NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
In common with thousands of other media organisations, 2MBS Fine Music has been forced to confront the arrival of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), which threatens to revolutionise the way society functions, and potentially the way we operate. It’s no exaggeration to say that its development puts it on a par with the general adoption of the internet itself in 1993. We ignore it at our peril; therefore we have decided to publish a series of articles over the next few months, explaining what GAI is, how it works in relation to writing about music, its benefits and risks for us, and issues of ethical use, copyright, and plagiarism.
We will start the process with an article about the celebrated French film music composer Maurice Jarre, who was born exactly 100 years ago in September 1924. A three-time Oscar winner, he wrote the music for over 170 films, gaining the praise and respect of such film luminaries as Alfred Hitchcock, David Lean, and John Williams. I had never used an AI tool such as ChatGPT to help me write an article before, so this was both an experiment and a learning curve for me. In October’s FMM, I will go into the process in more detail, allowing comparison of the original ChatGPT-generated text, and the edited version as it appears in this month’s issue.
Whether you are excited, enthused, or enraged by this development, please feel free to let me know your thoughts at the email address below.

Maurice Jarre: Giant of 20th century film music
“I have not given you a great film, but you have given me a great score.”
The words of Alfred Hitchcock, notoriously loath to give credit to his collaborators, congratulating Jarre for his work on Topaz (1969), after falling out with Bernard Hermann over the score for Torn Curtain (1969).
The renowned French composer Maurice Jarre was known almost exclusively for his work on more than 170 film scores. Born on September 13, 1924, in Lyon, France, his early musical experiences were grounded in classical training. Against his father’s will, he enrolled at the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied composition and orchestration with Arthur Honegger. After army service in WWII, he played percussion for a number of groups, becoming friends with Pierre Boulez and Georges Delerue, and was appointed musical director of the Théâtre National Populaire.
Jarre’s breakthrough came with the collaboration with film maker David Lean that truly catapulted him into international prominence. Their partnership began with Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), a film that required a score both majestic and memorable to complement its epic narrative. Jarre’s composition for this film became a significant part of its success and established him as a leading film composer.
Following this triumph, Jarre continued to work with Lean on a series of highly acclaimed films. His score for Lawrence of Arabia (1962) is perhaps his most famous work, embodying the grandeur and mystique of the Arabian desert with sweeping, evocative themes. The score’s use of exotic instruments and expansive orchestration mirrored the film’s epic scope and played a crucial role in conveying its dramatic narrative, although controversially, the orchestration was mainly the work of Gerard Schurmann, initially one of three composers hired to write the score. For various reasons, Jarre ended up writing all the music himself, winning his first Academy Award. A second Oscar followed for Doctor Zhivago (1965), further solidifying his reputation, for a score that beautifully complemented the film’s romantic and dramatic elements, making use of the balalaika and Russian folksongs.
In addition to his work with Lean, Jarre collaborated with other notable directors, such as Alan Resnais, Jacques Demy, Jean-Paul Rappeneau, and Alfred Hitchcock. Previously unknown in America, he moved to the USA where he worked with John Huston, John Frankenheimer, and Peter Weir, composing scores for a diverse array of films. His score for A Passage to India (1984) continued his tradition of crafting music that enhanced the narrative and emotional depth of a film, winning him a third Academy Award.
Jarre’s approach to film scoring often involved blending traditional orchestral elements with innovative sounds and techniques. He was known for his ability to adapt his musical style to the unique requirements of each film, whether it was creating the haunting melodies for The Night of the Generals (1967) or the vibrant, rhythmic music for The Man Who Would Be King (1975). His versatility and willingness to experiment with different musical forms made him a highly sought-after composer in the film industry. Jarre also experimented in the 1980s with electronic sounds, the most successful result being the acclaimed synthesiser score to Witness (1985), for which he won a BAFTA.
Jarre’s influence extended beyond film music, as he also composed for stage productions and television, and wrote music for concerts, ballet and opera. He was well respected by his peers, including the film composer John Williams, who wrote on Jarre’s death in March 2009, “He is to be well remembered for his lasting contribution to film music ... we all have been enriched by his legacy.”

