Well, it’s official, the UK’s The Telegraph newspaper has included Fine Music 102.5 in its list of “The best internet radio stations”. Something to be proud of: telegraph.co.uk/radio/what-to-listen-to/the-bestinternet-radio-stations It’s all about monumental works this month with Sydney playing host to performances of Haydn’s Creation or Die Schöpfun and Franz von Suppé’s Requiem, to name just two. Firstly, Haydn’s great oratorio will be performed by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, with Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, under the baton of renowned Japanese conductor Masaaki Suzuki. Fine Music recently caught up with Maestro Suzuki and the soprano who will be performing the roles of Eve and Gabriel, Lydia Teuscher. You can pick up the conversation on the next page. Music Director of the Sydney University Graduate Choir (SUGC), Christopher Bowen, also speaks to Fine Music about the choir’s upcoming season beginning with a performance of von Suppé’s Requiem this month. In keeping with SUGC’s record of Australian firsts, it will be the first time Requiem has been performed here. But that’s just the beginning. In a blockbuster line-up this year, SUGC will also perform C.P.E Bach’s Magnificat coupled with the Australian premiere of Johann David Heinichen’s Missa No.9 in D in August. It finishes the year with Haydn’s great oratorio Die Schöpfung. But it is the performance of Handel’s Messiah at the Sydney Town Hall in November that is set to be a highlight. Fine Music also features an interview this month with Australia’s own Elena KatsChernin who is set for a massive year with the release of her CD Butterflying, a series of concerts with long-time collaborator Tamara-Anna Cislowska; and even the publication of a book! Read more on page 5. In this issue, we also continue with our series on Forgotten Composers - featuring the life and work of Iris de Cairos-Rego - an important contribution to Australian music history. As author Stephen Pleskun points out: “The sad reality is that almost every Australian can name more Melbourne Cup winners and/or Brownlow medal winners and/or criminals than they can Australian composers”. We at Fine Music like to think we’re doing something to change that reality. You’ll find a glorious selection of music for your listening pleasure this month and you might also find out some little known fact about our rich musical heritage, you never know.

SSO PRESENTS THE EPIC STORY OF CREATION Haydn’s oratorio conducted by Masaaki Suzuki For the 21st century listener it remains one of Haydn’s crowning achievements - every bit as spectacular and uplifting as Handel’s Messiah. This month, Sydneysiders will have the opportunity to experience the work when the SSO performs it under the baton of renowned Japanese conductor Massaki Suzuki.

Maestro Masaaki Suzuki The biblical story of Creation might be one of the most contested but it is also one of the most magnificently depicted in human history. Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam can only be described as splendid and Haydn’s oratorio is equally so. These works, in depicting the humanistic aspect of Creation, have the facility to transcend the religious. They are timeless, popular from the day they were conceived, and often referenced by contemporaries. Just like no print can compare to standing in the Sistine Chapel and looking up at the ceiling; no CD can capture the wonder of hearing Haydn’s Creation or Die Schöpfung performed live. In fact, it created such a buzz at its premiere in 1798 that performances were sold out and Police were hired for crowd control. 2

The libretto, taken from the Bible’s book of Genesis and Milton’s Paradise Lost, was arranged and translated into German by Haydn’s long-time collaborator Baron Gottfried van Swieten. The text is divided into three parts. The first two, telling of the six days of Creation, are narrated by the three archangels Gabriel (Soprano), Uriel (Tenor) and Raphael (Bass). ‘Part three’ is the first day in the life of Adam and Eve. They are humans and they are lovers as first introduced by Uriel (Allan Clayton in this production) and then expounded in their beautiful love duet (with Neal Davies as Adam and Lydia Teuscher as Eve). Uriel means God is my light and his name is woven into the setting of the text. It is he who warns of man’s fall from grace, but with delicacy and subtlety, for this work is a promise of redemption. It pledges light, strength and healing… words that permeate religious and new age thought. So is the work sacred or secular? Fine Music caught up with Masaaki Suzuki and Lydia Teuscher to ask this and more. “I think this work should be placed very close to the Christian work, but it is still arguable whether it really is. The text is indeed based on the Old Testament, but is even more affected by Milton and it does not mention the loss of paradise,” says Maestro Suzuki.

“So this should be seen as a work of an idealistic arcadia concept, rather than Christian work. Nevertheless, this does not mean that it would be less important, or by any means in negative evaluation, as a beautiful piece of music created by God which we could appreciate.” Soprano Lydia Teuscher tells Fine Music: “Well, Haydn said that he had never been more religious and believing than at the time he wrote this piece. “I was brought up as a Catholic and still believe. Maybe this helps give me a better understanding of the work, but I don’t think you necessarily have to be a religious person to appreciate this work. It has so many facets and also parts where no text is sung, where the music speaks for itself.” As one with an intricate understanding of Baroque music, how does Maestro Suzuki bring this knowledge to his interpretation of Haydn? He explains that the transition from Baroque to Classical period was a continuous progression. “Haydn’s music looks and sounds quite different from any Baroque music, but there are many common elements and styles of music making,” explains Maestro Suzuki. “Nothing is less natural, nor more difficult, than Baroque. Rather it becomes easier in terms of the understanding of the music, in spite of many tricky moments for the ensemble, technically speaking.” Having performed a wide variety of roles and in several genres, Lydia Teuscher’s “special love” is lieder and she holds an even greater place in her heart for Haydn’s Creation. “I have to say that I have been in love with this oratorio since I was a child; it was one of the first performances I saw. For me it’s like an opera. I also have to sing different roles (Gabriel and Eve) within the work, which is great. “The music is so rich in terms of different colours, different orchestrations,” notes Teuscher, who says it’s possible to sense an

Playing organ professionally at church services at the age of 12, Suzuki went on to earn degrees in composition and organ at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, then earned Soloist Diplomas at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. There he studied harpsichord and organ with Ton Koopman and Piet Kee and improvisation with Klaas Bolt. From 1981 to 1983, Maestro Suzuki was a harpsichord instructor at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Duisburg, Germany. In 1983 he returned to Japan, where he began teaching at Kobe Shoin Women’s University. In 1990 he founded Bach Collegium Japan, a baroque orchestra and

eagle flying and beating its wings in Haydn’s orchestration of the fifth day of Creation. “It is at the same time both rich and pure music and I always say you have to feel the music and sing with your heart, then we can create something natural and hopefully reach the audience,” she said. Since having a family, Teuscher has performed more opera and concert work, however she longs to return to lieder. “To sing songs is the most bare and difficult thing - but at the same time the most intimate and beautiful communication with the audience - and also vocally it’s the biggest challenge,” said Teuscher. “Opera is a lot of fun and to have the additional dimensions of (inter)acting and costumes and set, opens up another world which is fabulous. I love acting and singing special characters; it presents another physical demand,” says the singer, some of whose most memorable performances have included playing the male role of Cherubino in the 2013 Glyndebourne Festival production of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro.

