EDITOR’S DESK
On 4 August 1914 Great Britain declared war on Germany – a declaration which was binding on all dominions within the British Empire, including, of course, Australia and New Zealand. The end result, for Australia, as for many nations, was the most costly conflict in terms of deaths and casualties. From a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, over 60,000 of them were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner. Lest we forget. Honoring those brave souls and marking the WW1 centenary, Christopher Bowen OAM, music director of the Sydney University Graduate Choir, has written An Australian War Requiem. The choir will premiere the work at the Sydney Town Hall on 10 August. It will no doubt be a highly emotional occasion, and certainly Bowen was deeply moved as he went through the process of writing this piece. One of the choir’s members, Rosalie O’Neale tells us the story behind the composition. See page 7. On air on 4 August the centenary of the declaration of war is remembered in a program prepared by Michael Morton-Evans – The Pity of War – a miscellany of poems and songs. The jewel in the crown of this month’s concert scene is the visit by classical guitar royalty – the “king” of classical guitar, Pepe Romero. Ron Dolan interviewed the maestro ahead of his debut performance with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. And while there’s still plenty to come from the SSO this year, we are keenly anticipating the “big reveal” – the concert schedule for 2015 which will be announced on Tuesday 12 August. Make sure you tune in that week (in particular!) for all the behind the scenes news and interviews as we take time out to celebrate the country’s finest orchestra. New York based Aussie soprano, the charismatic Rachelle Durkin, gives Allan Scott-Rogers an insight into life on the doorstep of The Met and talks about her role this month as Adina in Opera Australia’s The Elixir of Love. And, last but not least amongst our features, Fine Music’s very own inaugural Kruger Scholar, classical saxophonist Nick Russoniello tells us all about creating his debut album Between Worlds.

VIVE L’ESPAGNE… MAESTRO PEPE ROMERO PLAYS SYDNEY!
Under the baton of Maestro Tito Muñoz, Romero will perform two of the most esteemed and magical guitar concertos available in the classical guitar repertoire today. The first is the Concierto de Aranjuez composed by Joaquin Rodrigo and the second is the charming work by Antonio Vivaldi, Concerto in D.
“
“ love at first sight..
In our recent interview with Romero, Fine Music 102.5 asked whether he had chosen these for a particular reason. He replied simply… “Of course, and I can say that both of them were ‘love at first sight’. And with both of them I have enjoyed a relationship in which every time I play them, I fall deeper and deeper in love with them.” These concerts are part of a year-long worldwide tour celebrating Romero’s seventieth birthday in March next year, as well as his fifty illustrious years of music making around the globe. Since recording his first album at the age of fifteen, Romero has added more than fifty solo albums to his catalogue, and a further thirty with the famous Los Romeros - a guitar quartet founded and created by his father Celedonio Romero. The original quartet was made up of Celedonio, Pepe, and his two brothers, Celin and Angel. In 1990, Celin’s son Celino replaced Angel and after Celedonio’s death in 1996, Angel’s son Lito joined the group.
of the guitar. His father’s influence was farreaching says Romero - “My father was my ONLY guitar teacher and it was indeed his magical guitar-playing and his profound love for life and his family as expressed with music and poetry that inspired me from the beginning of my own life to become a musician, a guitarist and to be taken over by the mystical power of music and the guitar. “He was a masterful teacher who taught in a mysterious way that made me believe all along that I already was a guitarist. He showed us with his example that the rewards that the guitar offers can only be gained through full commitment and serious hard work. At the same time he showed us that working hard on the guitar is a fantastic pleasure in itself”. That relationship says Romero, remains a huge influence in his music “..my father was the most elegant and charismatic guitarist with magnificent phrasing and conscientious attention to tonal production. I never play without feeling his presence. “One of the principle aspects of my father’s teaching was to light the flame of passion for music and the guitar inside each one of us. He nurtured and praised my own achievements, giving me the power to develop my own creativity and style”. Romero honours his father’s contribution to his musical development in “Songs My Father
Taught Me” - an album of classical guitar music recorded after Celedonio’s death. Mother, Angelita, too was a guiding light in Romero’s life, “My mother had a profound influence as she revered literature and art and she imparted that love by making sure I was well-educated and well-versed in both. I was home-schooled by my mother until I was thirteen years old and when I was seven (we finished when I was twelve), she dictated the entire novel “Don Quixote de la Mancha” by Miguel de Cervantes and I hand wrote the entire book with time spent on philosophical and literary analysis. Along with playing the guitar I have always enjoyed painting and she took me regularly to museums like El Prado to study and enjoy the great works of the masters. I feel that this had a strong influence on me as a musician and artist.” During the years of Los Romeros, his mother rarely missed a performance and was always there to support her husband and sons, globally dubbed “the Royal family of the guitar”.
The Romeros are like a strong “tree with many branches each producing their own fruits.
“
Sydneysiders should prepare to fasten their seat belts and get ready to receive one of the most enjoyable musical rides of the year when Pepe Romero, king of the classical guitar, visits the Sydney Opera House on 1 and 2 August to make his debut with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
Through their shared experiences as Los Romeros the foursome had impact on each other’s individual styles of guitar playing and interpretation says Romero, “There is no doubt that we influenced one another and that we
Pepe Romero has performed for US presidents, Carter and Nixon, the Queen of the Netherlands, Queen Beatrice, King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain, HRH Prince Charles, and Pope John Paul II. He has won numerous international recording awards and is the holder of an Honorary Doctorate in Music from the University of Victoria. In 2000 he was knighted by King Juan Carlos I, gaining induction into the Order of Isabel La Catolica.
“
“ It all began in Málaga…
Born in Málaga Spain in 1944, Pepe was Celedonio’s second son. He appeared in his first concert with his father when he was just seven and grew to love and admire Celedonio’s approach and philosophy towards the music

There is no one genre, no single period and no one concerto that Romero will hold up above others rather, he says, “I give myself fully to whatever piece I am playing and I love all periods of music…I have performed and recorded many concertos and loved every single one.” However, performing new works is an experience that comes with its own unique set of emotions. It is he says a “..feeling of excitement and anticipation and the incredible feeling of doing a world premiere, especially the first time that a great work becomes sound through me and the guitar. I feel incredibly blessed to have had so many opportunities to have had this amazing feeling.”
inner voice guides me “…thethrough the music..
“
But, when asked whether there is one piece of guitar music that he really enjoys playing or listening to that touches his heart that he would like to share with people, he says, “Throughout my long career I have been passionate and completely in love with many pieces. I can say there is one piece that as a child I wanted to play and it inspired me to become a guitarist and that is Recuerdos de la Alhambra. Even after 50 years of playing virtually every corner of the globe, probably every piece of the guitar repertoire and having worked with so many of the world’s leading guitar composers and conductors, there is no lessening of the maestro’s appetite for new experiences, “I

course, I enjoy a great Cuban cigar, a fine glass of red wine and a great espresso”.
Asked whether the two concertos that he will perform with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra - Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez and Antonio Vivaldi Concerto in D - come with individual challenges of note, Romero responds in the negative and, with the wisdom of a true maestro, says he treats them, “the same as with any other composition, which is to not let anything take me away from the connection to the inner voice that guides me through the music”.
And, he could add Australia to that list, “I would like to say that since my first visit to Australia I became enchanted by the natural beauty of your country and the warm and welcoming personality of its people. I always enjoy and have great anticipation when I know I am coming to perform and visit Australia”. - Ron Dolan
One of his keen recollections of performing the Rodrigo piece occurred on an unforgettably auspicious occasion. “I was playing the 50th anniversary performance of Concierto de Aranjuez in the Gardens of the Palace of Aranjuez. Joaquin Rodrigo was sitting with me on the stage. When the concerto was finished the audience gave a tremendous ovation that lasted for more than 20 minutes. I turned to maestro Rodrigo and asked him - “should I repeat the second movement again?” He answered, “No, Pepin, you were perfect, the only thing that can happen now is to mess up it.”

