EDITOR’S DESK

In this month’s cover story, we talk with Skye McIntosh, the Australian Haydn Ensemble’s vibrant artistic director and violin. The group was established just three short years ago and its rise to prominence has been meteoric. A respected contributor to the late baroque and early classical performance scene, the ensemble has a yearly series at the Opera House’s Utzon room and is ensemble in residence at the Australian National University. Spencer Darby tells us more about this amazing success story. The London Symphony Orchestra arrives in Sydney this month and in timely fashion, Randolph Magri-Overend takes a look at its leader, Valery Gergiev - Russia’s greatest living conductor, and a conductor too of political controversy. Opera Australia’s 2015 program features the familiar - well-known classics Tosca, Traviata, Turandot, Magic Flute, Marriage of Figaro and Faust. But, asks writer Allan Scott-Rogers, are there any surprises? Page 8 for the answers to that one. Fine Music 102.5’s support of youth, which is made possible thanks to patrons, has seen oboist Ennes Mehmedbasic awarded the Young Virtuoso title, recorder player Alicia Crossley win the Kruger Scholarship, and most recently Newcastle music student Christopher Pantelidis “come out of nowhere” to take the station’s Young Composer Award. (See page 12.) His winning work The Southern Cross will be premiered (as part of his prize) by the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Paul Fitzsimon at the Concourse Chatswood during their “Amadeus – Classical Mozart and Bach” concert on Sunday 16 November at 2pm. So, a great concert and a fascinating premiere at a wonderful venue. See you there? It would be fair to say that all 300 volunteers and staff of Fine Music were sad to farewell Liz Terracini who heads west to take up a post in tertiary education. Acknowledging her role, station Chairman Peter Kurti said, “Liz has been a very popular general manager and is highly regarded in the arts. She successfully directed a period of massive change that saw the station construct new state of the art broadcast studios and re-brand from 2MBS to Fine Music 102.5.” David Sidebottom has been appointed as interim general manager, charged with the happy task of spearheading Fine Music’s 40th anniversary celebrations.

CONTEMPORARY CONDUCTORS VALERY GERGIEV

He occasionally uses a toothpick for a baton, often performs in a Nehru-style black suit and hardly ever appears in public clean-shaven. But whenever the name of Valery Gergiev is mentioned there is a whiff of controversy in the air. This is not surprising considering he is a champion of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions in the Ukraine, has applauded the suppression of activist band Pussy Riot and continues to support the Russian government’s attitude towards gays.

The stint with the LSO in Australia however, is probably his last overseas hurrah with the orchestra. At the end of 2015 he succeeds Lorin Maazel as principal conductor of the Munich Philharmonic but, following some recent comments in the media, there appears to be some disquiet in Germany about his appointment. German sources have reacted negatively to reports of audiences in London returning their tickets to concerts in which Gergiev and his pianist of choice, Denis Matsuev, were performing. Matsuev incidentally is also the soloist playing the Rachmaninov and Prokofiev piano concertos in the LSO tour of Australia. He, together with Gergiev and other Russian cultural icons, proclaimed in a recent statement: “adamant support for the position of the Russian Federation towards Ukraine and Crimea.”

He is a very good pianist but “inside him there is a conductor.

“

Despite all this, Gergiev’s musical credentials remain impressive. Raised in North Ossetia he studied the piano at the Leningrad Conservatory

between 1972 and 1977. His teacher, Ilya Musin, said of him at the time: “He is a very good pianist but inside him there is a conductor.” The prediction proved correct when Gergiev was appointed assistant conductor at the Kirov Opera (now the Mariinsky Opera) the following year. It was there that he made his conducting debut with Prokofiev’s War and Peace and following his appointment as chief conductor of the Armenian Philharmonic, performed with them in the United Kingdom in 1985 at the Lichfield Festival. But his first performance with a European orchestra had to wait until 1991 when he conducted the Bavarian State Opera in Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov followed almost immediately by his American debut in San Francisco.

self-respecting contest “ ..nowould take place again

It is his energetic expansion of Mariinsky “culturalism” that continues to catch the musical eye. In 1996 he was appointed by the Russian government as its overall director and since then has worked tirelessly in renovating the theatre. That, naturally, brought him in contact with Vladimir Putin and Gergiev has never made any secret of his admiration for the Russian President. He is quoted as saying that Putin is one of the few politicians in the world who cares and shows great support for culture. Among the many innovations Gergiev has achieved with the Mariinsky is the 2003 performance of Wagner’s Ring cycle. It was the first performance staged in Russia for 90 years and was followed by the production, lock stock and barrel, performing in Cardiff, California and Seattle in 2006 and the Lincoln Centre in New York in 2007 where it played to sold-out houses.

Gergiev’s discography is vast, albeit dominated by his love of Russian music. He has also recently completed live recordings with the LSO of all the Mahler symphonies plus the Adagio from his unfinished 10th. Gergiev’s recording of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet with the LSO was the winner of the orchestral category and voted the Disc of the Year in 2011 by the BBC Music Magazine.

behind closed doors.

“

Have his political stands affected his musical career? No, not at all…except perhaps for the likelihood of public outbursts at his concerts. He is just as popular and in demand as ever and, discounting the Russian corporate oligarchs, his personal wealth is third in line after tennis player Maria Sharapova and singersongwriter Grigory Leps. But these days he is more circumspect about burning the candle at both ends. Not so long ago he conducted three orchestras in three different countries in the space of 24 hours. Aged 61, he is now content to be the principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra (which will be performing, with Gergiev in Sydney and Melbourne this month), and remain active with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the World Orchestra for Peace (founded by Sir Georg Solti) and the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.

He became, in 2011, the chairperson of the International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition and, in a fit of reformist zeal, immediately replaced the judges who had been recruited from academia by notable performers. He also announced that the competition would be streamed live on the internet and that judges would be encouraged to speak their minds. It prompted well-known journalist and critic Norman Lebrecht to observe that Gergiev had changed the music world for the better and that no “self-respecting contest (would) take place again behind closed doors.”

