YEARS 1974 - 2014

This month we’re excited to bring you an interview with legend of the violin Maxim Vengerov. He spoke with Fine Music’s Samuel Cottell about his impending visit as part of Musica Viva’s gala birthday celebrations. It will also mark his comeback to international concert touring.

Musica Viva’s Artistic Director, Carl Vine has described Vengerov’s program as “one in the great tradition of violin recitals”. Included in the program are sonatas by Beethoven and Ravel alongside works by Paganini and Ernst. The recital will commence with Bach’s famous Chaconne in D minor. Tickets go on sale for this unforgettable recital on 1 October.

In fact, you might be interested to know that the cultural value of live music has now been proven. Recent research conducted by the University of Tasmania and released by the Live Music Office shows the live music sector contributed $15.7 billion of value to the Australian community in 2014, providing vital commercial, individual and civic benefits.

The research shows that for every dollar spent on live music, three dollars of benefit is returned to the wider community. Another key finding was that audiences are prepared to travel significant distances to attend live music, and this demonstrates live music is a source of regional competitive advantage.

This certainly rings true for numerous regional music festivals held in Australia each year. The newest one on the calendar is Baroquefest, holding its inaugural festival this month in Canowindra in the central west of NSW. Turn to page 10 to read the full story. And you’ll find a selection of events happening around Sydney, from page 14.

In this issue, we also talk to the director of Pacific Opera’s newest production, Michael Campbell (page 4); the Ensemble Offspring; Jazz songstress Frances Madden; new Fine Music presenter Elizabeth Hayllar; as well as the Artistic Director of Musica Viva’s FutureMakers program Genevieve Lacey.

You can also find details of our six finalists in the Young Virtuoso Competition and meet the winner of Fine Music’s Young Composer Award for 2015, Solomon Frank (page 8). If you’d like to hear the world premiere of his winning score, get along to The Concourse in Chatswood on 26 or 27 September.

CELEBRATING MUSICA VIVA’S 70TH BIRTHDAY With special guest Maxim Vengerov Russian violinist Maxim Vengerov has been hailed as a modern day virtuoso. A violinist, conductor, educator, and UNICEF goodwill ambassador, he grew up in Siberia and commenced violin lessons at the age of four and a half. A child prodigy, he started touring at ten years of age. In 1990 he won the International Carl Flesch Competition in London, reinforcing his international reputation. Citing Daniel Barenboim and Mstislav Rostropovich as mentors, Vengerov regularly performs around the world performing numerous concerti and chamber recitals with the world’s leading orchestras, conductors and ensembles.

A recital of great tradition…

Now, for the first time in 15 years, Vengerov is returning to Australia to perform a special recital program for Musica Viva’s 70th Birthday Gala celebrations. It also marks his comeback to international concert touring.

“This is my third visit to Australia. The last time was very significant, personally, because it was during the 2000 Olympic Games, it was really wonderful to play in Australia.

“I have been to Sydney and Melbourne, both beautiful cities with wonderful audiences, I really love the country, I am enormously looking forward to my trip,” says Vengerov.

Musica Viva’s Artistic Director, Carl Vine has described Vengerov’s program as “one in the great tradition of violin recitals”.

“In the beginning of the 20th century it was very common for many of the great violinists to play long recitals, we are talking about three sonatas, and after this, the recital would start, this would just be a warm up,” he explained.

production, Holocaust: A Musical Memorial Film The program marked the 60th anniversary, on 27 January 2005, of the liberation of Auschwitz. It’s a truly emotional experience to watch Vengerov perform this work in the film.

Included in Vengerov’s program are sonatas

by Beethoven and Ravel alongside works by Paganini and Ernst. He likes to think of his recitals as similar to hosting a dinner party: “I tend to like the idea of recitals. I really love it because I can build my rapport with audiences. This is like being at home and hosting an audience for dinner. You start with the lovely appetisers, then the main course and so forth, and then you finish with dessert. The audience should feel embraced by the beauty of this music and I hope to create a very special atmosphere”.

Bach’s Chaconne in D minor is a work that is said to express the whole cycle of a life. “The Chaconne is probably one of the greatest testaments of music, written for violin solo,” says Vengerov. “There has been a lot of research being done that Bach has actually encrypted all of the names of his family into his works (including members who have passed away) it’s a very tragic work for himself, it’s very dear, one can hear that. It is a very strong beginning to the concert,” he said.

The recital will commence with Bach’s famous Chaconne in D minor. Vengerov performed this beautifully haunting work in the BBC

Also included in the program is a work that Vengerov particularly enjoys: Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Piano. “Ravel is the great

October 2015

‘classical’ composer of the 20th century in the Parisian School. His works, whether orchestral, chamber or solo , always display his mastery of colour - he was a visionary in this way,” says Vengerov, adding that he has a particular approach to the famous ‘blues’ movement of the sonata.

“There is a tradition of playing this ‘blues’ movement in a slightly faster tempo. I disagree with this faster approach as it takes away the greatest movement of the blues. You can imagine how Ravel envisioned the black people singing. The violin has to become a voice here,” he explains.

Joining forces with acclaimed Russian pianist, Roustem Saitkoulov, Vengerov says, “When we meet it is a great collaboration. As you might know, most of the great sonatas are written for piano and violin, not the opposite.

“Very often the piano commands and starts the character… For me, it’s very important to have a leading partner, as well as a wonderful accompanist.

Saitkoulov’s way of “colouring the keyboard” is quite unique, according to Vengerov.

Vengerov’s life partner Vengerov describes his instrument, a 1727 ‘ExKreutzer’ Stradivarius, which he purchased in 1998 at a Christies auction in London as “a life partner in music”. He describes the Stradivarius as “a very beautiful and special instrument, for its sound”.

The ‘golden period’ of Stradivarius instruments was from around 1700-1723, “but, the later period, which starts in about 1725 when Stradivarius was already an older man… changed the model to build a stronger violin both in voice and colouring”, according to Vengerov.

“My violin has a very deep colouring. In one word, this instrument is a Chameleon, it is just about able to create any colour that music needs,” he said.

A few years ago Vengerov took a short break from the violin for artistic reasons; an event that he says has made him a better musician.

“I’m not an exception in the history of a soloist’s career to take a break. Paganini, for example took five years to build his technique and his views to reinforce his knowledge in music,” he explains.

“As artists, we need some time to reinvent ourselves to reinforce our knowledge of the music and reinforce our love for what we do.

After each concert we need time to rethink, recharge to go again with the same passion.

“The break that I took was necessary for me and was one of the greatest things that I have attained, along with conducting and teaching experiences.

“This language that I have spoken since I was four and a half has a renewed energy and I now love the violin more than I did before, that’s for sure,” says Vengerov.

In 2007, following in the footsteps of his mentor, the late Mstislav Rostropovich, Vengerov turned his attention to conducting. In 2010 he was appointed the first chief conductor of the Gstaad Festival Orchestra and in June 2014 he ‘officially’ graduated as a conductor with a diploma of excellence from the Moscow Institute of Ippolitov-Ivanov with professor Maestro Simonov.