chorus. The group began giving concerts regularly in 1992, and made its first recordings three years later, when they began recording Bach’s complete cantatas for the Swedish label BIS Records. They completed the 55-volume series of church cantatas in 2013. It is Maestro Suzuki’s approach to classical and baroque repertoire that had placed him on Lydia Teuscher’s conductor “wish list” for a long time. “I have a lot of his recordings and I’m excited to have the chance to work with him and of course I’m very much looking forward to singing The Creation in German with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra,” she said. On her last visit to Australia, Teuscher performed the roles of Gabriel and Eve in a Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Chorus production of The Creation, where she was credited for the zest and wit she brought to the roles.

Bringing it together

“On my last visit to Australia, I performed two different programs in Melbourne and Tasmania. These were great experiences, but I only visited Sydney and the Opera House as a tourist. Now I am very much looking forward to being creative in this house,” she said.

“Playing and conducting aren’t so different from each other. My conducting would have been never possible without my experience as a player of continuo and soloist,” said Maestro Suzuki.

She promises to bring something new as well: “Even if I have performed a work many times, I always look at the entire music again because every time I re-visit it I discover new things and try out something different”.

She also enjoys singing Romantic repertoire such as Humperdinck’s Hänsel and Gretel and Berlioz’ Béatrice and Benedicte.

Having spent 25 years conducting the Bach Collegium, what does Maestro Suzuki see as the role of ‘sacred music’ in the 21st century? “Well that depends on how you define ‘sacred music’. For me, any music being ‘sacred’ is not according to the classification, but instead according to how you receive the music. “So, any music can be sacred if you see it as such. In this sense, you always need ‘sacred music’ unless you abandon music. “The so-called ‘sacred music’ in narrower meaning which is based on the Bible text or composed for the Christian church lost the role long before, unless it works as good music which speaks to you heart,” he says. With Suzuki’s definition in mind, Haydn’s oratorio is sacred in any guise. From the poetry of Uriel’s aria ‘With softer beams and milder light steps on the silver moon thro’ silent night…’ to the romance of the duet ‘But without thee, what is to me the morning dew…’ this piece cannot but touch the heart. And that’s just the libretto. Without spoiling it, there is a musical moment to rival Michelangelo’s ‘almost touching’ fingers: it’s so powerful that Beethoven referenced it in his 5th Symphony. But if you want to know more, you’ll have to hear this magnificent work for yourself.

FROM THE CHAIR... Fine Music greeted Autumn by participating in the Living Art Weekend where people were invited into the Fine Music studios to don a pair of earphones and feel what it’s like to be in the presenter’s seat. One of the more distinguished visitors we had on the day was the Federal Member for North Sydney, Trent Zimmerman, making his first visit to the studios of Fine Music. We had an opportunity to talk to him of the exciting possibilities offered by digital radio. Speaking of digital, I wonder if you have had an opportunity listen to our New Australian Music for the HSC programs that started broadcasting in February on Fine Mus. You can also listen to the broadcasts on demand at finemusicfm.com. The visit of the local MP was most timely for it came just as the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia was in discussion with the Federal Minister for Communications, Mitch Fifield, to maintain government funding of digital transmission. Trent Zimmerman kindly offered to speak to the Minister on our behalf. Another Autumnal highlight was the Fine Music Light Supper hosted in support of our

Artists-in-Residence, the Acacia Quartet. The musicians and audience at the Bowral Autumn Music Festival had an opportunity to meet one another between concerts in the charming Henrietta Rose Room in the original Bowral Town Hall. You will have an opportunity to hear recordings of some of the concerts from this annual event on Fine Music over the coming months thanks to Roger Doyle, one of our volunteer recording engineers. They include a recording of the premiere performance of Tipitina String Quintet, a birthday present for Acacia’s Stefan Duwe from composer Lyle Chan. The second viola part is played by Duwe’s mentor, Emile Cantor, in Australia as a guest of the Acacia Quartet. Are you fortunate enough to have any emerging musicians in your life? Fine Music is currently accepting applications for our Young Composer competition as well as our Kruger Scholarship. There are also still some opportunities for Year 10 students to do a work experience week at the Fine Music Studios. Just check our website for details. Do be in touch if you would like to visit our studios and in the meantime I wish you a month of wonderful music. Janine Burrus Chair, Fine Music

AUSTRALIA’S CLASSICAL LUMINAIRIES TO PERFORM TOGETHER

Elena and Tamara at the piano

As musicians, and as friends, there are few people who can attest to as successful a collaboration as composer, Elena Kats-Chernin and pianist, Tamara-Anna Cislowska. A chance phone call in the office of Belinda Webster (Tall Poppies) introduced these two wonderful musicians to one another more than 20 years ago. Elena recalls: “On the line was this incredibly articulate and beautifully spoken person, and that was Tamara. We had a long chat, and she asked so many questions- she’s a wonderful thinker, and I asked her to play a premiere of my piece, and she said ‘yes’”.

“Something fun, and most importantly, something engaging” says KatsChernin. “Being a composer since I was a very little girl, I have always improvised at the piano. I played the piano. I played with the piano. Every single day of my life. It is simply what I do. When I am not doing it, I think about when I will do it next. It is my best friend and my great love.” Fittingly, the program will include a piece by the six-year old Elena KatsChernin. l-r: Elena Kats-Chernin and Tamara-Anna Cislowska. Image - Steven Godbee

Since then, their work both as a performing duo, and as individuals, has taken them on wide ranging journeys around the globe. “There have been lots of projects that we have been involved with over the years- a number of duet and multiple piano concertsand she premiered my Variations in a serious black dress and the Schubert Blues. “She was learning many new pieces of mine, and we collaborated extensively over that,” Kats-Chernin tells Fine Music magazine. “One day, Tamara started playing along to one of my pieces, and that’s how this four hands collaboration was born, and it was just so inspiring,” she recalls. In their upcoming performance Kats-Chernin and Cislowska will improvise live, as they traverse the wondrous catalogue of the composer’s music, presenting well-loved works in an utterly new light and unveiling treasures in an intimate tête-a-tête. They will also be joined by Australian flautist Jane Rutter. Kats-Chernin says of her long-time collaborator: “She [Cislowska] is a stunning pianist, and can play almost anything. She has this beautiful sound and beautiful ideas that she brings spontaneously to the works”. Of their musical adventures, Elena states “we always have this interplay of ideas, but we never have anything properly written outthey’re sketches and very messy, but there

are lots of colours and instructions - and it’s just a plan, but sometimes we don’t adhere to the plan, and that is the exciting part. “Of course, it never ceases to surprise me about how much potential is in one piano, and how much more can happen with twenty fingers instead of ten,” she says.