Finally, the over-riding question in your mind is why conduct with a toothpick? Who knows? Perhaps he has an over-riding urge for dental hygiene while conducting! - Randolph Magri-Overend On Air – Friday 21 November 2pm-4pm Contemporary Conductors - Valery Gergiev November 2014

FROM FAMILIAR TO THE UNEXPECTED AUSTRALIAN HAYDN ENSEMBLE

The ensemble’s Artistic Director and founding member, Skye McIntosh, is the driving force behind the group. Already established as a vital contributor to the country’s baroque and early classical music scene through the launch of the Australian Haydn Ensemble, McIntosh is an energetic entrepreneurial and creative force. Her future plans include developing a regular national and international touring schedule for the group. McIntosh’s own attraction to period instruments began a decade ago when she was studying at the Royal Academy in England. “The Academy offered the option to take on baroque violin as a second instrument. I 4

hadn’t really ever thought about playing on period instruments at that time, but one of my colleagues encouraged me to try it. I had some lessons with Simon Standage and also had the chance to work with Catherine Mackintosh and Monica Huggett as part of the Academy programs. I felt intrigued by their down to earth approach to music making and quickly fell in love with the sound of the gut strings. I also liked the challenge of rediscovering music from the baroque and classical era in a new way. Over the next five years or so as I was involved in various baroque and classical projects such as the Britten Pears Young Artist baroque program, Dartington Festival and Southbank Sinfonia where I had the opportunity to work with many other great baroque specialists including Richard Egarr and Elizabeth Wallfisch.”

response from audiences “…the has been overwhelming…the rewards are multiple.

“

The Australian Haydn Ensemble burst onto the Australian music scene in late 2011. With a focus on stylistically informed late baroque and early classical performance, its rise has been nothing short of meteoric. They have launched their own successful yearly series at the Sydney Opera House Utzon Room, are currently ensemble in residence at the Australian National University, Canberra, and earlier this year toured in the USA.

It was only upon her return home that she decided to really commit more seriously to the period. Since then she has completed a master of music in baroque and classical violin on a full

scholarship at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and become a regular member of the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and Pinchgut Opera. In between, she spends the majority of her time on the planning and development of the AHE and performing. “The group has really taken off and the response from audiences has been overwhelming. It’s a lot of work to start up any group, but the rewards are multiple. I feel constantly inspired and revitalised by the enthusiasm of people who have offered their help and support for what we are doing. It is completely amazing.” Despite its young age, the ensemble has already undertaken a number of artistic development residencies here and overseas, most recently at the Julliard School of Music in New York where they performed Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet with world-renowned clarinettist Charles Neidich. “That was a wonderful experience for us. We were very humbled to be playing with this artist who has performed and recorded that particular piece with almost every one of the great quartets of our time.” Aside from this they have also recently been in residence at

from around the world to lead the group as guest artists. Included in this enviable line-up in late December 2014 is guest director, violinist Catherine Mackintosh (UK). An authority and household name in the world of baroque violin, she has led the Academy of Ancient Music for more than a decade, and released dozens of celebrated recordings with prestigious ensembles such as The King’s Consort and The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Mackintosh will lead a special program at the Sydney Opera House Utzon Room in celebration of C P E Bach’s 300th anniversary featuring his amazing double concerto for harpsichord and fortepiano, performed by Erin Helyard and Neal Peres Da Costa as well as the a minor cello concerto with ACO cellist Daniel Yeadon as soloist.

the wonderful Bundanon Trust centre (NSW) and last year at the Banff Centre in Canada.

“ ..we love it, we make it work.

A small core of committed specialist musicians forms the bones of the ensemble. Some are based in Australia and others live and work overseas. McIntosh, when asked about the challenges of fostering a cohesive atmosphere amongst the roving virtuosos, points to their collective understanding and knowledge of one another both in and outside the ensemble and their willingness to work in intensive stints for periods of up to three months as factors that give them their musical edge. “Working in this way has its challenges, but at the end of the day, we love it, so we make it work.”

for people to have a chance to hear the work again, even in their own homes, when radios, CDs and Spotify didn’t exist!”

…an authentic “ 18th century idiom…

“

One of the unique elements of the group is that they not only perform repertoire with stylistic sensitivity, and on instruments of the 18th century, but they also present repertoire that reflects ensemble trends of that era. One of these trends is chamber versions of wellknown symphonic works by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. “There is a lot of research and thought that goes into our planning,” says McIntosh. “I try to seek out new and interesting ways of presenting music that audiences know as well as works that they might not have heard. So far, people have loved it! Last year we presented a fantastic chamber arrangement of Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony by a composer named Cimador from around 1800. The arrangement is scored for two violins, two violas and cello plus double bass, flute and ad lib keyboard. At the time, it was a great way for composers’ works to be popularised in countries where they weren’t so well known, or

Another esteemed guest, who has performed with the group a number of times, is Canadian violinist Marc Destrubé - a world-renowned solo violinist, chamber player, concertmaster and teacher. He is the co-concertmaster of Franz-Bruggen’s Orchestra of the 18th century and also worked as concertmaster under Sir Simon Rattle, the recently deceased Christopher Hogwood and Philippe Herreweghe to name a few. Destrubé will return in 2015 to lead a thrilling all Haydn program featuring three of his earliest symphonies “Le Matin”, “Le Midi” and “Le Soir”.

“

Double bassist, Jacqueline Dossor, originally from Sydney but now based in the UK, is one of those who manages the divide between northern and southern hemispheres. Performing with such groups as the English Chamber Orchestra, English National Ballet and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, she loves returning home to perform with the ensemble. So too does Alice Evans, formerly a member of the Australian Chamber Orchestra and an AHE founding member, she has recently relocated to the UK where she performs with the Academy of Ancient Music and the Orchestra of the Age of the Enlightenment. Despite the geographical challenges, both players are highly committed to the group. Other members are mainly local and include Australian Brandenburg principal flautist Melissa Farrow. Next year, the ensemble welcomes, more regularly as a guest artist, superstar keyboard specialist Erin Helyard.

