ARCTIC TO ANTIPODES NICKY GLUCH REFLECTS ON MUSIC AND THE LAND to understand the sentiment and as the music grows so we are taken with it. Though it is undoubtedly universal, Grieg was particularly inspired by the Norwegian landscape and melodies in writing this piece. As a composer, his music has almost become synonymous with Norway and one wonders if we can still find a beauty in Nationalism in today’s world.

Kraggerud provides a considered answer. “I think at Grieg’s time [much of] his music didn’t sound Norwegian at all but now we think it does. So things of value for a nation, which are treasured, are actually more often imported to a country or invented by an individual.

Nationalism, then, sometimes uses beauty in a good way, but not always. It is good to remind ourselves that most things we consider Norwegian were borrowed from outside our borders … even our songs and fairytales in most cases. Without all of these imports and impulses and people moving to Norway, our culture would not be as rich as it is.” So we are back to the wanderings of people in and throughout an unchanging land.

”

Nature and the environment course their way through the music

Kraggerud sets this idea in motion. “I like to develop ideas”, he says, “while walking in the city or in nature … Sometimes I can find inspiration there; but often the walking, itself, and change of scenery are equally important.”

Humans, thus, thirst for change. Our minds are stimulated by the body’s movement and our cerebral inspiration can come from the visceral. Inspiration is essential for a man who is a composer as well as an artistic director and violinist: Kraggerud flourishes in all three roles. In Australia he will give audiences a taste of his manifold capabilities and guide them through the music of a composer who knew to trust the simple and allowed his ideas to speak in ‘a natural, simplistic way’.

It is Grieg’s sense ‘of melodic beauty, his fairytale-like like musical storytelling and masterly harmonisations’ which so attracts Kraggerud to his music. The program thus begins with one of these stories. In folk style is the first of Grieg’s Two Nordic melodies.

The viola is given the melody and it sings its melancholy song to be answered by the cellos and double bass. One does not need words

Returning to Grieg, it is his Violin sonata no 3 which Kraggerud has chosen to perform.

Troubled by the lack of Norwegian works for violin and orchestra, Kraggerud set about orchestrating Grieg’s three sonatas. The result, at least for Australian audiences, will be a surprise although the thematic material is well known. Grieg sets off with a declamation; the violin is moody, purposeful. From this

Henning Kraggerud There, sits the globe of the world with the Arctic at one end and the Antipodes at the other.

Both inspire awe and wonder: the north’s cold purity and the ancient history of our home.

Down these lines of longitude runs music. For the settled, music grows from the land. For the itinerant, music is that which people take with them. For those of us who have never been, we have only the questions, what do things sound like in the Arctic air? How does music sound when it echoes in dust?

In July, the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) will present a concert of Edvard Grieg’s music. Interspersed will be a new piece by Ross Edwards and one by the violinist and director of the program, Henning Kraggerud. The idea is to join, through music, the sentiments of these two poles taking audiences on a journey, as the ACO has called the program, from the Arctic to Antipodes.

Nature and the environment course their way through the music as does the idea that it is geography which stays static and majestic as we, humans, flit and flutter around it.

”

However, is it always unchanging? Can we deny our effect on the land, the alteration we have caused, especially in our own country? The piece by Ross Edwards might answer these questions. Rob and Nancy Pallin, its commissioners, are managers of the Paddy Pallin Foundation. Their goal and purpose is to protect and enhance the natural environment of Australia and they have had a significant hand in saving native flora and fauna alike. One can only wonder what the piece they have commissioned will sound like. Titled Entwinings it is sure to draw on Edwards’ personal fascination with ecology and the Australian environment. It serves as the Antipodeal counterpoint but through it, like Grieg’s folk melodies, demonstrates the interconnectedness of us all.

emerges the sweetness of the second theme.

The violin is alternately earthly and divine, its instrumental voice shown off in its full range.

The second movement brings with it great delicacy, the opening almost like a lullaby.

When the minor sonority takes over, then, it is stirring. Folksiness is set to play in the third movement but in a way which is simultaneously recognisable and sophisticated. With all this interplay, it will be fascinating to see if Kraggerud can cement his arrangement as a new, great violin concerto.

To Kraggerud, the duty in ensuring a piece’s survival is in the hands of the performer.

His ethos for selecting pieces starts with listening. If his interest is sparked then he might go on to play it ‘to find more interest and develop a love’. As a commissioner, Kraggerud believes in being in dialogue with composers, encouraging them to write freedom into their scores for interpretation and future performances. As a composer, then, it can be assumed that Kraggerud reciprocates this, permitting his music, too, to be dynamic.

To Australia, Kraggerud will bring a new piece.

If it is the Topelius variations (which was premiered in Finland in May), then it will be another of Kraggerud’s oeuvre which takes influence from literature and the metaphysical.