continue to until this day. The Romeros are like a strong tree with many branches each producing their own fruits.”
Even with global demands for his music and his time, the simple pleasures are never forgotten, says Romero, “I love time with my family, with my wife, children, grandchildren, brothers. I love long walks on the beach and I love watching in amazement the beauty of nature. And of

RACHELLE DURKIN AND L’ELISIR D’AMORE Rachelle Durkin first turned heads in the opera world back in 2000 when she scooped three top vocal competitions - the Herald Sun Aria Competition, the Marianne Mathy Scholarship and The Metropolitan Opera Award. She went on to make her Metropolitan Opera debut in 2002 as the First Handmaiden in Sly sharing the stage with Placido Domingo. New Yorkbased for the last 14 years, the lyric coloratura soprano sang in her most recent roles for the Met as Clorinda in La Cenerentola and as Lisa in La Sonnambula. A regular with Opera Australia, she has performed to great acclaim as Violetta in La Traviata and as Norina in Don Pasquale. Allan Scott-Rogers interviewed Rachelle ahead of her trip back home to perform as Adina in Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore (The Elixir of Love) in the Simon Phillips’ production set in an Australian country town circa 1915. The Sun Aria and Met Awards I would say the combination of awards and subsequent winnings in year 2000 certainly served as a building block for my future success in New York. Without the funding, I wouldn’t have been able to fly to New York and remain there whilst I sang for the National Council Auditions. After winning this competition I was originally to return to Australia with my winnings. The stars aligned however, and I was asked at the last minute, to sing for Levine for the Met Lindemann Young Artist Program. I was lucky enough to gain a position and I’ve lived in Manhattan ever since. Year 2000 was a very good one for me. Most challenging role? I would say Violetta on the Sydney Harbour for Opera Australia [La Traviata]. Not only was it my debut in the role, I also had to sing in the cold, wind, and pelting rain on one occasion, not to mention having to manoeuver heavy costumes on a raked stage. We also didn’t have the conductor in front of us. He was underneath the stage and was transmitted to us on a huge video screen. Because the stage had no side to it, the singers found it almost impossible to hear one another and so we had fold back ear microphones as well as a mic for our individual voices. It was a surreal experience, but one I’d do again with no hesitation. It was an amazing show! Dream roles… I have many roles I’d like to tackle some of which include; Marguerite in Faust, Juliette in
Romeo et Juliette, Marie in Fille du Regiment and the list goes on. I would however like to revisit Lucia di Lammermoor. After having spent months learning the role, I only ended up singing it once for the Chautauqua Opera summer festival. They only do one performance a year in front of thousands of people. Though it was an incredible experience, I didn’t really have enough time to cut my teeth in the role. It’s a fabulous part and is up there with Violetta as two of my favourites. The different genres … I like opera and oratorio for entirely different reasons. With oratorio, it’s nice to “park and bark” as some people like to call it. One doesn’t need to worry about stage direction or heavy costumes, and the heat of the lights. On the other hand, my first love is for the stage and I love to act. I also find all the extraneous stuff a challenge. It’s a difficult one. I love to do both. Musical theatre.. Actually, my first audition was for musical theatre. I hadn’t had any classical training in high school and so musical theatre seemed like the next best step for me if I was to make a career from singing. However, on account of my dancing skills, or lack thereof, I was refused entrance.
I really can’t complain though, because as a result, I turned to opera. Thank goodness they took me on voice alone. Lol!! I’m fine with opera companies adding music theatre into their repertoire. If it’s sung technically well and beautifully, then it will be a magical experience for the listener. I would love to sink my teeth into a musical. Hint hint!! Favourite venues… Well, how can I NOT mention the Sydney Opera House. It’s home for me. The most iconic of Australian singers including my fave, Joan Sutherland have all sung there, not to mention all the many famous international artists who have graced the stage. It’s also an iconic structure which is known all around the globe. Acoustically I love singing there. I would also be silly not to mention the Met. I’ve sung in this house many times and I still pinch myself. The stage is cavernous, yet you can hear a pin drop. The audience is also so appreciative and the feeling of a “standing O” from four and a half thousand people? Priceless! The Met…a certain gravitas? Oh yes indeed. I still count my blessings every time I am asked back to perform. I only very August 2014

RACHELLE DURKIN AND L’ELISIR D’AMORE
recently sang Lisa in La Sonnambula and Clorinda in La Cenerentola and the cast in each was thrilling. I watched tenor Javier Camarena and baritone Pietro Spagnogli become uber famous overnight. This is certainly the place where dreams are either shattered or made. You can sense the history when you walk in the building and being up there on that stage is extremely humbling.
Met vs Australian audiences… I would say that both audiences are appreciative and it’s the same ratio of opera fanatics and first time goers, but in my experience opening nights in Australia are a little less boisterous than with American audiences. I have to say though, I’ve been witness to opening nights at the Met where either the production, stage director or singer have been booed, which is not all that nice. Perhaps Australians are a little more forgiving. Stylistic differences… Just as every voice is different, so are the styles of conductors and directors. I’ve done everything from standing on one foot in rehearsal to throwing a ball around to being told to make everything up on the spot and then being shouted at for doing something different. I’ve also spent one hour on two lines of music because a conductor wasn’t happy. Yep, true! Ha ha!! Ask any singer, they’ll tell you that the entire rehearsal period relies on what happens the very first day everyone meets.
You can tell if a conductor will be hard on you or lenient, or whether the style is different or challenging, or whether your personalities get along. There are so many variables, but that’s what makes it exciting.
of the time it’s all explained in the text but those moments which are just silly probably need to be played that way. It is certainly something which evolves once the director and I sit down and talk it out.
On setting operas into more recent time periods… I’m divided. I’ve seen stunning true to the era productions dumped for modern productions that ended up being thrown out the following year because the opera just didn’t translate on stage. Then again, I’ve seen many new productions that truly worked. I think it just depends. It is however nice to see that the Met are honoring Zeffirelli with some of his breathtakingly beautiful productions. How could anyone get rid of the La Boheme production for example?
A typical day with Opera Australia… For Opera Australia we work from 10.30am to 5.30pm. In other companies this time period may differ. I usually start by waking up early to warm up both the body and the voice. Occasionally, so as to not wake up my neighbors, I’ve very often sung directly into my pillow. Ha!
Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love in an Outback setting? It sounds like it’ll be a hoot. I haven’t seen the production and don’t know a thing about it. I am very much looking forward to when the production is revealed in the first week. I do like the fact it will be a clean slate for me in every way. I have never sung the role of Adina before and I am so excited that my first run will be with Opera Australia. Playing it straight? It’s a very fine line between going overboard with the humour and playing it straight. Most
From my apartment I catch a train into Surry Hills and start my day. We usually have an outline as to what we do daily, but there are often changes. If the conductor, for example, really needs to work with us, the schedule may adjust and instead of working on a scene we may just work on music. Most of the rehearsal period though is day to day staging of the opera followed by intense musical rehearsals with orchestra. Home is..…? My home base is in Manhattan New York. The city feels home for me now but only because I’ve lived here for 14 years. I have a strong friendship base there with a couple of Aussies in the mix to keep me grounded. I love to cook because I find it therapeutic and I also love walking around this huge city. After 14 years, I can still find something in New York which surprises me. “It’s a hell of a town”. Maybe there’s something about the anonymity. Here you are everybody and nobody. It’s a city unlike any other in the world. But, ask me this question when I’m flying into Sydney over the bridge and harbour. The answer you get will be very different indeed. How can I not think of Australia as my true home? - Allan Scott-Rogers