Butterflying and beyond In conjunction with this concert is the release of a double-CD set entitled Butterflying: piano music of Elena Kats-Chernin (ABC Classics). This showcases both solo and duet works for piano, composed by Kats-Chernin and performed by the composer and Cislowska. “We had this massive collection of music that could be recorded, and we knew there were some that definitely had to be recorded,” says Kats-Chernin. “It was also lovely to have some versions of my music that are just frozen in time.” To coincide with the CD release, a book, entitled Piano Village, is being released, containing 25 of Kats-Chernin’s piano works. “It’s great for me to have all three projects happening at the moment- performing in concert, recording a CD and publishing a book. It’s a great result and lets me see my music in different lights,” she said. An event as unique as this can always provide some surprises and exciting moments, so what can audiences expect?

“In the works that we present, Tamara often plays what I would call the outline of my written score or sketches whilst leaving me plenty of room to elaborate or create further,” said Kats-Chernin. “The piece can take an entirely different turn by the end of the performance. It is this freshness and licence of creativity that excites me about these concerts, and many times a new piece has been born out of what happens on the stage.”

CONTINUING ITS RECORD OF AUSTRALIAN FIRSTS

Sydney university graduate choir

certainly, both the choir and I have developed enormously as a direct result. The choir’s belief in my creativity has touched me in quite a profound way. Over the years they have displayed a great deal of courage and dedication in supporting ventures such as Sydney Sings, The Joan Carden Award for young singers and compositions such as the Australian War Requiem. FM: The premiere of An Australian War Requiem is certainly a difficult act to follow, but do you have other new work in development? Christopher Bowen The Sydney University Graduate Choir, formed in 1952, is well known for its high quality performances of great choral music and its innovative repertoire. The choir sings under the direction of conductor and composer Christopher Bowen OAM who has been Music Director since 1992. Recently, he spoke with Fine Music about the Choir’s season, commencing this month with an Australian-first performance of Franz von Suppé’s Requiem also known as the Missa pro defunctis. FM: Can you explain how Requiem best showcases the abilities and strengths of the SUGC and who will be the soloists? I have wanted to conduct this work for many years, as it is a work of the highest order and compares most favourably with Verdi’s mighty Requiem. The work is just over 72 minutes in length and contains extraordinarily beautiful, dramatic and indeed, powerful music, which is very wellsuited to the rich and full sound of the choir. There are also moments of great delicacy and there is one movement for male choir which is quite exhilarating. It is particularly pleasing to have Anna Dowsley back as the mezzo- soprano for this performance. Anna is now performing regularly with Opera Australia, as is Adrian Tamburini, the bass soloist who made such an impression in the Australian War Requiem in 2014 and Dvorak’s Stabat Mater in 2015. The choir is looking forward to welcoming the gifted soprano, Sarah Toth for the very first time.

FM: Can you comment on the choice of repertoire this year and what you are most looking forward to in presenting these works? CB: Over the years I have always tried to introduce neglected masterpieces into the repertoire to stand alongside the accepted canon. This tradition continues in 2016 with of course, the performance of von Suppé’s Requiem in May and C.P.E Bach’s Magnificat coupled with the Australian premiere of Johann David Heinichen’s Missa No.9 in D in August. We finish the year with Haydn’s great oratorio Die Schöpfung. But it is the performance of Handel’s Messiah at the Sydney Town Hall in November which promises to be a real highlight. As part of the highly successful Sydney Sings series of concerts, which is a regular and integral part of SUGC’s outreach program, guest choristers from NSW, interstate and sometimes overseas are invited to come together and share their love of music. It is a most rewarding experience to be part of such an inspiring event that creates so much goodwill in the community and reinforces the importance of music to our social fabric. FM: Can you explain how your role has matured and changed over your time with SUGC, and yourself as an artist? CB: During this time, both the choir and I have been on a very rewarding journey. From my perspective, the choir has been most supportive and receptive of the new ideas and challenges that I have initiated, and

CB: I have been commissioned to write a chamber work for the 50th Anniversary of International House which gives me the opportunity to collaborate with musicians of the calibre of Deborah de Graaff, so that should be quite exciting. I also have two major projects underway which deal with some really important issues very dear to my heart. Yes, the response to my Australian War Requiem has been enormously positive, and I certainly hope that any future composition will be similarly received. I can only imbue my work with sincerity and integrity with the intent of communicating honestly with the listener. FM: What would be on your wishlist in terms of repertoire and location of performance with the SUGC? CB: On my wishlist would be works such as Bach’s St Matthew Passion; Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Missa Solemnis; Berlioz’s L’Enfance du Christ, Requiem and Te Deum; Mahler’s Das Klagende Lied; Franz Schmidt’s Das Buch des Sieben Siegeln; works by Zelenka; and the list goes on and on. There are so many fine works yet to be performed. Some of these works are huge and need to be performed in locations such as the Town Hall or the Opera House which means huge financial resources, but that’s my ambition and vision for the future.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

How the two ‘Smiths’ joined Acacia E. Hill’s book on Antonio Stradivari, came to Australia as a young man in 1909. After studying and working in Melbourne and San Francisco, he eventually established A.E. Smith & Co. Ltd in Sydney. Apart from instrument repair, Smith made 250 instruments over the course of his lifetime, mostly violins and violas. His violas are considered world-class, and at one point, every violist in the SSO played on a Smith viola.

l-r: Lisa Stewart and Myee Clohessy with their Smith violins I feel so fortunate to be in Acacia Quartet, this year more than any other. It is our sixth year together and so many things are falling into place. Of course our playing has matured, and I believe we are better with every performance, but 2016 is a year of firsts! It is to be the year of our first international appearance, our first international guest artist and our first ever sponsorship (Acacia is being sponsored by D’Addario Strings). Incredibly, we have been honoured with the long-term loan of a Smith violin for our first violinist Lisa Stewart to play. This loan is even more special because it means that both our violinists now play violins built just three years apart by Australian luthier A.E. Smith. The story of how these violins have come to be a part of Acacia Quartet involves childhood mentors, the generosity of strangers and a train accident. Myee Clohessy, our second violinist, has owned her own Smith violin since she was 14 years of age. A Mittagong girl, she began lessons with one of Australia’s best violinists and teachers, Ernest Llewellyn, who had recently retired to the Southern Highlands. Llewellyn had been concertmaster of the SSO and founder of the Canberra School of Music before seeking a quieter life with his wife Ruth. Ruth’s father, Arthur Edward Smith, is known as the pioneer of Australian violin making. Smith, a British luthier self-taught from A.