Topelius, like Grieg, was interested in folklore and mythology. His writing is as Finnish as Grieg’s music is Norwegian. Such is life that it goes in cycles. Our antecedents took inspiration from the land and now we take inspiration from them in turn.

Kraggerud seems particularly fascinated by words and people. Asked to describe his nascence as a violinist, Kraggerud provides a long list of influences. From composers to performers, his choices seem linked by expressivity: those people who are able to convey something greater than music through their craft. Most recently, Kraggerud collaborated with famed Norwegian philosopher and author, Jostein Gaarder. In their cyclic work, Equinox, geography meets the quality of keys and light is brought into line with philosophic intention.

”

… the sound of music in the Arctic air … the sound of music whistling through our Australian trees

”

In our cyclic discussion, we have arrived back at Grieg and the ACO. The final piece in Arctic to Antipodes is Grieg’s wonderful String quartet no 1in G minor arranged for string orchestra by Richard Tognetti. On completing the Quartet’s

composition, Grieg wrote to a friend that the piece ‘… strives towards breadth, soaring flight and above all resonance for the instruments for which it is written’. Grieg achieves this resonance through his clever harmonic writing balancing passages of fluid movement with declamatory statements where everyone is playing together.

The first violin is given its chances to soar and the breadth is found in the tensions which are allowed to resolve. In the ACO’s thoughtful arrangement, all this is enhanced. The unity which they achieve between their parts means that, when they performed it in 2012, it was to rave reviews.

Tognetti and the ACO are reminders that we should never think of ourselves as small down here in the Antipodes. The ACO, like several notable Australian ensembles, has ensured that our line of musical longitude runs strong. Our connection to Europe is exemplified through such collaborations as this with Kraggerud and our unique individuality is demonstrated through the glorious music of Ross Edwards.

In the globe of the world, the Arctic may sit at one end and the Antipodes the other but music makes them seem so much closer. Sentiment, it seems, transcends language and transcends geography. In Grieg’s day, one of the greatest performers of his music (and friend, for want of a better word) was Australia’s own Percy Grainger. Grieg spoke of Grainger to a Danish newspaper: “There is one artist whose help I must not forget, Percy Grainger. He is a young man of genius, possessing a real artist’s soul.

Although born in Melbourne, Australia, he talks Norwegian and is full of enthusiasm for our land and our art. Such a man as we must love.”

A century later, we have come full circle. A Norwegian will now bring his countryman’s music to our shores. He shall speak to the orchestra in English although he need not, for music is far more universal. Music from our

land will share the stage with that of Norway so that there will be the sound of music in the Arctic air. There will be the sound of music whistling through our Australian trees. Come forth to hear it.

LIVE FROM THE JOAN ROGER DOYLE ON BROADCASTING LIVE-TO-AIR CONCERTS the stage. Thirdly, checking logistic arrangements: transport of people and equipment, access and parking on-site, ease of getting equipment into the venue and, of course, a ready supply of decent coffee!

Last year’s Live from The Joan concert at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith was a wonderful event and a great success for Fine Music and the music-loving public. Every seat had been reserved well before the concert; the artists were all fantastic; the audience was warm and enthusiastic; the presenters and the hard-working technical team made it run smoothly as it was broadcast live-to-air.

Live from The Joan 2016 evolved into a musical variety show rather than the customary single ensemble concert adding to the complexity. Steve-Marc McCulloch, as producer, organised the artists and Peter Bell the internet connectivity. Equipment setup took several hours and, of necessity, happened partly during rehearsals. Despite detailed preplanning, microphone numbers grew to meet artistic requirements, yet all was ready for the crossover to the OB (outside broadcast) on time. Over 18 microphones were deployed by a very large crew of volunteers.

Listeners to our pre-recorded and live-to-air concert broadcasts may find it interesting to gain an insight into the planning process and on-site setup which go to ensure major concert performances are enjoyable and rewarding to our listeners.

There are always many aspects which must be considered and resolved at the outset. Firstly, there is the scoping of the proposed show: to ensure that we have lined up the technical crew and the artists well in advance, accommodated their requirements and determined the order of performance. Secondly, identifying a suitable location for the crew to setup and operate the equipment: one which ideally includes some acoustic isolation from the main hall yet provides visual connection to

For a live broadcast, the availability of an exceptionally stable, high-speed internet connection is absolutely essential. Testing from the venue to the studio during the planning stage and, often again shortly before the day, must confirm suitability.

Besides establishing broadcast technical aspects, satisfying some artist requirements can be quite difficult because contemporary music and jazz often demand that elements of their performance be fed back to them via on-stage PA (called fold-back) in addition to that conveyed to the audience. The number of microphones required may grow enormously, and positioning them for best performance balance without overly obstructing audience sight lines, always takes time. With the audio mixing equipment set up off stage, microphones confirmed as working, sound feed to the house PA and the support crew intercommunications system all working, basic sound balances can be set during the rehearsal.

