble members in the British Library’s rare music collection. Haydn’s wellknown Trauer Symphony was arranged for chamber ensemble by Dr Hague of Cambridge in the early 19th century. The symphony was so named because Haydn requested that the slow movement be played at his own funeral.

The program also includes a string sextet by Albrechtsberger and a virtuosic flute quartet by Ries, the lesser known contemporaries of Haydn and Beethoven.

Albrechtsberger was an early teacher of Beethoven, who introduced him to his student, colleague, and copyist Ferdinand Ries.

comes to effervescent life in the incredible Concert Hall at the Concourse. The Czech composer imbued this work with haunting and evocative recollections of his native music, coloured by shades of touching

tributes to the music he came to know in America. His expedition through such diverse musical cultures reveals countless variations of tone and style nimbly juxtaposed in an amazingly unified symphonic entity.

Dixon Advisory has been a proud sponsor of the Musica Viva Coffee Concerts since 2015.

MUSICAL FAMILIES ELAINE SIVERSEN DISCUSSES LITTLE-KNOWN COUSINS In earlier times it was the custom to name a first-born son after the paternal grandfather. So began the confusion between the baroque composer cousins, born in the Flanders town of Ghent, both named JeanBaptiste Loeillet. The confusion was resolved when the elder removed himself to London thus becoming Jean-Baptiste (or John) Loeillet of London.

He was a renowned performer of recorder, flute, oboe and harpsichord. He had a younger brother Jacques, an oboist who also composed. Their first cousin became known as Jean-Baptiste de Gant (Ghent) although he spent most of his life in France in the service of the Archbishop of Lyon, composing mostly for the recorder.

The Romberg name is famous for the composer of operetta.

However, there were two Bernhard Romberg German cousins bearing that name at the met Beethoven. Beethoven admired and turn of the 18th and 19th centuries who respected Bernhard as a musician, but wrote in a different style. Andreas Jakob Bernhard had difficulty understanding some and Bernhard Heinrich Romberg were born of Beethoven’s musical ideas and rejected seven months apart and each had a father Beethoven’s offer of a cello concerto for who was a musician.

The Bohemian composer Leopold Kozeluch is the best known of these featured cousins. However, it is not wellknown that he was originally named Jan Antonin as was his older cousin (by nine years) who was later known as Johann Anton. Johann had studied with Christoph Gluck and Florian Gassmann in Vienna, then taught his young cousin Leopold. Johann was concert master of a cathedral for 30 years and organist at a monastery. He mainly composed sacred music including 45 Masses, a Requiem and an oratorio, as well as Italian opera. Leopold, based in Vienna, held various royal appointments as Kapellmeister and composer. He excelled at the piano and achieved renown as a pianist, teacher and composer of instrumental and keyboard sonatas and concertos. His works also include opera, chamber and choral music.

The great composer Irving Berlin was born in Imperial Russia and moved to America when he was five. For his first composition he received just 33 cents for the rights. He would go on to be one of the most successful composers of popular song, penning some 1,500 songs and writing the scores for 20 Broadway musicals and 15 films. In this talk we will explore his long life (he lived to 101), his music, his legacy and his ‘rags to riches’ story.

JAZZ CD REVIEWS THIS WORLD OF DEW

Aaron Shragge, Ben Monder www.humanresourcerecords.com HHHH He’s part of a lineage established by avantgarde trumpeters such as Scott Tinkler, Phil Slater, Verneri Pohjola and Susana Santos Silva. Now Aaron Shragge is reshaping and broadening the scope of jazz trumpet with a unique instrument he calls the ‘dragon mouth’ trumpet. The scholar of Hindustani music has released his second duo offering with NYC-based guitarist Ben Monder. They bring their collective sound back to first gear in a way that mesmerises.

The raga in this case, is colouring the timbral qualities of the music, like an ice-blue dye

slowly transforming a linen cloth. Shragge especially uses the dragon trumpet’s unique ability to bend a note cleanly without shifting the timbre, while Ben Monder’s guitar provides a lineal, contrasting undercurrent.

Sometimes duos are awkward but neither of these players ever sound like they’re posturing or simply co-existing. Rather, it’s almost an intuitive but subconscious musical understanding, like The Necks.

The other instrument Shragge exploits to evocative heights is the Japanese shakuhachi. You can almost see the exhaling fog from this instrument against the cold night air. Yes, this is a concept album: a musical reflection on the poet Kobayashi Issa’s writing on the loss of his daughter. The music can be bleak as in By rain and mud, or treacherous Tony Bennett has been friends with Diana Krall for over 20 years. They toured together in 2000 and recorded duets for two of Bennett’s albums, Duets and Playin’ with my Friends.