Smith was in high demand and the soloists that travelled to Australia to perform with the SSO would bring their instruments to him for adjustment and repair. These soloists included such distinguished players as Yehudi Menuhin and Isaac Stern, both of whom later purchased violins from Smith. Menuhin even bought three! While working on Isaac Stern’s priceless Guarneri, Smith took its measurements and the copy of it he built would become Myee’s violin. It was Myee’s teacher Llewellyn that found the violin for her and convinced her parents to buy it for their daughter.

luthier who reassured her that he could repair the cracks and that he knew of an instrument she could play in the meantime. He brought her to Nada Brissenden who agreed to loan Myee her late husband’s Smith violin. Myee spent the latter half of last year playing “Harold”. After her violin was repaired, Lisa returned “Harold” and we all went our separate ways for our well-earned summer break. Then, in late January Myee phoned Lisa with the news that a patron had offered to buy “Harold” for her to play. We were all bowled over the generosity of this private donor but so grateful as our two Smith’s have blended beautifully and added a new richness to the Acacia sound.

Story of ‘Harold’

15 May, 3pm

Lisa Stewart was also blessed with a fantastic violin education. She was one of the first Australian children to go through the Suzuki system. She received weekly lessons from violist William Primrose and his wife Hiroko on violin. The Suzuki children were treated to chamber music concerts with Primrose and the Tokyo String Quartet. The Australian Suzuki Association was founded by Harold Brissenden and his wife Nada who had travelled to Japan to see the success of the system there, and Lisa remembers them both fondly.

Acacia Quartet invites you to join them for their first concert of ‘Acacia Presents...’ at the Utzon Room at the Sydney Opera House.

“I remember Harold and Nada since the beginnings of my life with the violin. Nada played piano for all my concerts and there were lots and lots of concerts. Harold was an incredibly friendly, warm and loving man with a friendly smile and always a kind word. His dedication towards music education in Australia was extraordinary.” And the violin that Lisa has been blessed with? Harold’s violin. We first came across “Harold” after a disturbing accident last year when Myee’s violin case opened as she was getting off a train and her precious Smith fell onto the platform. In shock, she rushed straight to her

A month later she performed two of her piano pieces at the Palings building in Sydney and one of them, her Romance in F was accepted for publication in London. A little later, Iris was one of a group of musicians who performed at the YMCA Hall in Sydney on 2 November when she again played her Romance.

Autumn music festival lights up Bowral for tenth year It was my pleasure as Chair of Fine Music, to host a light supper in the charming historic Henrietta Rose Room for Friends of Fine Music, BAMF Members, composers, musicians, and those hosting them. This was an opportunity to make and meet friends; to chat with Elena Kats-Chernin; and meet with other distinguished local Australian composers Ann Carr-Boyd and May Howlett. l-r: Stefan Duwe and Emile Cantor With continuing support from Fine Music, this year’s Bowral Autumn Music Festival (BAMF) took place from 18-20 March and celebrated ten years at the beautiful St Jude’s Church in the Southern Highlands. Amongst the distinguished line-up of performers were Canberra based organist Jonathan Lee, winner of the Sydney Organ Competition; the internationally acclaimed pianist Tamara-Anna Cislowska; delightful flautist Jane Rutter; the Acacia Quartet who are currently Artists-in-Residence at Fine Music; and the Marais Project with a literal smörgåsbord of Swedish Music.

There is no doubt that such music making contributes greatly to the culture and experiences of local communities and we should be grateful for the initiative and energy shown by Dr Allan Beavis OAM, Festival Director and the organisational skill of Artistic Director Myee Clohessy, herself a valued member of the Acacia Quartet. The Festival opened with ‘Classical Jewels’ featuring the music of Mozart and C.P.E Bach performed by the Acacia Quartet with Jane Rutter. In the evening ‘Russian Tapestry’ included a glorious mix of Rachmaninov, starting with the seldom heard String

Quartet no.1, solo piano works by Scriabin, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and Russian born Elena Kats-Chernin’s Silver Poetry and Five Chapter’s Piano Quintet. The Acacia Quartet then insisted that Kats-Chernin and Cislowska take the helm at the piano for an improvised encore of Russian Rag for four hands and strings. Saturday morning saw the performance at the Mittagong Playhouse of an event for children of all ages. In the evening the Acacia Quartet were joined by Stefan Duwe’s teacher and mentor, Dutch violist Emile Cantor of the much recorded Orpheus Quartet in a sparkling performance of Vaughan Williams’ Phantasy Quartet and in Frank Bridge’s Lament for two violas. Lyle Chan introduced the world premiere performance of his Tipitina String Quintet, composed in honour of Stefan Duwe’s birthday. The Mozart Quintet in C was a lovely way to finish the concert. Yet again the Bowral Autumn Music Festival has presented a wonderful array of music and for us Sydneysiders provided a great weekend away in the beautiful Southern Highlands.