Being in the role of a conductor offers Vengerov a different perspective from that of a performer and actually enhances his understanding as a musician.

“When I play concertos now with an orchestra I have a different experience working with conductors as it gives me an understanding of the challenges faced by orchestras and conductors.

“It becomes a much richer experience, as compared to before when I didn’t know about the challenges of accompanying a soloist,” he says, adding that knowing how it feels from “the other side” makes it easier to find a “common language”.

Music for the World In 1997 Vengerov was made UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassador. In fact, he is the first classical musician in history to be bestowed this position.

The role forms an important part of Vengerov’s life and allows him to follow his firm belief in education, particularly music education, and perform for many disadvantaged children around the world.

“In today’s world there a number of children who suffer malnutrition, a basic need. Also, in many parts of the world children’s rights have been violated. First of all UNICEF stands to support these children,” said Vengerov.

“But above those elementary things (food and rights) there is education. Education is the key to success to build healthy societies in the world.”

Vengerov believes in the importance of music as a universal language and how it can break down barriers.

“It can melt the biggest ice caps in the world,” he says. “I learned from my mother who was a children’s choir conductor. She built a beautiful school inside the orphanage and rescued many

kids from the street, she offered them hope by giving them the opportunity to sing and play musical instruments.

“That is why I am very lucky when I play for children all over the world. I was able to travel to remote islands of Thailand and East Harlem, for instance. Working with these kids in this way is very inspiring, and has helped me shape who I am as an artist,” said Vengerov.

“Music is an art that is very compassionate, and it can be very healing to people to ease and heal their emotional wounds.”

PACIFIC OPERA’S CUNNING LITTLE VIXEN Is it an opera? Is it a rock concert?

Here’s a challenge for Fine Music Magazine readers. Find an opera company which aims to present works that sound like opera but look like a rock concert.

Director of Pacific Opera’s upcoming production of Janácek’s The Cunning Little Vixen, Michael Campbell says this is how the company has been described.

He explains: “A work must be both vital and relevant to those who are experiencing it in the theatre.

“I see my job is to present works that directly engage audiences in terms to which they can relate. Am I faithful to the intent of the work as it is written? Does attempting to make a work relevant make it ‘contemporary’ – I hope so – in the best possible way.”

‘Vixen’ at Grammar Pacific Opera’s production of Vixen will be presented at Sydney Grammar School’s state of the art theatre, New Hall on 2 and 3 October.

First performed in 1924, Janácek’s opera is based on a comic strip story. It was inspired by his study of animals and his undying, unrequited love of a much younger woman.

Encased in a huge romantic score, the work is lush, dramatic and intense.

It will be performed by Pacific Opera under the baton of internationally renowned conductor Alex Briger with a children’s chorus from Sydney Grammar School and the Sydney Youth Orchestra. The production features a cast of outstanding young singers headed by Alexandra Flood, one of Australia’s outstanding young sopranos on the cusp of a promising operatic career. The recipient of numerous Australian and local award, Flood was recently placed second runner-up in the prestigious Meistersinger Vocal Championship in Graz, Austria.

Joining Pacific Opera’s young artists are other emerging young professionals and tertiary-trained music graduates in the minor roles and ensemble.

Swelling the ranks further, 10 Sydney Grammar students and 15 Bach Choir members will augment the 57 member Sydney Youth Orchestra.

Discussing the work, Campbell recalled its origins germinated in early 2014 with Briger approaching Pacific Opera to have the production staged at his Sydney Grammar alma 4

The means by which this is communicated to the audience is not just via the singers’ performances.

“Set, costuming, lighting, and the interplay between the singers - all these elements play a role in communicating Janácek’s insight and intent,” said Campbell.

Michael Campbell

mater. An Arts Grant to stage the production acknowledged the role Pacific Opera plays in providing educational opportunities to emerging young artists in music and opera.

In a more analytical mood, he mused that “working on this piece I am constantly reminded of a saying that I first heard many years ago (and I am paraphrasing here): “When you are young, a tree is this thing with a brown trunk, green leaves and a number of branches.

“In middle age the tree becomes this wondrous complex structure that is constantly changing, giving shelter to a myriad other life-forms housing micro ecosystems and revealing interdependence of life on this planet.

“In old age the tree becomes all that and more – but it is also just a tree.”

Coming back to Janácek, Campbell believes the composer has encapsulated all of these layers of complexity and wisdom within a musical masterpiece.

“The most evident way he does this is found in the opera’s episodic structure where each scene informs the next. Every episode is simple but by reworking, and re-presenting the central themes and images of freedom, love and relationship, the complexity of human nature is revealed.

“As director I am remaining faithful to this approach, allowing the layering and conversation between the visual and aural imagery to resonate off each other over the course of the opera.

Embracing the space Providing an insight into aspects of the production which in another venue may not come to the fore, Campbell noted that one of the wonderful challenges is engaging with the school’s extraordinary New Hall which combines the monumentalism of the sandstone rock face with the elegance of the wood and steel architecture of the auditorium.

“This production embraces the space and draws it into the aesthetic of the design and the performances,” he said.

However, the main thrust of the production is based on Pacific Opera’s broader philosophic platform to provide younger performers with the opportunities to work in performances of the stature and standard of the professional stage.

“After tertiary training and before performers have built themselves a sustainable career path they need to practise their craft by learning ‘on the job’, treading the boards within a professional context,” he said.

“These opportunities are formative to the creation of our greatest artists which is the invaluable role Pacific Opera plays.”

For potential members of the audience, this production will undoubtedly underscore Pacific Opera’s youthful dedication and energetic vibrancy. They will experience young performers at the cusp of their careers and one day remember seeing for the first time one of the great operatic performers on the world stage.

Ensemble Offspring goes back to the future Celebrating 20 years

Back in 1995 two student composers, Damien Ricketson and Matthew Shlomowitz formed a new music group to have their compositions aired. This in itself was not an unusual move – young composers are well known for rounding up unsuspecting musicians to try out their compositions on. The difference here was that renowned pianist Woodward decided to take a gamble on these Con students and they were invited to play at his annual Sydney Spring Festival. So they called it The Spring Ensemble.

Now, 20 years on that same ensemble, now called Ensemble Offspring, describes itself as one of the leading lights of new music in Australia.

“Rather than just playing in a small venue at the Conservatorium we had this amazing main stage performance opportunity that was very well attended and it got us off to a great start,” says Claire Edwardes, one of the founding members and now co-artistic director of Ensemble Offspring, of their first performance.

Ensemble Offspring’s ‘philosophy’, although very broad given the wide range of projects it engages in, can be described as innovation in music.

“Innovation is something that we strive for constantly, not just in the music itself, but in the collaborations that we make, our mode of presentation and the way we engage with our audience,” says Edwardes.