McIntosh revels in the opportunity to immerse audiences in by-gone cultures in a way that conjures an essence of the “real” person, be it a composer, a musician or an audience member of the time. She suggests that for audiences “it makes it more real, as if they were going back in time.” While discussing the 2015 program, McIntosh reflects on her commitment to present an authentic 18th century idiom: “Next year we will present a symphonic program that reflects Haydn’s original orchestral size at Esterházy of just 13 to 17 musicians. It’s very exciting to be able to do this with an orchestra that mirrors what Haydn would have been working with. Often it’s not what people today have come to expect.” The Australian Haydn Ensemble not only provides a platform for some of this country’s finest period players, but they attract luminaries

With the self-assurance as an ensemble now well established on the cultural map, the Australian Haydn Ensemble promises a 2015 season that brings to the fore all the passion, intensity and intimacy that audiences expect in the best of chamber performance. Its season ranges from the familiar, as they continue a cycle of Beethoven piano concertos with renowned historical keyboardist Peres Da Costa, to the unexplored, as they embark upon a little-known, seldom performed arrangement of Haydn’s iconic Creation featuring awardwinning Opera Australia soprano Taryn Fiebig. The boldness that it took to launch this distinguished ensemble from rehearsalroom conversation to a fifth consecutive year of engagements, underpins the energy, drive and devotion of this magnificent group. Next season promises a divine offering of carefully selected arrangements of works audiences can’t afford to miss. - Spencer Darby

audiences, and Kate is tremendously successful. She’s this crossover artist in the best possible way. She’s singing at The Met, sang for us at the 2015 launch, she’s doing Tamworth, Mackay; she’s almost a prototype of the 21st Century Artist: involved in so many areas and extremely intelligent. Just a wonderful musician who writes these songs, they are so beautiful! So poignant. I think audiences, new audiences particularly will respond to it.

Aida – 2015 Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour

Opera Australia’s 2015 season sees some well-known classics return: Tosca, Traviata, Turandot, Magic Flute, Marriage of Figaro, even Faust, but are there any surprises? Allan Scott-Rogers sits down with OA Artistic Director, Lyndon Terracini to find out. So, any surprises? Yes there are. Don Carlos! It is so massive and takes a lot of resources, but it’s something I believe the company needs to do. We need to do the big classic repertoire. That’s fundamentally what the great art galleries do, and we can compare that to an opera company presenting the big classic repertoire. Ideally we’d like to do more challenging pieces but at the moment we can’t afford it. Our current subsidy is something like 25 percent of our total budget. The big European opera houses, who often don’t do nearly as much as we do; 85 percent of their budget comes from government. So we’ve got to sell a lot of tickets. We played over 700 performances last year around Australia and we took $51 million at the box office. So that’s massive numbers, but if one thing goes wrong you can miss the box office by 1 percent and that can cost us $1 million. We’re always walking a financial 6

tightrope, but right now we have found a way to have wonderful singers, directors and conductors, some of the greatest artists in the world, literally, who are here in some of the most wonderful productions. There’s this big commitment we have made to Sir David McVicar to do the da Ponte cycle, Don Giovanni we did this year and Figaro in 2015, it’s huge. Then doing something like Faust, it’s really what we’ve been aiming for since I arrived four and a half years ago. I think at this point in time we are happy about where we are sitting, and now we want to go to the next stage! Part of that is commissioning pieces like The Rabbits, which is such a beautiful work, and one which I think audiences will respond to. Kate Miller-Heidke is extraordinarily talented and Iain Grandage is really special. It’s also such an Australian piece. The Rabbits are a metaphor for the European invasion of Australia. People are going to see the beautiful costumes and beautiful staging by Gabriela Tylesova. We’re hoping it will be very, very successful. How do you choose a work such as Rabbits? Well, it is not part of our core business but I believe it is important for us to do it, because we need to find new audiences and younger

With Don Carlos, has that been performed here recently at all? No, no we haven’t done it for about 20 years. It’s very, very difficult to do. You don’t do it unless you’ve got one of the great King Phillips, and Ferruccio Furlanetto is one of the greatest King Phillips alive. He’s almost legendary now, he has that status. We’ll have other fabulous singers. The cast is very strong! And I know that with a great conductor, the orchestra and the whole company are very, very excited about it. We’ve got 18 principal singers on stage. You know, in an opera, that’s pretty massive. It’s also some of the most wonderful music you will ever hear. How long is it since Faust has been done here? We haven’t done Faust for many, many years. I remember the last time I saw it was in the Elizabethan Theatre in Newtown, so that was in the very early 70s. Once again it is difficult to do, and you need great singers, and you need to have a great production. You really need a big show! And that’s what we’ve got planned. The production itself is just wonderful. I think the audiences are going to like the production, and in turn appreciate the work so much more. Teddy Tahu-Rodes plays Mephistopheles, is he a big draw card? I was speaking to Teddy a couple of years ago and my feeling was that he’s much more of a bass-baritone now than he used to be, and it was really about finding repertoire that he felt comfortable with. In our winter season, he sang in the role of Don Giovanni which is really a bass-baritone, and he sang that very well. So this role will sit very well with him in terms of where he is in his vocal development. It’s a great thing for Teddy to be able to do, as it is

for Nicole Car and Giorgio Caoduro. It will just be fabulous. And Michael Fabiano is one of the great tenors around now. The big aria he sings with a big high C in the middle, it’ll be really, really wonderful. This is about finding the best people we can possibly find, that we can afford, and then we can do these operas. If we didn’t get these really great singers the shows just wouldn’t sound as great. Was steering away from classic operatic drama and bringing in musicals also your idea? I brought South Pacific in because I wanted to do the classic musicals again. The good musicals, I think, are better than a lot of operas. South Pacific premiered in 1949 and was a big success. And it is still a big success! It remains just as relevant to today’s audience as it did then. I can’t think of any opera that was written in 1949 that anyone plays these days. I think that’s a problem with the “form” itself. We’ve got to have new repertoire and expand it, which is the reason that we’re doing The Rabbits. We’ve got to try to find pieces that will become genuinely part of the repertoire that we can build on and use. Anything Goes coming in 2015 is a great example of that. Everyone knows the songs. Ezio Pinza was the first Emile de Becque (South Pacific), so for us it was logical to have Teddy. In fact if Teddy wasn’t available, I wasn’t going to do it. The production worked incredibly well for us and turned out to be the biggest selling show of our subscription series. So that shows people do respond to great music, great writers and great songs. The King and I did incredibly well…again it is a classic work, a classic piece, and we’ve got to find the new classics in the operatic repertoire. Pieces that people genuinely want to come and see. Not just a