Gustav Holst: The Weekend Composer Who Shot to Fame
by Michael Morton-Evans
This month sees the 150th anniversary of the birth of Gustavus Theodore von Holst, who, despite his name, was the most English of English composers, the family having emigrated from Sweden in 1807. His ancestry was ultimately German, but at the start of World War I, as a patriotic gesture, he cleansed his name of all Germanisms and became known simply as Gustav Holst.
By all accounts the young Holst started composing almost as soon as he could hold a pen, but had it in mind to follow in his parents’ footsteps and become a professional pianist. This was, however, a dream denied him when a neuritic condition in his right arm made that impossible. Undaunted, he took up the trombone, which he played in summer resorts and theatre orchestras, while studying at the Royal College of Music. That he got a place in that august college was serendipitous – he’d twice applied for a scholarship and been turned down, and only just scraped in on the third attempt.
His best friend at school was Ralph Vaughan Williams, whom one suspects was slightly jealous of him and who was to say of him later: “Holst’s weaknesses are the defects of his qualities – occasionally his magnificent technique masters him and the end gets lost in the means.” It’s true that Holst’s works could range from utter simplicity, like his Four Carols to the intricacies and elaborations of The Planets suite, but there was no doubting his mastery of the music page.
Leaving the Royal College, Holst had an idea that he might follow an opera writing career, and to that end he joined the Carl Rosa Opera Company as a trombonist and parttime conductor. In 1893 his operetta Landsdowne Castle was performed by an amateur group. It was really only a take-off of Arthur Sullivan and went nowhere, likewise The Idea, intended mainly for children. He consequently burned the score of The Magic Mirror on being told that it was far too imitative.
Realising at that stage that he couldn’t live on his writing, he embarked on a teaching career, working as the music
master at a school in suburban London, followed by what was to become a lifelong intendency at St Paul’s Girls School in Hammersmith. Such was his workload that composition could now only be undertaken at weekends.
It wasn’t really until 1919 at the age of 45 that he cemented his place in Britain’s musical annals. When war broke out in 1914, he was rejected for military service, his health never the best throughout his entire lifetime. For the next two years, inspired by a talk with a friend about the power of astrology, he worked at a set of seven symphonic poems based on the characteristics of the then-known planets. When completed, it was premiered publicly by the New Queen’s Orchestra under Sir Adrian Boult and was an instant success. By nature a very shy man, Holst was embarrassed by the attention now given to him, and the public was disappointed that he was never able to deliver a work of like popularity ever again. But Holst had no interest in fame.
He became teacher of composition at the Royal College of Music in 1919, worked himself into a nervous breakdown in 1924 and spent the rest of his life in seclusion, dying in 1934 at the age of 60.