Edwardes herself was drawn to contemporary music when she met Damien Ricketson and Matthew Shlomowitz and first performed with the Spring Ensemble in that first concert. She says that it was “the range of sound worlds and the fact that it was so different to the classical piano music that I had been trained in throughout my youth”, that she found most stimulating.

“I loved that it could be anything - that it didn’t have any limitations. I also liked the act of working with living, breathing composers, and that is something I still really enjoy doing today.”

Running a smaller, new music ensemble is not without its challenges and the recent changes to arts funding may impact the number of performances and the diversity of the creation of music in Australia. Will it affect Ensemble Offspring?

“I’d be surprised if it doesn’t,” is the response from Edwardes.

“It came at a particularly bad time for us as well as a lot of other companies when we had just been told to think big for our six year plans for the Australia Council and then that was all cancelled.

“I think it will also affect emerging composers and performers as well as smaller companies such as ours who are already under resourced as it is,” she said.

Ensemble Offspring

‘Hatching’ talent Ensemble Offspring is now giving back to younger composers and performers, particularly through its Hatched Academy, a program designed to provide hands-on practical experience to the next generation of curious, open minded and innovative performers and composers from around Australia.

“This year we have four academy students who come together three times a year for the Hatched Academy and it’s been marvellous.

The original reason that we wanted to do it was because we felt that after 20 years we had so much to give back to the next generation, not just composers, but performers as well.

“Now we find that we can contribute in more than just giving advice on performance or compositional techniques but generally about how to make a fist of this tricky business of presenting and creating new music in Australia,” says Edwardes.

On 25 October, Ensemble Offspring will celebrate its 20th year with a concert entitled: ‘Future Retro’, going back to their roots and performing at the Sydney Conservatorium. This two part concert explores where the Ensemble has come from and where it is heading.

“The ‘Future’ portion of the concert is mainly our Hatched Academy students. We also have two works by Sydney Conservatorium composers and that came from the fact that we wanted to give back and offer the opportunity that Roger Woodward gave to us 20 years ago.

“Plus a new commission by emerging Sydney composer Tristan Coelho funded by our Noisy

Egg Creation Fund. There’s a really exciting mix of styles in there.

“Then the ‘Retro’ section highlights three of our favourite big works from the past 20 years obviously it was very difficult to choose a one hour program of highlights- but we went for three classics by Andriessen, Grisey and Ligeti,” says Edwardes.

So what does the next twenty years hold for Ensemble Offspring?

“Our biggest goal is getting more and more people to experience what we do. We get such overwhelmingly positive feedback after performances, so really it’s just a matter of convincing people to take that initial risk – that first leap of faith.

“For a lot of folks contemporary classical music is still quite a new and confronting experience and we just want to spread the word that it really is the most intriguing and stimulating artistic experience and that it will reap rewards.

“I think if we can just spread the word and the love over the next 20 years, then our aim of getting that wider audience appreciation will have been achieved. I know we can do it,” said Edwardes.

Great songs inspired by jazzy themes Frances Madden’s ‘dream’

Lauded for her original song writing and “unique style” by jazz legend James Morrison, Frances Madden is fast making a name for herself as one of Australia’s most promising young entertainers. Fine Music caught up with her after her appearance at Fine Music Live from Town Hall on 18 July.

How was it opening the live event at the Town Hall?

Oh yes, it was a wonderful experience and the audience were very kind. I was really happy to perform and repay the support Fine Music has given me. It was a very different atmosphere to playing jazz clubs or festivals which is what the band and I do mostly. We also usually play with a slightly larger ensemble including horns and backing vocals.

Some people have likened you to a young Australian Diana Krall. How do you feel about that? Who are your musical inspirations?

Well, that would be incredibly high praise and I’d be happy if at some point in my career I could achieve just a fraction of what Diana Krall has. Of course, she is right up there in terms of musical influences for me, along with Nora Jones and Eva Cassidy. Actually I grew up in a household that enjoyed good music so I listened to everyone from Bach to Bacharach. I also love Ella and Nina Simone.

How would you describe your music?

Because it’s not all jazz is it?

Well, I call it jazz-oriented. Most of what I do is swing or ballads in the jazz genre. But I also love the blues and I like to perform great songs regardless of where they come from. One of the most popular numbers we do live is a medley of I Love Paris and the classic French song La vie en rose. I like to make music that is beautiful and that people enjoy. It doesn’t have to be limited to one genre.

One thing that does make you different to some other vocal jazz artists is that you write a lot of your own music. Tell us a bit about that.

After I’d been working as a performer for a couple of years, I just started to compose. I had these ideas for tunes and for the words

Frances Madden

and images that came with them. Most of the tunes are swing and some of them, like If this were a Dream, would be at home in a 1950’s movie with Gene Kelly or Peggy Lee. But when I’m writing, I don’t think about the genre. I just follow what is ‘coming through’ and I try to make something beautiful and complete from it. So I have ballads, like Summer’s Song and also up tempo R&B tunes like Rain Down on Me. What inspires you when you compose?

What do you like to write about?

Well, love songs I guess! I have a few of those in different guises. What else can a young girl do, right? But I also get inspired by peak moments or experiences. For instance, there was a moment when I was a speaker at a function where all these young people were saying good bye to each other after six years together. They were all so sad to be parting but at the same time they were all so grateful for what they had shared. I went home and wrote the tune I will remember you which turned out to be a kind of universal ‘saying goodbye’ song.

You released an album last December. How did that come about?

I was really lucky. A friend of a friend played some of my music for Judi Morrison, wife of James. Judi invited me to come and record a

demo track at the James Morrison Studios. One thing led to another and I ended up writing some more songs, working with a producer and then recording an album. The album is called If This Were a Dream and it has 13 tracks including eight originals and five classic covers.

It debuted at #5 on the ARIA Jazz Album Charts.

What is next for Frances Madden?

Well, I’m writing of course. I have some great tunes including a really swinging Christmas song for the next album. The band and I are about to do a mini tour to Melbourne, playing at some jazz venues down there. And then we’re back in Sydney for a gig at The Basement in October. I hope to be back in the studio early next year.

YOUNG VIRTUOSI Fine Music’s Young Composer announced Last month we announced the winner and runner-up of the Fine Music 102.5/Willoughby Symphony Orchestra Young Composer Award, as Solomon Frank and Ashley Agar, respectively.

Here, we find out more about their inspirations and compositions.

Solomon Frank, 19, is currently in his first year of studying composition at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. He has always had an interest in music and has played piano and clarinet since a young age. He finished school in 2013 and after having a year off from study, decided he would submit a portfolio to the Sydney Conservatorium. Frank was “surprised and delighted” to be accepted and has relished his studies so far. After studying orchestration with Carl Vine last semester, he thought it prudent to write an orchestral piece.

The resultant piece, entitled Spectre, references the infamous villain from many of the classic James Bond films, and “this world of intrigue and suspense”, according to Frank.