Now, at the ripe old age of 92, Bennett has released their first full album project together. It was released in time for the 120th anniversary of George Gershwin’s birthday on 26 September this year and was recorded with the Grammy Award–winning Bill Charlap Trio with Bill Charlap on piano, Peter Washington on bass and Kenny Washington on drums.

The stunning result is a subtle, sophisticated and beautifully rendered love letter to George and Ira Gershwin’s music and their status as the definitive songwriters of American popular standards. It is a masterclass in vocal delivery

like watching A tiny boat in rough waters from afar; but Stink worm is peculiar and uncomfortable. The highlight for me is Roll the dice where Shragge’s rising or falling arpeggios characterise the outcome of chancing your luck.

Frank Presley and phrasing and the command that Bennett and Krall display of the material in both their duets and solo tracks make it appear effortless, belying the honed skill of the vocalists. The duet tracks include Love is here to stay, S’wonderful, They can’t take that away from me and Fascinating rhythm. Fascinating rhythm was Tony Bennett’s first recording, made under his former stage name, Joe Bari, which he revisits as a duet with Krall for this project.

Prior to this, two of the duet tracks were never recorded by either artist during their careers: My one and only and I’ve got a crush on you.

This recording is all class and professionalism, something the listener would expect from two of the most successful jazz vocalists of their time.

reflecting important themes found in Peruvian culture including family, hope, resilience and the celebration of life. This is an album that straddles jazz and Afro-Peruvian beat in an elegant ‘push and pull’ that sometimes edges close to the former, sometimes wanders closer to the latter, and often sits joyfully in the middle.

The hybrid tone of the band is hugely important to the mix, with the Afro-Peruvian beat of Susnjar’s drumming balanced by the more classical jazz texture of Harry Mitchell’s piano, Jeremy Thomson’s guitar licks and the horns of Ricki Mallet (trumpet) and Luke Minness (saxophone).

Susnjar is the unequivocal star of Spark, wallowing in the wonderful freedom of rhythmic expression. His unique drumming style rarely resorts to repetition as it alternately responds to and drives changes in the music. The result is a percussive masterclass. What saves

Spark from being an album uniquely for drum nerds is Susnjar’s songwriting skills, which make the complex sound effortless, creating something intricate and expansive, but never contrived or academic. Rarely has percussive innovation sounded this downright satisfying.

A MAN AND HIS MUSIC KEVIN JONES SHARES THE PASSION OF RICHARD ‘DICK’ HUGHES the moon, What a little moonlight can do and Miss Brown to you.

I remember the mid-1950s when first Bill Haley and the Comets, with their recording of Rock around the clock followed by the film of the same name, and then Elvis Presley, with Heartbreak Hotel, swept all other styles of music aside as the tsunami of rock ’n’ roll took over the airwaves. However, despite its popularity among teenagers, I had nothing but contempt for rock with its emphasis on electric guitars and teenage ‘stars’ masquerading as singers. I had been captivated by the sounds of jazz and the clarinet, an instrument which dominated the Swing Era through the artistry of Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw.

Despite the rise of rock it was possible to hear swing music on commercial radio; amazing when jazz’s most popular era had ended in 1946, foundering on the reefs of the recession after World Dick Hughes War II, and the rise of bebop pioneered by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. Hearing Goodman’s classic 1935 recordings of King Porter stomp and Tommy Dorsey’s Song of India, both with superb solos by the immortal Bunny Berigan, was a revelation. I wonder if he ever had a more devoted follower. I even had a suit made in Berigan’s style taken from the coloured cover of an RCA Victor 45rpm recording which included his theme I can’t get started.

My oracle on this musical journey was a Sydney journalist and jazz musician whose articles not only increased my knowledge of jazz but whose reviews influenced which discs I would add to my record collection. That writer was Dick Hughes.

The RCA album Jazz for People Who Hate Jazz contained, besides Goodman, Shaw and Tommy Dorsey, first-class recordings by the big bands of Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Charlie Barnet and small group sessions by Lionel Hampton, Fats Waller and Wingy Manone. Then came A String of Swinging Pearls with Dick writing about the gin-fuelled session with Bunny, Tommy, Fats, drummer George Wettling and guitarist Dick McDonough. Originally released as A

Jam Session at Victor, it produced classic versions of Honeysuckle Rose and Blues with Berigan’s trumpet dominating. Although the album also included a wild Limehouse blues featuring Leon ‘Chu’ Berry with Wingy Manone as well as Bud Freeman’s The eel with his Summa Cum Laude Orchestra, Berigan’s trumpet is especially dominating on the 1939 Metronome All Stars recording of Blue Lou. For both Dick and me Goodman remained the pinnacle. So, it came as no surprise when Dick nominated Goodman’s 1940 recording of Benny Rides Again as one of his ‘Desert Island Discs’. This was arranger and composer Eddie Sauter’s masterpiece, with Goodman’s complete mastery of his instrument showcased to perfection above the shifting rhythms of Harry Jaeger’s drumming.

