THE QUEEN OF THE VIOLIN AND THE SSO Anne-Sophie Mutter holds court in Sydney Now she’s found us, it seems “the queen of the violin” simply can’t get enough of Australia and she is currently planning to perform and spend time with friends, for her third visit here, in September. Her unforgettable performances with the SSO have been rewarded with thunderous standing ovations over the years. On her upcoming tour she brings her peerless musical insight to Dvorák’s expressive Violin Concerto and his song-like Romance for violin and orchestra, for Sydney audiences only. Jakub Hr˚uša is also making his third visit to Sydney, this time bringing his Czech understanding to the music of Dvorák. Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony makes for an exciting conclusion to a program that is one of the highlights of the SSO calendar. Both the soloist and the conductor spoke with Fine Music magazine about their impending visit and the highlights of their respective years to date. A life of music Mutter was born in Rheinfelden, Germany in 1963. She began playing the piano at the age of five, and shortly afterwards took up the violin, studying with Erna Honigberger, a pupil of Carl Flesch. After Honigberger’s death she continued her studies with Aida Stucki at the Winterthur Conservatory. At 13, she was invited by Herbert von Karajan to play with the Berlin Philharmonic. At 14, she made her debut at the Salzburg Festival with the English Chamber Orchestra under Daniel Barenboim and at 15 her first recording, of Mozart’s Third and Fifth Violin Concertos, with von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic. After almost 40 years on stage, Fine Music asked Mutter to undertake the unenviable task of highlighting some of the most important moments. One of these was her debut with von Karajan on 28 May, 1977. “As well, all the world premieres of pieces written for me,” Mutter continues. “I am expecting the world premiere of André Previn’s Nonett this August to be amongst them.” The highly-awarded virtuoso has built a strong reputation for championing contemporary music with several works being composed especially for her including by Sebastian Currier, Henri Dutilleux, Sofia Gubaidulina, Witold Lutosławski, Norbert Moret, Krzysztof Penderecki, André Previn, and Wolfgang Rihm. In 1998 Mutter played and recorded the complete set of Beethoven’s Violin Sonatas, 2

accompanied by Lambert Orkis; these were broadcast on television in many countries. Despite her prodigious career in music, Mutter is also well-known (and loved by many of her fans around the world) for her humanitarian work and, through her own foundation, as a teacher and mentor to young musicians.

“

Being a musician is a work in progress …

”

While there are “many social and medical causes” that are currently close to her heart, Mutter recently put on a benefit concert with, in fact, Lambert Orkis, for people with special needs. “Above all children are a great passion of mine and therefore the orphanages in Romania and White Russia are a commitment I am dedicating my time and financial means to on a regular basis” Mutter tells Fine Music magazine.

“My foundation of young string players which is working worldwide is still expecting to be of help to a great Australian talent. So please keep applying,” she urged. A look at Mutter’s stream on social media reveals her down-to-earth personality and dynamism reflected in her interaction with friends and fans, as well as her real commitment to improving the lives of others. She has been quoted as saying that creating music is a humbling experience. When asked about this she says: “Life is complicated for most of us. Among others, we all struggle to find a profession we can identify with. “For us musicians it is a great present to travel around the world and communicate through and with music with an audience of almost every cultural and religious background. It is indeed a humbling experience to be reminded again and again of Goethe’s quote, ‘Under our clothes we are all naked’”.

She goes on to enjoin us to remember Schiller’s poem Ode to Joy: “Let us try at least the few hours in the concert hall to not only sharing time together but also our hearts!” It’s easy to envisage this sentiment, with glorious music being played in the Sydney Opera House, above all “an unforgettable experience because of the nature of its architecture, the acoustics and the location” says Mutter. “But it is nothing without the passionate and outspoken Australian audience which we musicians love so dearly,” she adds. Sydney program The Dvorák concerto is yet another romantic work that was written for the great violinist Joseph Joachim. The piece is full of Czech melodies and particularly the finale with its Dumka insert in the middle gives the concerto a truly unique flavor. “Watch out for the extremely exposed coloratura at the beginning of the concerto. It is one of a kind and probably the reason why it is performed rarely – only a violinist without vertigo can survive this,” explains Mutter. “As to the Romance by Dvorák it is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written and I am confident that the SSO and Jakub Hr˚uša will bring the very much needed flavour to the interpretation of this great Czech composer,” she says. “I am very much looking forward to working with this young conductor for the first time. He had basically learned Dvorák’s language with mother’s milk. I am sure the audience will enjoy the program greatly.” When asked what Sydney audiences can expect from the upcoming performance, Hr˚uša told Fine Music magazine: “I would say the audiences can expect two hearts burning for the loveliest music, hopefully igniting the existing enthusiasm of the players as well and then, accordingly, the enthusiasm of the audiences themselves”. “We are privileged to perform these pieces of genius for everyone in the public. It would be, however, quite in vain to try to anticipate what will come in words”. Of Mutter he says: “I respect her immensely. Of course then, there is a great deal of responsibility… but that usually inspires me to enjoy the moment even more. I hope you will feel it”. Born in the Czech Republic and described by Gramophone as “on the verge of greatness”, Jakub Hr˚uša is Music Director and Chief Conductor of the Prague Philharmonia and Principal Guest Conductor of Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. He is a regular guest with many of Europe’s leading orchestras, including the Philharmonia Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic, Finnish Radio

Jakub Hr˚uša

Symphony, WDR Symphony Cologne and the BBC Symphony Orchestra to name a few. In the field of opera, Hr˚uša made his Glyndebourne Festival and Tour debuts in 2008 conducting Carmen, followed by Don Giovanni (Festival and Tour 2010), The Turn of the Screw (Festival 2011), La bohème (Tour 2011) and Rusalka (Tour 2012). He has also led productions for Royal Danish Opera and Prague National Theatre.

“

… the passionate and outspoken Australian audience

”

As a recording artist, he has released six discs for Supraphon including a critically-acclaimed live recording of Smetana’s Má vlast from the Prague Spring Festival in 2010. Other recordings include the Tchaikovsky and Bruch violin concertos with Nicola Benedetti and the Czech Philharmonic for Universal and, more recently, a live recording of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique with Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. Since his first visit to Australia was one with “music making”, he “can’t feel this beautiful city otherwise” he says. His other highlights from recent years include the operatic productions in Paris (Rusalka) and Glyndebourne (Carmen), and the 20 year anniversary celebrations of the Prague Philharmonia (PKF), and orchestra he has been leading for several years. Hr˚uša has in fact farewelled PKF, after some 13 seasons of stable collaboration, and will be a permanent guest conductor at Czech Philharmonic for its next season. “Very recently I enjoyed fantastic concerts with a special orchestra I adore - Bamberg Symphony,” said Hr˚uša. Soon it will be “rather hot”, he says. “I have my debut with the Royal Concertgebouw

Orchestra in Amsterdam (with Frank Peter Zimmermann) and in Vienna State Opera (in a new production of Janácek’s Makropulos Case)”. And although some may speculate on whether Mutter will continue to perform and tour, she assures us that it is not her last visit to Australian shores. While she will only perform in Sydney this time around, she will “spend a few days with friends in the country side working on a travel holiday schedule for my next visit”, she says. “I am absolutely passionate planning to come back to Australia not only to perform but to have an extended vacation in this wonderful country.” When asked if there is anything she has yet to achieve musically, Mutter says: “Being a musician is a work in progress and every performance – if one is lucky – is expanding your horizon and therefore one emerges with new ideas and musical goals even in repertoire you think you know since decades. “Having said that, my new passion is to play piano trio with Yefim Bronfman and Lynn Harrell and the three of us hope to come to Australia soon as a Piano-Trio” - an event that many will no doubt excitedly await. - Paula Wallace EVENT Anne-Sophie Mutter plays Dvorák 23, 25, 26 September 8pm Sydney Opera House DVORÁK Violin Concerto Romance for violin BEETHOVEN Symphony No.3, Eroica Artists Jakub Hr˚uša conductor Anne-Sophie Mutter violin www.sydneysymphony.com September 2015