John Barry wrote the score for most of the classic Bond films as well as many other Cold War 1960s thrillers, all “stimuli” for Frank in writing this work, as well as composers Leonard Bernstein and Shostakovich.

“The work revolves around the minor-major seventh chord, the classic spy chord, giving it a distinct tonal atmosphere of tension, fear and intrigue.

“The opening is mysterious and harmonically unnerving, exposing the listener to the unique sound of this chord. It then progresses into an exhilarating melody that builds up across the orchestra,” said Frank.

“Throughout the piece, I have harmonised melodies using parallel moving augmented chords, the augmented chord being an inherent part of the minor-major seventh chord. This is

Solomon Frank

a distinctive sound contributing to the uneasy mood of the piece.”

However, there is contrast in Spectre and the slower middle section of the piece conveys a tenderness and emotionality, leading up to a climactic finale.

“This piece started last semester, I wrote one minute for a string quartet,” said Frank. “Then in the holidays I thought I’d continue that. I wrote that string quartet piece to about five minutes and then a week before the competition deadline I thought I’d write an orchestral score”.

So while the piece was conceived over a long period of time, the writing of the music and orchestration was mostly written within a specific timeframe.

“A competition is a great incentive to write something,” said Frank, adding that the sense of satisfaction he gains from his composing work outweighed the lure of prize money.

After submitting this piece to Fine Music, he was “astounded and overjoyed” to have been

selected as winner of the Young Composer Award and to have his worked performed.

Frank’s piece will have its world premiere performance on 26 & 27 September, under conductor Stephen Mould.

While it’s daunting having his work performed by a professional orchestra, Frank is excited by the opportunity describing it as a definite “learning experience”.

When asked what might present the greatest challenge, he says, “Stepping away from it… leaving it in the hands of the orchestra and conductor”.

Runner-up of the Young Composer Award, Ashley Agar, comes to composition from a performing background, having studied orchestral and chamber music with a number of organisations. She is currently studying violin and composition at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and performs with the Musician Project Orchestra.

Agar’s piece, Orchestral Overture No.1, is not strictly programmatic but it definitely tells a story.

“Each listener may come up with their own idea of what the music is depicting – for me it sounds like a journey, both of a physical and emotional nature. Whatever the narrative, I’m sure it involves an adventure,” she says.

Fine Music gratefully acknowledges APRA|AMCOS for its support of this competition allowing opportunities for emerging composers entering the Australian music community.

FESTIVAL AIMS TO PUT CANOWINDRA ON THE MAP

The Inaugural Baroquefest

The town of Canowindra (pop. 2000), southwest of Orange in the NSW Central West, has long had a regional reputation for bold surprises - among them its spectacular hot-air Balloon Challenge which attracts thousands of visitors and top Australian and international balloon pilots each year.

In that respect, its latest event is really no surprise to anyone who knows the place.

It’s already been described by a regional newspaper editor as typical of “Canowindra punching above its weight once again”.

The event is Canowindra Baroquefest, a three-day celebration of music by the great composers of “the pinnacle of the Western harmonic tradition” featuring the acclaimed Ironwood and Mitchell string quartets supported by prominent regional musicians and singers.

Scheduled for 16-18 October, Baroquefest is the inaugural event of what’s hoped will become a tradition establishing Canowindra as an important regional cultural centre.

Already, it’s highlighted a little-known network of classical music lovers who, for the past 40 years or more, have been quietly importing the music to rural regions, staging concerts that have sometimes attracted little or no audience.

Characters of the bush It’s one of these bush characters, Bill Bright, who helped inspire Richard Statham, chair of the volunteer Canowindra Fine Music Committee, to become the prime mover of the Baroquefest concerts.

Richard knew Bill Bright when he was running a sheep and cattle business at Barraba, 120kms north of Tamworth, before moving to Canowindra 20 years ago.

“Bill is now one of Australia’s pre-eminent harpsichord makers,” he recalls.

“Back in those days he taught his sons to play piano, got involved with Musica Viva, and raised funds to restore a fine old pipe organ in a local church. The organ and Bill’s harpsichords were the core of concerts he frequently arranged.

“He brought in top-class musicians who’d never played in the outback before to people who otherwise wouldn’t have experienced live classical music.”

Richard Statham moved to Canowindra in 1995 to develop his now-flourishing Rosnay winery and organic farm. Three years later he was following Bill Bright’s lead, working with David Miller, of the Sydney Conservatorium, to bring 10

Richard Statham

his top students to Canowindra every April for concerts in the town’s All Saints Church.

“David told me he’d never been invited beyond the ‘Sandstone Curtain’, meaning the Blue Mountains, before,” he says.

“And since 1998 there’s been only one year in which his students haven’t played in Canowindra.”

Among the dedicated young musicians who came here was Sarah Kim, who is now the top organist at Notre Dame in France.

Stratham says it wasn’t long before the Mitchell and Orange Conservatoriums asked if they could come and perform in Canowindra: “Their members loved Canowindra’s All Saints Church for its accoustics, and they came and played whether we had an audience or not.

“If we didn’t get a crowd they’d consider it a great chance to have a rehearsal.”

Birth of Baroquefest All this pioneering goodwill inspired Statham to form the Canowindra Fine Music committee a year ago to launch the inaugural Baroquefest concerts as an extension of the church performances.

From the start, the project had no trouble attracting high level interest. It was another longstanding friend on Richard Statham’s wide network, Andrew Baker, Director of Strings at the Orange Conservatorium, who got the ball rolling by bringing in the Bathurst-based Mitchell String Quartet, then the soprano

Helen Barnett and the harpsichordist Tracey Callinan, who is also director of Arts OutWest.

The Ironwood String Quartet were the next to sign on, even though one member was mindful of the irony of playing at Canowindra High School years ago to an almost empty hall.

Completing the musical fare is Matthew Gately, the brilliant trumpeter who recently relocated from Dubbo to Orange.

But the icing on the Baroquefest cake, so to speak, has been an agreement by Marian Arnold, ABC Classic FM’s most popular producer and presenter, to be patron of the Baroquefest experience.

The event brings Arnold back to a region with which she shares a special bond -- she grew up in Orange and has a stepsister living in Canowindra.

“In recent years I’ve been overjoyed to watch this region’s musical development,” Arnold says. “That this area can now boast a festival of Baroque music is a special delight.”

As for Richard Statham, he describes his crucial role in Canowindra Baroquefest as “indulging a passion” for classical music and its musicians.

And so much so that, while not being a musician himself, he says he’s thinking of investing in a grand piano so he can present concerts at his Rosnay estate - introducing regional people to the classics and talented but struggling musicians to “a bit more money and a rural experience”.

New presenter profile

Elizabeth Hayllar

Fine Music recently spoke with one of its newest presenters, Elizabeth Hayllar, a fan of opera and baroque music, who also runs a business providing others with unforgettable musical experiences overseas.

Can you give us a little insight into your background in music?

As a child I had the great opportunity of being in Opera Australia’s Children Chorus, which led to the wonderful experience of singing in Opera Australia’s productions of Turandot, Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci. I continued studying singing throughout school and university.