YOUNG VIRTUOSI

Broadcasts of YVA semi-finalists continue Fine Music 102.5 will continue broadcasts of the 17 semi-finalists in the 2016 Young Virtuoso Awards throughout May. There will be four performers featured in this month’s program including Benett Tsai, Sandra Ismail, Pavle Cajic and Brian Kim. On offer are cash prizes, live-to-air broadcasts and a chance to perform with the North Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the North Sydney Youth Symphony. Benett Tsai - Cello Twelve year old Benett Tsai, who has been learning the cello since age five, has won many awards and prizes nationally and has appeared in recital as a soloist in Canberra. In 2015, Tsai obtained his AMEB AMusA with Distinction and is a Year 7 student. Apart from music, he has an interest in history and sports. Tsai says learning and playing the cello has definitely broadened his experience and made his Primary School life colourful and exciting especially the past couple of years. Some of the highlights to date have been close up encounters with great cellists who inspire him. “I entered the Young Virtuoso Award as this presents an opportunity to perform and get valuable feedback. Being selected as a semifinalist means that I will be able to record a 50-minute recital program for broadcast. There is no doubt I will learn so much more through this process,” said Tsai. “The cello is a marvelous instrument. I always try to make my cello sing and tell the story from the music scores.” Sandra Ismail - Clarinet Sandra Ismail, 23, completed her Bachelor of Music Performance in 2014 at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. She has been a member of many prestigious Australian youth orchestras, and has attended the Australian International Symphony Orchestra Institute. In 2015, Ismail became a member of the

NSW Police Band and additionally took up a position as SSO clarinet fellow. “My main highlights would be being able to perform with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the Opera House as a guest musician. I have also attended many music camps which have really helped me grow as a musician and performer,” she says. “I am entering the YVA because having a recital/performance/audition to work towards means I can set goals and schedule practice efficiently. “It feels great to be selected as being able to perform a recital on radio is a privilege that not many musicians get,” said Ismail. Pavle Cajic - Piano Pavle Cajic, 21, studies piano at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and was twice selected to attend the Conservatorium’s newly established Estivo Chamber Music Summer School in Verona, Italy. In addition to performing, Cajic is also a composer and arranger and plans to pursue postgraduate studies in performance and composition in Europe. Pavle says highlights have been his participation in three international music festivals in Italy especially the most recent where he performed with his newly formed trio the St Veaux Trio, as well as a solo recital in New Zealand. “I am entering this competition in order to gain experience in auditioning, recording long recitals and performing. I am especially excited to be recording one of my own arrangements for broadcast,” said Cajic. “The YVA allows me to share my ideas on the music I am playing through my performance and to showcase my abilities as an arranger.”

Brian Kim – Flute Brian Kim, 16, is a Year 10 student on an academic and full music scholarship. He began flute studies at age 10 and has had multiple broadcasts on Fine Music 102.5 including as a finalist in the 2014 YVA. He has also played as a soloist and as a member of chamber music groups and orchestras. Kim believes the YVA is an “amazing competition” especially the opportunity it provides to broadcast an individual program. “The immense diversity and passion showcased through this series is phenomenal. This is why I entered the program. To be selected as a finalist in 2014 was an incredible reward. “When performing a piece of music, the music always draws upon the intentions and interpretation of the performer. “The synergetic selection of my program as well as my interpretation will bring a unique and different contribution to the program,” said Kim.

The ensemble has performed many concerts before Australian as well as European audiences. Devoted to early music, the ensemble has prepared a program for this afternoon concert featuring the most prominent masters of the Baroque era. Works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann and Antoni Vivaldi will be performed among other composers. Stan Kornel on baroque violin will also play on a fourteen-string viola d’amore and HansDieter Michatz will demonstrate a very rare instrument, largely neglected in our time – the csakan.

composer Ginastera is a particular favourite, and featured on the Quartet’s Grammynominated first album. The Spaniard Turina’s luscious Serenata is a delightful companion for Ginastera’s Second Quartet. In the second program, Spanish music appears again, but this time centuries older, among three compelling transcriptions of Renaissance pieces. There are great classics too: the Ensō acknowledges two of the cornerstones of a quartet’s life in Beethoven’s beloved ‘Harp’ Quartet, and in Ravel’s amazing, and only, foray into the form. In keeping with the group’s forward-looking nature, there is also a brandnew work written just for them, by revered Australian composer Brenton Broadstock AM.

It has an epic quality, a sweep and grandeur that triumphs over passing feelings of anxiety to celebrate the heroic, optimistic power of life.

A highly appropriate work to celebrate the achievements of SYO’s fine young musicians.

rapturous heights. Beethoven was deeply influenced by Bach, studying his scores in the library of the Archduke Rudolph. He was driven to explore the fugal form, in works such as the Fugue in D major – his only late work completed for string quintet – and notably his Grosse Fuge, which The New Yorker music critic Alex Ross called “a musicological Holy Grail”, and “the most radical work by the most formidable composer in history”. In this tour de force directed by Richard Tognetti, the Grosse Fuge takes its original place as the finale of the String Quartet Op.130, a work that veers from torrential passion to aching beauty. Mozart’s last and most dramatic violin concerto, No.5 in A Major is also known as the ‘Turkish’, for the exotic elements of its finale. It is dramatic yet playful, with an Adagio that is rightly considered one of the most moving passages Mozart ever composed.

This year will also see a new addition to the annual concert cast, featuring the beautiful vocals of Hummingsong Women’s Choir. It is sure to be an impressive night of music, as the orchestra once again performs under the baton of conductor, Dr David Banney, winner of the 1995 ABC-Westfield Australian Young Conductor of the Year Award. Proceeds from the concert will directly go towards the Sydney Eisteddfod, in addition to this year’s chosen charity, Save Sight Institute. 2016 will mark their 7th year sponsoring the ‘NSW Doctors Orchestra Sydney Eisteddfod Instrumental Scholarship’, open to young musicians between 16-25 years of age, who show expertise in the fields of strings, woodwind or brass instruments, worth $10,500 annually.

This program explores works presented in the finest Viennese salons, such as that belonging to the famous patron of Beethoven, Gottfried van Swieten. Mozart’s friend, Hoffmeister, became one of Vienna’s most popular and enterprising musicians. Interestingly, as one of the most influential music publishers of the time, he printed works by all of our featured composers. His Flute Quartet in C minor will make for a stormy start to the evening. Mozart’s Quartet K449, dedicated to Hoffmeister, earned Mozart praise at the time for its ‘fire of the imagination’, and is still considered to be one of his finest.

His exquisite Clarinet Trio draws out the instrument’s expressive qualities in a beautiful and touching exchange of ideas.

Albrechtsberger, a teacher of Beethoven, was influential in Vienna. This underrated composer’s string quartet is an overlooked gem, with a fugue rivalling even those of Haydn’s Op. 20 Quartets. Arguably one of the most extraordinary Viennese soirées ever, included Haydn, Mozart, von Dittersdorf and our last featured composer, Vanhal, a prolific Bohemian composer. We end this program with his resplendent Flute Quintet in B flat major.