Obituary: John Buchanan OAM (Jan 1935 – July 2024)
Keith Pettigrew celebrates the life of jazz luminary John Buchanan, musician, performer, entrepreneur and broadcaster, whose long involvement with the Sydney jazz scene culminated in an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) and fifteen years of broadcasting at 2MBS Fine Music Sydney.
John Buchanan was born in the post-depression pre-war swing era of jazz, in 1935. He first became interested in the music of the 1920s and 1930s during his teenage years. He often argued convincingly that the music of the 1930s was not really jazz, but rather the popular music of the times: modern dance music from the period when people danced together; post-depression excitement with life, the importance of the radio as entertainment, the emergence of the radio big bands, and thence to their touring dance halls of America. The swing era.
the War Memorial Hall with a band called the Peoria Jazz Band, and we had a lot of fun. “I managed to encourage people to come up, good musicians to come up and play with us and sit in with us.”
It seemed a natural progression from running a band, to staging jazz concerts, fancying that he would modestly try and start a jazz revival. “I thought we’ll just try one concert and then see what happens. It did well and led me on to doing other ones and then doing a few jazz festivals”, Buchanan reflected. “I’ve enjoyed working with all the musicians and enjoyed sharing my enthusiasm for the music with the people who come along to the concerts and festivals”.
While he had always had an interest in music, a concert at the Sydney Town Hall in April 1952 placed jazz music on the map for the young Buchanan: “I have vivid memories of going to the Town Hall that Monday night. Eight musicians ran out onto the stage, all dressed in green suits. It was Graeme Bell’s Australian Jazz band, just having returned from a European tour, and the first number they played that night was High Society, an old New Orleans march, but it was a march that really had a different sound about it, a beat about it and a swing about it… and that’s when it all started,” he said.
Buchanan frequented jazz clubs around Sydney, in particular the Sydney Jazz Club’s weekly venue. “It was below street level in the middle of Martin Place,” explained Buchanan. “The house band, the Paramount Jazz Band was a great traditional band. Harry Harmon was the band leader, and they gave us great music every Saturday night.”
Eventually, Buchanan began playing in bands himself, trumpet in hand, as well as ‘trying to battle through’, gaining qualifications in accountancy.
Around this time, Buchanan also began his own band: “I lived in Dural, and at that time we ran a monthly dance at
John frequently maintained that the end of the swing era started with dancing partners going off to war, and often not coming back. The 1960s rolled around and the rock’n’roll era hit jazz, basically ‘knocking it for six’ with performers like Bill Haley and Chubby Checker. And then there was Woodstock. He found that the world had lost interest in traditional jazz, however, in the mid-1970s with the formation of Tom Baker’s San Francisco Jazz Band in Sydney, Buchanan’s enthusiasm was reawakened.
Apart from the many concerts and festivals, John wrote extensively on jazz (as well as his other passion, cricket), and was involved in many live recording sessions. Over the past twenty years he has been involved in broadcasting with several FM radio stations. He joined 2MBS Fine Music Sydney in 2009 and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the 2016 Australia Day Honours List for ‘services to jazz music, and to the broadcast media’. That phrase understates a lifetime of entrepreneurial activity, following the memorable day when he heard the Graeme Bell band at the Sydney Town Hall.
For fifteen years of swing and classic jazz broadcasting with 2MBS, the FineJazz team kept John in the studio, thriving on each new episode; so much to say about the comings and goings of the musicians, so many anecdotes, revelling in the tunes. John’s enthusiasm was infectious. He will be missed.