TOP FRENCH MUSICIANS TOURING Musica Viva presents Modigliani Quartet Hailed as “the top French quartet of their generation”, the relatively young members of the Modigliani Quartet will be visiting Australia in October as part of Musica Viva’s 2015 70th Anniversary Season. Playing works by Haydn, Schubert, Beethoven, Dohnányi and our own Nigel Westlake, the group is passionate about the two different concert programs it has prepared to present around the country. Its three-week tour is packed with performances and rather than use the long haul from Paris to Sydney to stop over and perform in other countries along the way, the group is coming here direct, non-stop. With six young children between them, the group members have limited time, but they truly want to consecrate as much as possible to their Australian audiences. When asked if they have a favourite piece to play in the programs, their perhaps obvious answer was: “we love them all”. The works are all carefully chosen, each one having particular significance and importance. The quartet does, however, like the idea of presenting the Dohnányi which is enjoyable to play, but it is also a virtually unknown piece. First Violin Philippe Bernhard says: “The most challenging piece in this tour’s programs is probably Beethoven’s Opus 95. Every string quartet lover knows what the Beethoven quartets represent: a kind of ‘Himalayas’ of the genre. “This quartet closes Beethoven’s middle period and is very compact. It takes a lot of concentration and strength to pull it off well.” This tour’s repertoire is orientated towards the Classical and Romantic. Bernhard says that this is pure coincidence, as the group chooses the repertoire it loves and then tries to balance out the genres and periods. Modigliani usually play at least one early 20th century piece, most likely Ravel, Bartók or Shostakovich, but of course the group has favoured Dohnányi and Westlake as its more recent composers this time around. Playing Westlake to Australian audiences excites the group: “It’s great for us to discover a new composer and even better to present his work in his own homeland,” said Bernhard. Although there will be no French repertoire in this tour, Modigliani has previously conquered greater French Romanticism, favourites including Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Onslow, Franck and Chausson. The group is looking forward to 4

making some world premieres of new works soon and perhaps commissioning a work specifically written for it. “Regarding contemporary premieres we’ve had requests but haven’t done it yet. We still have so much repertoire to discover that we basically can’t play more than one contemporary piece a year,” said Bernhard. The quartet has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious venues: Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Vienna’s Konzerthaus and Musikverein, Carnegie in New York, The Wigmore Hall in London; but if asked if it has a favourite venue it would be “La Grange au Lac” in Evian – which translates as “The Barn on the Lake”. This is the venue where the Modigliani Quartet holds its festival “Les Rencontres Musicales d’Evian” (Musical Get Togethers in Evian). Bernhard describes the hall as “wonderful”. It is entirely made of wood, giving it great acoustics and warmth, and making it “a must on your next cultural tour of the FrenchSwiss Alps.” Bernhard is a serious musician who plays serious works, but he definitely has a very jolly personality. When asked what to expect from Modigliani in 2016, his answer is simply: “We will keep being happy just as we are now!” The group will be presenting some special projects such as Schumann: 1842, which includes three string quartets, a piano quartet and a piano quintet – all having been written in the same year. It will also be the third edition of its festival in France, one of the highlights for the quartet each Summer.

“The opportunity to do music and spend time with a lot of great musicians,” says Bernhard, adding that the year will also be rounded with tours in the United States, Asia and Europe. - Allan Scott-Rogers EVENT MODIGLIANI QUARTET Philippe Bernhard first violin Loïc Rio second violin Laurent Marfaing viola François Kieffer cello Coff Harbour: 22 Oct, 8pm Newcastle: 15 Oct, 7.30pm Sydney: 10 Oct, 2pm 12 Oct, 7pm Program 1: Newcastle, Sydney Weekend HAYDN String Quartet no 36 in B flat major, op 50 no 1 SCHUBERT String Quartet no 10 in E flat major, op 125 WESTLAKE String Quartet no 2 BEETHOVEN String Quartet no 11 in F minor, op 95 ‘Serioso’ Program 2: Sydney Weekday HAYDN String Quartet no 42 in C major, of 54 no 2 WESTLAKE String Quartet no 2 SCHUBERT String Quartet no 12 in C minor, ‘Quartettsatz’ DOHNÁNYI String Quartet no 3 in A minor, op 33 www. musicaviva.com.au

SIMON TEDESCHI’S EPIC UNDERTAKING Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition

Simon Tedeschi. Image – Maja Baska

Simon Tedeschi is known for his multifaceted performances across Australia and throughout the world, as a classical pianist and also accomplished in the genre of jazz. This month he releases a landmark recording - of Modest Mussorgsky’s pianistic masterpiece, Pictures at an Exhibition. “I was asked to record Pictures at an Exhibition as well as Tchaikovsky’s Album for the Young. It was an enormous undertaking as Pictures at an Exhibition is such a mountain for a pianist and it’s really one of these pieces that describes the human experience so I was tickled pink that I was asked. I think it is my best recording to date,” says an enthusiastic Tedeschi. “He (Mussorgsky) was trying to describe a time that no longer exists, but also he’s talking about things that we all encounter today. He’s talking about remnants of culture but I think that Pictures at an Exhibition is about time - the fact that time is irreversible in a way.” Pictures at an Exhibition was composed by Mussorgsky in 1874. His dear friend Viktor Hartmann (an artist) had suddenly passed away and Mussorgsky had, in his personal collection, some of Hartmann’s artworks. Mussorgsky soon set about composing a suite which was an imaginary tour of some of Hartmann’s artworks.

Mussorgsky composed a “Promenade” which connects all of the pieces together and gives the listener a sense of moving through the gallery. The “Promenade” has a very Russian folk flavour to it and it appears in various guises through the collection. “You have to be in the shoes of a very large lumbering man,” says Tedeschi. “There is also a beckoning quality to the promenade that says ‘come with me’ - that’s what I always hear Mussorgsky saying. It’s this big man, but walking with a certain sprightliness because he is excited but there’s different qualities to all of the promenades throughout the piece.” As well as being a virtuosic piano work, Pictures at an Exhibition is one of the most widely orchestrated works in history. The likes of Ravel, Toscanini and Ashkenazy have all had a turn at putting their personal stamp on the work. “This is because it is so dense, it is so amenable to orchestration, it is so symphonic,” says Tedeschi. “To have the whole orchestra there creates the sound that you want. Even though it was written for piano I was thinking of the orchestra a lot in the playing of this work.” The recording also includes another work by a great Russian composer, Tchaikovsky. Written in just four days, Album For the Young is a musical depiction of a day in the life of a Russian child. “It is sheer genius and Tchaikovsky is so human, in a different way to Mussorgsky, human in an intimate way - it is the human that we see as imperfect and frail in front of the mirror every morning. It’s the incredible hyper sensitivity of a composer who was almost too sensitive for the world,” says Tedeschi. “With the Tchaikovsky… it has to be approached with kindness and humility and joy, but also a sense of wistfulness that comes

from childhood, because, you know, we all have our childhood wounds, and this suite explores them,” says Tedeschi. Following the CD launch of Pictures at an Exhibition on 11 September, Tedeschi will embark upon a national recital tour performing Mussorgsky’s masterpiece. In Sydney, Melbourne and Avoca, Tedeschi will perform an all-Russian program including Tchaikovsky’s Album for the Young, and Prokofiev’s altogether darker Visions Fugitives. Bringing his own magic to these works, Tedeschi promises an unforgettable evening of iconic, Russian classical music. - Samuel Cottell

The Gershwin Collection The ABC has also released Tedeschi’s two Gershwin CD’s in a box set. The Gershwin Collection brings together Tedeschi’s array of recordings by this composer. When asked why audiences still love Gershwin’s music, Tedeschi says: “There is a sense of harmonic logic and inevitability to his melodies. Gershwin, while not a jazz composer, has swing, groove and that unique American concept of ‘fizz, buzz, or pop’. That’s what I think that people like about it”. The CDs contain performances of iconic works such as Rhapsody In Blue and works that will be lesser known to some audiences such as Jazzbo Brown Blues. See review of this CD on page 17.