In 2016, back at Chandos Street, Maureen Meers introduced the OB. Audience atmosphere (as background sound) went to air and stage manager Cath McBride cued

Michael Morton-Evans, the first presenter. The first artists were alerted and cued for entrance.

That’s when engineer Jayson McBride’s carefully established settings during rehearsal, required adjustment as the performance began. The first item concluded with applause and a return to Michael for an interview.

Microphone positions were quickly reset and the piano relocated for the next ensemble.

During interval the crew cleared the stage and re-set microphone positions in readiness for the second half when presentation duties were shared by Annabelle Drumm and Lloyd Capps.

At the conclusion and cross-back to the studio, everything was disassembled and packed ready for transport back to Chandos Street by a rather tired crew. A live OB of this complexity requires far more equipment than is necessary for a studio broadcast. We sourced the equipment from the radio station and borrowed from volunteers. Several items were temporarily stripped from our recording Studio C taking it out of service for about two weeks.

The efforts of Jayson and Catharine McBride, Steve-Marc McCulloch, Peter Bell, Max Benyon, David James, Huub Van den Heuvel, Maria Gorelik, Nick Dunn, Brendan Gould and Alex Goldstein are acknowledged as they worked behind the scenes and occasionally on stage at the 2016 concert. Photos were taken

by Jeannie McInnes.

GIORDANO’S ONE HIT WONDER RANDOLPH MAGRI-OVEREND CHARTS ITS COURSE

Umberto Giordano’s long life of 81 years was punctuated with a lot of failed operas. He was born on 27 August 1867 and this month we celebrate his 150th anniversary with his one successful opera.

His first opera Marina brought him to the attention of the publisher Sonzogno who commissioned him to compose another opera but the resultant 1892 production of Mala vita turned out to be more attractive for its macabre values than its musical qualities.

In 1894 Regina Diaz proved another failure in Naples but two years later in 1896, Milan’s La Scala showcased his greatest success.

He had an exuberant if undistinguished gift of melody

”

”

That success was, of course, Andrea Chenier, based on a libretto by Italian Luigi Illica. Even at this stage the opera still had to overcome several hurdles before it was performed. The musical advisor at the publisher, Amintore Galli, pronounced it ‘unperformable’ but eventually changed his mind, persuaded perhaps by composer Pietro Mascagni (He had already tasted success with Cavelleria rusticana.), who intervened on Giordano’s behalf. To add to Giordano’s troubles, during the rehearsal period the tenor chosen to sing the title role, Alfonso Garulli, had second

thoughts and was replaced by Giuseppe Borgati. (He went on to sing the Wagnerian tenor roles at La Scala.) Chenier was an immediate success and Borgati had to repeat the opening tenor aria the Improviso.

character was sung by Geraldine Farrar in its opening New York performance. Even such illustrious company couldn’t salvage Giordano’s career. His last opera was Il re which was staged at La Scala in 1929. By then he was well-off, having married a wife with money, and could afford to live the rest of his life in a certain degree of comfort.

Immediately, Girodano’s opera was labelled as a verismo opera and likened to Cavelleria rusticana and Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci. Giacomo Puccini’s operas can also be likened to this form of realism although he had more in common with Wagner’s use of declamatory recitative separated only by a few wellcrafted arias!

Grove, the musician’s encyclopaedia, explains Giordano’s music thus: “He had an exuberant if undistinguished gift of melody and a strong feeling for dramatic effect, but his scores lacked solidity, and in his music the usual theatrical tricks for extorting applause too often takes the place of a sincere expression of emotion”.

Andrea Chenier was based on the life of a real French poet in the French Revolution who was sentenced to death for his anti-revolutionary sentiments. A substantial amount of the arias are based on his poems although his love interest, Maddalena, is fictional as is the final supreme act by Maddalena in replacing a condemned woman to face the guillotine hand in hand with her beloved.

Giordano, unfortunately, also has something else in common with his verismo colleagues.

All of their operas are, to one extent or another, ‘one hit wonders’. Mascagni’s follow-up operas L’amico Fritz, Iris and Lodoletta didn’t quite make the grade in popularity; Leocavallo’s La bohème suffered from coming up against Puccini’s opera of the same name and also, perhaps, because Rodolfo was sung by a baritone. While Giordano’s Fedora is occasionally staged in his country, the only thing which really survives is the aria for tenor Amor ti vieta which because of its brevity (1’42”) is often used as an encore at recitals.