Sydney Uni Graduate Choir - War Requiem This month, coinciding with the centenary of the beginning of World War I - August 1914, the Sydney University Graduate Choir premieres An Australian War Requierm. Here choir member, Rosalie O’Neale offers the back story to a most significant work. It has been one hundred years since World War 1 commenced - the “war to end all wars”. It was the conflict when Australia first fought under its own flag, and where it seemed that most of a generation had been slaughtered, with sixty thousand killed and more than a hundred thousand injured. To honour this centenary, the Sydney University Graduate Choir commissioned composer and music director Christopher Bowen OAM to write An Australian War Requiem. Melbourne-born, Vienna-trained Bowen has created a number of successful large-scale choral productions, including the 2011 composition Songs of the Heart, a setting of five poems by Christopher Brennan for large choir and orchestra. This work was dedicated to the Graduate Choir’s Patron, Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO, who later wrote of it: “No words could express the immense sense of awe and gratitude which I felt on hearing your superb composition inspired by the poems of Christopher Brennan, ‘Songs of the Heart’, which you premiered in an unforgettable concert...on 10 December [2011].” The composition of a War Requiem had been on Bowen’s mind for some time. Following
the premiere of Liberdade Requiem, which was dedicated to those who died fighting for the independence of East Timor in 2002, he reflected on the lack of a major musical work dedicated to the memory of those who fought and gave their lives so that we might live in peace. He determined to write a work that would capture the essence of this momentous event, and reflect an Australian perspective on a universal story of sacrifice, loss and grief. And so, Bowen and librettist, Pamela Traynor, began spending a considerable amount of time working with the Australian War Memorial, sorting through the vast archive of letters and other documents, to find the inspiration for this new work. The desire grew to see for himself the locations mentioned, places so important that they were fought over - forwards, backwards and then forwards again - for just over four years. Thus in 2012 Bowen visited Gallipoli and the battlefields of the Western Front, with the aim of absorbing the atmosphere of those places and attempting to comprehend the scale of loss that occurred there. On his return, Bowen wrote: “As one travels through the idyllic countryside of Picardie, better known to us as the Somme, suddenly in the midst of a cornfield there is a cemetery with row upon row of white headstones. There are literally thousands of such places to be found in this area. From a distance a cross can often be discerned on the horizon rising up

to the heavens and it is inconceivable, beyond comprehension that once, such a gentle and beautiful landscape was a quagmire, a sea of mud, trenches, craters, a place where the stench of death was all around. “I cannot forget the cemetery just outside of Villers-Brettoneux. Set on a gentle slope and with a cold wind blowing in the early morning light, I was profoundly moved and inspired by the sounds, the images which invoked a haunting music.” Work on An Australian War Requiem began then in earnest, and in May this year the Sydney University Graduate Choir began rehearsals in anticipation of the work’s premiere this month. Beginning and concluding with the well-known words of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk offering comfort to the mothers of those who had fallen on both sides of the conflict in World War I, An Australian War Requiem relates the story of the war in three tableaux: first “The Horror of War”, second, “Sons and Mothers”, with the third and final tableau exploring “Reflections on Loss”. The text draws from letters between two soldiers and their mothers: Private Vivian Neville Main and his mother May, and Lieutenant Clive Crowley and his mother Alice. These letters provide a deeply personal glimpse of the soldiers’ fears, their longing for home, and their courage and determination to see through the task they had begun. Their words, and those of their mothers, are gentle, affectionate and remarkably honest. The letters are interspersed with excerpts from poems and from the Latin text of the Stabat Mater, with its moving depiction of the grief of Mary at the suffering and death of her son. Scored for large choir (featuring the Sydney University Graduate Choir and guest choir), children’s choir (drawn from several NSW schools), soloists and symphony orchestra, An Australian War Requiem will premiere at the Sydney Town Hall. A wonderful line-up of soloists has been engaged, including Ayse Goknur Shanal (soprano), Celeste Lazarenko (soprano), Andrew Goodwin (tenor), Adrian Tamburini (bass) and Christopher Richardson (bass). An Australian War Requiem creates a high level of emotional involvement from those performing, and its premiere, which will include projections of images selected from the archives of the Australian War Memorial, will undoubtedly have an equally high emotional impact on its audience. - Rosalie O’Neale An Australian War Requiem Sunday 10 August 3pm Sydney Town Hall www. sydneysings.com.au August 2014

“BETWEEN WORLDS” THE JOURNEY SO FAR…
by the Acacia Quartet, Blue Silence. I took her advice and was blown away. I decided that if I was going to play this music, it had to be with the Acacia Quartet!
“
“ Chick Corea changed my life..
I played Chick Corea’s Got A Match? for my HSC and have since felt that Chick Corea changed my life. With Got a Match? I was selected for the 2003 Board of Studies Encore concert at the Opera House. I was eighteen and trying to decide if I should do music after school. After playing for a concert hall full of screaming teenagers at Encore there was no way I would do anything else! The four Chick Corea Children’s Songs that appear on the album are so imaginative and playful. They are an obvious match to the Kats-Chernin works. One day I want to record all twenty of the Children’s Songs, so stay tuned for that.
Saxophonist, Nick Russoniello was last year named the inaugural winner of the Fine Music 102.5 Stefan Kruger Scholarship. Now set to release his much anticipated debut album “Between Worlds”, here he gives us an insight into how the music came together. I’ve always wanted to play the saxophone with a string quartet, but how does one marry the power of the saxophone with the beauty of strings. Would the music still be classical…or even classifiable? Does it even matter? Between Worlds represents my journey to answer these questions. Nearly all the music on the Between Worlds album is something that I have commissioned, arranged or composed myself. It has been a journey that led me to extraordinary musical landscapes; from working with some of the Australia’s finest composers, such as Jeremy Rose and Elena Kats-Chernin, to reliving past favourites such as Chick Corea and Barry Cockcroft, and surprisingly even to composing myself.
“
“ …a virtuosic tour de force
The album takes its name from the composition written for me by Jeremy Rose. I met Jeremy back in 1998 as students at the Pan Pacific Jazz Camps and I’ve always been a fan of his projects; The Vampires, The Strides and Compass. When
I heard that he was studying post-graduate composition I knew I had to get a work from him for my sax and string quartet idea. Between Worlds is a virtuosic tour de force. A high paced fusion of the traditional quartet language, heavily influenced by Maurice Ravel, blended with Jeremy’s recent studies of Baltic folk music. Rhythmic and colourful, this quartet pushes the ensemble to its limits and is a great showcase of the capabilities of the saxophone and string quartet combination. I’ve always been a big fan of Elena Kats-Chernin’s music; it’s so evocative. Many of Elena’s works have been adapted and arranged for numerous instrumental combinations so I decided to track down her number, give her a call and find out if she would have a problem with me arranging her music for saxophone and string quartet. I must admit I was nervous calling; it’s not every day you call the country’s most famous composer and ask to tinker with their work. Thankfully, she was really enthusiastic about the idea. I started the arrangements with a “first do no harm”, attitude. I wanted to keep the personality and flair of her original work but squeeze in a saxophone. I chose Butterflying for its lyrical beauty and Russian Rag as I knew that would lend itself to the sleazy side of the saxophone. When I spoke with Elena she told me I should listen to the new CD of her music
I couldn’t, in good faith, keep complaining about the difficulties of creating repertoire for the saxophone and not then try to compose some new repertoire myself. I really enjoyed writing the small solo pieces on the album, The New South for alto sax and Dawn Searching for soprano sax. The third solo work is by Australian saxophonist Barry Cockcroft, who is such an inspirational figure in the saxophone world. I perform Barry’s music all the time so it’s great to have a work of his on Between Worlds; it’s one that never fails to bring down the house live! Many enlightening hours have been spent bringing Between Worlds from a pipe dream to a tangible (or audible) reality. I’m very proud of this album. Does it answer the questions I asked myself about the saxophone/string quartet combination? That will be for the listener to decide. I do know that it is a great representation and keepsake of my journey so far. - Nick Russoniello