MICHAEL MORTON-EVANS ASKS…

What would musicians play if they had the choice? Church music is often hard to sing when one has been doing a lot of Opera. One has to re think how to sing in a more streamlined way with far more simplicity.

Faced with a wide range of repertoire, some performed by choice, others at the whim of producers, there must surely be pieces that musicians love to participate in, and others that they find hard. Michael Morton-Evans decided to ask a range of musicians, singers, composers and conductors to nominate the works they most enjoyed, and the ones that present the greatest challenges.

The Composers ANN CARR-BOYD, Australian composer

The Musicians IMOGEN COOPER, Internationally renowned British pianist and accompanist tonal control. In terms of sheer pyrotechnics: probably Xenakis’ Evryali. The Singers

The piece I most enjoy playing is the one I have most recently performed that has gone well; in this case one of the last three Schubert sonatas, in A major D959. Although I have been familiar with it for over 40 years, the heartbreaking stop-start of the last couple of pages never fails to take my breath away. As if he cannot say goodbye. The hardest piece I have played is Traced Overhead by Thomas Ades. I co-commissioned it with the Cheltenham Festival in 1996, and nearly fainted when I saw the score. You could presume that pianists are pretty good at being independent between their two hands, but in this instance my capacity felt like Grade 3. The right hand had to play zillions of notes at full stretch at the very top of the piano, the left was doing something completely different in the bass, different technique needed, different rhythm, time signatures changing every bar and at top speed. The piece was 12 minutes long and took me a month to read through from beginning to end. SIMON TEDESCHI, Australian classical and jazz pianist. The piece of music I most enjoy playing is the Brahms Piano Concerto no. 1. In my view, it is unequal amongst concerti. It has the pathos of Rachmaninoff, the intellectual rigour of Beethoven and the melody of Schumann. The piece I find the most difficult to play…. Any Mozart Sonata slow movement! They invariably require the greatest balance, nuance and 6

NICOLE CAR, Australian operatic soprano The piece I love most is Tatyana’s letter scene from Eugene Onegin. Tchaikovsky really knew how to turn feelings into music. Every time I have the chance to perform it I find new, interesting words and ways to interpret it. The emotion in the piece is so present as well, and I really relate to that as a performer. The piece I find the most difficult would probably be Dove Sono from Le Nozze di Figaro. The simplicity of the piece means that you are completely exposed. To keep a beautiful legato line, singing pianissimo, while feeling the beauty and aching that comes with Mozart’s genius is a hard ask.

I have found many pieces enjoyable to write, and although writing music is never easy, it can be enjoyable - and I have always found writing to words is good, because you have a starting point for the emotional content and maybe a clue as to style. However I have taken the plunge and nominated the song cycle Museum Garden (2001) for soprano and piano. I found this piece enjoyable to write (although also quite emotionally draining as the words are so poignant) because the five poems told a universal story of life and death and love. The piece I found most difficult is The Boulevard Waltz (2008) for two pianos. There are no less than four versions of this piece. GEORGE PALMER, Australian composer and former Supreme Court Judge Undoubtedly, the piece I have most enjoyed writing is my opera adaption of Tim Winton’s classic novel, Cloudstreet, which will be premiered in Adelaide in May 2016 as part of State Opera South Australia’s opera season. As librettist as well as composer, I have had the freedom to express both in words and in music what I feel to be the essential themes running through this great work.

PETER COLEMAN-WRIGHT, Australian operatic baritone I love to sing many things but the most exciting that comes to mind is the Ërlkönig by Schubert. I love the drama in the piece, I love singing the four different voices. You have the Narrator, the Father, Son and the Spirit. It is like a mini opera by itself and the piano accompaniment whilst very difficult really adds to the atmosphere. The songs that I find most difficult to sing believe it or not are hymns. I always find the tessitura especially high and very exposed.

Cloudstreet has, at the same time, been the most difficult work I have undertaken. One reason is that, as librettist, I have had to extract from a book densely populated by fascinating characters and innumerable plot lines a strong dramatic narrative which, of necessity, has to omit much that is in the book while at the same time being true to its essence. Another difficulty has been, as composer, to find the right ‘voice’ for these characters. The Conductors ANDREA MOLINO, Italian conductor

For me, Beethoven Ninth conducted by Karajan at the Philharmonie in Berlin is a different piece than Beethoven Ninth conducted by Rattle in Mauthausen, not to speak about Beethoven

Ninth conducted by Furtwängler in Berlin in 1942 for the birthday of Adolf Hitler. Having said that, my answer is a shortlist of occasions where composition, place, audience, context combined to create a particularly special moment in my personal experience. For example I remember a wonderfully smooth performance of Berg’s Lulu, in Germany. Another special moment was Heiner Goebbels’ Surrogate Cities at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, as the opening of the Venice Biennale. And then, Puccini’s Bohème at the Sydney Opera House for New Year’s Eve; it was absolutely exhilarating. Which piece do I find the most difficult to conduct? There are different kinds of difficult music. Some pieces are technically demanding; for example Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, Berg’s Lulu and Wozzeck, Boulez Notations, Zimmermann’s Die Soldaten. But for those I found that it’s just a matter of taking the time and working hard enough to solve the problems. Other pieces are very difficult because they are so clean, and so exposed, that they don’t allow you any “safety cushion”: Mozart and Webern, but also Rossini, are perfect examples. BRETT WEYMARK, Conductor and Music Director, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs In terms of genre, I sit comfortably in two camps - I love conducting the big works with large orchestras like Carmina Burana and Belshazzar’s Feast but I am equally happy to be sitting with a handful of period instrument players working through a Handel oratorio or

Purcell ode. Of all the works I have recently conducted though, Bach’s St John Passion comes to mind as one I have most enjoyed due to its depth, drama, spontaneity and humanity. The hardest pieces or genres are the two I just described for very different reasons. The larger the orchestra… the more the players need to coordinate their responses to the score and that requires a much clearer and decisive beat, not bigger. Add to that a sizeable choir of anywhere up to 400 singers and you have your work cut out for you in terms of precision. Baroque works, especially played on period instruments, are the other end of difficulty as the individual character of each player needs to be present while conforming to the overall sound of the ensemble. - Michael Morton-Evans

OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND FOR YOUNG VIOLINIST Suyeon Kang wins international competition

It was announced in June that 26 year-old Suyeon Kang of Australia, had taken out first prize in The Michael Hill International Violin competition, a biennial event founded in 2001. It aims to support young violinists launching their solo careers and aspiring to establish themselves on the world stage; and to expand performance opportunities (including playing New Zealand repertoire). If a cash prize of $40,000 was not enough, the first prize package also includes a concert tour and an album recording, a personal development program, bespoke clothing, some rather stunning jewellery and the opportunity to play a very valuable violin. Fine Music magazine spoke to Suyeon Kang a week after the announcement and still the news didn’t seem to have sunk in. Kang acknowledged the significance of winning such a competition, saying, “It opens a lot of doors and provides a lot of opportunities I didn’t have before. They give you this great development program including a lot of concerts. “In today’s world it’s harder for young musicians to get concerts because there’s so much competition, so many good performers”. It’s a remarkable statement for such a talented musician to make and gives you some insight into the effort and competitiveness of elite performers. Kang moved to Germany nine years ago at the age of 17, a move that proved to be quite a challenge. In her words: “Things were going relatively well in Australia. I’d won some competitions, I was getting some concerts. Nothing was going wrong, let’s put it that way. “I think if I’d stayed back then I maybe would have gotten a job, and that security quite early, but I went to Germany not because there were more opportunities, but because I thought there was a lot more to learn,” said Kang. Having always been a “slightly bigger fish in our pond”, Kang thought going somewhere else may provide a fresh experience with the opportunity to grow. And that has certainly been the case.