Hi Five: bandleader Steve Fitzmaurice
By Barry O’Sullivan
Barry O’Sullivan talks with Steve Fitzmaurice, Sydney-based saxophone and woodwind musician, arranger and composer, who specialises in playing the baritone saxophone. He is the leader of the nine-piece jazz ensemble Mingus Amongst Us, which plays regularly in jazz clubs and festivals all over Australia. Featuring some of Australia’s best jazz musicians, Mingus Amongst Us perfectly captures the raucous, fiery energy that Charles Mingus and his compositions were famous for.
When did playing jazz music first enter your life and who were some of the artists who influenced your style?
I was introduced to jazz in high school when I met the wonderful Danny Egger, whom a lot of Sydney musicians would know well. He was a few years above me at school, but we hit it off musically immediately. I still vividly remember him giving me a cassette of Cannonball Adderley that he had copied. It was the album Sharpshooter, and I was hooked! Because of Danny, my first huge influence was Cannonball, and then of course it didn’t take me long to find out about Charlie Parker.
I started playing tenor saxophone at school and fell in love with Sonny Rollins’ playing. It is funny how your tastes can change over time. I loved listening to Sonny but couldn’t handle listening to John Coltrane. Now, one of the most beautiful sounds I could hear is just one note from Coltrane’s horn when he plays a ballad. I first heard of Charles Mingus when I was studying at the Sydney Conservatorium, and uncoincidentally, I changed to playing the baritone saxophone. As with my other idol Duke Ellington, these musicians wrote so well for the baritone. The baritone player who influenced me most would be Ronnie Cuber. Secondly, Harry Carney, with Nick Brignola after that. Leo Parker has to get a mention too! What are your current musical projects?
My orchestra, Mingus Amongst Us, has been my main project for almost fifteen years. I have just released a beautiful new double vinyl album of the band that I am busily promoting and looking for new venues to perform at. The orchestra has been a wonderful labour of love for me.
Arnold Schoenberg: The Musical Disruptor
Derek Parker sketches the life and career of Arnold Schoenberg, the Austrian modernist composer whose controversial music is either regarded as a stake into the heart and practice of harmony in 20th-century classical music, a musical terror, or as pianist Pina Napolitano puts it, ’an invincible combination of intellect and passion, discipline and expressivity’ at the very centre of the development of the art in the 20th century.
In 1965 I was sleeping on the pavement outside Covent Garden Opera House, one of the more than 100 people queueing for tickets for the coming appearance of Maria Callas in Tosca. In the early morning a dispute broke out about places, which rapidly escalated. Out from the House came its major-domo, the robust and much-loved exGuardsman, Sergeant Martin. “Order! Order!” he shouted. “Behave yourselves or there’ll only be tickets for Moses und Aaron!”
The threat was a real one; very few people in the queue were interested in the first English performance of Arnold Schoenberg’s opera – though after it had opened with news that Peter Hall’s production contained orgies, simulated sex, bare bosoms, rivers of fake blood, and three naked virgins, tickets became a drug on the market. The music came second, and for many opera-goers, that was the place for it. Apart from which, the composer’s theories of ‘the emancipation of the dissonance’ and ‘the unity of musical space,’ even 70 years after his first works had been published, still bemused all but his most devoted followers.
Schoenberg was born in 1874 of Jewish parents; his father ran a little shoe-shop in Vienna. In the mysterious way musical talent declares itself, Arnold took to the violin when he was eight and almost immediately wrote a waltz and polka for himself and another young violinist. This was followed by duets, trios and – after Arnold had bought himself a battered cello and taught himself to play it – quartets. Forced to work in a bank when his father died, he was delighted when it failed, and encouraged by the composer Alexander von Zemlinsky, he made a sparse living conducting operetta before moving to Berlin, where he conducted the orchestra at the Überbrettl, a cabaret for which he wrote several numbers. They didn’t take, and back in Vienna, he became a freelance teacher whose pupils for counterpoint and harmony included Alban Berg and Anton Webern, completing a trio which blew up all public notions of tunefulness and melody.
During the next few years Schoenberg wrote a number of works which, with the encouragement of Mahler, were performed but audiences greeted them with howls of derision and even anger. Encouraged by his friend the artist Kandinsky, he became a failed painter. But music was his destiny, and he developed his theories of dodecaphony, or twelve-tone serialism, in several works which include the well-known Pierrot Lunaire, for voice and chamber ensemble, and the oratorio Gurrelieder

After World War I, happily married to Zemlinsky’s daughter, and with a growing family, he gradually established himself in Europe as a teacher and propagandist for the ‘new music’. Then, in 1934, no doubt partly due to the rise of the Nazis in Germany, he took himself and the family to America – first to Boston and New York, where he became a friend of George Gershwin, then to Hollywood, perhaps tempted by the example of other European émigrés such as Korngold, Steiner, and Waxman. Alas, we have been denied Schoenberg duets for Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Macdonald! Commissioned by MGM to write a score for the film of Pearl Buck’s The Good Earth, he demanded $50,000 and absolute control of how his music was used. MGM was not amused.
Old age was not kind to Schoenberg, and physical fragility bore down on him, though he continued to compose. Like it or loathe it, his music is at the very centre of the development of the art in the 20th century. His friend Kandinsky said of it in the 20s, that it ‘leads us into a realm where musical experience is a matter not of the ear but
of the soul alone, and at this point the music of the future begins.’
Interested in the occult, Schoenberg insisted for some years that he would die on Friday the 13th. He did, in 1951. According to his wife, his last word was ‘harmony’.
This month our quiz is all about animals, birds and insects.
1. Schubert’s Quintet in A major takes its nickname from which fish?
2. The sound of which animal dancing to bagpipes in the last movement gave Haydn’s Symphony No 82 its nickname?
3. We’re like them according to Handel, and Bach said they could safely graze.
4. Telemann’s Violin Concerto in A major was meant to depict which little aquatic animals?
5. Vaughan Williams wrote some incidental music for a Greek play about these annoying insects.
6. Saint-Saens composed a beautiful cello piece based on which graceful bird?
7. Rossini must have been kept awake all night by the singing of these animals.
8. Chopin’s Etude, Opus 25 No.9 in G flat major acquired a nickname from this insect.