Flashback with Derek Parker “PUERILE, BARBAROUS AND BESTIAL” – AND THE BBC STARTED IT Café de Paris right up until the war. In 1928 the BBC dance band was formed, led by Jack Payne. The BBC itself warned that “some people” had called dance band music “cacophonous, monotonous, cheap.” But nevertheless here came the BBC’s own band with its pianist (doubling celesta), tenor banjo (also adept upon the tenor guitar, Spanish guitar and tenor saxophone), its sousaphonist (also capable of splendid things upon the double bass) and other musicians, all of them liable to give out without warning “sounds of a vigorous and rhythmic nature”.
The first dance band to broadcast in Great Britain was led by Marius B Winter and was heard from the attic studios of 2LO at Marconi House in London on 23 March 1923. It was 2LO and subsequently the BBC which were largely responsible for the dance band craze which gripped England between the two world wars. It was the result of a coincidence: the fact that the studio happened to be in a building next door to the Savoy Hotel - so it was easy to run a line through to the hotel, and for Stuart Hibberd and his fellow-announcers to close down the studio at 10.30pm, change into evening dress, and pop into the hotel in time to announce the numbers to be played by the Savoy Orpheans or the Savoy Havana Band
“
“…your mind’s got to be elevated…
The music wasn’t at first popular with the BBC’s management: the Radio Times pointed out that “some people” had called dance music “cacophonous, monotonous, cheap, puerile, barbarous and bestial”; the use of the phrase “hot music”’ was forbidden and scat singing was banned (the Melody Maker published a cartoon showing Auntie BBC spanking a boy labelled “Listening Public” with the words “There, brat! Whether you like it or not, your mind’s got to be elevated!”) The Havanas were the first band to broadcast from the Savoy, led by Bert Ralton, an American saxophonist. The Orpheans was formed by Debroy Summers, four years later succeeded by Carroll Gibbons. They took part in some rather strange concerts, including a “Symphonic Syncopation” concert at the Queen’s Hall in which the band joined forces with the visiting Boston Symphony Orchestra: the program included Wagneria and Chaliapinata as well as Beale Street Blues.
Another Savoy band which made many radio “appearances” was Fred Elizalde’s. “Lizz” brought his group to the hotel in 1927, and there were many complaints from dancers - it was extremely difficult to dance to some of his music, for he declined to play simple waltzes and foxtrots, and listeners wrote to complain to the BBC that his music “had no tunes” (he declared that to him “melody is an entirely secondary consideration as far as dance music is concerned.”). In the ‘20s and ‘30s most top hotels and many restaurants had their own dance bands. The first outside broadcast of a dance band from another hotel was by Ben Davis’ Carlton House Dance Band (in May 1923). A year later Henry Hall made his first broadcast with the Gleneagles Hotel Orchestra, then in February 1926 came the first BBC house band - the London Radio Dance Band under Sidney Firman, which played regularly at the Cavour Restaurant. Later came Lew Stone, who formed a band in 1932 to play at the Monseigneur Restaurant, and soon began broadcasting regularly. Roy Fox first appeared at the Café de Paris then at the Monsigneur and was heard regularly on the air until he came to Australia in 1938, where he led the Jay Whidden orchestra. The third of the great bandleaders of the 1930s was Ambrose - Bert Ambrose, a Londoner who had studied in New York and returned to London to play at the Embassy Club in Bond Street. In 1927 he was appointed Musical Director at the Mayfair Hotel at the then staggering salary of £10,000 a year. He first broadcast from the Mayfair on 20 March 1928, and fortnightly from then on. His band went on playing - from the Mayfair, then the Embassy, then the Mayfair again and finally from the

Jack Payne’s BBC band became so popular that any attempt to keep up with their fan mail was useless, and printed cards of acknowledgement were used. As famous as Payne, or perhaps even more so, was his successor as leader of the band, Henry Hall. He was a Clapham boy who had studied music at the Guildhall School, at Trinity College and to some extent as a member of a Salvation Army Band – he worked as a cinema pianist during the first world war. His first broadcast with the BBC band took place in March 1932, and in no time at all his was as big a household name as Jack Payne. From 1934 until he left the BBC in 1937 and periodically after that he broadcast a weekly Guest Night, and his rather halting personal announcement - “This is Henry Hall, and tonight is my Guest Night” - became a national catch-phrase in the very early years of radio catch-phrases.
He was something of an innovator: his band - which incidentally broadcast the first piece of music ever to sound out from the new Broadcasting House in Portland Place (it was “Here’s to the next time”) - had fourteen musicians, including for the first time perhaps in any dance band an oboist. He had chosen his men from over seven hundred applicants for auditions. He became one of the best known and best loved radio personalities of his generation. Joe Loss was almost as popular - he started out at the Kit-Kat Club, and in the ‘30s played for almost every royal social occasion. “Bandleaders saw everything”, he told me once - but wouldn’t be drawn about Princess Margaret and the extremely handsome pianist/ singer “Hutch”. I tried desperately to record an interview: but he was as secret as a physician or a psychiatrist. You can’t win them all. - Derek Parker August 2014

FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS MIRRIE HILL
Miriam Irma Hill (nee Solomon) was born in “Lakomai” at Dutruc Street in Randwick, Sydney on 1st December, 1889. Her father died at that residence on 25th August, 1893 and soon after Mirrie was sent to live with her aunt who had studied singing and piano in Germany. Mirrie was born with perfect pitch and in 1903 commenced piano lessons with one of Sydney’s foremost music teachers, Josef Kretschman. Harmony and composition lessons with the Sydney City organist, Ernest Truman, followed and Mirrie premiered her Fantaisie for Piano at the Manchester Unity Hall in Sydney on 22nd December, 1908. By 1911 she was taking composition lessons from composer Alfred Hill to whom she dedicated her 4 Songs (her first essay in this genre). In the same year Mirrie performed many of her works, mainly piano pieces, during at least seven concerts throughout Sydney and formed the Salon Trio with violinist Dorothy Curtis and cellist Florence Brown. Their repertoire included the piano trios of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms.
was twice recalled “ Mirrie after her Piano Concerto
“
was premiered …
In the following year, Mirrie’s steady output of songs received performances by numerous musicians in Sydney and she accompanied Alfred Hill in his Violin Sonata no.4 at the YMCA Hall on 26th November.
Mirrie was twice recalled after her Piano Concerto was premiered at the Sydney Town Hall by Laurence Godfrey Smith and the Sydney Amateur Orchestral Society conducted by Alfred Hill on 13th May, 1914. She was looking forward to boarding the Orsova on 1st August to travel to Vienna to study music but the outbreak of the Great War precluded that and she spent time visiting Melbourne instead. A scholarship to study composition, chamber music and the interpretation of piano repertoire was granted to Mirrie in 1915 by the NSW State Conservatorium where many of her compositions were performed in the following year and her Piano Trio in b minor premiered by Cyril Monk, Carl Gotsch and Frank Hutchens on 11th September before being repeated 30 days later. Mirrie premiered her Piano Quartet in D major with David Nichols, James Messcas and Henri Verbrugghen at the King’s Hall in Sydney on 27th June, 1919 and the latter conducted another performance of Mirrie’s Piano Concerto on 20th December. After completing her studies Mirrie was appointed assistant professor of harmony, counterpoint and composition at the NSW State Conservatorium in 1921, the year in which she (aged 30) and recent divorcee Alfred Hill (aged 51) were married at the Mosman Registry Office on 1st October. That evening, during an orchestral concert at the Conservatorium, the newlyweds had Henri Verbrugghen present them with six etchings by Australian artists.
They purchased a block of land in Mosman and engaged an architect and builders to construct their home. Close neighbours would include Cyril and Varney Monk, and Horace Keats and his wife, Janet le Brun. In February, 1926 Mirrie accompanied her husband to the USA (where Alfred signed publishing contracts and conducted) before they sailed to England where they recorded Alfred singing his Waiata Poi to Mirrie’s piano accompaniment. Five years later they arrived in Brisbane by mail train to perform concerts at the Albert Hall on 14th and 15th July. Mirrie was the piano accompanist to a number of her songs and to the Cello Sonata and Violin Sonata no.1 of her husband. Back home, the Sydney String Quartet had been formed by young graduates from the Conservatorium and Alfred would mentor them at his and Mirrie’s home after lunch on Sunday afternoons. Her task was more prosaic: she had to determine how many meat pies would suffice to fill their hungry stomachs. Most of Mirrie’s output continued to be piano miniatures, songs and the occasional chamber music piece but her orchestral work The End of the Little Dream was performed twice conducted by her husband in 1930 and her Cinderella Suite for string orchestra played in 1934 during a year in which she was granted a year’s absence from the Conservatorium when she corrected proofs of some of her scores that were published by Allan’s Music, and suffered the loss of her brother.
90, Mirrie composed “Aged what she considered to be
“
her finest work…
Mirrie took a serious interest in Australian aboriginal music. In 1948 she wrote the film score to “Aborigines of the Sea Coast” and in 1950 composed 3 Aboriginal Dances for piano which were choreographed by Beth Dean who danced them at the Mercury Theatre in Sydney on 29th October, 1952. Mirrie’s most substantial work in this vein was the Arnhem Land Symphony of 1954. It was premiered by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in the following year and recorded by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Henry Krips on 17th May, 1968.

BANGALOW MUSIC FESTIVAL - 2014 The “Best Little Festival in Australia”, the Bangalow Music Festival is on again this month in the beautiful town of Bangalow, Northern NSW. Artistic Director, Tania Frazer says that this year’s fiesta rejoices in the dynamics of twosomes. “Chemistry, synchronicity, contrast and balance, this year’s festival celebrates the genius of partnerships and the intimate art of couples - the internal essence of chamber music. We are particularly focused on the power of two. If you spend your life with another musician who experiences music maybe a little differently, you can help each other….couples can achieve more.” Among the artists featured is international violin virtuoso and Oscar and Golden Globe nominee, Jack Liebeck, who makes a welcome return to the lush rolling countryside with his partner, acclaimed UK violin sensation Victoria Sayles. Another couple - Sivan Silver and Gil Garburg of the celebrated Israeli-German, Silver-Garburg Piano Duo will grace the stage performing the Brahms Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor Op. 25 in the original four-hand arrangement by the composer. Frazer said that in addition to couples, the festival would explore other relationships between two entities. “Southern Cross Soloists duel to the death with Trichotomy

in the world premiere of the Odd Couple; the titan compositions of Brahms’ Violin Concerto and Mahler’s Adagietto; Bernstein’s Halil for two flute soloists; the two great Russians Mussorgsky and Rimsky Korsakov; and Jewish greats Schoenberg and Mendelssohn’s works for symmetrical ensembles on either side of Arvo Part’s Mirror in the mirror.” The Bangalow festival presents an astounding nine main concerts over the weekend including
ex-Australian String Quartet member Sophie Rowell performing on her GB Guadagnini violin made in 1751 in Milan; also on violin, the inimitable Adam Chalabi, performing with the new supergroup of Australian chamber ensembles, The White Halo Quartet. The instrument of “the voice” will also feature in the line-up with the supreme genius that is Lisa Gasteen performing Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder / Hans Werner Henze wwv 91. And in a festival first, the inaugural Bangalow Music Festival Fellowship Quartet will feature as the 2014 Quartet in Residence. The Armilla Quartet was selected from a national search for Australia’s most talented and up-andcoming ensembles. The Fellowship Quartet will perform alongside the festival artists in small ensemble, soloist, and orchestral formations.

Haydn’s op 77 no 1 is the grand, crowning achievement of a life inventing, exploring and perfecting the genre. Written ten years later, in Beethoven’s middle period, the op 95 Serioso Quartet is all fire and crystal whilst remaining compositionally one of the strictest and most tightly structured works he ever wrote. In Bartók’s Quartet no 5 we hear the master of the 20th century quartet adding another dimension of emotional depth to his already highly sharpened, perfectly constructed middle period works. Ever since its first performance in 1935, it has been hailed as one of the ultimate challenges for string quartets.