One of those early competitions Kang won in Australia was Fine Music’s (then 2MBS-FM) Young Virtuosi Competition - all the way back in 2004. She swiftly followed this up the following year by winning the ABC’s Young Performer of the Year award. When she tries to remember back to those times she admits it all seems a bit hazy, but certain memories remain clear. Winning those two competitions, back to back, “gave me the confidence boost I needed, and the guts to try and achieve something overseas, to try something new,” she said. When talking about her life in Germany, she still feels like she’s learning something new every day, and keeps her music career moving along, performing regularly as a guest soloist at festivals throughout Europe. She also has her own chamber group The Boccherini Trio whom she’s looking forward to touring with upon her return to Germany. Whilst not all the details have been finalised for next year’s concert tour, she is able to reveal that, “It comprises of two recital programs as Sir Michael Hill, the New Zealand jeweller, entrepreneur and philanthropist, actually left school at the age of 16 to pursue a career as a concert violinist. Although that did not eventuate, he has maintained a strong love for the violin his entire life and continues to play. In 2001 he founded the biennial Michael

well as a concerto. The album recording is at the end of the tour. It will be a mixture of one of the recital programs. The theme is the great duos for violin and piano. Not show pieces, not a concerto, but some great sonatas”. Kang will be performing the duos with Stephen de Pledge. It seems though, that the element of the competition prize package that fills her voice with the most awe, the most excitement, is the opportunity to play Michael Hill’s violin on tour next year. Acknowledging the difficulty in getting access to good quality, old instruments Kang says: “The one I’m playing on is a great one, but a modern one which I have to unfortunately return soon. “It’s a great honour to be playing on such a great instrument, The Giovanni Guardonini violin. It’s gonna be great, I’ve never played on such an expensive instrument before. “I think it’s a fantastic competition, sincerely it’s wonderful,” she says. - Gemma Purves Hill International Violin Competition “for emerging young violinists”. The winner of the competition receives a substantial cash prize and gets to borrow Hill’s personal violin – a Giovanni Battista Guadagnini, 1755, named The Southern Star - to perform on the 2016 NZ Winner’s Tour.

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF FINE MUSIC Live from Town Hall event success

On 18 July, Sydney-siders showed their appreciation for fine music by turning out in droves to attend the most ambitious outside broadcast event in the 40-year history of Fine Music 102.5 - Live from Town Hall. The lower Sydney Town Hall was packed to the rafters, with more than 650 guests, some standing, to hear a three-hour line up of classical and jazz musicians who have a special relationship with the radio station. There were a number of distinguished guests in

attendance including Fine Music’s Patron Dame Marie Bashir AD, CVO and Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore. The three-hour event, hosted by Michael Morton-Evans and Simon Moore, with interviews by Andrew Bukenya and Whitney Fitzsimmons, was broadcast live on Fine Music 102.5FM. The recording engineer crew included SteveMarc McCulloch, Roger Doyle, Jayson McBride, Peter Bell and Joanne Wroblewska. Fine Music Live from Town Hall would not

have been possible without the support of the talented musicians performing and the generous assistance of the City of Sydney. And, of course, the dedicated listeners and lovers of fine music who attended the event and who listened on the radio and online. So to all of you we say a big ‘Thank You’. Here are some pictorial highlights of this historic event the likes of which we hope there will be many more. Images – Jeannie McInnes and Angela Cockburn

TAKING CELLO AND MUSIC TO THE PEOPLE

Dave Loew

Dave Loew’s first concert back in Sydney will take place at the Balmain Town Hall on 26 September, with two of the great cello suites of J.S. Bach as well as a colourful journey through some of the Dave Loew Collection accompanied by a powerpoint slide show, some dialogue and anecdotes. Loew is a cellist hailing from a background rich in show business history dating back to Victorian England. Born in Nairobi, Kenya he began playing at the age of six within earshot of the wild untamed animals of the Serengeti. When the family emigrated to Australia in the 1960’s early studies at the conservatorium (John Painter, Robert Pikler) were quickly followed by playing in ABC orchestras and principal cello for the Australian Ballet in Melbourne. Loew spent many years in London playing full time with the London Symphony Orchestra, as well as other ensembles, plus much sought for recording session work. In 1985 Dave returned home for a sabbatical and to Sydney to play solo cello for the acclaimed CATS production and released his first album DEBUT for Polygram. An entrepreneur at heart, in 1988 Loew was asked by the World Expo team Brisbane to

form the National Arts orchestra, which won acclaim for its theatrical concerts (Irving Berlin 100th tribute). After returning to London in 1992 to study with the international cellist Christopher Bunting, Loew launched his own label SAFARI IN CLASSICS which gained a nationwide fan base and many hundreds of thousands of CDs sold. After returning to Australia in 2011 he released his Album Collection and undertook extensive appearances nationally which propelled the albums to the top of the best sellers list. Loew has of course given many recitals on radio and

in concert, and while he retains a love of the “core classical repertoire”, his work covers a wide range of styles and genres. Through “taking the cello and his music to the people”, Loew says his playing has “touched peoples’ hearts and souls” across the country. Working at such hallowed ground as Abbey Road studios left a stamp in Loew’s mind for recording work and his passion is in making albums that attempt to bring “soul and spirit” to as wide an audience as possible. “A Christmas album is now in the works as well as recording the Bach cello suites,” said Loew. Dave Loew’s catalogue of CDs, including The Beatles and Friends which features interpretations of classics by The Beatles, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Adele and more, are available at: www.daveloew.com.au EVENT DAVE LOEW 26 September, Balmain 4 October, Mosman dave.g.loew@gmail.com

KATIE NOONAN, SYDNEY DANCE CO AND ACO2

Explore Benjamin Britten in Triptych

Katie Noonan

Lush strings tremolo very softly over a sustained note and a viola ‘quasi trombone’ plays a triumphant fanfare. This is the introduction to Benjamin Britten’s Les Illuminations – a song cycle set to the poetry of Rimbaud. This is one of the Britten works that will take place along side Simple Symphony and Variation 10 (based on Britten’s op.10) choreographed by Sydney Dance Company Artistic Director, Rafael Bonachela. Singing the part in this grand work is one of Australia’s most beloved voices, Katie Noonan. “When I heard it, I thought this would be perfect for contemporary dance and thought it was music that was so suitable for choreography. I then approached Rafael… and he agreed we make this dream a reality. “The world premiere was at the Sydney Opera House in September 2013 which was part of the Benjamin Britten Centenary celebrations,” says Noonan. Triptych brings together three captivating visions of dance, including the repeat performance of Les Illuminations, and a 17-strong orchestra.

Les Illuminations The music of Les Illuminations is lush and has some of the greatest writing for strings and voice. Coupled with the poetry of Rimbaud it makes an excellent song cycle filled with rich tapestries of colour.