Giordano went on to write endless operas but none of them achieved the success of Andrea Chenier. Perhaps he could have taken some encouragement in an opera he composed in 1915, Madame Sans-Gêne, whose main

Yet many illustrious opera singers have participated in Andrea Chenier: singers like Pavarotti, Tebaldi, Corelli, Milnes, Becchi, Gigli, Björling, Freni, Merrill and, of course, the master of all baritones, Tito Gobbi. In fact, Gobbi has an interesting story to tell about his attempts to sing the role of the prosecutor, Charles Gerard in wartime Sorrento. He initially refused to go because he’d heard that the Sorrento theatre had been destroyed. But he was assured that was not the case. To reach his destination he had to first catch a train from Rome to Naples and then to Sorrento. After a great struggle, Gobbi found his way to the station only to discover that, as usual during wartime, everybody and his dog had decided to travel on the same train. It took eight hours of discomfort to reach Naples and when they arrived it was in the middle of a ferocious air raid. Eventually when he reached Sorrento it was only to find that there was indeed no theatre left and no performance. He hadn’t drunk or eaten since leaving Rome. So, when he reached the station for the reverse journey, he bought a packet of five cigarettes which he chewed but all it gave him was a raging thirst and terrible hiccups!

Listen to Andrea Chenier, Umberto Giordano’s ‘one hit wonder’, in At the Opera on Wednesday 16 August at 8pm.

What’s On AUSTRALIAN HAYDN ENSEMBLE Skye McIntosh, Artistic Director 13 August, 2.30pm Utzon Room, Sydney Opera House Tickets: $35 - $80 Bookings and information: australianhaydn.com.au or ph. (02) 9250 7777 La Chasse (The Hunt) was a popular theme of the 18th century. Join the Australian Haydn Ensemble for this intimate chamber music program which intertwines quartets based on this fascination with music for the oboe, an instrument then often associated with the hunt.

Haydn’s String quartet, op 1 no 1, La Chasse was written as early as 1751. Its stunning Adagio is a vision of where Haydn would take this genre. Mozart’s String quartet, K370, also nicknamed ‘The Hunt’, written some 30 years later, is the fourth quartet in a set of six which he dedicated to the great master, ‘Papa’ Haydn.

In 1780 Mozart, visiting Munich, reconnected with the virtuoso oboe player Friedrich Ramm and composed for him an Oboe Quartet, taking the virtuosity of the instrument to new heights.

This program also features a beautiful and rarely heard Oboe Quartet by the largelyforgotten German composer Janitsch, who spent much of his life in Berlin.

The Sydney University Graduate Choir is delighted to present the three finalists in the Joan Carden Award for 2017. Established by the Sydney University Graduate Choir in 2004, this singing competition is designed to foster and showcase young professional singers. The winner recieves a cash prize of $6,000 and opportunity to perform as a soloist in one of the Sydney University Graduate Choir’s forthcoming concerts.

Another highlight of the concert will be a performance by the Sydney University Graduate Choir of the magnificent Mozart Requiem, a masterpiece of the classical era. Written during the final months of Mozart’s life, this work was created at the same time as his last two operas: La Clemenza di Tito and the much-loved Die Zauberflӧte. The Requiem is a deeply personal work which represents all that is profound in Mozart’s artistry. With its splendid choruses and eloquent solo parts, this work has become a cornerstone of classical vocal music.

A rich and colourful instrumental palette helps sustain a broad structure which is an offshoot of the 18th century serenade tradition and realised with unmistakable Schubertian inflections. In contrast, the rest of the program explores exquisite, smaller-scale structures with Roussel’s compact and enchanting Divertissement for winds and piano, as well as the impressionistic delights of English composer Madeline Dring’s Trio.

OUT OF THE SHADOWS

JOSEPH TOLTZ ON REDISCOVERING JEWISH MUSIC AND THEATRE of Georg Tintner. There will also be works

by Jewish refugees who found safe haven in Australia. Here are some of their stories.

Werner Baer, with the help of his first wife, escaped the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in December 1938 and the couple fled Berlin with their baby daughter Miriam to Singapore. In September 1940 they were imprisoned as enemy aliens and deported to Tatura, Victoria. Baer had a successful career as Assistant Director of Music for the ABC and continued as a professional pianist, organist, composer and choral conductor.

Werner Baer Many works of Jewish artists were thought to be lost while many have languished in obscurity: in private hands, forgotten in attics or placed in archives with no further thought to their existence as performance pieces. From the late 19th century up to recent times, displacement has affected the musical, theatrical and literary output of these Jewish artists. Their careers were irrevocably changed by the rise of far-right parties in Central Europe.