few people in a club, but a piece that will play to thousands. That’s part of my goal over the next few years to really try and develop works, as far as we can, and ones that audiences will respond to. Are there any singers that you’d really like to work with? Yeah! There are some terrific singers. Hopefully Jonas Kaufmann will be coming back, I’m more keen on finding singers that aren’t really famous at this point in time. We’ve found a lot of them, and we’re developing Australian singers, people like Jane Ede, a tremendous singer. Nicole Car was the first singer I hired, and she’s really having a lot of success. The people in Giovanni like Shane Lowrencev. He was singing bit bass parts so we’ve developed him, and Taryn Fiebig who is now really a wonderful artist, and of

course John Longmuir. I hired him as a young artist. Being part of all that development is really exciting and ideally you need to guide them through that so that they do well. There’s a lot of responsibility attached to doing that with young singers and young artists. So everything we’re doing is steps we take to get closer to the audience: the Handa Opera on the Harbour, the community choirs, our indigenous productions with a big show in Yarrabah, which is a project we’ll do again in 2016, but we will never get away from the fact that the core opera repertoire remains the big Italian and French operas. Then at the pointy end of the pyramid we have The Ring, The Rabbits, we’re doing a TV opera with Elena Kats-Chernin and Joanna Murray-Smith, but I’d also like to expand that pointy end to include Russian Opera. The company has never really done any of that and there are some wonderful pieces there, but at the moment we can’t afford them. We have to find some more money. Once we do that, it is really then that we’ll have the complete experience. As I’ve said before, like a great art gallery you see the great masters, you see the contemporary painters - you get a complete perspective of what that art form is about. So the word is there is a huge surprise to come with Aida on the Harbour next year. Are you going to tell me what that is? No, I can’t! It needs to be a surprise, but when it happens it’ll be WOOOOH! Ok then….I tried! - Allen Scott-Rogers

YOUNG VIRTUOSI YOUNG COMPOSER OF THE YEAR 2014 “He came out of nowhere,” said adjudicator Julie Simonds of this year’s Fine Music 102.5/ Willoughby Symphony Orchestra Young Composer of the Year Christopher Pantelidis. Nevertheless, the unheard of rising star of composition managed to draw the unanimous approval of Simonds and her co-judges, composers Lyal Chan and Adelaide Coles. The Young Composer win has earned Pantelidis, a first year composition student at the Newcastle Conservatorium of Music, the privilege of having his work The Southern Cross premiered by the respected Willoughby Symphony Orchestra under exciting young conductor Paul Fitzsimon. Like many poets and musicians before him, Pantelidis took inspiration from the Southern Cross constellation after which the piece is named and he will, he says, take great pride in its performance. “This is the first time that a work that I’ve written will be performed professionally and that’s very exciting – it means a lot to me. I’m looking forward to working with the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra. As a composer, what I can learn from the experience of working with a professional group will be invaluable. I am very humbled to be given the opportunity.”

Association and the Sydney Conservatorium when he was granted the prestigious Frank Hutchens Scholarship.

Simonds was impressed with Pantelidis’ skill in writing for strings - the competition required a piece to be composed for solo violin, strings and percussion. “In The Southern Cross Christopher certainly shows that he knows what he’s doing in string writing - the mixture of marimba, strings and solo violin blends so beautifully, it is just splendid.”

The Southern Cross will be performed during the Willoughby Symphony’s concert at The Concourse Chatswood “Amadeus – Classical Mozart and Bach” on Sunday 16 November at 2pm.

Soon after winning the award, Pantelidis’ gift was acknowledged by the Music Teachers

The Young Composer APRA encouragement award went to Roman Benedict Jumping the Groove. The piece he said was inspired by the “hot” jazz of Stéphane Grappelli and his Quintette du Hot Club du France.

Christopher Pantelidis A first year student of composition and creative production student at the Newcastle Conservatorium of Music, Pantelidis was born and raised in Canberra. He moved to Newcastle

to develop his skills as a composer and to pursue his ambition of making a living from musical composition Graduating year 12 in 2012 from Hawker College, Pantelidis received Honours for his pre-tertiary studies in Oboe at the Australian National University’s “Type 1” Secondary University Music Program. In the same year he was also recognised for his outstanding achievements in music with a prestigious award from the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies for Excellence in the Performing Arts. He has also been an active member as Principal Oboist in several ensembles. These have included the Canberra Youth Orchestra, The Instrumental Music Program Senior Concert Band and the Canberra Wind Ensemble. His skills as a composer have also been recognised. In 2014 Pantelidis received the University of Newcastle Friends of the School of Music Scholarship. This scholarship was awarded for his exemplary preparation and professionalism for his audition - a trait which has served him well since moving to Newcastle. Since moving Pantelidis has become Principal Oboist for the city’s Youth Orchestra, Orchestra Nova, Orchestra Newcastle and the University of Newcastle Wind Ensemble. Pantelidis’ passion for composition stems from his interest in film music and its ability to touch the hearts of an audience and spark their imaginations. His writing emulates this programmatic style, containing rich harmonies, memorable melodies and colourful instrument combinations. This love of music and its capacity as an emotional medium is a main source of inspiration in Christopher’s compositions and is something he hopes to continue to develop in the future.