“It has lots of beautiful textures and tempos, there is also a lovely narrative story even though Rimbaud’s poetry is pretty abstract… there’s a lot to sink your teeth into thematically,” says Noonan. “I also love the idea that Benjamin Britten wrote the work for his partner, tenor Peter Pears, who made the piece quite famous and was one of Pears’ signature pieces that he performed. “I love the fact that Benjamin was in love with his partner Peter and also Rimbaud was having an affair with Verlaine at the time. It was very much about a love affair between two men.” Music and dance Les Illuminations is music that has a wonderful synergy with dancing - the pulsing bass notes and the chugging chords give it a rhythmic impetus to drive it along. At times, it is vocally and musically demanding music, with additive rhythms occurring in the last movement, bars of music alternating metre. Similar harmonic ideas suggest various things to the listener as well. “There are lots of beautiful duets between two men, and then two women, then the standard boy-girl duet. One of my favourite movements is when Cassius and Charmene Yap, who are partners in real life, have an incredibly intimate and sexy dance in the middle, which is beautiful. “There are so many wonderful things to explore that really suit Sydney Dance Company’s aesthetic,” said Noonan.

Not originally a work that was written to dance to, it seems to fit perfectly with movement. No stranger to the music of Britten, Noonan grew up in a household where her mum is a classical opera singer (a few years ago they released an album together). She also performed two of Britten’s large-scale works as a teenager. “I did his War Requiem when I was at the Queensland Conservatorium Music School when I was about 13 or 14. I also did the Ceremony of Carols, when I was around the same age. I just have always loved his music,” says Noonan. “It’s probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to sing, but I love the challenge of learning new material. I have really enjoyed exploring this, and I really think this is one of his best pieces ever written. “The string writing is just divine, it’s just so beautiful and again quite tricky. It’s also something for the string players to sink their teeth into as well,” she said. Transmutant Katie Noonan also combines music and dance on the video clip of her single Quicksand from her new album, Transmutant released on 24 July. “Charmene (Yap) is the star of my new film clip and it was choreographed by Cassius. Transmutant is my first album of originals in almost four years. “It’s a real reflection of my journey of the past four or five years reflecting a huge amount of change and transformation and growth, which is why it’s called, Transmutant,” she says, adding that the album goes back to the organic band sound that she was really missing. “It features members of my band The Captains, Elixir, lots of friends and also strings and French horn and boy soprano - so it has a cinematic orchestral feel to it,” says Noonan. Don’t miss Katie Noonan singing Benjamin Britten’s Les Illuminations alongside ACO2, members of Sydney Dance Company and showcasing dramatic costumes by Helpmann Award-winning Toni Maticevski. -Samuel Cottell EVENT Triptych 25 September-10 October Roslyn Packer Theatre, Walsh Bay www.sydneydanceompany.com September 2015

We start in Seville, tour the Iberian peninsula, cross the Atlantic to Mexico and Cuba, all from the perspective of Australia. Joining them on their journey, North Sydney Symphony is thrilled to welcome soloist Daniel Rojaz, an Australian-Cuban composer and piano virtuoso. He will perform his own Latin American Concerto, a much-acclaimed work full of infectious rhythms, sexy swerves and sun-kissed melodies. But first, to get you in the mood, four works which tap into the idea of Spain. Manuel de Falla’s dance from La Vida Breve captures the edgy romance of Flamenco. Meanwhile, Enrique Granados’s stately dances have an effortless grace that hides a simmering energy. Isaac Albeniz’s Suite Espagnole is a folkinspired tour of the idea of Spain, from Granada to Seville, to Cadiz and Castille then, finally, across the Atlantic to Cuba. From Cuba it is only a short hop to Mexico, and the rocket-powered romp that is Mexican-born composer Arturo Marquez’s Danza No. 2.

be presented at Sydney Grammar School’s brand new state of the art theatre. The Cunning Little Vixen is a philosophical reflection on the uneasiness of man’s relationship with the natural world and his own nature. Told through the intertwining stories of a beautifully glorious vixen and the Forester who attempts to tame and contain her, the opera is at once playful and charming, sexy and deeply tragic. Janácek’s opera was first performed in 1924, and was based on a comic strip story. It was inspired by his study of animals, and his undying, unrequited love of a much younger woman. With a huge romantic score, it is lush, dramatic and intense. Under the baton of internationally renowned conductor Alex Briger, acclaimed director Michael Campbell and performed by Pacific Opera’s cast of outstanding young singers, the opera will be performed with a children’s chorus from Sydney Grammar School and in full symphonic glory with the Sydney Youth Orchestra.

Khachaturian’s Piano Concerto from 1936 is a colourful, tuneful and rhapsodic work which extends the boundaries of the virtuosity of the pianist. The influence of Tchaikovsky is clear with its opening in D Flat, the use of demonic octave scale passages and frequent cadenzas with the main one at the end of the first movement, one of the most technically demanding in the entire piano literature. This has a truly Armenian flavour especially in the slow movement with its quiet opening step-moving melody metamorphosing into a glorious climatic interlude towards the end of the movement. The reprise of the opening theme of the first movement at the conclusion of the finale rounds the work off as a whole. Nareh Arghamanyan has brought a fresh and productive approach to the work which delivers a sense of spaciousness and vivaciousness through an impressive articulation. Prokofiev’s

3rd Concerto from 1921 is by far and away the most popular of his five piano concertos. The intricate nature of this work is spellbinding and despite the fact that it lacks any long cadenzas, compared to Khachaturian’s Concerto, makes it a favourite in concert halls and a work that has enjoyed an ongoing popularity among pianists. Arghamanyan captivates the listener with her precision and vitality throughout the concerto and the scale passages towards the end of the finale which require the pianist to play two notes with one finger is stunningly completed and the SACD recording brings out these nuances superbly. The only downer on this CD is the lack of use of a flexitone in the second movement of the Khachaturian Concerto. Whilst this is not the first recording to do this, I believe that small section of the slow movement benefits from its use. - Frank Shostakovich

arranged by the leader of the ensemble, Elias Meiri. Although I know nothing about traditional Jewish music, these arrangements, and certainly the music written by modern composers, have a distinctly modern, almost “pop”, sound to my ears. Timna Brauer represented Austria in a recent Eurovision Song Contest. In some cases, the Cistercian monks’ Plainchant is accompanied by the instrumental ensemble; the latter, I presume is an anachronistic addition. When the monks are singing unaccompanied (for much of the CD), the result is extremely moving and beautiful, but I have doubts (which could have been cleared up by more informative notes) about the authenticity of the performances of some of the other music and of the music itself. Nor did I find the singing style

of Timna Brauer very appealing; it sounded too secular for this music. – Richard Gate

Well there are not too many of them about but herewith a splendid collection of music composed by William Barton, Sean O’Boyle, Peter Sculthorpe, Matthew Hindson and Ross Edwards, and performed by William Barton, Delmae Barton and Matthew Doyle with the Sydney and Queensland Symphony Orchestras blending beautifully with the texture and the rhythms of the didg. The word is a Western invention probably the result of attempts to imitate the sound of the instrument. The instrument itself is recognised around the world as an iconic part of the traditional music of indigenous Australia, its rich, full tones seeing to evoke the breadth of the land itself. This album is a celebration of that ancient voice, and the music it has inspired from Australia’s great composers. As didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton explains, “The didgeridoo is a language. It is a speaking language,

it’s something that you’ve got to learn over many months and many years. It’s got to be a part of you and what you do”. The instrument is traditionally made from tree trunks or branches that have been hollowed out by termites; stringybark, woollybutt and red river gum are among the most common woods used. O’Boyle’s and Barton’s Concerto feature movements Earth, Wind, Water and Fire with the QSO are directed by O’Boyle. Sculthorpe’s charming Songs of Sea and Sky and Earth Cry again are accompanied by QSO with Michael Christie conducting. Barton is joined by singer Delmae Barton in a charming duet and there are many other gems. Ross Edwards’ Dawn Mantra is performed by Sydney Children’s Choir conducted by Lyn Williams, with Cantillation, soprano Jane Sheldon and other performers. - Emyr Evans