I completed a Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Arts Degree with First Class Honours in Music at UNSW and then began a career in arts management with Musica Viva Australia, first in their schools program and then for their International Concert Series. After moving to London I worked with Intermusica Artists’ Management managing tours around the world, working with major soloists, orchestras and choirs, such as Joyce DiDonato, the London Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge.

Why did you want to become a presenter on Fine Music?

I am passionate about classical music and enjoy creating programs, researching the pieces in each of the programs and of course listening to the music and sharing this with an audience.

I have already, in my five months presenting with Fine Music, discovered many new works and learnt about a variety of new composers as well as always learning more about composers and works that I already knew well.

I enjoy learning about and presenting all types of music. However, perhaps my favourites would be opera and baroque music.

Elizabeth Hayllar

What do you do when you are not presenting on Fine Music?

Two years ago I started my own company, Hayllar Music Tours (www.hayllarmusictours. com), which arranges luxury small group holidays for opera and music lovers to what I believe are the best opera houses, classical music venues and music festivals in Europe.

What gave you the idea for your business?

Hayllar Music Tours resulted from my seven years working in the UK. I gained strong contacts and an inside knowledge of the European classical music industry and as a result I decided to create tours that offer the best classical music combined with exclusive private musical experiences that are usually off limits to those outside the industry.

What are some of your favourite tours and destinations?

I love all of my tours, as each has special individual

features. One of my favourites is Opera, Music & Theatre in London & the English Countryside.

I managed the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge for five years and I know the Music Director and the Choir very well. Because of this I have been able to arrange some very special activities in Cambridge including attendance at a private rehearsal of the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge in King’s College Chapel and lunch with Stephen Cleobury, who has been Director of Music at King’s College since 1982.

I also like this tour because it visits historic homes and gardens, and includes three stunning opera festivals, Glyndebourne Opera, Garsington Opera and Grange Park Opera. The grounds where these festivals are held are magical.

Another of my favourites is Opera & Art in Budapest, Prague, Leipzig & Berlin. What I am very excited about for this tour is that, as a result of having worked for four years with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, they have offered to arrange a number of private events for us. We will have a private recital with members of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and this recital will take place at the Music Director, Iván Fischer’s private home apartment. We will also have the chance to sit in on a closed rehearsal of the orchestra. As well as this we will attend wonderful performances, explore historical buildings, and visit art galleries and museums in each city.

What are your plans for the future?

I am very much looking forward to my upcoming programs on Fine Music. And I am looking forward to showing my guests the delights of the European classical music world.

GENEVIEVE LACEY & MUSICA VIVA

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF MUSIC Recently Musica Viva launched its new artist development program, describing it as Australia’s most holistic artist development program for professional musicians, to be guided by Genevieve Lacey as Artistic Director.

FutureMakers aims to empower leading young virtuosi to become Australia’s next generation of outstanding musical performers who are “flexible and curious leaders”.

Following an extensive application and audition process earlier this year, an ensemble of high calibre has been chosen to take part in the first two-year fellowship which commenced last month. The Arcadia Quintet are the musicians for the program’s first iteration, a woodwind ensemble comprising Kiran Phatak (flute), David Reichelt (oboe), Lloyd Van’t Hoff (clarinet), Rachel Shaw (French horn) and Matthew Kneale (bassoon). The quintet formed at the Australian National Academy of Music in 2013 and is currently based in Melbourne.

The selection process involved enlisting the advice of peers and colleagues around the country and internationally, asking them to nominate the finest young Australian musicians

they knew, up to the age of 30, either as individuals, or ensembles, working in the area of fine music.

The nominees were then sent an invitation to apply. The formal application involved submitting both recordings and a written statement about the musician/s and their plans

and hopes for the future, which were assessed by a national panel of distinguished Australian musicians.

Out of these two stages, ten were invited to live auditions. The final round of auditions took place across two days, and involved both performances and interviews.

“We were very excited at the depth and breadth of talent,” Genevieve Lacey told Fine Music Magazine.

“Arcadia Quintet are fantastically talented musicians, both as individuals, and as an ensemble. They’re brilliant, communicative musicians with a wonderful sense of humour and fun, they care deeply about education, and can’t wait to take their sounds and skills into many different contexts.”

Creating leaders “Ultimately, the people we hope to attract are brilliant musicians – highly skilled, already distinguishing themselves by the quality of their work and their imaginative thinking.

We’re interested in people who have proven themselves to be leaders, and who wish to

develop this capacity even further.”

When asked about her role in the program Lacey said: “My role’s a beautiful, privileged one. It involves working with an amazing group of thinkers and leaders across many fields, to design the content of the program, in response to the musicians’ needs and desires.

“I’m attracted to this role because I love music, and I care deeply about creating a future for it in this country.

“For me, training musical expertise is only part of the equation – this work must also be about creating and nurturing contexts and communities around these musicians and their work, in order that they have a thriving future,” she said.

FutureMakers, which has been designed around project-based learning, will see musicians have rich chamber music mentoring, present diverse performances, create education and community engagement projects, devise collaborations at the highest level, and develop business skills critical for success in the industry.

Arcadia Quintet has identified a series of areas they see as core to their development and their future.

“Together with them, we are helping mastermind a series of projects that will give them real, hands-on experience of the many aspects of being a musician, be they intellectual, creative, practical, logistic, strategic, entrepreneurial etc.

“There will be many types of mentoring, threaded throughout the two years,” said

Lacey. “They’ll work with us at Musica Viva, and also with distinguished experts in many fields, both in one-on-one sessions, and as a group”.

The whole process is about building a community of lifelong supporters around young musicians and their work.

“There’s no doubt that life teaches you a huge amount, in ways that formal courses can’t predict. And, there’s also no doubt that multiple organisations and tertiary institutions around the country are thinking hard about ways to help young musicians develop skills to help them survive in a contemporary world,” said Lacey.

However, what the program can deliver is access

to the “rich, deep conversations, skills and opportunities” available through Musica Viva.

“People who embodied an unusual combination of skills founded Musica Viva: they were artistic visionaries, with acute business acumen,” said Lacey. “The organisation is very aware of the need for both sides of this equation, and so is perfectly placed to work with young musicians to develop both their artistic and their business and leadership skills.”

Musica Viva plans to take on further participants – there will be another call for nominations in 2016, in time for the September start of the 2017 intake.

Composer and double bass player Robert Davidson provides us with a witty and delightful series of thoughts on power and politics in his ensemble piece with video, in what is a first for Australia Ensemble audiences.

And what is a waltz without an accompanying tango? Paul Keating gets a bit of a serve in new versions of the Keating Tangos.

Politics and power are darker notions, however, when we consider the music of Dmitry Shostakovich. The glorious Cello Sonata of 1934 was written just before his censure by the Soviet Cultural office for his opera Lady Macbeth of Mtensk and at a time of personal turmoil which seems to heighten the expressive power of this music.