Beethoven’s Clarinet Trio in B major was similarly inspired by a well-known performer, who put in a request for a work based on a popular tune of the day. This concert also includes Bach’s immensely popular Cello Suite in G major together with a new work by Ben Hoadley. May 2016

transitions weave the different philosophical and poetic aspects of the program into one cogent musical ecosystem. Grimaud, as always, delivers energetic and provocative performances. Her clean, crisp playing is nowhere better found than in her delivery of Liszt’s Les Jeux d’eaux a la Villa d’Este which is played with conviction and flair. The earlier works by Berio and Takemistsu take on a more sensual and reflective tone and provide the listener with a variety of contrasting moods and musical experiences. This is a uniquely holistic approach to music making, one which is refreshing and at times, almost hypnotic. Grimaud has spoken about the difficulty she had in choosing the repertoire, reflecting

on the vast quantity of music which has the cognition of the elements of water. She settled on works which were less narrative and more abstract and stylised. Her playing is faultless, her ongoing work for the environment is almost as impressive. - Frank Shostakovich

many traditions the album is remarkably cohesive - one feels no sense of whiplash as a spritely Klezmer dance gives way to a meditative Swedish traditional tune. Fröst’s immense control of the clarinet is the common denominator here, treating each melody with great attention to dynamics and commanding the orchestra as much through subtlety as by grand gesture. Surprisingly, the classical era is dealt with in a single, rather predictable piece by Bernhard Crusell, the only on the album to be presented in its original setting. This felt quite out of place sandwiched between a floating, modern arrangement of Psalm från Älvdals-Åsen and a texturally rich, understated treatment of Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 14. Fröst clearly

favours the folk dance style, represented by the aforementioned Brahms, as well as Schumann with 5 Stücke im Volkston and Bartok with his Romanian Folk Dances, the latter collection a highlight for its colour and intensity. Rolig Pers Polksa takes a striking approach to dance, with Fröst beat boxing intermittently among the pulsating rhythms he meanwhile creates on his clarinet. Another oddity, Hillborg’s Hymn of Echoes charmingly dissolves the ancient into the modern and seems to me like a perfect endpoint, making the tango numbers that close the album seem somewhat superfluous as a result.

seeming to, by turns, blend and contrast – as in the opening Escapades. In Fantasy Sonata the opening melody could have been written by Faure himself. The modestly titled Postcards are precisely that, musical souvenirs spanning the globe: A Russian Song & Dance has a Rachmaninov-like fatalism and a falling line; A Courtly Dance could almost be a long-lost movement from Ravel’s Le Tombeau; and Solitaire with a stepwise melody and the (feigned) naivety of Erik Satie, has a touching simplicity. One of his teachers, Arthur Benjamin, wrote Jamaican Rhumba – did it inspire JC’s Caribbean? I’m usually besotted by anything played on an oboe, so Sonata – Music Grave and Gay is no exception. The closing Allegro has a perky little main theme that sounds

like Poulenc at his debonair best; prior to it, the Lento is the most heavy-hearted movement in this collection. But is this music too wellmannered for its own good? Well, I sense Carmichael long ago realised the essence of integrity is being true to what you perceive to be the best aspects of yourself. A modernist he isn’t; but if elegant craftsmanship and integrity count for anything, he will always find an audience.

Margaret Plummer, Nicholas Dinopoulos and the acclaimed chorus Cantillation - all under the baton of Artistic Director and conductor Antony Walker. The performance is full of rich textures and moods, fused with wonderful dramatic moments and with a conductor who maintains an exciting forward thrust which keeps one held on to the edge of one’s seat. The principals maintain an impressive control throughout which contributes to the audience feeling a sense of emotional closeness and excitement. With this work Gluck took the operatic reform to its logical conclusion, producing some memorable arias but shorter succinct recitatives, and reducing the usual number of dance movements as one would have found in similar works.

The work is in four acts and begins with that memorable great storm at sea but ends with that tranquil deep peace reigning over the breast of the waves. Pinchgut Operas are recorded and released through the Pinchgut LIVE label and deserve a high acknowledgment for a wonderful performance and recording. - Emyr Evans

version. Her challenge is of course to bring out the timbre and sonority of each work on the piano. Her interpretation of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is both vibrant and refreshing. The opening Promenade is more held back than usual but it creates a sense of timelessness of one walking through an art gallery. It balances superbly with the 2nd Promenade that melts magnificently into The Old Castle where a beautifully structured tempo is set and maintained and is one of the highlights of the performance. Bydlo is played with power and gusto, however her best work is reserved for the eerie Paris Catacombs and communication with the dead. The sense of solemnity is both savage and terrifying. The Great Gate of Kiev provides grandiose and nostalgic finale. Ravel is well known for his

orchestration of Pictures at an Exhibition but here, he does the opposite and develops his orchestral work La Valse into a colourful and unfortunately rarely performed piano transcription. Buniatishvilli’s technical wizardry is on show again providing the listener with an 11-minute excursion into the realms of possibilities on the piano. Finally Stravinsky’s Three Movements from Petrushka that was developed from the original ballet score again allows her to let her hair down and captivate the listener into a seamless array of sound and colour. This album will please any lover of piano virtuosity but also anyone seeking an individual sense of musicianship and craftsmanship.

and was known to have a great interest in Bela Bartok’s music, which became a major influence in his work. On this recording, Hope plays Duet by Steve Reich with such conviction and clarity; the articulation of the dissonances are impeccable. Another particularly invigorating piece is Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Violins and Strings in A Minor, Allegro. Hope’s playing has a strong sense of fluidity and continuity - he plays exactly what is heard in his imagination. As a non-Bartok fan, this recording allowed me to tolerate his music. Hope gives Bartok’s music some light and is played with a rich quality of sound. The conviction in his music pulls the listener to hang on and travel with the story all the

way until the end. There is a fine mixture of different composers in this recording and definitely something for every classical fan, from Mendelssohn to Reich, Vivaldi to Tavener, Elgar to Bartok, and the list goes on. Hope enunciates each piece with conviction and in a genuine manner. He highlights each of the composer’s unique styles and has delivered an all-round solid performance.