✶✶✶✶ Across the Top With Paul Cutlan, Brett Hirst and The Noise Tall Poppies

✶✶✶✶✶ It’s not too unusual to be invited to review some of the more regular composers but across my desk arrived works belonging to Paul Cutlan. His uniquely expressive voice as a multiinstrumentalist and composer is informed by many styles, including contemporary classical music, world music and jazz. Cutlan graduated from the Tasmanian Conservatorium in 1987 and his most prominent instrument is the bass clarinet but he also plays the soprano sax. Notable jazz acts include Ten Part Invention, James Morrison Quintet, Judy Bailey and others and Cutlan has backed James Newton, Jerry

In this two-disc Gershwin Collection, Simon Tedeschi provides an unabashed, introspective rendition of some timeless, and even lesser known Gershwin pieces. For me, what was lacking in this package of two good CDs was more detailed liner notes. It would have been interesting for listeners to have some context to some of the unknown works, particularly Jazzbo Brown Blues (taken from Porgy and Bess). Most performers choose to display sparkling displays of brilliance in a salute to the popping champagne and fast machinery of American life. Tedeschi draws the listener in on a more intimate and personal level, really adding his own stamp to the material. Tedeschi has a more rounded approach to many of the Gershwin pieces,

Lewis and Michael Bublé, and participated in many festivals including WOMAD in the UK. In 1997, he joined world/jazz group MARA with whom he has toured extensively. As a result he’s been privy to a variety of distinguished styles and been involved with many well known world-wide musicians. The NOISE which features on the disc, described as a string quartet for the new century began life improvising together in a little terrace cottage in Sydney, fusing together their multifarious musical personalities and interests from across the musical spectrum, into a unique ensemble sound. Amongst the music is Times Past which leads us into Across the Top Suite whose melodic ideas were written during a tour with world music band MARA. Dawning Dark is a completely improvised piece and Perhaps Next Time is a gentle Latin-jazz composition with a Elements: Simon Gleeson SG24601

This debut album from musical theatre star, Simon Gleeson, will not leave anyone disappointed. Currently starring as Jean Valjean in the acclaimed new production of Cameron Mackintosh’s Les Miserables, Gleeson shows that he is a world-class singer and actor. On this recording, he has assembled songs that are a personal testament, reflecting elements of his life, as well as his stage persona. Composers and song-writers, such as Stephen Sondheim,

holding the chords and harmonies for just a moment longer to allow them to sink in, to great effect (that’s the beauty of Gershwin’s music, you can go nearly anywhere with it). This is very effective when joined by vocalist Sarah McKenzie, who provides a lush and dreamy rendition of Embraceable You. There is also the appearance of James Morrison on two of the tracks adding a New Orleans feel to the pieces. In contrast, are Tedeschi’s solo piano and orchestral versions of the iconic Rhapsody In Blue, adding sparkling brilliance and exuberance to the mix. Add to that some brilliant mixing and recording by ARIA Award winner Virginia Reed, and you couldn’t ask for anything more. - Samuel Cottell

fluidly shifting harmonic progression bringing the music to a close. Some fascinating moods and reflections complemented by some quite vigorous varied rhythmic moments contribute to some compelling performances. - EE Richard Rodgers, Elton John, George Harrison, Billy Joel, Matt Alber, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, have been placed alongside each other, creating a strong selection of some of the greatest songs ever produced. Gleeson has a voice that is beautifully rich and full of colour, from the highest notes in his range to the darker low register. In each song, he tells a story with clarity and ease. A Bit of Earth and End of the World sit easily alongside iconic show songs such as Anthem (Chess), Being Alive (Company), and Bring Him Home (Les Miserables). - Barry Walmsley September 2015

Young virtuosi Inaugural schools concert a credit to young musicians It’s always music to my ears when bedazzled audience members emerge from a memorable performance, shaking their heads with wonder and still enthusing about the “extraordinary talent the next generation has to offer”. It was even more gratifying to hear such comments from impressed audience members following the joint Young Virtuosi/Sydney Girls High School concert on 15 July. The inaugural event was essentially a pilot run to increase Fine Music’s Young Virtuosi (YV) program’s outreach and exposure across NSW secondary schools as a platform for showcasing up-and-coming artists - especially those who might not have the opportunity to develop or express their musical interests. The project was conceived after I had proposed to YV co-ordinator Judy Deacon that for many burgeoning musicians nowadays, hours of invested practice and refinement often go unrewarded due to the lack of opportunity to share their passion with others. As an AMusA Piano graduate practicing six hours straight behind closed doors, I could testify to feeling more than a little wistful that nobody was there to indulge in the lull of Chopin’s Berceuse or the schizophrenia of Debussy’s Cakewalk with me. Thus, I was eager to create a social event which would bring parents, students and community members together to enjoy and celebrate the hidden musicality behind Sydney Girls’ High School’s (SGHS) walls. Updates from Sydney Eisteddfod Halina Leung a stand-out in piano Piano awards in the Sydney Eisteddfod Festival are hotly contested with the Kawai Piano Award (Any Age) being one of the recent to attract a significant number of entries. Thirtynine pianists entered the heats with only six making it through to the final. Finalists were required to perform a program of two or three works contrasting in style and period. Event winner, Halina Leung, played pieces by Bach and Henry Cowell and impressed adjudicator, Yoon Sen Lee with ‘very subtle usage of the pedal’. Leung further demonstrated her skill as winner of the 18th Century Piano (16) event plus received 3rd place in competition for 19th Century Piano (16).

Performers at the Young Virtuosi/ Sydney Girls High School concert

After months of constant emailing, appointments and many hours camped outside the Music Head Teacher’s staffroom, we managed to pull together an impressive line-up of six performers, including the prestigious SGHS Chamber Orchestra, Senior Vocal Ensemble and soprano Katherine Allen, a feature artist in the 2013 and 2014 Schools Spectacular. Sydney Boys’ High School (SBHS) also sent three ‘imports’ from across the green - pianists Star Qui and Tim Luo and violinist Richard Hao. For its part, YV’s own (rather intimidating) line-up consisted of four artists: 2012 YVA Finalist Theresa Yu (piano), along with saxophonist Simon Watts, violist Sarah Sung and bass Christopher Nazarian - all finalists or semi-finalists in the 2015 YVA. An intimate crowd of around 50 made for a

warm and hearty music-filled night. The SGHS Chamber Orchestra opened the concert with select movements from Vivaldi’s Concerto for two Violins featuring SGHS soloists Daisy Wong and Arelia Te. This was followed by solo piano and violin performances from Sarah Sung and the SBHS representatives - of which a standout for me was Tim Luo’s short yet dynamic rendition of Arnold Bax’s Burlesque. The SGHS Senior Vocal Ensemble delighted everyone with an angelic harmonisation of No One is Alone from the Disney’s film Into the Woods. The YV artists then came out in full force - Nazarian making an impact with Verdi’s Banquos aria from Macbeth; Yu’s shimmering execution of Granados’ The Maiden and the Nightingale; and my favourite – Watts’ humorous, almost-bipolar performance of Ku Ku by Barry Cockroft. The penultimate act featured Katherine Allen in soaring renditions of Look at Me from The Dreamers and all-time Puccini classic, O mio babbino Caro. Finishing the evening with a triumphant flourish, the Chamber Orchestra returned to the stage with two movements from Grieg’s Holberg Suite. In the small yet intimate concert hall, the final crescendo and tremolo of the violins seemed to reverberate through the air long after the last note had sounded. - Alison Zhou

Jazz CD Reviews Discourse with Kevin Jones

People Will Say We’re In Love Nicki Parrott and Rossano Sportiello Arbors ARCD 19335