Beethoven too had a Russian connection, namely with Prince Razumovsky, an amateur violinist of some repute and commissioner of three of Beethoven’s most famous quartets, the third of which will form the centrepiece for this program.

Considered one of the benchmark works of the string quartet repertoire, this piece was written when the composer was facing his own mortality following serious illness. The work ends with a frenzied rush to the finish line, almost triumphant, thus ending an epic journey filled with heartache, hope, and acceptance.

Brett Dean’s, And once I played Ophelia for soprano and string quartet is full of drama, lament and Dean’s characteristic rhythmic drive and punch. Australian soprano Allison Bell joins us from Europe for this exciting and visceral work. Juan Crisostomo de Arriaga was known as the “Spanish Mozart” and his rarely heard, wonderful third quartet opens the program. Written when the composer was only 16, this work includes a highly inventive and programmatic pastorale and a musical style that seems to evoke Beethoven.

✶✶✶✶ Paolo Bordogna (who sang in The Marriage of Figaro for Opera Australia this year) is described variously as a baritone or a bassbaritone, but the arias on this disc are usually associated with a true bass and in some cases his low notes seem distinctly on the sketchy side. Nevertheless, there is a good deal to enjoy in this collection of buffo arias from

Italian operas. Bordogna, who is 43, has a rich, mellifluous voice, which remains even throughout its range and is of a pleasant, firm timbre. His enunciation, of course, is excellent, his singing always musical and he enters very fully into the characters that he is portraying.

His versatility is such that in two opera by Donizetti he sings more than one part, in one case that of a woman. I particularly enjoyed Dulcamara’s aria from Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore and Falstaff’s monolog on honour from Verdi’s Falstaff. Bordogna is particularly skilled in the rapid “patter” style of singing as demonstrated in arias from Il barbiere di Sivigilia and La Cenerentola, both by Rossini. The aria from Nino Rota’s Il Cappello di paglia di Firenze turned out to be much

more interesting than I expected, that from Mascagni’s Le Maschere as bad as I expected.

Accompaniments throughout are excellent, as is the recording.

– Richard Gate

Schoenberg the pianist? Not quite. In fact, he never actually played the piano. An astounding fact, considering that he wrote masterfully for the instrument. His oeuvre for the piano is presented here by Australian pianist Danae Killian. The track listing is in compositionally chronological order which allows the listener to track his development through the early experimentations with atonality in the Three Pieces, Op 11, right through to the stunning Suite, Op 25 which pays homage to the baroque suite and delivers some dynamic and witty writing that requires a high level of precision in all aspects of ones playing. It is advisable to listen to these works whilst following the score. The pieces are easily downloadable from imslp.org.

Only then can one appreciate the complexity of these miniature compositions. I found the brevity of the Six Little Piano Pieces, Op 19 from 1911 the most compelling works on this disc. His

sparseness in texture combined with a mixture of bright and colourful harmonies make these light but carefully constructed movements a very attractive set to listen to. Killian has also included a link to an essay entitled ‘For Grasping Schoenberg: An Epistemology of Sense and Meaning in Word, Music, and the Moving of a pianist’s arms’, which looks at her approach to her thinking of who she describes as a ‘notoriously difficult modernist composer’.

Pollini’s reading has to this point been the benchmark for the recording of these works.

Killian treats each work as a unique entity and entrusts a model of obliqueness and character to a collection of technically demanding and richly rewarding pieces. This is an excellent CD on all levels and from an intellectual standpoint, well worth purchasing.

It was recorded at the ABC Iwaki auditorium in Melbourne in late 2013 and the world premiere was given in France in late 2014.

Sculthorpe’s Island Songs for two pianos and guest didgeridoo is a totally reflective and expressive work. Songs of home, Lament and Yearning are two of the works which have been performed in various Australian venues. Kats-Chernin’s Six ReInventions arranged for two pianos, performed

by Genevieve Lacey on various recorders, shows a charming mix of inventions No.4 and No.1 by J.S. Bach. A flight of sunbirds – nine bagatelles for piano duet depicts Ross Edwards’ charmingly energetic style. The work was commissioned by, dedicated to and given its premier performance

by Elizabeth Green. Miriam Hyde’s scintillating and charming Toccata for two (for piano duet) brings the very interesting program to an altogether premature end.

CD Reviews Morning Mood Solo Piano Music of Edvard Grieg Gerard Willems, piano ABC Classics 481 1699

✶✶✶✶

This two CD set of selections of Grieg’s solo piano music is significant in that it is the first all Australian recording to be made available.

Furthermore Stuart & Sons have provided the piano and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music the venue, which gives this disc a distinctly local flavour. The music of course is purely Norwegian. It would be impossible to expect any Australian composer, either past or present to have the ability to produce such a set of richly diverse and enigmatic pieces. Gerard Willems’ selections on Disc 1 include an energetic and joyous account of the Holberg Suite, op 40 and a sensitive reading of the early Six Poetic

✶✶✶ Horace Keats (1895-1945), an Australian composer, is best known for his songs, of which there are six on this CD, excellently sung, with a voice of good quality, by Louise Page. According to the liner notes, Keats has been described as “the Schubert of Australia”

Tone Pictures, Op 3. The highlight of Disc 1 is the ever popular Peer Gynt Suite No 1, Op 46 which sound incredibly clean and resonant on the magnificently hand crafted Stuart & Sons piano. The second disc is devoted entirely to a selection of the 66 Lyric Pieces, spanning Op 12 to Op 71 in ten volumes from 1867 to 1901.

They are played precisely and although each is an entity within itself there is almost a cyclic feel with a warmth and vitality for which Grieg was known. Grieg’s signature for the piano will always be the Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16. It is easy to overlook his extensive piano output in favour of this beloved warhorse. This CD is ideal for anyone willing to explore Grieg a little further than the Concerto or for those appreciative of the Romantic piano miniature which the likes of Chopin, Schumann and Liszt made their own remarkable contributions.

Here at Fine Music 102.5 we’re delighted to add our congratulations to the co-founders of the ABO and how wonderful that so much pleasure has been provided for listeners during the first 25 years. There’s no doubting that with the current recording they have maintained the high standards and undiminished pleasure of performance that listeners have demanded, experienced and enjoyed over many years.

The contents of the program include some of the favourites of the baroque period starting with Handel’s Zadok and working its way via Telemann’s wonderful wake-up presto, the continuing excitement of the cello in Vivaldi and, following close on the heels of the Zadok, is favourite Geminiani’s La Follia. And I was particularly attracted to the reflectiveness found in the slow movement of the Brescianello. but it is absurd to mention Schubert in the same breath as Keats. The music presented here is written in the late-romantic, traditional style of about one hundred years ago. It does not sound specifically Australian, or even British. It is somewhat reminiscent of American music written about 1900. It reveals a modest talent for melody and harmony, but little in the way of a strong creative talent. On the whole I enjoyed the chamber music, especially the last piece, Movement, for violin, flute and cello, more than the songs which seem to be weighed down by the pretentious lyrics. All the performances are first class but, even so, I could not rate this

Grieg carried this forward to the end of the 19th century, using his love for his homeland as a canvas to produce a montage of vivid and evocative music that is a pleasant and rewarding experience.