Cootie Williams’ muted solo is an added bonus.

It was said that the young Billie Holiday could tell a story in a song but as far as I am concerned she could do it in one note. This was the singer I heard on those early records especially in 1935 under the leadership of pianist Teddy Wilson when, with Goodman, Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, John Trueheart, John Kirby and Cozy Cole, she sang I wished on

In 1936, again under Wilson’s leadership with Goodman, Jonah Jones, Ben Webster, Allan Reuss, John Kirby and Cozy Cole, she sang Pennies from Heaven, That’s life I guess and I can’t give you anything but love. However, the best was yet to come. In 1937 Goodman was at his inspiring best with Billie Holiday as he joined sidemen from Count Basie’s Orchestra (Buck Clayton, Freddie Green, Walter Page and Jo Jones) led by the legendary Lester Young.

The young Holiday’s tone and Armstrong-influenced phrasing made even the tenderest love song sound caustic and thankless with a personal bitterness towards the world which would lead her down the tragic path to narcotics. Both Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday were peerless artists. It’s interesting to contrast their voices: Ella’s had the consistency of honey, light and swinging; Billie’s the aroma of vinegar. Neither was a blues singer but Billie’s Fine and mellow ranks with her greatest recordings and Ella’s Gulf Coast blues and Ella hums the blues are among her very best. Both were a class above the swing band singers.

Ella would expand musically through the bop craze with her wordless vocalese which broadened her range by two octaves. In 1956 her popularity increased after a series of Great American Songbook albums with arranger Buddy Bregman showcasing the music of Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, and Jerome Kern. The Cole Porter album was the first to sell a million copies!

Frank Sinatra once said that he kissed Billie Holiday as she deserved to be kissed. The taste would have been interesting: probably a mixture of bourbon, gardenias and cigarette smoke. These days I listen more to this Holiday: the husky booze-soaked voice personified in Embraceable you recorded in 1957 with Ben Webster who had been on the Goodman session 22 years earlier. Here every broken note showed how much she had lived, loved and more importantly survived.

The first of the series, Dick Hughes: A Man and his Music will be broadcast in After Hours Jazz at 10pm on Sunday 7 October.

CLASSICAL CD REVIEWS OLD AND YU

The clarinet music of Julian Yu, Vol. 2 Robert Schubert, Akemi Schubert and others Move MD 3424 HHHH The second volume of chamber music with clarinet by the Chinese-Australian composer, Julian Yu, is a decidedly postmodern collection, bursting at the seams with pastiche, variation and charm. These characteristics are conveyed with clarity and ease by the Melbourne clarinettist Robert Schubert, pianist Akemi Schubert and several excellent string players. Three of the works are for clarinet with string quartet, while the last is a trio for clarinet, cello and piano.

The opening work, the Chinese folksong suite,

ERNEST BLOCH VIOLA AND PIANO

Barbara Hornung, viola; Danaë Killian, piano Move MCD 578 HHH½

reflects Yu’s Chinese heritage in its choice of folksong as its starting point. Symphony from the Old World (Dvorák in China) is a reworking of themes from the New World Symphony, again full of charm and wit, eschewing the grandeur of Dvorák’s original.

The final work, Mozartiana for a trio of clarinet, cello and piano, combines both Eastern and Western melodies, Chinese folksong paired with famous melodies by Mozart. The title of the final movement, Quodlibet, gives the clue to the whole work, referencing the Renaissance technique of combining several different tunes for humorous effect: in this case, melodies from Mozart’s most famous pieces and two Chinese songs.

No 4 and No 11, The year 1905 Boston SO/Andris Nelsons DG 483 5220 HHHHH

The Boston Symphony Orchestra’s latest live Shostakovich offering, Symphonies nos 4 and 11, is a showpiece of charismatic brilliance combined with faultless execution. The coupling of a wild, demonic and, at times, bitter and pessimistic work with a cinematic foray into the depths of the Russian soul provides the listener with a multitude of opportunities to experience the length and breadth of Shostakovich’s symphonic language.