YOUNG ORGANISTS PIPE UP The organ - the undisputed king of all the instruments - a mighty addition to cathedrals across the country, can often be quite a difficult instrument to approach. Even the older, most devoted fans of classical music can find the organ’s expansive sound a bit much at times. But what of the younger generation? In these days of all-powerful smartphones, music readily available, and an ever-increasing amount of time spent playing video games, how does the age-old pipe organ maintain its relevance? And in an age where fewer and fewer young people are visiting locations where these instruments exist - there’s a good chance many young people won’t even see one throughout their childhood and adolescence, let alone hear one played in full flight. This is what makes the

LOVE &DEATH COMEDY &TRAGEDY GRÉTRY & VIVALDI PINCHGUT 2015

PINCHGUT IS THRILLED TO PRESENT TWO GREAT OPERATIC MASTERPIECES – A TRAGEDY AND A COMEDY – IN 2015. In winter we present Vivaldi’s passionate and powerful Bajazet. Weaving together arias by his colleagues and his own freshly composed numbers, Vivaldi has fashioned a sublime tragedy with amazing virtuosic arias, heartfelt lyricism, defeat, betrayal, love, lust and poison. Our summer season features Grétry’s brilliant comic masterpiece L’Amant Jaloux (The Jealous Lover). This hugely successful opera, heard and admired by Mozart during his sojourn in France, began a new kind of French musical drama. Glorious orchestral colours and wickedly witty ensemble pieces reveal striking musical and dramatic ideas, embracing the daring new ideals of the Enlightenment, while laying bare the innermost thoughts and feelings of the characters in a way that would inspire Mozart’s partnership with his librettist da Ponte. Mistaken identity, mysterious strangers, duels and a happy ending! Pinchgut’s 2015 season consolidates and continues our vision: to bring to audiences glorious, unusual operatic experiences combining passion with technical and scholarly excellence.

FAREWELL PAPA HAYDN kind of poeticism which we associate with Beethoven and which Beethoven must have picked up from the old master during the short – and often fractious – time that he studied with him.

On Wednesday 12 November I will be presenting the 62nd and final episode in our long-running series on the symphonies of Joseph Haydn. It has been, as far as I can discover, the only time that a radio station has attempted to play all 107 of his symphonies chronologically and when programmer Chris Blower floated the idea, personally I thought he was quite mad. However it has turned out to be a most enlightening exercise and has given listeners, I hope, an opportunity to hear how Haydn’s style progressed over the nearly 40 years of symphonic composition. So what did we learn? Haydn’s symphonies appeared on the scene at a time when music was undergoing a radical transformation. In 1750 J S Bach died. In 1800 Beethoven’s 1st Symphony was premiered. In between these dates Haydn composed, taking advantage of the shifting focal point of musical activity from the church to the palaces of the nobility. With this change came also a change in musical values. Poetic expressiveness began to creep in, as did unorthodox techniques and Haydn swiftly became a master at superseding the old formality of structure and rigidity of style that had been the tradition. It is for this that history refers to him as the Father of the Symphony, though strictly speaking of course this isn’t quite true. Composers like Carl Stamitz and others of the Mannheim School had been producing three-movement works

for orchestra which they called symphonies for some time before Haydn arrived. As those who have listened to the whole series can confirm, Haydn developed slowly. Had he died as young as Mozart or Schubert, he would most likely be remembered, if indeed remembered at all - as a run-of-the-mill 18th century journeyman. It wasn’t until his 40th year that he really began writing the works that resulted in him being remembered and idolised to this day. Who can possibly forget his Farewell Symphony – No 45 in F sharp minor, his musical jab at his patron Prince Esterhazy for not allowing the musicians sufficient holiday time? Haydn from that time on was constantly experimenting and changing, initially much to the annoyance of his patron, who, luckily, was broad-minded enough to allow his Court Kapellmeister relatively free rein. He was always trying to break down what he called “the mechanical regulations” and trying to find new ways of expressing himself in music. Amazingly he confided in a friend shortly before his death in 1809: “I have only just learned in my old age how to use the wind instruments, and now that I do understand them, I must leave the world.” Humour and mischief marked many of his later compositions. These are perhaps the qualities that we associate most with Haydn’s music. But at the same time there is, if you consider some of the slow movements of his symphonies, a

Haydn benefitted greatly from two situations which were not given to many other composers. Firstly he had the patronage of a wealthy nobleman for more than 30 years, and secondly that patronage involved living and working far from the Austrian capital. Tucked away in the countryside at Eisenstadt, he had none of the distractions of living in a big city and his time was spent almost exclusively in composition and experimentation. As his experiments grew in size, so did the size of the orchestra at his command, for Prince Esterhazy was a generous and shrewd patron. Of course it wasn’t only symphonies that he wrote, because, like Bach before him, he was compelled to write works on an almost weekly basis to fulfil the various obligations of his employment. So there came as well a flood of quartets, trios, divertimentos, serenades, concertos, sonatas, operas and masses. As Haydn himself explained it: “Cut off as I was from the world, there was no one to confuse me and torment me and I was forced to become original.” He was eventually to become one of the greatest, if not the greatest, composer of his time, his fame spreading first through Austria, then to Paris, London, Amsterdam and Madrid. But fame never corrupted him and by all accounts he never forgot his humble origins. “I have associated with kings and many great ones,” he said late in life, “and have received from their lips much flattery. But I have never wished to live on a level of intimacy with them, for I had rather hold to the people of my own station.” Haydn died on the last day of May 1809 and was mourned throughout Austria. Napoleon, who had invaded the country at that time, ordered a special guard of honour be placed at his house and had his senior officers escort the coffin to its resting place. A fortnight later Mozart’s Requiem was sung in his honour – a final tribute and one which he would probably have most appreciated. And he left us with some of the greatest music ever to have been written and it’s been a real pleasure to have been able to bring it to our listeners on Fine Music 102.5. - Michael Morton-Evans November 2014

FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS ERNEST HUTCHESON

The year before, in Berlin on 26th October, Ernest had premiered his Piano Concerto in E major Op.6 to high critical acclaim.

In the Melbourne Town Hall on 5th May 1877, a five year-old boy knelt on a piano stool and performed entirely from memory a recital that included the 1st movement of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Op.49/2 and a composition of his own that contained numerous modulations.

He was appointed Senior Professor of Piano Playing at the Peabody Institute Conservatory in Baltimore in 1900 where his focus became pedagogical. His “The Elements of Piano Technique” was published in 1907, and in 1911 he gave five lecture-recitals at the Conservatory on the most important piano literature from the 17th century onwards. His piano compositions from this time included the Nocturne Op.11 and 3 Pieces Op.12.