Boccherini Chamber Works for Flute

AVIE AV2698
Michael Tsalka and Diana Weston are both pianists and early keyboard performers: the subtitle of this album, Classical and contemporary music for square piano and harpsichord, indicates the focus of their attention. Roughly two-thirds of the program is devoted to music of the classical era and highlights the virtues of intimacy and clarity. Joseph Baptist Vanhal is represented by keyboard music that seems designed for the drawing rooms of the burgeoning middle classes, as does Beethoven’s setting for soprano and piano duet from Goethe’s Ich denke dein with six variations, written for two of his young pupils. Both these compositions, together with
Luigi Boccherini hovers somewhere between Haydn and Beethoven in the catalogue of Classical composers and often tends to be forgotten between those two titans. Born in Italy, he quickly made his name as a virtuoso cellist and when he was 26 he was made court chamber music composer to the Infanta Don Luis in Madrid, where he was to spend the next 20 years, which may explain why he is sometimes overlooked. It’s his less well-known works for flute that Dr Sally Walker presents on this brilliant 2CD set together with eight Australian colleagues drawn from various orchestras and musical groups. The first CD presents the six quintets of his Opus 19 written in 1771 after he’d been in Madrid for two years.
a sonata by Johann Christian Bach, focus primarily on melody: there is no sense of virtuosic display. By pleasing contrast, the second part of the recital, comprising compositions by Australians Ann Carr-Boyd and Diana Blom, is much more concerned with the colourful and programmatic. In Carr-Boyd’s Moonrise over Lake Argyle, twittering birds are represented by the harpsichord, the lake waters by the square piano.
–Paul Cooke
They are all both lively and gracious. CD2 has a sextet from the end of his time in Spain and a quintet which in all probability wasn’t actually written by him at all, but is nevertheless attributed to him. I didn’t find these two as appealing as the early quartets. Why Boccherini the cellist should have written 18 works especially for the flute while in Spain is anybody’s guess (it’s been suggested that there might have been a virtuoso flautist passing through at the time), one can only be thankful that he did and that Sally Walker and her colleagues have seen fit to record the less well-known ones.