✶✶✶✶ The news that the label has resumed recording new albums again after the death of its founder Matt Domber in 2012 is the great news for lovers of modern mainstream jazz like me. Hopefully bassist and vocalist Nicki Parrott and pianist Rossano Sportiello will be given the chance to record more discs like this. The late guitarist Les Paul, with whose trio Parrott was a member at many gigs at The Iridium jazz club in New York, described her as “a special gift you cannot buy in a record store”. It is refreshing to hear her sing in an era when my musical intellect

is being polluted by a never ending assembling line of “pop princesses” including the over hyped Lady Gaga. Already Parrott has recorded Two Songbirds Of A Feather on this label with vocalist Rebecca Kilgore and a Beautiful Friendship with the impressive Alexis Cole and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli on the Japanese Venus label (watch this space). The classically trained Sportiello needs no introduction. His versatility enables him to move from bop to stride with aplomb; in fact some critics have called him the finest stride pianist since Fats Waller, even eclipsing Ralph Sutton. If you wonder why this duo is so in demand at jazz festivals, listen to the title track, which has become a favourite of mine, the bitter sweet approach to They Say

One of the highlights of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival tribute to Duke Ellington - and for some it was THE highlight - was Ben Webster’s rendition of Chelsea Bridge with a group which included the composer Billy Strayhorn. Tragically, it is doubtful if it was ever taped live for posterity which makes this re-issue recorded at The Renaissance, a small club on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip on December 9, 1959 with the tenor titan in full flight so invaluable. It seems ludicrous that a saxophonist of Webster’s stature who played with such passion and intensity until the very end was, at this stage of his career, taken for granted like so many others of his generation. When he went to Europe four years later never to return Webster must have wished he had this group with him - a “boss” rhythm section

Kessel/Discourse “to swing or not to swing” Barney Kessel Poll Winners PWR27278

✶✶✶✶✶ The two guitarists who dominated my listening and gave me the most pleasure as I was discovering jazz during the 1950’s were introduced to me by the recordings of two of the giants of the Swing Era, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw. The first was Charlie Christian, the father of the modern jazz guitar who influenced the second, Barney Kessel, probably the most popular on the instrument during that decade. I have often wondered why the West Coast jazz scene was criticised so much by some critics; there were few better ways at the time of finding unheard treasures in

The Great American Songbook. As for the myth that it didn’t swing, listen to Kessel’s composition Begin The Blues from this 1955 Los Angeles session, a rhythmically flowing tour de force. Or better still, On A Slow Boat To China from a recording date the previous year which included such luminaries as pianist Hampton Hawes and drummer Shelly Manne who dominated the popularity polls during the 1950s. Although I would have liked to have heard more from Bill Perkins, the then young tenor veteran of the Woody Herman and Stan Kenton orchestras, the most memorable moments on the 1955 session come from Kessel and trumpeter Harry “Sweets” Edison. Dig his splendid muted solo on Louisiana. Kessel’s playing is full of melodic richness on the ballads when he was accompanied by just the

I once described Frank Sinatra’s singing as hairy-chested on his best album for Reprise (RingA-Ding Ding); well for hairy-chested tenor blowing you won’t get a better example than Webster growling, roaring with a virile tone through an extended version of Caravan, more than living up to the “brute” side of his Jekyll and Hyde personality. The sentimental side is exemplified on Georgia On My Mind and Star Dust where the beauty of his sound gives both ballads a unique touch of tenderness. At this time, there were few, if any, other tenor saxophonists I would rather have listened to. Today there are none.

SWINGING ON THE VINE Digging The Duke Wrapped in a rug, warmed by several glasses of Shiraz and my stockinged feet resting on the belly of a drunken Big J lost in piggy dreams of inebriation, I contemplate life in all its mysteries as the howling wind and sleet lash my Hunter Valley hideaway. It must have been a bitterly cold night like this when on November 7, 1940 two jazz fanatics taped live four sets by Duke Ellington and his Orchestra at a dance in the Fargo City Auditorium in North Dakota. It’s one of the greatest recordings in jazz - two and a half hours of music by the greatest of all big bands raging from standards to rare gems, from sentimental ballads to swinging dance pieces. Forty-two years after his death on May 24, 1974, Ellington remains the unrivalled master of the jazz ensemble. No other jazz musician, composer and arranger has produced such fresh and beautiful music in such quantities for so long - thousands of compositions and recordings, from the three and four-minute jazz track, to the suites, extended works and sacred concerts. Ellington’s jazz was tonal, atmospheric and blues-based - but elegant. The sound he created was a tapestry of bluesy textures, swing and solo instrumental voices who growled, cried and wailed. It’s interesting to return to the pages of Duke: A Life of Duke Ellington by Terry Teachout, the drama critic for The Wall Street Journal. It was his second jazz biography; the first was Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong, an excellent look at the music’s irresistible genius. Teachout, a sensitive writer, shows his anguish as he delves into the realities of American racial history: the brutal, demeaning and bigotry against blacks who were Jim Crowed from the moment they first became aware of music. They were barred from jobs in radio stations, with successful hotel bands and even on recording sessions except under segregated conditions. Big band jazz

would reach its high water mark with the great Ellington orchestra of 1940-42 yet, like other great coloured orchestras, it was excluded from the very best hotels and venues which were usually filled by the best white swing bands such as those led by Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw. This band was full of all stars and musical malcontents who played together, soloed luminously but were not competitive. The array of soloists, who included such stellar names as Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster, Harry Carney, Jimmy Blanton and “Tricky” Sam Nanton, remains unrivalled in jazz’s annals. His recordings on the RCA Victor label in this period are virtually all classics; examples: Across The Track Blues, Warm Valley and All Too Soon. And the Duke led the band in all his majesty as if he was royalty with a high sense of style and elegance. However, Teachout reveals that Ellington was not a very nice person, exploiting the musicians he gathered and held so close. Like his women, and Ellington was a notorious womaniser, he often used them quite coldly. He was rarely the sole composer of the music associated with his name, many being collaborations with band members who did not always receive credit - or royalties - when the songs were recorded and published. For example, much of Mood Indigo is clarinettist Barney Bigard’s and two of his biggest hits, Never No Lament (Don’t Get Around Much Anymore) and I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart, began as riffs by Hodges. No wonder the alto saxophonist used to sit as if counting money during concerts when the Duke played an Ellingtonian medley. However, they were not all riffs and simple blues phrases but as rich in melodic ideas as any compositions by George Gershwin or Richard Rodgers. The melodies may have begun with his sidemen but Ellington owned them. His genius was being able to take other men’s ideas and make them his own. One of the best pieces ever written about Ellington was a long profile in The New Yorker magazine in 1944 by Richard O. Boyer under the title “The Hot Bach”. Boyer wrote about the strange life Ellington led in his heyday: composing music on trains at four in the morning, playing in a different town every night, having breakfast at 9pm where he would consume a dinner fit for four. This led to one his sidemen to remark: “He’s a genius alright but Jesus, how he eats”. Ellington told Boyer: “You can say anything you like on the trombone but you gotta be careful with words”. I’ll drink to that … - Patrick D.Maguire