Gently does it, marks Simon Tedeschi’s entry into his self-selected assortment of much of what he counts as the best music composed in Australia recently. The gentle start comes with the first of four items by Marc Isaacs, out of this 11-track set, for which Tedeschi gives the nod to jazz as his primary influence. Hardly jazz in hot club guise, mind, the music here is more to do with late evening ambience, with the lights dimmed and thoughts of something romantic going on in discreet alcoves. Our host lets this atmosphere settle before having to apply himself to doing anything aggressively virtuosic to the keyboard, and while eager to show how well he can do that, he always
returns quickly to being the sensitive and artistic soul he clearly is. He encourages a sympathetic response from his instrument by means of being nice to it, not attacking it the way others might prefer. Whichever item you may choose to embark on your journey to Tedeschi’s Tender Earth, the first track or any other, the sound and mood is similar. You will appreciate the artist’s reference to the spirit of great love he felt while engaged in what he calls this “rousing adventure”, exploring so much that is fine in modern Australian music. You may also wish it came with more of the contrasts only hinted at in this recording. - Phil Vendy
are very much a motley lot - some composers stretch as far back as William Byrd (extracts from the Mass for 5 Voices) and as recent as John Tavener (Song for Athene). The latter is always welcome when sung well, which it is here, as are the contributions from Britten (A Hymn to the Virgin) and in particular Hubert Parry (I Was Glad). In fact, the latter almost steals the show - it has panache, is boisterous and it is sung with the bravado and confidence of a well-tuned ensemble. But it is Allegri’s Miserere Mei that clinches it for me. I never cease to wonder at the complexity of the piece, its varied textures and the way the harmonies intertwine. And then there’s the soaring treble solo that always engenders a skin-full of goose-bumps. Marvellous! - Randolph Magri-Overend At first glance the recently-released CD “I Monti” or The Mountains by the group Chaika is a foreign import from Eastern Europe with exotically named tracks such as Vreme Senviˇc, Maika I Sin and Opa Tsupa. Nothing could be further from the truth. The group Chaika – it means Seagull in Bulgarian – is made up of six young Australians, four girls, two boys, who between them play accordion, violin, guitar, clarinet, double bass and percussion. And they all sing - beautifully and in a variety of languages ranging from Bulgarian through Russian to Hebrew. The result is a unique collection of songs based on the work of established poets but with the music written by one or other member of the group. To say that these guys are talented would be an understatement.
There are 11 tracks on the CD, my favourite being No 2, a Russian poem which translates as In My garden at Night. Pianist Emily-Rose Sarkova has written the music to accompany the Russian lyric poet Alexander Blok’s words – “In the night in my garden, a weeping willow weeps.” The track begins with a throbbing double bass followed by a wailing clarinet and then vocalist Susie Bishop sings. It’s a haunting melody, but just as the pathos reaches its height, the work bursts into life, before sinking back into melancholy again as a tender girl named Dawn wipes away the tears of the weeping willow. The whole effect is mesmerising, as is much of the rest of this extraordinary CD. - Michael Morton-Evans

30 Years of Breath Taking Song, to be more precise. Sacred songs on one CD, with a booklet; a similar arrangement for secular songs. The words of all 29 songs are included in this two-hour-plus package of The Song Company’s extraordinary repertoire, so you might like to have the small print pages open. The material dates back the best part of a thousand years, sounding as fresh and vibrant as if the composer was sitting right alongside, scratching them onto his parchment. Then you suddenly realise the composer is Cole Porter, parchment is long gone, and the voices have just skipped a thousand years. It makes the timescale of these works relative, in such a way that the normal separation of music into recognisable periods does think of any that fit that bill. But then Alagna is more a dramatic tenor suited to Italianite operas whereas Grigolo is that rarity - an Italian who can sing in the French style, the style of Rossini and Mozart. But Grigolo is more than a good interpreter; he has a fresh, young voice that hasn’t aged as yet. He is only 37 and already the veteran of seven albums that includes an English version of Bernstein’s West Side Story with Kiwi soprano, Hayley Westenra. But The Romantic Hero is by far his best. It has charm, it has faithful Gallicism, wonderful singing and includes one of the all-time great tunes, Des Grieux’s Act III aria Ah! Fuyez douce image from Manon. There are others, of course, that are equally as impressive. I am now looking forward to his version of another Massenet opera, Werther which he is actually recording
The Australian composer and pianist Malcolm Williamson (1931-2003) made his career in London and was appointed Master of the Queen’s Music in 1975, the youngest person and the only Australian to be so appointed. These concertos, many of which he played himself, with their virtuoso piano parts, are in style somewhere between the concertos of Prokofiev and those of Rachmaninov more “modern” than Rachmaninov and less astringent than Prokofiev. I could detect no British influence in the music, despite Williamson’s long residence in London. He himself claimed that “most of my music is Australian in origin”, but it is doubtful if any listener would guess that these works were composed by an Australian. The often rather bland nature of the music is sometimes
not apply. The work of composers we know today is mixed up with what their counterparts from ancient times did, and The Song Company sails right on through, as if nothing was ever so easy as singing anything that comes by in perfect harmony, no matter how long ago it was written, with exactly the right pitch to blend their individual voices, and popping in the occasional odd secular noise for that unique Song Company effect. It must take hours and hours of practice. A cappella groups everywhere will either seek inspiration to try harder, or remember to shut the door on the way out. Perfection, of its type. Photographs even. - Phil Vendy

enhanced by a pleasant and emotionally satisfying atmosphere of fantasy, especially in the works for piano and string orchestra. The Concerto No. 4 which was written in 1994 seemed to me the least interesting of the works and tends to confirm Norman Lebrecht’s opinion that Williamson ran out of inspiration in his later years. The recording and performances of all works are excellent and these discs can be recommended to those interested in assessing Williamson’s worth as a composer. - Richard Gate

JAZZ CD REVIEWS Discourse with Kevin Jones
CHRIS FLORY QUINTET FEATURING SCOTT HAMILTON Arbors ARCD 19440
✶✶✶✶
What made the performances of Chris Flory and Scott Hamilton so unusual when they first started playing together in the tenor saxophonist’s quartet in the early 1970s in Providence, Rhode Island, was the style of jazz played. It was mainstream swing! And these musicians were in their early twenties in an era where the genre was dominated by funk, fusion and free. But the rise of Hamilton and cornetist Warren Vache inspired a generation of young musicians who found their musical roots in the sounds of swing. Flory, who was inspired by the great Charlie Christian, has played with such

greats as Roy Eldridge and Ruby Braff and was With You and is showcased with his quartet on first call guitarist for Benny Goodman in his Isn’t It A Lovely Day, melodic and, may I say it final years. However, he had a long association again, lightly swinging. with Hamilton as a member of his quintet from 1978-93 when the tenor saxophonist moved to England. This 2011 reunion with Hamilton, now based in Italy, is a reminder of what first attracted me to jazz as a teenager. The music not only swings but the joy of melody is not ignored. It’s been said that when Hamilton plays a ballad he is having a conversation with the melody; but really his method is simple: he lets the melodies speak for themselves, epitomised by his warm and tasteful treatment of Mel Torme’s Born To Be Blue. Flory shows his class on the infectiously swinging The Lady’s In Love
Before listening to this welcome reissue I reread From Russia Without Love about Benny Goodman’s 1962 tour of the Soviet Union for the State Department which was written in 1985 by Bill Crow and published in the late Gene Lees Jazzletter. Crow, the bass player on the tour, claimed Goodman insulted, offended or bewildered nearly every musician “resulting in the demoralisation of an excellent band”. It was this side of his personality which was hidden from his many fans. Goodman, probably the world’s best known jazz musician, had a book of modern arrangements written for the tour but soon reverted to the music he was most comfortable with such as Mission to Moscow, Stealin’ Apples, One O’Clock Jump, heard here, or Bugle Call
Rag and Down South Camp Meeting. This could have been a great band - the saxophone section included Phil Woods (alto) and Zoot Sims (tenor) who were in a class of their own - but according to drummer Mel Lewis the band never reached its full potential because Goodman wouldn’t let it. Although the band did not reach the heights it was capable of, some very good music was taped. Ironically, Titter Pipes, a new piece written by Tommy Newsome, is the best track featuring brilliant solos by Sims and Woods. Sims is the most satisfying soloist but Woods would later lose his solos when Goodman heard his vocal criticisms of him. If only…this should have been a memorable musical record of the tour. Sadly it isn’t!