Volunteer Spotlight: Mary Lenart
Robert Gilchrist talks to Mary Lenart, who left war-torn Hungary with her husband after it was invaded by the Russians in 1956. They initially escaped to Vienna where they secured a humanitarian visa from the Red Cross, arriving in Australia in 1957.
Why did you choose Australia?
My husband and I wanted to live in a country which provided political freedom and the chance to start a family and pursue our chosen professions.
What was your profession?
In Hungary, I was awarded a Bachelor of Economics degree. After a period in marketing with Unilever in Australia, the consumer products company, I formed my own company which specialised in qualitative and quantitative consumer market research.
How did you come to hear of 2MBS?
As far back as I can recall, I listened to both 2MBS and the ABC. In the year 2000, when Sydney hosted the Olympic Games, I had my first taste of volunteering. Speaking five languages, I was engaged as an interpreter for the visiting athletes, many of whom saw me as a vital support while away from their own families. The role was deeply satisfying and once the games ended, my life suddenly felt empty. A friend was a receptionist at 2MBS and suggested I volunteer. My long association with 2MBS is a source of pride and joy to this day. It has reinforced my love and enjoyment of classical music and provided many lasting friendships and memories.
What roles have you held at the station?
After joining the marketing committee, one of my major tasks was to conduct listener research and help grow our
subscriber base. I also developed a program called Enjoy Learn Discuss which invited listeners to the station once a month to hear talks by presenters on musical topics they are passionate about. A Q&A session followed and then networking with nibbles. The chance for listeners to put a face to a name really helped the 2MBS profile and created a human connection! I also served as a Board director of 2MBS for two terms.
Where does your love of music come from?
At the age of six, I was introduced to Beethoven’s Appassionata Sonata by my mother who played the piano. I was later introduced to the world of opera through visits to the Budapest Opera House. I grew up with close friends who went on to become world famous classical musicians, including the violinist Gyorgy Pauk and the conductor Istvan Kertesz. They were a huge influence on my love and appreciation of classical music.
Are there moments in your musical journey that stand out?
The opening of the Sydney Opera House. My very young daughter and I were granted special access to tour the almost-open Concert Hall in hard hats alongside my friend and visiting conductor, Istvan Kertesz. Subsequent concerts held in Sydney by my friends Gyorgy Pauk and Peter Frankel opened the door to visits to the Green Room at the Opera House. When they stayed at my home, it was a privilege to hear them rehearsing in my own living room!
What’s your favourite music?
I am particularly fond of Beethoven’s music, especially his Ninth Symphony. I also enjoy anything composed by members of the Strauss family, whose waltzes and polkas are so inspiring and lively!

Herr von Robert is trying to make his uninterested son, Carl, into a scholar. He asks Herr Kinderschreck, the strict and fearsome village schoolmaster, for advice. He recommends to Robert that he employ a strict private tutor, preferably a learned professor from Vienna.
The professor’s letter of refusal, in reply to Robert’s request, is intercepted by the professor’s valet, Luftig, who arrives at Robert’s country house posing as the professor. The maid, Hannchen, recognises him as a past lover whom she still loves. The reluctant scholar, Carl, loves his cousin, Elise. Rather than being exposed as a fraud, Luftig gives in to pressure from Carl and Hannchen and agrees to help frustrate the plans laid by Robert and Kinderschreck so that Carl and
Elise can be together. The many complications that follow are all resolved at a big peasants' celebration resulting in two happy couples: Carl and Elise, Luftig and Hannchen. Campra, A. Le destin du nouveau siècle. Opera-ballet in a prologue and three acts. First performed Paris, 1700.

This opera was a teaching exercise for the Jesuit College de Louis-le-Grand where theatre was regarded as a suitable teaching tool for future public leaders who would need skills such as public speaking. The action begins with the god Saturn announcing that he wants to give the world a new age. The supporters of Peace extol the Pleasures of Peace and the supporters of War argue for Eternal War. Finally, the goddess, Pallas, provides balance to the argument and all is concluded with a grand finale.

A rich old man, Guglielmo, imagines that he is still a great lover and wishes to marry his young maid, Vespina. but she and the servant, Cecchino, are in love. Guglielmo opposes the marriage of his son, Valerio, to Annetta whom he has not met. Intending through charm and deception to persuade Guglielmo to approve their marriage, Annetta introduces herself to Guglielmo as a singer who would like to take part in the next music academy (i.e. concert) that Guglilemo would be holding in his home. Captivated by Annetta, he agrees in writing to Valerio’s marriage on condition that he approve the intended bride. When told that she is Annetta, he cannot withdraw his consent. During the music academy, an elderly woman, Marfisa, bursts in with accusations that, years before, Guglielmo had seduced and abandoned her. Before all of the guests, he is forced to agree to marry her and also agrees to Cecchino’s marriage to Vespina. Momoletto, Annetta’s brother, reveals his disguise as ‘Marfisa’.