Out of the Shadows: Rediscovering Jewish Music and Theatre is the fourth international performance festival sponsored by Performing the Jewish Archive, a British Arts and Humanities Research Council project which brings rediscovered musical and theatrical works by Jewish refugee artists back to the listening public. The three-year project has involved 12 researchers from around the world rediscovering and presenting the culture of these displaced Jewish artists. Festivals have been held in Wisconsin, Yorkshire, the Czech Republic and the fifth will be in Cape Town.

Some highlights of the festival will be works

by Scandinavians Simon Parmet and Moses Pergament, Viennese refugee Wilhelm Grosz and Polish refugee Mieczesław Weinberg.

Two acerbic and delightful cabarets will be reconstructed: the first from depression-era Helsinki by Jac Weinstein; the second written in the Terezín Ghetto to the music of Jaroslav Ježek. Sydney Conservatorium composers will arrange and compose new works inspired by stories of refuge and flight and The Seven Deadly Sins by Kurt Weill and Bertold Brecht will be directed by Chryssy Tintner, daughter

Boas Bischofswerder fled with his family to the United Kingdom in 1935 where he became President of the Association of Cantors of Federated Synagogues. He was arrested as an enemy alien and deported to Hay, NSW (voluntarily accompanied by eldest son, Felix Werder).

George Dreyfus arrived as a child (Kindertransport) refugee in Melbourne in 1939 with his brother Richard. A bassoonist with the Victorian Symphony Orchestra, Dreyfus had completed compositional studies at the Vienna Academy of Music. His success in film composition enabled a career as one of Australia’s first freelance composers.

Marcel Lorber was pianist for Gertrude Bodenwieser’s dance troupe and a respected repetiteur in Vienna. In 1939 he arrived in Australia, remaining until 1947, when he toured Japan with two of the Bodenwieser dancers.

In Hiroshima, Lorber gave a performance of Schubert’s Die Winterreise with the singer (later conductor and broadcaster) Bernard Keeffe. The concert was performed to refugees and those injured by the nuclear bomb. After this tour, Lorber moved to the United Kingdom where he became a Japanese art dealer.

George Pikler began clarinet studies at the Budapest Conservatorium where he studied with Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály. In 1936, with his brothers Miklós and Robert, he left for a tour of Surabaya. In 1942, foreign nationals were interned in a Japanese labour camp on Java. Pikler migrated to Australia with his family in the 1950s where he worked on ABC radio on Sundays specialising in continental and light music. He also worked as a musical director, arranger and composer for many leading entertainers and recorded many Roma melodies.

Georg Tintner, known most famously as a world-class interpreter of Bruckner, was an

Austrian-Jewish refugee. In his youth he sang with the Vienna Boys Choir. He arrived safely in Auckland in 1940 but not before a brief stay in detention in Australia under accusations of being a German spy. He lived in Australia from 1954 to 1966 and finally settled in Canada.

Tintner’s quiet passion was for composing but sadly, he never received recognition for this during his lifetime.

Walter Würzburger was the son of a distinguished Synagogue organist in Frankfurt.

He trained in jazz with Mátyás Seiber before moving to Paris. From 1939 he worked as a saxophonist in Singapore and was then sent to Tatura (on the same boat as the Baer family).

After the war, Würzburger was naturalised and completed musical studies in Melbourne.

He moved to London to study clarinet and continued composition studies with Seiber. He founded the Kingston Philharmonia in 1974.

George Dreyfus This festival, Out of the Shadows, contains a rich, unique and interesting lineup of music and theatre pieces performed by outstanding performers including the Goldner String Quartet, SSO Fellows, Sydney Children’s Choir, VOX Philharmonia and others.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Violin Concerto was his last major work. He made several versions before he was satisfied. The final version, with full orchestral parts, was lost at sea but he was able to re-write it just in time for its premiere. The first performance in 1912 was at the Norfolk Conneticut Music Festival, the composer being represented by a portrait on the stage. Later in England, a small local performance was given in Croydon but Coleridge-Taylor died five weeks before its formal London premiere which was a great success.

After this, the work lapsed into oblivion for many years until its revival in 1980.

Johann Schobert died in Paris, along with his wife, one of their children, a maidservant and four acquaintances. In Death by Misadventure you’ll hear the cause of this tragedy as well as hearing some of Schobert’s compositions.

His life before going to Paris in 1760-61 is something of a mystery. He was born in Silesia or Alsace or perhaps Nüremberg. Even the year of his birth is debateable. As a harpsichordist in the service of the Prince de Conti, his music was innovative in its stylistic and formal features. It had many aspects of the pre- Romantic era which would mature in the 1770s after his death: stormy, introverted and filled with extremes of expressive contrast. He was an influence on the young Mozart, opening up to him the possibility of adopting a poetic stance in his music.

Music Trivia Answers: 1. Lord Byron. 2. Hans Sachs. 3. Paolo Tosti. 4. River. 5. His organ playing. 6. A steel bar. 7. A dance in 3/4 time.