A SWINGIN’ AFFAIR Frank Sinatra Capitol 72434 96088 2 5
✶✶✶✶✶ This album, with In The Wee Small Hours and Only The Lonely, represents the apex of Frank Sinatra’s recording career, built on the foundation of the more than 300 sides he cut for the Capitol label from 1953-62, the finest catalogue of vocal artistry in the history of American popular music. Nothing has matched or equalled the emotional intensity Sinatra shows on In The Wee Small Hours and Only The Lonely, the two greatest vocal albums of all time.

harp and rhythm section, marked a return to the bright and insinuating message of Songs For Young Lovers and Swing Easy, first released on 10-inch LPs but now available again on the one CD. It was recorded in four sessions over two weeks in November, 1956 with Sinatra in peak form. His voice had deepened into a mature baritone, a far cry from his Italian style tenor of the 1940s. His mastery of phrasing and diction with Capitol Records has never been equalled; he had no peer when it came to interpreting a lyric, especially emotionally. And his command of rhythm was flawless, resulting in an effortless swing which has never been matched by any vocalist. Add Riddle’s consistently imaginative orchestral arrangements, and you have greatness, the likes of which we may never hear
again. Most of the songs are old favourites. The bonus: The Lady Is A Tramp which was cut from the original LP for the sound track album of the film Pal Joey.
SWINGING ON THE VINE FEVER
she mined a wealth of vocal magic with variety, colour and eloquent lyricism. Throughout her long career she was a perfectionist; on stage she choreographed her body language like an actor or dancer. When singing a song Lee said she liked conversing with the audience quietly!
This is such a painful experience, sitting in the living room of my Hunter Valley homestead with a glass of mineral water in my hand gazing with contempt at the insufferable Clifford as he sits on the floor by his beloved’s chair gazing with the adoration of a love-struck teenager at his one true love and wife, Cherry Poobsey-Pie Flowering Blossom, lead singer of the Tattooed Beach Sluts. A family has been put on hold he tells us while he plans Cherry’s domination of the world’s pop scene.
She credits the 20 months she spent with the orchestra of that arch perfectionist Benny Goodman (1941-43) as having a great influence on her phrasing and technique. She was discovered by Goodman’s wife Alice, and replaced Helen Forrest who cracked under the strain of Goodman’s almost impossible demands. Lee thrived.
It may even mean breaking up the present group and forming another called The Gorgons. I shudder as I gaze at Cherry’s tussled, unkempt blonde locks streaked with a myriad of colours. She would give Medusa a run for her money I whisper to The Voice and receive a painful sharp elbow in the ribs. (For the uneducated and ignorant: In Greek mythology the three Gorgons were horrifying creatures. They were immortal with the exception of Medusa, a once beautiful maiden who was transformed into a hideous female monster by the enraged goddess after Poseidon raped her in Athena’s temple. Her hair was transformed into a nest of living venomous serpents; her face so terrible to behold an onlooker was turned into stone after looking at her. She was slain by the Greek hero Perseus.) An excited Clifford tells us he is in the process of arranging and producing Cherry’s next record, the cover of a song which was one of the biggest hits of the 1950s. She interrupts Clifford with her usual intellectually disabled grammar - “It’s going to be a totally awesome version of Fever sung by some old dame a long time ago. Dude, it’s going to be totally hot dude”.. I shudder, “Some old dame!” - I almost choke on my lemon flavoured mineral water at the same time feeling the steely stare of The Voice who whispers: “Get with it.” One can only take so much especially when the intelligent quotient is below zero. Excusing myself - am I not a Neanderthal with class - I head for the sanctuary of my Hunter Valley hideaway where my companion Big J waits to help me consume the bountiful benefits of the red grape. Peggy Lee an “old dame”! A singer described by Tony Bennett as the female Frank Sinatra! Such ignorance should be punished with disembowelment and decapitation as practised
Peggy Lee
by my Viking ancestors. Instead I reach for a bottle of prize winning shiraz, fill Big J’s bowl as he gazes fondly at me with piggy eyes, and take a long sip as I listen to Fever, which would become virtually Lee’s signature tune. In the midst of the chaos of rock in 1957-58 here was something so out of the ordinary, an oasis of class among the amateurish dross of the Top Twenty, remarkable that it became such a big hit. Backed by only Max Bennett’s bass and Jack Sperling’s drums plus her own finger-snapping - and she wrote her own lyrics - here was the ultimate song of seduction. It still sends shivers up and down my spine as I recall my misspent youth and the effect this song had on me. Ah Peggy Lee. Here was a great American singer who bestrode both the jazz and popular music fields with wit, sensuality and an extraordinary, impressive minimalism. The late jazz critic for The New Yorker magazine, Whitney Balliett, summed her up to perfection, describing her as a “stripped down singer; her vibrato spare, her volume low. She is not a melody singer. She does not carry a tune, she elegantly follows it.” Despite having such a narrow range and volume,
If I could only have one Peggy Lee album it would be her classic The Man I Love recorded on Capitol records in 1957 when she returned to the label, her original home as a solo artist since 1944, after five years with Decca. There are few albums which exude such prestige and sophistication. It was not only produced by Sinatra but he conducted a 31-piece orchestra made up of the cream of West Coast musicians. Lee and Sinatra hand-picked the songs together from the Olympian heights of the Great American Songbook by some of its finest exponents - George and Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers with Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II, Arthur Schwarz and Harold Arlen, the arrangements all beautifully crafted by Nelson Riddle. With his own hands, Sinatra put menthol into her eyes to make them look misty for the photograph on the album cover. They were lifelong friends and at one stage more than that. When Sinatra died on May 14, 1988 Lee issued a five-word statement: “I’m glad there is you.” Hearing The Man I Love, My Heart Stood Still and The Folks Who Live On The Hill still remains an unforgettable emotional listening experience for me after all these years. She would do a follow-up album (Jump For Joy) the following year with Riddle. They were the only two albums she did with him. But I will leave the last word to Sinatra: “Her talent should be studied by all vocalists. Her regal presence is pure elegance and charm.” - Patrick D Maguire August 2014

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND ALL THAT JAZZ Following birth, creative concepts are swaddled in expectations, particularly the offspring of an unlikely pairing. Such a child reaches out to your heart via your ears on 6 August at 7pm in a special edition of “Jazz Stars and Stripes”’. You will hear the result of the combined DNAs of a classical presenter and scholar, Peter Kurti – chairman of Fine Music, and a jazz presenter, writer, director – Peter Mitchell. For a jazz program, special edition though it may be, it has a chequered provenance. “Jazz Stars and Stripes” has never been contoured by commercial considerations, whether termed “audience profiling”, demographics, psychographics or trusty old warhorses like socio economic groupings. Rather, it has been dependent on the sheer emotive magnetism of its jazz content performed by the American stars from bebop on. Its musical appeal is at once transparent and mysterious, like love and the cosmos. Does the appeal even have to be deconstructed? Emerging from our 20