Trajectoire is a collaboration between the French pianist composer Alexis Tcholakian and the Queensland based vocalist Ingrid James. Their paths crossed in France when she was performing in a Paris jazz club and he approached her to write lyrics to some of his melodies as part of a vocal project with other singers in France. After completion of several songs together it felt right for them

to do an album and in June 2014 Trajectoire was recorded in Paris. Consisting mostly of their original compositions (the one exception being a comely version of the Jimmy Rowles standard The Peacocks with lyrics by Norma Winstone) this vocally outstanding album is now available through Newmarket Music in Australia. Throughout the recording Tcholakian’s pianoforte is flawless on every track. His world-class trio accompanies him dexterously on every move, slipping and gliding through the various stories of love, disillusion, hope and hip jazz life like a Maserati manoeuvring the climbs and gradients of a curving mountainous path. There are highs and lows at every turn and Ms James is always in command vocally at the wheel of this transcendently impressive outing with her flawless technique and gilded

timbre. Adding to this are some magical improvisational moments from the wind section especially Simon SpangHanssen’s tenor on several tracks and Mariane Bitran’s flute on the title track. Miroslav Bukovsky’s sympathetic flugelhorn on Night Reflection mourns wistfully on a soulful ode to the brevity of life. May their paths continue to cross in many harmonious musical journeys in the future. - Barry O’Sullivan

from Lester Young to Ben Webster and Stan Getz, learns the lyrics of the melodies he plays. The reason is simple - they give a song its meaning, providing the springboard for melodic improvisations. One recalls the surprise of an audience when Webster stopped in the middle of a chorus before explaining he had forgotten the lyrics of the ballad he was playing. Houston, who has always shown his respect for the melody, gives the impression that he could be singing the lyrics as his soulful, expressive tenor saxophone caresses some of the interesting songs he continues to find from The Great American Songbook. This 2015 session follows in the same vein as his previous release The Melody Lingers On (2014): a musical cocktail of warm ballads, bossa-

inflected standards and a few swingers. Again he is in familiar company: vibraphonist Steve Nelson, who is now a major solo voice on these sessions, and a top flight rhythm section led by pianist John di Martino with bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Lewis Nash. Guitarist James Chirillo appears on four tracks. Only di Martino did not appear on the previous album. The songs rang from the mid-tempo The Way We Were to the bossa nova styled Change Partners and finally the long version of I Remember Clifford, the best track, on which Drummond takes a fine solo. And to think it was all recorded in one day! I can’t wait for the tenor’s next disc. - Kevin Jones

together and creates a mesmerising performance. Stripped back to piano and voice on the majority of tracks, the album presents a collection of their own compositions and a number of refreshing arrangements of their most loved jazz standards. Both artists trail in and out of improvisation and structure, exhibiting an instinctive empathy for each other’s musical inclinations. Drawing inspiration from Joni Mitchell and Esperanza Spaulding along the way, Cowlishaw delivers an excellent vocal interpretation of her original composition Vertigo and of Gavin Ahearn’s I Said. Hugh Stuckey on guitar paints a silver lining on the former and Gary Hoffman’s haunting flugelhorn is gold dust on the latter. Their

interpretations of the six well-known standards are extremely successful on the whole with exceptions That Old Feeling and Estate missing the mark at an earnest attempt of originality. It’s been a busy few years for the singer and pianist on the international scene with numerous club and festival performances in Australia, Europe and New Zealand with highlights including the Hemnes Jazz Festival in Norway. Maybe it’s the years they have played together or maybe it’s a mutual understanding on what they most appreciate about making music; either way the performance on this recording speaks for itself. - Barry O’Sullivan

SWINGING ON THE VINE

The Most Beautiful Horn only union scale for the early recordings while Gleason received the considerable royalties on the sales. Fortunately for Hackett, Capitol was able to arrange similar sessions under his own name which provided him with a useful income. From 1953-59 he recorded 10 LPs with strings, such albums as Softy Lights And Bobby Hackett, Night Love, In A Mellow Mood and Dream A While. Recordings apart, for most of 1954 Hackett and Gleason accompanied by a string orchestra appeared at La Vie en Rose, described by Down Beat magazine as “a small and exclusive bistro on E 54th”. Bobby Hackett I lean over the handlebars of my mountain bike, panting and perspiring outside the doorway of my Hunter Valley hideaway watched by a snuffling Big J who looks concerned. Is it about my welfare or his empty wine bowl? I suspect the latter. I am two weeks into my get fit routine after allegations from The Voice that I was developing a gut. It wasn’t always like this. Sipping a glass of chilled red as Big J slurps up a bowl of vintage shiraz I recall those rewarding dinner breaks as a teenage journalist in another life when I would cycle three miles home to hear most of my favourite program on Melbourne commercial radio (3KZ), a jazz-based oasis of superb music. And one of the most rewarding moments was hearing the trumpet or cornet of Bobby Hackett, the “Pied Piper of Mood Music”, cushioned by the string of Jackie Gleason’s Orchestra. Easy listening, that goes without saying, but the melodic musicianship of Hackett’s horn as it caressed romantic ballads are still some of my fondest musical memories. Such as the Harry Warren gem I Only Have Eyes For You from the 1953 album Music For Lovers Only which went gold thanks in no small part to Hackett’s haunting, wistful solos in a seductive setting with an oversized string section. Gleason had first met Hackett during the filming of the 1942 movie Orchestra Wives where he mimed the part of a bass player with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. His parts were played on the soundtrack by Doc Goldberg, the band’s regular bassist. Hackett played the trumpet solos attributed to Robert Montgomery, the film’s star. It was not the first time this had happened: Artie Shaw used him to play the trumpet solos which Fred Astaire mimed in the 1940 movie Second Chorus. Hackett joined Miller’s band on 10 July, 1941 - as a guitarist. Although his lip was in poor shape after dental surgery, he was able to play short solos; they are now collectors’ items, especially those on Serenade In Blue and A String Of Pearls which are the best things on the records. His best known solo is on A String Of Pearls which Hackett had to repeat for the rest of his playing life. He became so tired of it that when recording it during a session with strings in England he played it backwards to break the monotony. Gleason, who admired Hackett’s playing, conceived the idea of featuring him with a large string orchestra in romantic ballads such as But Not For Me, I’m In The Mood For Love, My Funny Valentine and Body And Soul. In 1951 Gleason financed a session which recorded eight tracks and after being turned down by other companies, eventually sold the product to Capitol Records. The 10-inch LP, released as Music for Lovers Only, was an instant hit selling more than half a million copies. Although Hackett was signed exclusively to the label on 1953, a contract which would last until 1960, he received

Dorothy Baker’s novel Young Man With A Horn, supposedly loosely based on the life of Bix Beiderbecke was dramatised as a play on radio in 1940 with Hackett’s cornet playing featured as that of the eponymous hero. A 23-year-old Hackett had played I’m Coming Virginia as a tribute to Bix at Benny Goodman’s legendary 1938 Carnegie Hall concert in New York. Almost 10 years later when the film of the book was in preparation, both the author and Kirk Douglas wanted Hackett. According to Hackett, producer Jerry Wald said, “No, I hear he’s a drunk and unreliable.” Hackett was indignant: “I haven’t touched a drop in six years”. Trust Hollywood; Harry James, whose idol was Louis Armstrong not Bix, got the gig instead of Hackett, the obvious musical choice. The movie was poorer for his absence.