- FS I was unsure about the reason for including the Kats-Chernin’s Cube which I felt contributed to a lack of compatibility with the rest of the program. If I’m allowed to say so as a listener I share Kats-Chernin’s love of Bach and there are some fascinating compositional techniques in the work but of course no fugues. The lines throughout the performance are always clean but some of the florid passages are not quite best articulated particularly in some of the bass passages, and in the mood of whether we should ‘change station’ there were some rather longish silences between movements which I suppose in concerts equates to applause?

Jane Sheldon, soprano and specialist baroque soloists contribute greatly to the success of the recording.

After performing at Fine Music Live From Town Hall, it’s fitting we take a look at and listen to Frances Madden’s debut album, recorded in 2014. It contains 13 tracks, eight of them her own compositions. Frances Madden does all the piano and vocals, accompanied by various combinations of 11 other musicians and backing vocals, particularly Bryan Araniego (guitar), James Heazlewood-Dale (bass), Harry Day and Tim Firth (drums), Chris Gable (saxophone) and Ray Cassar (flugelhorn). Ian Cooper provides the strings for one song, Tim Wilson bass for another, with the album being recorded and mixed at James Morrison’s studios here in Sydney. This

✶✶✶✶ As a lover of melody and the musical treasures of The Great American Songbook, it is deeply satisfying to settle back in a chair and listen to what I believe is the first album by the impressive Philadelphia-based Michelle Lordi.

Forget about vocal gymnastics or pop princesses masquerading as jazz singers; Lordi is the real deal, her diction flawless as she uses emotional depth and phrasing in subtly burnishing the lyrics of a song so they join the melody on centre stage. Her voice is devoid of strain with hardly any vibrato but it’s clean and 18

is a lovely album from a young musician with a wonderful career ahead. Her piano work is harmonious and rhythmic, stating the tune in a delicate, uncluttered manner and expanding on it between vocals. The vocals themselves are clearly articulated and melodic. To have such a collection of original compositions on an album is uncommon in more recent years.

Her songs cover a range of ideas and tempos, from the laid-back Summer’s Song and the well titled Haunting Melody to her cheerful Such a Beautiful Day. Some themes are those of a younger woman, such as Dear Mr Nick, but her tunes demonstrate musical maturity. It is not till you compare them with her interpretations of a few tried and tested standards, however, that the listener realises how developed and mature her composing is. Her interpretation of older tunes such as Ray Noble’s The Very Thought of

You and the I Love Paris/La Vie en Rose medley make them fresh and contemporary. When you combine all three of Madden’s talents, we have a terrific CD and a wonderful performer.

Michael Griffin is a young saxophonist based in Sydney. He was a semi-finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition in 2013 in Washington USA and performs regularly with his quintet who feature on his debut album Unexpected Greeting (ABC Music download only).The album showcases the style of all-time greats Charlie Parker and Cannonball Adderley, that is, bebop. With six compositions from the saxophonist and a hearty bunch of standards the album opens at a brisk pace and doesn’t slacken with the explosive horns of Griffin and Dane Laboyrie interplaying with spunk throughout along with Chris Long’s playful piano brimming with enthusiasm all over the album. Favourite track (and it’s hard to pick just one) is the title Unexpected Greeting. This gets

much the same joyous treatment with fine interplay of horns mixed with piano, bass and drums conviviality. What a way to introduce yourself to a new and hopefully international audience via the digital revolution. On some tracks the pace is a lot slower adding the exquisite vocals of one of Australia’s finest jazz vocalist’s Briana Cowlishaw to the wellworn tunes, I Didn’t Know What Time It Was, As Time Goes By, Embraceable You and Almost Like Being In Love. Cowlishaw handles these timeless standards superbly sometimes giving them a new, unexpected yet innovative interpretation. Her voice is technically flawless as is her delivery. For lovers of bebop and nostalgia this album is a must.

graceful, perfectly suited to the sophisticated elegance of this disc where the emphasis is mainly on ballads performed at slow tempos except for If I Only Had A Heart written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg for the legendary 1939 Judy Garland film The Wizard Of Oz. Understatement is her forte to the benefit of both the words and music. The stylistic influence of Blossom Dearie can be heard in Kurt Weill’s My Ship which contains a fine solo by tenor saxophonist Larry McKenna whose playing is another highlight. The veteran, almost a legend in Philadelphia musical circles, is a seamless improviser and exceptional balladeer as befits a former Woody Herman sideman. The pianists Tom Lawton and, on three tracks, Orrin Evans who produced the

album, are not only fine accompanists but their solos emphasise the mood set by Lordi’s inflections of the lyrics. Her version of I Fall In Love Too Easily is outstanding as is Lordi.

Remember the name.

Swinging on the Vine The Intimate Ella “There are lies, dammed lies and statistics!” Big J lifts his head from his bowl of shiraz, stares at me as I wave my arms to stress a point before once again burying his snout in the red liquid, snorting with delight at the warmth of the winter sun on his back in my Hunter Valley hideaway.

Waving a copy of noted British jazz critic and scholar Stuart Nicholson’s splendidly researched 1993 biography Ella Fitzgerald, I continue: “This is one for the Guinness Book of Records. Has anyone else had a longer ongoing career as a featured recording artist?” There is silence from my friendly pig but then he has never been one to argue.

Statistically Ella Fitzgerald made her first recording on June 12, 1935 - Love and Kisses with Chick Webb and his Orchestra - and her last in 1992. But what is more amazing is the diversity and consistent creativity of her long recording career. She even made trivia timeless: her personalised treatment with Louis Jordan of the frothy calypso novelty Stone Cold Dead In De Market (1945) for example. However, I still shudder when I hear her nursery rhyme adaption of A Tisket A Tasket which she first recorded with Webb on 7 May, 1938.

She left a legacy of thousands of recordings - the way she could beautify a ballad; the spontaneity and humour of such scat masterpieces as How High The Moon, Flying Home and Lady Be Good. Pride of place is reserved for the songbook series in the 1950’s and early 1960’s which brought new life to the melodies of America’s greatest songwriters including Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, George and Ira Gershwin and Duke Ellington.

A Tisket A Tasket was her breakthrough recording. Her salary went from $US12.40 to $US50 a week. When Jimmie Lunceford offered her $US75 to join his great band, Webb upped the ante to $US125. Benny

Goodman, after a recording date with Ella and an appearance on his radio show, offered Webb $US5,000 to buy out her contract but without success. Even at this early stage her voice had developed some of the characteristics that would propel her through triumphant decades - a pure sound, perfect intonation, easy phrasing and a little girl quality that never left her.