Donald Byrd, Bill Evans, Ben Webster, and Phineas Newborn jnr. Their appeal, without question, is to the jazz cognoscente, but the enquiry had come from a classicist and Chairman of the Board of Fine Music -a station steeped in its own classical history of nearly 40 years. So the causal chain gained additional links. Peters - Mitchell and Kurti
audioscape are welcome sound intrusions like children’s laughter and music; from the blues to philharmonic orchestras. It is this welcome, this greeting to music that is at the heart of Fine Music 102.5, and with that same warm welcome, classical presenter Peter Kurti is stepping into Studio A to broadcast some superb jazz that has permeated his predominately classical life. It was the cat-killer, curiosity, that motivated enquiry into Kurti’s attraction to what appeared at first blush, an unlikely group of American musicians including
Conversation, then discussion coalesced into this special edition of Jazz Stars and Stripes. The program guidelines were there to support, or springboard into, improvisation. The program would be loose, unscripted, spontaneous: evocative of the jazz being presented. “Black tie” was to symbolise the significance of classical and jazz co-operation and mutual respect. It was also an excuse to promote a black tie edition of Jazz Stars and Stripes and take the opportunity to use the line “ Chairman of the Board” and all that jazz. You are invited, 6 August 7pm. Black tie if you wish. - Peter Mitchell
August Program Highlights 9 August 9.30am-11.30am The Leader of a Mighty Handful Mily Balakirev
“May God grant that [the audience retains] forever a memory of how much poetry, feeling, talent and ability is possessed by the small but already mighty handful of Russian musicians”. So exclaimed Vladimir Stasov in his review of an 1867 concert celebrating pan-Russian culture, which featured music by a collective of brooding, renegade composers. This group of five was led by the charismatic and forceful figure of Mily Balakirev and included César Cui, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Borodin. Balakirev’s devotion to Glinka, widely considered the progenitor of a Russian national style, steered his circle of disciples toward nationalistic themes and non-conformist (anticonservatoire) methodologies. His early work, the Overture on the theme of a Spanish march, may seem a contradiction to these aims, but here Balakirev is expatiating upon folk themes bequeathed to him by Glinka himself; it is the work of an acolyte paying homage to his master. His Piano concerto no.2 was written up to the first movement in 1862 only to be abandoned for over 40 years. His attempt to complete it was in a piecemeal fashion, however, and he died before finishing. What is clear in this work, finalised posthumously by Lyapunov, is frequent references to Russian Orthodox church hymns, which belie the composer’s increasing religious zeal in the face of declining mental health and the loosening of his once-tight “handful.” The symphonic poem Tamara was similarly completed in stops and starts over 15 years, and reveals Balakirev’s reverence for the form and fashion of Liszt, but is also founded in Glinka-esque Russian folklore. The Symphony No.1, also completed in desultory bursts over many years, is Germanic in form but distinctly Russian in voice. 23 August 2pm-3.30pm Great String Players David Oistrakh Arguably the preeminent violinist of the Soviet era, the Odessa-born David Oistrakh
was a towering twentieth-century figure in violin performance and pedagogy. Famously spanning almost the entire repertoire for his instrument up to and including works by Bartók, Oistrakh also personally befriended many prominent Russian composers. At the age of 19, for example, the young prodigy premiered Glazinov’s Violin Concerto in Kiev under the composer’s own direction. He would go on to work closely with Khatchaturian and Shostakovich in the writing of their respective concertos, and premiere two sonatas by Sergei Prokofiev. The indefatigable performer toured extensively throughout the Soviet Union and after political tensions relaxed in the 1950s made his mark internationally, particularly in the USA. In 1940, Oistrakh formed a trio with cellist Sviatoslav Knushevitsky and pianist Lev Oborin, and for the next twenty years the ensemble, often referred to as The Oistrakh Trio, would perform and record extensively. The virtuoso would also perform as a successful sonata duo with Oborin. In addition to performing, Oistrakh made his mark on the world as a conductor, touring internationally in this capacity and winning the prestigious Lenin prize in 1960. It was after a series as guest conductor with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, completing a cycle of his beloved Brahms, that Oistrakh would suffer a sudden heart attack at the age of 66. Known for his balanced technique and tone; never straying too far into heavy vibrato or excessive rubato, Oistrakh’s interpretations remain highly influential and eminently listenable.
for a classical musician, but upon returning to New York City where he had studied at Julliard, Cliburn was welcomed home with a lavish ticker-tape parade. When the conductor Kiril Kondrashin visited the US to give repeat performances of their triumphant Moscow program, the pair made a now platinum recording of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1; the first ever classical recording to achieve such a feat. Russo-American relations would continue to play a prominent role throughout Cliburn’s career, touring the Soviet Union extensively between 1960 and 1972, performing at the White House during a State visit by Mikhail Gorbachev, and in 1989 making special appearances at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and in the Philharmonic Hall of Leningrad. In 1962 he was to have a piano competition of his own, established by friends and supporters and fittingly called the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. As a pianist, Cliburn is remembered for his grand, yet “unpercussive”, tone, and a seemingly effortless command of the instrument. - Robert Clark NOT TO BE MISSED Saturday 16 August 8pm-9.30pm Live and Local – Last Night at the Proms Willoughby Symphony Orchestra & Choir

15:00 THE SYMPHONIES OF HAYDN Prepared by Chris Blower
Claudia is one of the Vestal Virgins in Rome, who are charged with keeping alive the sacred flame which the Romans saw as an omen of their society’s wellbeing. The Consul Valerio accuses her of causing the fire to extinguish, by having dishonoured her vows through a relationship with the knight Flavio. In turn Flaminia, Claudia’s sister, accuses Valerio of blaming Claudia for Rome’s misfortune. Her protestations are dismissed and Claudia must appear before the Senate to defend her reputation. Awaiting the Senate’s verdict, Claudia rejects Flavio’s offer to start a rebellion if the Senate finds against her. Valerio announces that the Senate has condemned her to death. Word arrives that a ship carrying a statue of a goddess has run aground in the Tiber. Claudia offers to pull it to shore single handedly, where the Roman polulace has failed, to demonstrate that she continues to enjoy the god’s favour. She succeeds, winning a pardon from Valerio and the acclamation of the Romans.

LISA: Galina Gorchakova, sop HERMAN: Plácido Domingo, ten COUNTESS: Elisabeth Sõderstrom, sop PRINCE YELETSKY: Dmitri Hvorostovsky, bar Metropolitan Opera O/Valery Gergiev. Met tape 2:49 An officer Herman, fascinated by gambling, although he does not play, is in love with a noble girl Lisa. He finds she is betrothed to Prince Yeletstsky and that her grandmother, the Countess, was a famous beauty, with a winning formula for cards. Lisa is bemoaning her engagement when Herman declares his love. Lisa gives him her key, but he comes to the Countess’s room to find her secret formula. When he threatens her, she dies in terror. The Countess’s ghost appears to Herman and gives him the formula. Lisa realises his obsession with gambling is destructive and kills herself. Hermann challenges Yeletsky to play cards and uses the formula, but when his third card is the Queen of Spades, not the ace, he commits suicide.

Brilliant Classics 9084/1 2:02 There is a splendid dinner at the home of the richest man in Vienna. Two groups of artists arrive to entertain. One is a troupe of commedia dell’arte clowns, led by Zerbinetta. The other is an opera company, performing a new classical opera about Ariadne’s abandonment on Naxos. The troupes argue about how they can cut their scenes. The classical composer refuses to cut, but is charmed by Zerbinetta. His leading singers, the prima donna Ariadne and the tenor playing her rescuer Bacchus, squabble for supremacy, but eventually perform. Prelude, from Capriccio (1942).