Probably with the boy’s future in mind, Ernest was placed in the care of the Reverend George William Torrance (the first person conferred D.Mus. by Melbourne University) with whom he resided and from whom he received music lessons. Before long it was clear that the best way to enhance Ernest’s talent was to have him undergo development at a reputable institution overseas. Money was a problem so he needed a scholarship. As one of the youngest of 656 candidates at the Royal College of Music, London in 1886 Ernest made it to the final cut but the piano scholarships were granted to three girls. That year Ernest was accepted into the Leipzig Conservatorium where he composed a Piano Sonata in February which he premiered at that institution a year later.

a piece of music after having played it twice. Shortly before 8 a.m. on 27th May Ernest arrived in Melbourne aboard the R.M.S. Victoria to begin his only tour of Australia. Performing mainly in Melbourne but also giving concerts in Adelaide, Sydney, Newcastle and regional Victoria he was well received but it was clear to him that his future lay overseas and after giving a farewell recital at the Melbourne Town Hall on 25th May, 1892 he boarded the R.M.S. Massilia 10 days later to return to Leipzig to begin studies with Bernhard Stavenhagen.

couple eloped to “ …the London on Ernest’s birthday.

“

Worse was to follow. Ernest’s parents had a serious break-up that Christmas Eve, and the matter of custody was brought before the Chief Justice on 11th January of the following year. It was revealed that his parents were unmarried and according to the law, custody was granted to the woman. After the verdict Ernest was dragged from his father kicking and screaming.

..he performed the “entire Book 1 of Bach’s

Ernest premiered his Violin Sonata in Leipzig on 26th May, 1893 then toured Munich, Vienna and Budapest with violinist Willy Burmester in 1896.

In 1888 he composed a Piano Trio and performed the entire Book 1 of Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier from memory. His routine was to practise piano for five hours per day and he had the remarkable ability to memorise

In the following year, he and Countess Irmgart Hildegard Elizabeth Senfft von Pilsach, a capable pianist, became engaged but her family resisted the wedding. So the couple eloped to London on Ernest’s birthday in 1899 where they were married at St. Peter’s Church in Hampstead 10 days later.

Well Tempered Clavier from memory.

At Aeolian Hall, New York on 4th December, 1915 Ernest was soloist in the 1st Piano Concerti of Tchaikovsky and Liszt, and the 2nd Piano Concerto by MacDowell. Amongst those in the audience to witness this astonishing feat were Harold Bauer, Katharine Goodson, Leopold Godowsky, Percy Grainger and Josef Hofmann. At the same venue on 11th November four years later Ernest was the soloist in the Piano Concerti nos. 3, 4 & 5 by Beethoven.

compositions “...many ofwereErnest’s destroyed..

“

Born in a barely furnished house in Carlton on 20th July, 1871 Ernest Hutcheson, proclaimed as “the Australian Mozart”, was able to name any conventional scale or chord whilst blindfolded. His father gave up his blacksmith’s trade to parade his eldest son in concerts in and around Melbourne but by September 1877 was insolvent.

Ernest had a holiday hut with no telephone in a remote fishing village in Chautauqua which he allowed George Gershwin to use in mid 1925 so he could remain out of public scrutiny after coming under contractual pressure to complete his Piano Concerto. In 1926 Ernest premiered his own Fantasia Concerto for two pianos and orchestra with Guy Maier and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Having been a member of the staff of the Julliard School of Music since 1924, Ernest became Dean in 1927 but upon his resignation in 1945 his successor, William Schuman, took a heavy-handed approach to the task by ordering a complete clean-out and restructuring. It is most likely that many of Ernest’s compositions were destroyed in the process. Predeceased by his wife, Ernest died in his 5th Avenue apartment on the night of 9th February, 1951. The longest acknowledgement by Australian newspapers was in the Broken Hill Barrier Times with 47 words. - Stephen Pleskun November 2014

and guitarist Sol Rubin, she reprises songs from about 1910 to the 1920s when sheet music was the guide to the most popular tunes. One number which has had me humming it since hearing Cole sing it is Whip-poor-will, a melody from my childhood. Two numbers treated differently are Limehouse Blues and After You’ve Gone, which were usually uptempo jam session vehicles in the Swing Era; the former is taken at a smoky midtempo, and Cole is assured and relaxed as she scats her way through the latter. But they are just two of the many surprises: Do You Ever Think Of Me, introduced by Paul Whiteman in 1921, is another, beginning as a voice-drum duet above Paul Stewart’s brushwork. Block impresses, his tenor stylings ranging from the big-toned sound of Coleman Hawkins to the cooler I have been waiting some time for this award winning album (Japan’s Swing Journal magazine) but it has been worth it. I enjoyed pianist Eddie Higgins’ album with Scott Hamilton (My Foolish Heart, Venus VHCD 78007) so much, I explored the bountiful riches in the Japanese label’s catalogue looking for more. This is the result: a superior set of ballads and burners by two of mainstream jazz’s finest reed soloists in top form anchored by Higgins’ admirable trio. Hamilton has been teamed with fellow tenor saxophonist Harry Allen in the recent past with admirable results; here he joins Ken Peplowski in tandem and the results are just as good especially when Peplowski’s clarinet is featured against Hamilton’s tenor whose tone is fuller and heavier. This is mainstream jazz string arrangements hint at the darkness which surrounded the legendary Lady Day’s tragic life. The result: one of the finest versions of Gershwin’s greatest standard (the title track) ever recorded. And of course she makes Jerome Kern’s The Folks Who Live On The Hill her very own. If this album is the logical one to explore Lee’s singing for the uninitiated, Things Are Swinging should be next. Backed by the orchestra of conductor, arranger and guitarist Jack Marshall, who was one of the heavyweight producers at Capitol during the late 1950s and early 1960s, Lee is at her peak on such fare as Cole Porter’s Ridin’ High, which until Lee I had only heard as a killer diller by Benny Goodman playing a Jimmy Mundy arrangement, and another Swing Era favourite Lullaby In Rhythm

of the highest order but what of the future? Higgins is already gone, a victim of cancer, and Hamilton and Peplowski are now veterans, both in demand for jazz parties and festivals. But where is the next generation to follow them? I fear for this genre’s future so an album like this should be treasured. I recall the comment that “they were not doing anything new” by a so-called hipster many years ago, again when hearing a now classic 1950s recording date by Duke Ellington’s great alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges. They are not doing anything new here either but the results speak for themselves classy but not over recorded standards such as the title track, A Portrait Of Jenny and Flamingo.