It is a brilliant divertissement based on Kentucky folk songs. It was about this time that ‘country and western’ and ‘bluegrass’ music was beginning to develop in the area based on the rural music of the descendants of German immigrants. This became influential later in emerging rock ‘n’ roll.

actually was. A contemporary of Monteverdi who lived and worked in Venice, seemingly as a leader of a company of wind players, this man of mystery wrote numerous sonatas which were ground-breaking for the time and had a significant influence on subsequent generations of Italian composers.

The Academy of Ancient Music has a reputation for historically aware performances of such works and this disc of 12 sonatas

by Castello does not disappoint. They are scored for violins, cornet, dulcian (a double reed instrument, predecessor to the modern bassoon), trombone and violetta (a cellogamba hybrid, turned a fifth higher than the cello) with continuo provided by theorbo, organ and harpsichord. These instruments are tuned to a higher pitch than the standard modern pitch of A’=440 hertz. This tuning is known as Venetian Pitch and it lends the

There are a couple of ways of listening to this music. One is to play the variations on a theme of melancholy as a single work while perhaps attending to other tasks and drifting in and out of concentration. After all, it was Satie himself who conceived of some of his work as ‘music for furniture’, music to be treated as a background. This is possibly the way one would listen for a few times.

However, after a few repetitions various pieces begin to stand out: the fluttering chiming clock sounds of love token and the more resonant bell-like sounds of for whom it tolls, the first and last pieces respectively; the echoes of the Gymnopédies in absynthe cocktail and phonometrician (Satie’s selfdescription). this year, the noted Brisbane chamber choir Canticum has assembled choral works by17 contemporary composers, 16 of whom, I have to admit, I had never heard of before. The 17th is the celebrated Estonian, Arvo Pärt, who occupies seven of the 18 tracks with Seven Magnificat Antiphons.

Of the others, three are Americans, three are Australians, one of whom lives in America; there’s a New Zealander, a Welshman, a Latvian, a Norwegian and a Swede.The music they have produced relates in some way to light, with titles such as Stars from Latvian Eriks Esenvalds; Only the light from Australian Philip Gearing, a former organist at St Paul’s Cathedral, Brisbane; and the

recordings an appealing edginess and spice alongside the wonderfully clear acoustics.

Stil moderno refers to both the virtuosic passages for the wind instruments and the mercurial alterations of tempo and mood, as in the first sonata which rapidly alternates between sections marked adagio and presto.

These virtuosic sonatas are thus at turns underpinned by a vibrant virtuosity and moving poignancy. Of particular note is the ornamentation added by the performers particularly prevalent in the latter sonatas, especially by the sweet-sounding dulcian, a popular 17th century virtuosic instrument.

It is a real treat to hear these rare instruments bring these fascinating and innovative sonatas to life.

- Laura-Jay Mathison

The music is spare and simple, but encompasses a range of moods. It can be hypnotic, stately, witty, tender and obsessive, but always understated and elegant and in all cases interpreted and played sensitively by Tamara-Anna Cislowska.

- Paul Cooke final offering Light by Keren Terpstra, another Brisbane resident who claims that her whole compositional approach is a search for the light. The one constant in all this is Christopher Wrench who supplies the piano accompaniment to the pieces, which are almost all beautiful.

I only have one quibble with this CD and it is that many of the pieces begin to sound the same after a while. It’s a CD better heard one or two tracks at a time. That said, Canticum sings wonderfully, the diction is impeccable and the timing perfect: a worthy tribute to music director Emily Cox and Canticum’s 21 years.

ST MATTHEW PASSION TOM FORRESTER-PATON GIVES A CHORISTER’S PERSPECTIVE in a Passion, and of the handful which have been written, none has had a fraction of St. Matthew’s impact.

The St. Matthew Passion makes considerable demands of its choirs. We have to communicate the drama of Matthew’s text to an audience, few of whom will understand German. One minute we are hymn-singing supplicants beseeching our Redeemer’s forgiveness and help; the next, we must sing choruses, or even polyphonic interjections to the other choir’s utterances, which bay convincingly for His blood. Thankfully, Bach comes to our aid, with word-painting which, while exquisitely detailed, is never fussy.

Titian J.S. Bach’s Passions are among the great masterpieces of Western culture. As a bass in Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, I sang in the St. John Passion last year, and the B minor Mass a few years before that, so the arrival on this year’s program of the St. Matthew was a welcome opportunity to tick another Bach box.

The staging at Easter of Passions, narrating the last days of Christ on earth, was a timehonoured practice, stretching back beyond the Reformation to the days of plain chant. During the 17th century, the form grew in theatrical scope, and acquired the components which we find in the Bach Passions. Borrowing from opera, recitative replaced plainchant, and extra-scriptural commentary was introduced in the form of arias, choruses and, in the Protestant tradition, chorales, based on familiar hymns.