Andris Nelsons is acutely aware of the importance of rhythmic drive and force, especially in his reading of the Fourth 46

James Nightingale

Despite the openly frivolous character of the works, they are not easy to interpret Ernest Bloch is a difficult composer to categorise. He belonged to no school and the individuality of his work owes much to his Jewish heritage on the one hand, and his Swiss upbringing on the other. Cultural influences were compounded by his move in 1916 to the USA, where he spent most of the rest of his life.

The present recording by Australians Barbara Hornung and Danaë Killian brings together a few of his important works for the viola composed later in life, both with and without piano. The first two tracks Meditation and Processional are part of a set of five Jewish pieces, the others being the three movements of the Suite hébraïque which bookends the disc. Meditation is discreetly tinged with smoky passions, while Processional is more of an arioso. They’re followed by a series of ten piano

SHOSTAKOVICH SYMPHONIES

or technically simple. The performers use great skill to convey these works in a way that will bring a smile to every listener.

This is a recording for those who enjoy fine clarinet playing and ingenious musical wit.

Symphony. This is a dark and hypnotic venture in which Shostakovich prophetically saw his beloved Russia turning into a police state in the 1930s. The recurring percussion sequences, representing prisoners communicating with each other between cells, are terrifying. For a work that lay dormant for 25 years after its composition, it is now receiving the recognition as a cataclysmic voyage into the horrors of the 20th century.

The Symphony no 11, subtitled The year 1905, is an unabashed program symphony which combines both colour and lyricism together with a vivid account of the events in St Petersburg in 1905. Tempo choices are innovative and refreshing. The strings are particularly prevalent and Nelsons succeeds in drawing out the nuances presented in their writing from the cold eerie early morning setting to the

miniatures for children, called Enfantines, beautifully performed by Danaë Killian. Tender and reflective, each one represents a moment in childhood and were intended to assist the young pianist master a variety of techniques.

The Suite for solo viola was found unfinished on Bloch’s bedside table after his death in 1959. It’s a complex work consisting of four short connecting movements with a conclusion written by Barbara Hornung. The final work, Suite hébraïque draws on traditional Jewish sources, such as the sound of the shofar’s call; a march rhythm characterises Processional, the second movement, while its finale, Affirmation, opens and closes with a fullthroated theme over a dance-like, lilting rhythm, framing a sweet, graceful central section.

David Ogilvie battle itself and into prayerful in memoriam.

This is a tremendously satisfying performance of two perfectly sculpted symphonies and a must for the serious Shostakovich connoisseur.

MUSIC FOR THE SOUL ELIZABETH HILL TALKS TO CAMILLE MERCEP “I truly believe that all the arts, but especially music, are essential to everyone’s well-being. Music creates time and space for the soul to breathe.”

When Camille heard an advertisement for presenters for the other classical radio station, she didn’t give it much thought. However, the seed had been planted so that 11 years ago when she heard the call for volunteers at 2MBS-FM, she joined a group of people who are passionate about music. As a receptionist, she learned about the workings of the station, and it wasn’t long before she trained as a programmer and presenter.

When programming, she likes to randomly search the library and often discovers unknown works of familiar composers.

“It’s like the old pick’n’mix lollies. So much choice … so many delights and surprises.”

Camille has taught voice for many years, and has plans to write a book about the emotional journey through the voice. “It is one of the most amazing and powerful of instruments. It has the extraordinary ability to touch and release

remembering that she, too, has performed with some of those great singers and conductors.

Yet for her one of the big challenges of being a singer is not grand opera but being able to work in a small ensemble. Her ever-growing wish list also includes having the time to improve her piano playing so that she can play in a chamber group … and learning the cello!

Camille Mercep emotions that you might not even have known were there.” When she first began to study, she was drawn to the passion of opera, and when she broadcasts performances recorded with Opera Australia in Wednesday night’s At the Opera, she sometimes has to pinch herself,

Since working at Fine Music, Camille says that she ‘listens differently now’. When at a concert or when adjudicating she closes her eyes.

She now understands why, when she was auditioning, an adjudicator would be looking away, or have a bowed head. It wasn’t that she was performing badly; it was just that person’s way of listening. She feels privileged to have been involved with the Sydney Eisteddfod as both an adjudicator for classical singing and compere for the finals of other categories. She is also the compere for the semi-finals for IFAC Handa Australian Singing Competition and will be the anchor for the Fine Music Young Virtuoso Award State Finals live-to-air performances from the Founders’ Studio on 14 October.