Cislowska steps us through it all, the affecting atmosphere of Djilile, the gay Rose Bay Quadrilles, his wistful finale Riverina, always revealing things that mattered to him, and imbued his music with a level of inspiration that may surprise us. of successive Habsburg monarchs. The best of the music includes that very happy Berlioz concert overture, Carnival Romain, the tone poem Mazeppa by Liszt, and a work not often performed, the Burleske for piano and orchestra by Richard Strass where the pianist is the accomplished Lang Lang. In addition the dramatic Berlioz Benvenuto Cellini overture is also listed. The creative relationship between Richard Strauss and the Vienna Philharmonic is very apparent - he and the orchestra engaged in ninety eight concerts and five foreign tours. To celebrate that fact, in addition to the Burleske, the ever popular Till Eulenspiegel shows off an orchestra displaying huge enjoyment in a sparkling performance. The effervescent Furioso-Polka by Johann II brings to an end a wonderfully stimulating concert from a fine

This release from record label Naïve is the latest in their almost-finished Vivaldi collection. The project, which launched in 2000, sees the company hoping to record Vivaldi’s entire autographed catalogue by 2015 - upwards of 450 titles. This fifth volume in the Violin Concerti collection, is subtitled “Per Pisendel”. The seven concerti on this recording were all originally dedicated to the phenomenal violinist, Johann Georg Pisendel, who was in the employ of Electoral Prince of Saxony Friedrich August. A prolonged trip to Venice in 1716 saw the famed soloist cross paths with the prolific composer, and a friendship was formed. Russian violinist Dmitry Sinkovsky is

Glimpses caught in a life: the land and seascapes Sculthorpe sought to protect; tales of people who passed through them; keyboard fragments and sketches marking each step he took; spanning a time period that many of us will share, perhaps finding some connection we never suspected to the things that moved him. The accompanying booklet includes them all, with every note marking a point we can return to and start over. CDs sometimes leave you feeling short-changed. This double set offers so much from one gifted composer and one dedicated pianist, you would hardly know where to start, without Falling Leaves to lead you off. - Phil Vendy

orchestra directed by Christoph Eschenbach. There’s excellent value in this very enjoyable recording which is also available as a DVD. - Emyr Evans

enjoying a rapidly growing reputation for his baroque interpretations and with this disc, it is easy to understand why. Sinkovsky possesses a clean, pristine sound, dancing in front of the orchestral timbre. Don’t think this is a sanitised Vivaldi by any means, Sinkovsky plays with an unadulterated raw edge at times, especially in his exceptionally virtuosic cadenzas. Of particular note is the extremely dexterous first Allegro from Concerto RV 212a. The accompanying baroque band is also in fine form, churning away with an energised, but not rushed tempo. Worth a look by any dedicated baroque or Vivaldi fan. - Sascha Kelly November 2014

60 YEARS SINCE THE APOCALYPSE London in 1956 using smaller forces. The other was in November 1983 at the Sydney Opera House when Myer Fredman conducted the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the Sydney Philharmonia Choir with soloists. This is the only recording available. I am guessing that the 1954 performance, if it was recorded by the ABC, was not quite up to the mark for broadcast.

On air on Fine Music 102.5 this month, we celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s world premiere of Eugene Goossen’s epic oratorio, The Apocalypse. The work is an elaborate and complex setting of a text selected from the last book of the New Testament, the Revelation of St John. Goossens began the drafts for the oratorio in 1943 and it would take him ten years to complete. Robert Hallahan, who as chairman of the library committee is at the heart of Fine Music, sang in the world premiere of its performance at Sydney Town Hall on 22 November 1954. Back then, Hallahan was a member of the NSW Conservatorium Select Choir which joined the Hurlstone Choral Society, the Royal Philharmonic Society of Sydney and the Sydney Male Voice Choir at the Sydney Town Hall for a performance which demanded 400 voices, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the grand organ, and five solo singers. Hallahan shares his memories of an unforgettable concert. This was the big musical event of 1954 in Sydney and it was exciting to be a participant contributing to such a large body of sound, all under the control of Eugene Goossens as composer and conductor. The great man was very reserved in his approach and directions to the orchestra and singers during rehearsals, assuming that everyone had done their homework. The oratorio has had only two subsequent performances in the past sixty years. One of these was an edited version performed in

Rehearsals There were only two full-scale rehearsals of The Apocalypse before the Town Hall premiere. One of these was at Grace Brothers Auditorium at Broadway under rather unsatisfactory conditions for both layout and acoustics. Another complication was that some copies of the score had some pages bound in upside down. Also, there was no public address system for the conductor. The second rehearsal was held at the Town Hall and that was more satisfactory although we ran out of time. Stewart Harvey (bass) had to sing the “Voice of God” part from the control room which was then channelled through two amplifiers and loud speakers to the rear of the hall. It took some time before the composer was happy with the resultant volume and tonality. Final Performance When it all came together on the night, it seemed to me that the performance was at least acceptable, although the music critics were less than overwhelmed as regards both the music and the performance, calling it “a work of most uneven value” and that “the 400 voices were much too tentative in attack, too reticent in tone and too easily overbalanced by the orchestra”.

I am sure that it could have done with at least two more rehearsals, but as is the case with most large scale compositions, the time, money and hall space were not available. The work is certainly worth another public hearing sixty years after its first performance, so Fine Music 102.5 will be broadcasting the 1983 Sydney Opera House performance this month. After you have heard this ABC recording, you may care to give an opinion as to whether there will be a centenary performance in the year 2054! - Robert Hallahan Mixed Reviews The front page story on the Sydney Morning Herald the day after the performance relayed the news that Eugene Goossens was given a great ovation at the end of the world premiere performance of the two-hour oratorio and was recalled to the stage time after time. “Some well-informed musicians, in discussion at the interval, and after the performance, considered this to be the most important of all the music yet to originate in Australia,” reported the Herald. The paper’s concert reviewer “L.B.” was less impressed by the performance, “It proved to be a work of most uneven value, with some magnificent pages, where imagination and invention are at white heat to match the white hot text, and a good many other pages where the musical ideas seem to lack clear focus, concision, and vehement tension. “Perhaps the considerable values of this difficult music will emerge more clearly when it is sung a good deal more convincingly than it was sung last night.” L.B. was kinder to the orchestra - “The orchestra brilliantly gave Goossens everything he asked of it - and the soloists, while their voices lasted under the strain of the great burdens laid upon them, were eager to do the same.” - LH ON AIR 60 YEARS SINCE THE APOCALYPSE Saturday 15 November 4pm Prepared by Robert Hallahan Goossens, E.

November PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS ARTIST OF CHOICE: ANDRÁS SCHIFF Tuesday 11 November 9am-10am A distinguished and critically acclaimed pianist, conductor, pedagogue and lecturer, András Schiff is well on his way to becoming one of the most substantially recorded figures of his generation. His countless recordings have followed his passion for completeness and commitment. So far, Schiff has recorded the entire solo piano works of Beethoven and Janácˇek, all of Mozart’s sonatas and concertos, Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier Books I and II, the sonatas of Haydn and Schubert, works of Schumann and Bartok and a great deal more. His interpretations are celebrated for their clarity, refinement and straightforward nature. This month, you will hear a transparent prelude and a cleanly articulated and well-voiced fugue from Bach’s fifth Prelude and Fugue from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II. Schiff also accompanies mezzo soprano, Cecilia Bartolli with the sweet and tenderly lyrical music of Schubert. Here, there are no grand statements; rather what lies within his interpretations is subtle phrasing and inflections, expressed delicately. TRIBUTE TO LORIN MAAZEL 1930-2014 Sunday 23 November 2pm-4pm Maestro Lorin Maazel died at his home, Castleton Farms, Virginia, on 13 July 2014 from complications following pneumonia. Maazel had been rehearsing and preparing for his beloved annual Castleton Festival. The world-renowned conductor, composer and mentor devoted more than 75 years of his life to music making. A secondgeneration American, born in Paris on 6 March 1930, Maazel began violin lessons at age five and conducting lessons at age seven. He studied with Vladimir Bakaleinikoff, and appeared publicly for the first time at age eight. Between ages nine and fifteen, he conducted most of the major American orchestras, including the NBC Symphony at the invitation of Arturo Toscanini. In the course of his decades-long career, Maazel conducted more than 150 orchestras in no fewer than 5,000 opera and concert performances. He has made more than 300 recordings, including symphonic cycles of complete orchestral works by Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Mahler, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Richard Strauss, winning ten Grands Prix du Disques. Maazel was also a highly regarded composer, with a wide-ranging catalogue of works written primarily over the last 15 years. His first opera, “1984”, based on George Orwell’s literary masterpiece, had its world premiere at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and a soldout revival at La Scala, Milan. 22

Lorin Maazel

During his career, Maazel served as Artistic Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and General Manager of the Vienna State Opera, as Music Director of the Radio Symphony of Berlin, the Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic. He maintained an active conducting schedule, leading 111 concerts in 2013 alone, from Oman to Munich. A true citizen of the world, fluent in seven languages, he viewed music as a bridge-builder. In 2008 he wrote in the Wall Street Journal “I have always believed that the arts, per se, and their exponents, artists, have a broader role to play in the public arena. But it must be totally apolitical, nonpartisan, and free of issue-specific agendas. It is a role of the highest possible order; bringing peoples and their cultures together on common ground, where the roots of peaceful interchange can imperceptibly but irrevocably take hold.” In addition to conducting and composing, Maazel was an avid reader and lover of literature, a student of philosophy, astronomy, and math, a film buff, and fierce ping-pong player. He wrote short fiction and listened to all kinds of music, especially Tony Bennett. Maazel was also an ardent fan of technology and engaged with tens of thousands of fans through his blog, Facebook, and Twitter. Our Sunday Special tribute program features recordings of Maazel conducting works of Bizet, Tchaikovsky, Debussy and Rachmaninov in performances with the Cleveland Orchestra, the New Philharmonia Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

BERNARD HAITINK AT 85 Sunday 30 November 2pm-4pm Born on 4 March 1929 in Amsterdam, Bernard Haitink’s conducting career began 60 years ago with Holland’s Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. He went on to take on the role of Chief Conductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra for 27 years, as well as Music Director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera, the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, and Principal Conductor of the London Philharmonic, the Staatskapelle Dresden and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is Patron of the Radio Philharmonic, and Conductor Emeritus of the Boston Symphony, as well as an honorary member of both the Berlin Philharmonic and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Despite his advancing years, Haitink continues a hectic concert schedule. 2014-2015 season began for him with an anniversary concert with the Radio Philharmonic in the Concertgebouw, and will include return visits to the Symphony Orchestra of the Bayerischer Rundfunk, opening their season with the Missa Solemnis, four programs with the London Symphony Orchestra in London, Madrid and Paris, and the conclusion of a Brahms cycle with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in Amsterdam and Paris. He also conducts the Berlin Philharmonic in the Baden-Baden Easter Festival, and revisits the Chicago and Boston Symphony Orchestras. Haitink has several honorary doctorates, an honorary Knighthood and Companion of Honour in the United Kingdom, and the House Order of Orange-Nassau in the Netherlands. In this program, Haitink conducts music of Liszt, Bruch, Mozart and Schumann with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra .

PARIS: Magdalena Kozená, mezz HELEN: Susan Gritton, sop LOVE: Carolyn Sampson, sop PALLAS ATHENE: Gillian Webster, sop Gabrieli Consort; Gabrieli Players/Paul McCreesh. Archiv 4715415 2:26 The Trojan prince Paris is making offerings to Venus and seeking her blessing for his pursuit of Helen, Queen of the Spartans. He enlists the help of her confidante, Erasto. Paris and Helen meet at her palace and each finds the other beautiful. Helen asks Paris to judge a contest of the athletically-inclined Spartan warriors. Paris sings in praise of Helen’s beauty and declares his love for her. She initially rejects him but then starts to relent. She is encouraged further in this by Erasto, who reveals his true identity as Cupid. Once Helen acknowledges that she too is in love, Palla Athene warns them of unfortunate consequences. Paris and Helen then prepare to set off for Troy, which proved to lead to the Trojan war, thus vindicating the prophecy. Attrib. Mozart, W. Divertimento no 5 in C, K187 (arr. from J.