May program highlights Vendy’s ear in these programs. Yet Langgaard made a salutary contribution to Danish music. Sadly, his contemporaries failed to appreciate his genius, and he was doomed to spend his life not quite obtaining the posts to which his musicianship should have entitled him. Where Nielsen was born to a peasant family on the rural island of Funen and felt himself a lifelong outsider to metropolitan Denmark, Langgaard began his life in Copenhagen in a comfortable bourgeois family.

Dieterich Buxtehude

Great Danes

Chamber Soiree - 3 May, 10pm Differing Paths of the 20th Century - 12 May, 10pm For lovers of Danish music, May promises to be a particularly enjoyable month on Fine Music, courtesy of programmer Phil Vendy. Starting with Chamber Soiree, they’ll have the opportunity to hear bass viol sonata by Buxtehude, a trio by Kuhlau, a string quartet by Rued Langgaard, a wind quintet by Nielsen, and the magnificent octet of Niels Gade. Not content with this vertiginous multiplication of ensembles, Phil has included a work for guitar by the contemporary composer, Poul Ruders. Then in Differing Paths of the 20th Century, Nielsen and Langgaard appear again, with Nielsen’s Violin Concerto and another string quartet by Langgaard. The names of Carl Nielsen, considered by some the greatest symphonist of the 20th century, and of Niels Gade, Grand Old Man of the Danish Romantic, are fairly well known. Each rose from modest (in Nielsen’s case, thoroughly bucolic) beginnings and achieved acclaim in his own time, and both their reputations have endured. Less well known is Rued Langgaard, (1893– 1952) whose string quartets have caught Phil

The story of his best-known work is perhaps a metaphor for his career. He wrote Music of the Spheres in 1916. Scored for orchestra, choir, organ, a “distant” orchestra, and a soprano soloist, it is a complex work that contains radical departures, such as the manual plucking of piano strings. But its most daring stroke is to use two orchestras –one “present” and one “distant”. For most orchestral composers and performers, the physical depth of the orchestra, and the ensemble problems it creates, are besetting problems for performers of large works. Music of the Spheres embraced and extended this distance, adding a dimension, literally, to music. Denmark was unimpressed. The work was performed only twice, in Germany. Yet when, a dozen years after his death, and half a century after its composition, it was rediscovered, it was hailed as admirably modern, and possessing the pathfinding style with which Langgaaard’s fellow Danes were finally, and belatedly, prepared to credit him.

Live and Local 26 May, 8pm

Although apparently the first, Langgaard was far from the last composer to name a work Music of the Spheres. The philosophical concept of Musica Universalis – literally, the music of the universe - embodies the belief that the proportional relationships between the motions of the planets were fixed and inherently harmonic. Although Musica Universalis long predated modern science, the Newtonian revolution, which challenged so much existing belief, appeared to reinforce the idea of a harmonic

Eric Ewazen universe, and modern cosmology has not diminished its appeal. Live and Local on 26 May features Music of the Spheres, a concert by Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellows at Casula Powerhouse on 19 July last year. It showcases the winds, and includes two works by the American composer and winds specialist Eric Ewazen. The program culminates in the meaty Beethoven Septet, written on the cusp of the 19th century, and of Beethoven’s “middle”, or “heroic” period. It was a time when large private ensembles along Esterhazy lines were being replaced at fashionable entertainments by compact harmoniemusik bands which often made use of the ability of wind players to stand up and perambulate. Beethoven had used the winds as something of a training ground to prepare himself for his assault on the symphony. The Septet is something of an assay piece to mark the completion of this self-directed apprenticeship.

Patrick Thomas presents 27th May, 1pm

Peter Sculthorpe died in August 2014, and his loss to Australian music is a profound one. Patrick Thomas has the authority to speak to the contribution he made. With the assistance of pianist Tamara-Anna Cislowska, he presents piano works that include Sculthorpe’s salute to the Rose Bay Quadrilles - the first published music to be composed in Australia - and the ever-popular Left Bank Waltz.

perform in the Madrid bullring. He does so well that he is promoted to matador. He makes a triumphal return and he and the gypsy girl, Soleá, publicly declare their love. As the crowd rejoices, a gypsy woman reads Rafael’s palm, sees further success but also predicts death. Juanillo, a mountain outlaw leader known as The Wildcat, arrives. His life as an outlaw began when he killed a man in defence of Soleá’s honour. Soleá tells Father Antón that she really loves Juanillo although she has tender feelings for Rafael. Juanillo confronts Rafael as they both pull knives but Soleá says she will kill herself if Juanillo kills Rafael. Juanillo gives Rafael an option: he must fight six bulls in Seville on the following Sunday. However, if he is not gored to death, Juanillo will kill him. Rafael prepares for the bullfight and scoffs at the dangers awaiting him by declaring that he will kill all six bulls and The Wildcat. In the bullring, Rafael is fatally gored. Juanillo takes Soleá back to the mountains. The townspeople arrive to rescue her. Armed police surround Juanillo and he pleads with one of his followers to shoot him. He dies in Soleá’s arms.

Taxilis, an Indian Prince, whose life Alexander saved, loves Lisaura but cannot approach her. Alexander believes his survival shows he is beloved by the gods. His generals fear he has become a megalomaniac and plot to assassinate him. Roxana is distressed when she hears of this plan; a grateful Alexander decides to marry her. Meanwhile the Indian army attacks and his generals plot an assassination attempt. Loyal Taxilis saves him and Alexander rewards him with the hand of Lisaura.

12:00 JAZZ SKETCHES with Robert Vale

While Golaud is out hunting he encounters a strange girl sitting by a spring in the forest. After repeated urging, she tells him that her name is Mélisande, and she agrees to follow him out of the woods. Golaud writes to his half-brother Pelléas asking for his help in getting his father, the blind king Arkel, to approve of his marriage to Mélisande. But Pelléas and Mélisande develop an intimate relationship, which arouses Golaud’s jealousy. He kills Pelléas, and after the subsequent death of Mélisande, he is convinced that their relationship was innocent.