By the time Bach assumed his Leipzig duties, the complex, dramatic Passion was a wellestablished form, whose purpose was not merely to narrate the last days of Jesus’ life, but to illuminate their contemporary meaning.

Very broadly speaking, the Evangelist (tenor) delivers a passage from Scripture in recitative secco (‘dry’, that is, accompanied only by continuo) which is then commented upon, often by a solo aria, followed by a chorale, using extra-scriptural texts and verse which had received the approval of the ecclesiastical authorities.

All this quite elaborate form needed for the emergence a body of work, which we can see in retrospect as its apogee, was the alliance of Bach’s musical genius and his Christian vision.

Of the two Passions which have survived intact, St. John was the first, and though it must have impressed the congregation who first heard it on Good Friday 1724, it is austere when compared to St. Matthew, which followed three years later. In part, this must be ascribed to the texts. When he applied for his Leipzig job, Bach was examined closely on doctrinal matters by the city’s most distinguished theologians, and we can be confident that his knowledge of his Bible was profound.

The St. John and the St. Matthew Gospels differ strikingly in their accounts of the Passion. St. John, writing long after the event, gives us stark reportage, all the more poignant and personal for its unadorned plangency.

Matthew’s nearly contemporaneous account feels far more clamorous, immediate and emotionally charged, and addresses a, possibly the, central tension of the Christian faith: that the Saviour was reviled and condemned to agonising death by the very people who must now receive him as their Redeemer. In the Lutheran tradition the simultaneity of these profoundly antagonistic ideas is a central tenet. In St. Matthew Bach ranges them against one another by writing for two choirs, each with its own small orchestra.

No composer before Bach, and few since, has attempted such a complex arrangement

Those interjections, some but a syllable, are among the more intimidating of the chorister’s tasks, often requiring us to find a pitch that seems to make no diatonic sense. This being Bach, of course, the sense is soon revealed, but that’s little comfort to the singer! Meanwhile the chorales present special challenges. They are not scripture, but hymns which would have been familiar to all of Bach’s congregants; indeed, many are familiar to audiences today.

All are musically quite simple and serve the artistic function of bringing the focus back home to the hearts and minds of those of us who have to live our lives in the here and now.

As such they are, essentially, mundane, but they must not sound ‘mundane’. Their very simplicity and familiarity brings this danger, and listeners might be surprised at the length of time the choir devoted to the chorales in rehearsal, and indeed at the time our Musical Director, Brett Weymark, spent parsing the texts to bring life, freshness and, above all, meaning to these beautiful, reflective hymns.

Singing as a ‘Philly’ is something of a way of life. It demands a modicum of discipline, and sometimes the willingness to ‘note-bash’ challenging music until, or so it seems, your brain just tires of getting it wrong, and submits.

The reward is to perform, with fine soloists, great conductors and under exemplary direction, some of the greatest works of music ever written. The St. Matthew Passion is high on that list.

The Sydney Philharmonia’s 2017 Easter performance of St. Matthew Passion, recorded

by Peter Bell for Fine Music, will be broadcast at 2.30pm on Saturday 12 August.

✶✶✶✶ Tom Vincent is a jazz pianist, arranger and composer based in Hobart and is one of Australia’s most innovative improvising musicians.

Among his career highlights is touring with saxophonist Branford Marsalis as support act and now on his eighth album to date he has finally recorded with him. Along with members from his trio expanded into a quartet, Alf Jackson on drums and Leigh Barker on double bass, he has added ex-patriot, now New York bassist, Matt Clohesy on two tracks and the legendary saxophonist Marsalis on three.

On this outing, they have added new musical influences of Ethio-jazz to dub, AfroCuban to Indonesian gamelan to their already successful repertoire style of reggae inspired jazz. This has resulted in a truly expansive album which justly serves the various creative forces within the band and the producer, musician/composer Lloyd Swanton from the award winning ambient ensemble, The Necks.

Recorded in two locations in America, the album is pure musical harmony delivering much more than just a characteristic piano trio album.The ensemble swings heartily from a blues-based axis which serves as a durable foundation for Vincent’s harmonic and rhythmic forays. The title track featuring Marsalis’s deftly played, technically superb soprano saxophone, is the only original composition by Vincent. It sits comfortably alongside the expertly selected all time classics A beautiful friendship, Autumn in New York, Sweet Georgia Brown and a stellar version of Indiana which would put a smile on the face of the great Earl Hines.

The recording of Blues in America is a significant achievement for a pianist who has Following on from the critical acclaim received here, in Europe and the USA of his first album, Land tides, National Jazz Award winner and Sydney based pianist /composer Jackson Harrison has released a lyrical album of original compositions named after the process of coalescing a powder into a solid by heating it without liquefaction. There’s nothing powdery about Jackson’s compositional skills and pianism on this recording, rather a strength and cohesion standing out as the backbone with the linking of composed pieces and collective improvisations.