September program highlights This month we celebrate three outstanding musicians who have recently died - ItalianFrench pianist Aldo Ciccolino, Russian-British violinist, Lydia Mordkovitch and British composer and pianist, John McCabe. VALE ALDO CICCOLINO Friday, 11 September, 2.30–4pm Aldo Cicccolini regarded himself as an Italian pianist with a French soul. The obituaries speak of his “pearly, translucent tone and nimble finger work’ and ‘technical virtuosity, airy lyricism and cool, assiduous elegance”. Born in Naples in 1925, Ciccolino entered the Naples Conservatory at the age of 9, studying piano, harmony and counterpoint. He gave his first performance at the Teatro di Carlo when he was 13 and subsequently won major scholarships and awards, including, importantly, a major French award that took him to Paris. He became a French citizen in 1969, teaching at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1970 to 1988 where his students included renowned pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Ciccolino appeared with the New York Philharmonic in 1950 with great success, and then in Wigmore Hall in London. He returned to Italy in 1955 to perform at La Scala but France was his base for the rest of his life. His 50 year career there was celebrated in 1999 by a concert at the Theatre de Champs Elysees. Ciccolino had an extensive repertoire but was most acclaimed as an interpreter of and advocate for French piano music. In particular he was known for his performances and recordings of the works of Erik Satie. He made more than 100 recordings, many of them for the EMI-Pathe Marconi label, including recordings of the complete piano sonatas of Mozart and Beethoven, the complete solo piano works of Debussy and two separate cycles of the complete piano works of Satie. This afternoon’s program includes works by the French composers D’Indy, Severac and Massenet as well as two works by Spanish composers who he also favoured. VALE LYDIA MORDKOVITCH Sunday, 20 September, 2–4pm Lydia Mordkovitch, the Russian born violinist who eventually made her career in Britain, died of cancer in December 2014 at the age of 70. She was known for her focus on the dark side of twentieth century composers, especially from 22

Russia and Britain, her intense and mesmerising performances of Shostakovich and Prokoviev and for her championing of British composers including E J Moeran whose violin concerto concludes today’s program. Born Lydia Shtimerman in Saratov, on the River Volga in southeast Russia, to parents unable to afford a piano, Mordkovitch was given her first violin at age seven. She was a student in Odessa and in Moscow with David Oistrakh, and then his associate for several years. In 1974 she moved with her family to Israel. She lived in Jerusalem for six years where the founder of Chandos Records ‘discovered’ her. Chandos became her recording label with more than 60 recordings including a 1990 Gramophone Award for her recording of two Shostakovich violin concertos. Mordkovitch made her British debut with the Halle Orchestra in 1979 and in 1980 she moved to London. She made her American debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Georg Solti in 1982 and performed subsequently with many of the major orchestras and conductors of the day. She was also a highly respected teacher, said to be equally feared and loved by her students. From 1995 she was a Professor at the Royal Academy of Music. In today’s program, there are works by Kabalevsky and Medtner representing her commitment to Russian music and by Stanford as well as the Moeran concerto highlighting her English repertoire. The Ulster Orchestra, conducted by Vernon Handley, performs both of the English works and all of the recordings in this program are on the Chandos label.

SUNDAY SPECIAL: TRIBUTE TO JOHN McCABE Sunday, 27 September, 2–4pm John McCabe, British composer and pianist and all-round musician and teacher, was born near Liverpool in 1939. After being badly burnt in a childhood accident he was home-schooled for eight years providing the opportunity for his intensive exposure to music and his early composing. He had written 13 symphonies by the age of 11 and although he later discarded most of them, he remained a prolific composer throughout his life as well as maintaining a busy career as a soloist for several decades. His oeuvre of more than 200 works includes seven symphonies, more than 20 concertante works, concerti for piano, violin, viola and many other instruments and eight ballet scores, as well as solo works mostly for piano. He demonstrated a strong sense of colour and landscape and made striking use of brass and percussion. John McCabe studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now the Royal Northern) and in Munich. In the 1960s he was pianist in residence in Cardiff and in 1974-76 recorded all of Haydn’s piano sonatas for Decca. He came to major international notice for the song cycle, Notturni ed alba, for soprano and orchestra and for the Concerto for orchestra, played in this afternoon’s program by the Royal Liverpool Orchestra conducted by Douglas Bostock. John McCabe’s most recent work was Christ’s Nativity, commissioned by the Halle Choir and premiered in Manchester in December 2014. This afternoon’s program, following on from a program by Patrick Thomas earlier this year, was chosen by Ross Hayes as a tribute to the life and career of this consummate musician, including two short examples of McCabe as a pianist as well as a range of his compositions. - Cynthia Kaye CONTINUING SERIES MINING THE MAJORS – Saturdays 9.30–11.30am WEBER EXPLORED – Wednesdays 3–4pm OPERA – Wednesdays at 8pm: 2 September, 8-11pm Mozart, W: Idomeneo 9 September, 8–11pm Gounod, C: Romeo et Juliette 16 September 8–10.30pm Donizetti, G: L’Elisir d’Amore 23 September, 8–11.30pm Prokoviev, S: War and Peace 30 September, 8–10.30pm Opera oscura: the drama delegated Salieri, A: Les Danaides

Idomeneo, King of Crete, saved from a shipwreck, has promised Neptune to sacrifice the first person he meets. It is his son Idamante. Idomeneo is advised he could substitute the sacrifice if Idamante is exiled. Idomeneo arrives to farewell his son before his ship sails to Greece. During a powerful storm a large serpent arises from the waves and Idomeneo, recognising Neptune’s messenger, offers his own life to the god. Although Ilia, a captured Trojan princess, secretly loves Idamante, she has always rejected him. Returning to the palace Idamante tells Ilia he must fight the serpent. Ilia confesses her love. Idomeneo interrupts them and sends his son to escort Electra to her home but the monster that ravages the land prevents the embarkation. Idamante kills the monster. Idomeneo confesses his vow and agrees to the sacrifice of his son. Idamante arrives dressed in sacrificial robes ready to die. Ilia begs to be allowed to take his place. Neptune proclaims that love has triumphed so he no longer requires Idamante’s death. Idomeneo must resign his crown to Idamante and Ilia as the new rulers of Crete. Bishop, H.

Nemorino, a peasant, loves Adina, a rich landowner, but she rejects him, as well as the newly arrived Sergeant Belcore. Dr Dulcamara, a quack, sells the desperate Nemorino a supposed elixir of love which is actually wine. To provoke Nemorino, Adina accepts Belcore’s proposal to marry. Nemorino enlists in Belcore’s regiment and buys more elixir. The village girls discover that Nemorino’s uncle has left him a fortune and flock around him, which he attributes to the elixir. Adina asks Dulcamara why Nemorino is so happy and he tells her how he has bought elixir to win the love of a cruel beauty. She is touched by Nemorino’s devotion and buys his freedom from the army. He refuses unless she loves him and she kisses him to show her love. 22:30 STAR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH Prepared by Stephen Wilson

Melodiya MA 3026 3:07 Natasha and Andrei become engaged but when Anatole declares his love for Natasha she decides to elope with him. Their plans are thwarted and, in her despair, Natasha does not notice that Pierre is declaring his love for her. Napoleon invades Russia; Kutuzov is greeted enthusiastically by the Russians before the battle at Borodino. Kutuzov decides to retreat and allow the French to take Moscow in order to preserve his army and save his motherland. The French army enters the burning city. Pierre becomes obsessed with killing Napoleon in revenge for the suffering of the Russian people. Whilst lying gravely wounded, Andrei talks of Natasha in his delirious ravings. She appears and, when he is convinced she is real, he declares he still loves her. Natasha begs forgiveness and Andrei dies in her arms. Russian prisoners, including Pierre, are being taken with the French army as it retreats from Moscow. They are rescued by partisans. They and the Russian soldiers greet Kutuzov with jubilation and thanksgiving for the routing of the enemy. Violin sonata in D, op 115 (1947). Gil Shaham, vn.

He and his brothers each agree to marry one of the Danaïdes; Danaus instructs his daughters to take revenge by killing their husbands on their wedding night.

for vengeance. After the wedding ceremony, Hypermnestra manages to escape with Lynceus, just as his brothers are being killed. Danaus is enraged when news of Lynceus’s escape reaches him, but he is distracted from his anger when Lynceus storms the city, killing all fifty of the Danaïdes except Hypermnestra and burning the palace to the ground.