She had a small part in a forgettable Abbott and Costello movie called Ride ‘Em Cowboy which was released in March, 1942. But Hollywood never did her justice as her entire movie career was virtually confined to cameo roles, the best of which was as a night club singer in Pete Kelly’s Blues (1955).

But neither St Louis Blues nor the 1960 Columbia film Let No Man Write My Epitaph gave Ella the chance to realise her potential. She had a minor role - and was mis-cast - in the latter playing a tired junkie in this sombre melodrama set in the slums of Chicago in the 1950s. Her manager Norman Granz in a move to capitalise on her film role decided to issue an album of songs using the name of the film as a sales gimmick. When the movie was released in November, 1960 it bombed - and the album sank with it. I remember reading a scathing review of the album in Down Beat magazine when it was awarded just two stars.

It did not stop me buying the album and I still wonder why it was met with such a hostile reception. It was released again in 1991 as The Intimate Ella on CD and should stand as a benchmark of excellence as her singing, with its precise enunciation and breath control allowed her to sing high and low notes with equal ease on such haunting fare as September Song, Angel Eyes, Misty and Black Coffee. As her accompanist Paul Smith said Ella loved to sing ballads and these performances highlighting her subtle use of tonal inflection and tasteful vibrato are among her very best.

And Smith is faultless, with a technique and sensitive imagination which complements her to perfection.

How could this album have been panned by Down Beat? I turn to Big J: “Let that be a lesson my friend. Trust your own ears!” But my words are drowned out by his drunken snores…

October program highlights DAVID OISTRAKH: ARTIST OF CHOICE 27 October at 9am On October 27, our artist of choice is celebrated violinist, David Oistrakh, who has a profound recording legacy including all of the standard violin repertoire. He was born in 1908 in Ukraine, and became the premiere violinist of the Soviet Union during the middle of the 20th century. As well as a famous violinist, he was also an accomplished violist, studying both instruments at the Odessa State Conservatory.

Oistrakh began gaining success after his graduation in 1926, when he was awarded prizes at national and international levels. He won the All-Ukrainian contest and All-Soviet competition in 1930 and 1933 respectively. In 1937, the Soviet government sent Oistrakh to Brussels where he won the International Ysaÿe Competition. This led the upcoming violinist to be recognised by prominent composers of the 20th century including Shostakovich, Khachaturian and Myaskovsky, all of whom wrote violin concertos dedicated to him. As well as being the dedicatee of these concertos, Oistrakh worked closely with the composers on the violin works they were writing. Oistrakh worked with major musicians and orchestras in his lifetime and toured internationally, dying suddenly in Amsterdam in 1974.

Our program features Oistrakh’s viola playing in Mozart’s string duo no 1 in G, as well as his outstanding violin playing.

Other artists of choice being featured in October include clarinetists Michael Collins (6 October) and Alan Vivian (20 October) and pianist Vladimir Horowitz (13 October).

HAYDN’S CREATION 10 October at 3pm On 10 October, our Saturday afternoon major work is Haydn’s The Creation. It is considered by many to be Haydn’s masterpiece, conveying and rejoicing in the creation of the world.

Written between 1797 and 1798, this oratorio features text from the biblical books of Genesis and Psalms, as well as a libretto based on a poem in ten volumes: John Milton’s Paradise Lost, which Haydn brought back from England.

Haydn’s patron at the time, Gottfried, Freiherr van Swieten suggested the text be rewritten in German, giving the oratorio the alternative German title, Die Schöpfung. Haydn’s patron took on the German translation himself. Haydn was greatly inspired after hearing Handel’s Messiah and Israel in Egypt whilst in England, hoping also to have a work that would give him lasting fame. The work is written for three soloists, a soprano, a tenor and a bass, a

David Oistrakh

chorus and symphony orchestra. The Creation is structured in three parts, all representing part of the creation of the world. The prelude explores the chaos and disorder former to the creation of the world, Haydn creating this by withholding cadences at the end of phrases.

This prelude is taken at a slow tempo and is in C minor. The remainder of the first part and the entirety of the second part depict the six days of creation. The infamous story of Adam and Eve begins in the third part of the oratorio. However, it is largely focused on love in the marriage of man and woman, only briefly hinting at the temptation by the snake in the libretto. This work was finished a decade prior to Haydn’s death in 1809. However, Haydn still composed major works after The Creation including his other most famous oratorio, The Seasons (1801).

Other Saturday afternoon major works in October are Prokofiev’s Cinderella (17th) and Handel’s Solomon (24th).

LISZT EXPLORED Wednesdays at 3pm Born in 1811 in Hungary, Franz Liszt is most known for his extensive compositions and as a virtuosic pianist of the 19th century. A child prodigy, Liszt was performing in concert halls at the young age of nine and as an adult toured extensively through Europe.

Liszt died in 1886, having written more than 700 compositions in his lifetime. Whilst Liszt wrote an extensive number of piano works, he composed only one opera, Don Sanche. He wrote this as a young teenager in 1825 under the composition tutelage of Ferdinando Paer.

Paer was an Italian composer recognised for his oratorios and operas. The year after the

first performance of Liszt’s only opera, his father died. This trauma turned Liszt away from his profession and music entirely. Liszt began to read vast amounts of literature exploring art and religion which immensely influenced his later compositions. At 22, Liszt met his soon-to-be wife, Marie d’Agoult. He became inspired by love and nature, writing many compositions of his impressions of the Swiss countryside. These new compositions and public performances Liszt gave reinforced his success as a soloist and his reputation boosted throughout Europe. Liszt’s copious popularity was heightened as the proceeds from his concerts often went to humanitarian causes and charities. Liszt’s most famous works include the Hungarian rhapsodies, 19 piano pieces based on Hungarian folk themes. Liszt also composed Liebesträume, Dreams of Love, a set of three solo piano works. Liszt Explored features his first Piano Concerto in E flat, written over a 26 year period. The first themes were written when Liszt was 19 in 1830. Liszt made changes up until its publication in 1856.

The program also includes some of his other piano compositions played by Leslie Howard, Nobuyuki Tsujii and Geoffrey Tozer.

treasure chambers; the six silver ones she is permitted to use, but the seventh golden key is forbidden. Arian, believing the wives are alive, looks for the seventh door. When her nurse opens the others, cascades of jewels and other treasures spill out. Ariane unlocks the seventh door and hears sounds of far away singing by the other wives. Barbe-bleue enters and tries to drag her towards the seventh door. The furious peasants break into the hall to confront Barbe-bleue. The seventh door shuts behind Ariane and the nurse. They find the other wives hiding in the darkness, dressed in rags and terrified, but alive. Ariane discovers a grime-covered window, smashes it and they all try to escape, but the castle’s magic prevents the wives from escaping. From the windows they see Barbe-bleue’s carriage ambushed by rebel peasants who bind him and break down the castle door. At the sight of his wives, they turn over their captive. The wives care for the wounded Barbe-bleue before Ariane cuts his bonds and bids him farewell. The wives decide to stay with Barbebleue.