There are some electrifyingly high energy moments where the album becomes delightfully effervescent like on the track Preludial and on others, Charcoal choral, River

The line-up of players has changed with the addition of Danny Fisher on several tracks in the drum chair and a new double bassist, Jonothan Zwartz, on all.The horn players are the same, Nick Garbett on trumpet and Jeremy Rose on alto and tenor sax as well as bass clarinet, with the other original Vampire drummer Alex Masso returning for two of the ten tracks on drums and percussion. Loueke’s electric and acoustic contributions, as well as his vocals, are at the core of it all. His creativity overflows in every track and you can easily feel his passion towards his own music.

He is also flexible with the band, brewing unique flavors with his razor-sharp guitar skills generating a sound that is at all times relaxing and comfortable to the senses.

The sophisticated three-way conversation of Harrison’s Trio is mesmerising. Ben Waples’ bass work, both arco and pizzicato, is outstanding as is his percussionist brother James’ subtle touch guiding the group through its more involved passages.This is one piano trio which effortlessly establishes a signature sound by virtue of the very strong musical personalities involved.

MESSAGE FROM VIENNA the 100th anniversary of the birth of conductor Georg Tintner who spent the years 1954 to 1987 in Australia.

His widow, Tanya Buchdahl Tintner, was visitng Vienna from her home in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she and Georg had settled after they left Australia. She looked up the internet and sent the meassage to express her thanks to us for remembering her husband.

A message from Vienna came through our website on Monday 22 May, the day when Fine Music broadcast a program celebrating

In reply I sent her the article which we published in our May magazine and said that I would make a CD for her of the broadcast. She later wrote: “I was curious to see if anyone anywhere had remembered Georg’s 100th. I knew already that Radio New Zealand had; I assumed correctly that the ABC hadn’t; but I didn’t know about your program until I saw it then, and what a happy surprise that was!”

Tanya told me that she has been here to Fine Music in the past. She was quite impressed when I told her that we had a lovely new building and that we had moved across the road and back again without a break in transmission.

She will be visiting Sydney in early August to attend the festival Out of the Shadows (refer to the article on page 9). The festival will include some of Georg’s compositions. Vienna was Georg Tintner’s birthplace but, because he was a Jew, he left Vienna in 1938 and spent the rest of his life living in New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Tanya now plans to visit to us at Fine Music.during that week.

Tanya, Georg’s third wife, has been a strong advocate in preserving his legacy which included his stunning interpretations of Bruckner’s symphonies. Tanya’s biography of Georg Tintner, Out of Time, was published

FROM BOOKKEEPING TO BEETHOVEN SUE JOWELL TALKS TO SISSI STEWART

Music has been a part of Sissi Stewart’s life since childhood. As a piano student, she developed a love of Classical music, encompassing everything from opera to Beethoven’s concertos.

Sissi spent much of her working life as office manager for a restoration architect. When she retired, however, she did not wish to leave the world of work and it wasn’t long before

she began to look for occupation in her field of expertise. At the suggestion of a friend she applied for a bookkeeping position in St Leonard’s. For the next year she kept the books for a radio station, which, in 2005, went under the banner of 2MBS-FM but, as we know, is now Fine Music 102.5.

After spending some time travelling abroad, Sissie returned to Sydney and she must still have had 2MBS-FM in her mind as, given her love of music, she soon returned to the station. Faced with all the choices of voluntary work available to her, she decided to focus her excellent organisational skills on the distribution of the Fine Music magazine That was 11 years ago, and every month since then, when the Fine Music magazine arrives at the station for dispatch, a willing team gathers around her, not only for the task at hand, but also for a get-together and a chat. The group has hardly changed since the beginning of Sissi’s tenure as co-ordinator of magazine dispatch. In fact Val Jory and Sari Isles were

already there. Since then Lyn Noble and Kristie Warrington have joined in.

Packing the magazine takes two days but that is not the end of the story. Sissi then coordinates the 60 or so additional volunteers who distribute the publication by hand, doorto-door! “Most of the deliverers are retired and enjoy the exercise”, she says “but they are not as young as they used to be and in time will need to stand down and replacing them is not so easy”. No doubt new volunteers would be most welcome!

Sissi finds her work rewarding, stimulating and fulfilling. She loves spending the many necessary hours with dedicated, reliable and helpful individuals who come from diverse backgrounds, disciplines and interests. “There is always lots to discuss and something new to learn,” she says. This is made all the more pleasurable with the Fine Music program playing in the background, and so it continues, working in harmony, for the love of music.