The composer Zivny’s affair with Mila had been broken up by her mother but Mila has given birth to Zivny’s son. Zivny has been writing an opera on their affair in which he expresses his bitterness about its ending. However, Zivny and Mila have decided to marry and are living with their four-year-old son and Mila’s mother, now demented. When Zivny plays through some of the opera, Mila’s mother attacks Zivny. When Mila tries to prevent her, the two women fall over a balcony to their deaths. Some years later, Zivny is
teaching at the Conservatorium and students rehearse the opera, which is to be performed although it is unfinished. He tells the students that the story is based on his own life. He sees a vision of Mila and collapses, exclaiming that the end of the opera is now in God’s hands. Pohádka (1910/23). Steven Isserlis, vc; Thomas Adès, pf.

Eva works in a glass factory in Brussels. Octave Flaubert, a Parisian bon vivant,
takes over the management of the factory from his father, the owner. He is captivated by Eva’s beauty and attempts to seduce her by announcing to everyone that she is his fiancée. When she discovers that he doesn’t mean it, she flees to Paris. Courted by a Duke, she is drawn into the life of a demi-mondaine and even begins smoking cigarettes. Octave, lured to Paris by Eva’s concerned companions, is dazzled by her new appearance and realises that he loves her. Eva is tired of the artificial life she has been leading and now finds that Octave is her ‘prince in the fairytale’ coming to her rescue.

The student composer, Anselm, is challenged to write a string quartet by his teacher, Johann. Instead he begins an opera, featuring Johann’s daughter, Lisa, and his friend, Christoph, as well as himself. Anselm and Christoph are both in love with Lisa but, in Anselm’s opera, it is Christoph whom she is to marry. As a wedding gift, Anselm presents them with the first act of his opera. When Lisa gives birth to Christoph’s child, she is distraught at the
loss of her beauty and this leads to a dispute with Christoph. Anselm gives the second act of his opera to Lisa alone and, while she dances to the music of his opera, Christoph discovers them and, in a fit of jealousy, shoots his wife. Anselm assists Christoph to escape and they find themselves in Florence where, at a séance, the appearance of Christoph’s child leads Anselm to believe that he is losing control of his own narrative and, in despair, he runs off on his own. Pondering his failure to master the material of his opera, Anselm returns to reality and begins again to compose the string quartet that had been the original exercise set by his teacher.

Prepared by Elaine Siversen Cimarosa, D. L’impresario in angustie. Opera in one act. Libretto by Giuseppe Maria Diodati. First performed Naples, 1786.

FIORDISPINA: Paola Cigna, sop

DORALBA: Camilla Antonini, mezz

Bruno Maderna O/Aldo Salvagno. Brilliant Classics 95746 1:17
The impresario, Don Grisobolo, is planning his next production with the assistance of his librettist, Don Perizonio, and the composer, Gelindo. Their work is made more complicated by the fact that the three prima donnas of the company, Fiordispina, Merlina and Doralba, all have their own ideas of what their characters should do and go to great lengths to tell the composer, the poet and the impresario what should happen. As well as artistic tensions, the company is beset by romance with Doralba being wooed by Strabinio, Merlina courted by the composer, Gelindo, and poor Fiordispina finds herself in a tug-of-war between the attentions of the impresario and the librettist. The fate of the new production is sealed, however, by the impresario, Don Grisobolo, being declared bankrupt.

Bavarian State Opera Ch & O/Otmar Suitner. The Count and Countess love opera so much that operas are performed every day with the servants forced to participate and with the chambermaid, Hannchen, as conductor. One day, Adolph, the younger Baron von Reinthal, and his servant, Johann, arrive at the palace seeking admission as itinerant players and are welcomed by the Count. Adolph has fled from a marriage to a woman he does not know, arranged for him by his uncle, the elder Baron von Reinthal. Adolph is captivated by Louise, the Count's daughter. Hannchen is surprised to find that Louise is the bride originally planned for Adolph. They decide to keep this between themselves. The Count receives a letter from Adolph's uncle, who says that he is going to visit. As the opera rehearsal enters its most interesting part, the arrival of the uncle leads to some explanations. Adolph discovers that Louise was the bride intended for him and he and Louise declare their love and are betrothed.
