EDITOR’S DESK

Fine Music’s acknowledgement of the work of the late, great, Peter Sculthorpe continues throughout October with the re-broadcasting of four programs produced by Gwynn Roberts to celebrate his 80th birthday in 2009. Of particular note is the fact that Sculthorpe took part in the original production which included his own commentary and insights on each work played. Cynthia Kaye gives details on the series on page 21. Another audio treat to watch out for is Tamara-Anna Cislowska’s “Complete Solo Piano Music of Peter Sculthorpe”. This ABC Classics CD, released prior to Sculthorpe’s death, was a major and emotional project for Cislowska who had been close friends of the composer since performing his piano concerto with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra at the age of 14. She was in fact chosen by Sculthorpe himself for this recording. Cislowska gives us her fascinating behind the scenes look at the creative thinking behind the making of the CD in her article on page 7. The Fine Music Kruger Scholarship winner for 2014 is recorder player, Alicia Crossley. On page 9, she talks about her career to date and outlines the challenges and rewards of performing with her choice of instrument. Penny Shehadeh catches up,with Alex Ranieri a gifted emerging pianist who she finds is far from the stereotype of a struggling young artist. Still on youth, we welcome a former Fine Music Young Performer contestant - Vatche Jambazian as a contributor to the magazine and as Young Virtuosi Alumni coordinator.

Celebrate the life and music of Peter Sculthorpe with the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and its students, on Saturday 25 October 7pm in Verbrugghen Hall, Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

UP AGAINST BEETHOVEN

TOGNETTI & THE AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

Richard Tognetti. Photo - Jack Saltmiras

Nothing seems to be too daunting for the ground-breaking Artistic Director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Richard Tognetti AM, but he and his band of musicians have taken on three great works of Beethoven, and added a new work by one of the world’s leading rock musicians, Jonny Greenwood. They are really up against Beethoven in this concert tour.

“

takes on everything as “if..hethere were no tomorrow..

Dubbed Tognetti’s Beethoven, the OctoberNovember tour by the ACO will put everyone on the edge of their seats as the orchestra plays three monumental works, the Coriolan Overture, the Symphony No 1 and the Triple Concerto. “The Coriolan Overture is one of the great dramatic pieces,” says Tognetti. “It’s about a general who goes off to war and ends up tragically dying. The momentum that Beethoven can build up, and the impending doom makes this incredibly dramatic and heartbreaking stuff”. 4

fineMusic 102.5

October 2014

Hearing Tognetti describe the music he is to perform, one can feel the strong connection and passion that comes from the soul of this great musician. Every word, like every note he plays, is filled with spirit. He takes on everything as if there were no tomorrow.

as though it flowed out of him, but it’s got this colossal nature to it. And one wouldn’t have been surprised if Beethoven had written the “Eroica” as his first symphony, but (in having written this symphony as his first) it is almost as though he was testing the waters.”

Composed for a drama by Heinrich Collin, the Coriolan Overture was written in 1807 and deals with the political and human issues which captivated the imagination of Beethoven during this period of his life. He seized upon the essential principles of conflict in this powerful and musically self-sufficient tone poem.

When Beethoven finished his first symphony he needed an event to announce to the world this new foray into the world of symphony, a world inhabited by Mozart and Haydn. And so it was at the stunningly ornate Royal and Imperial Court Theatre in Vienna in April 1800 that the composer took on his audience and won out.

Beethoven tries to bring to his music the torment of a general who finally and tragically realises that the sacrifice of his own life will bring about peace, without loss of honour. It is epic music and the ACO are facing it head on in this program. Tognetti describes Beethoven’s first attempt at writing a symphony as a “winner – Bingo!” “It’s bubble galore. It’s incredibly alive, almost more like Haydn than Mozart; it sounds easy,

Already known as the greatest piano virtuoso in Vienna (he had written two piano concertos by this stage), Beethoven produced what was his first personal benefit concert, including one of the piano concertos, but commencing with a Mozart symphony. It was by so doing, that he really did declare his hand. Beethoven was ready to stand alongside, or perhaps even tower above the past masters.

Perhaps not unlike Beethoven, Greenwood is able to “balance extreme intensity”, according to Tognetti.

The first symphony in every gesture toyed with tonality. It played with people’s aural expectations of where the home was. This was music that set his audience on the edge of their seats.

When Tognetti wrote to Greenwood and asked him how he felt being up against Beethoven, the rock legend nonchalantly replied “we’re all up against Beethoven”.

Beethoven so cleverly works harmonic invention, working around key centres that help to give the music an inherent tension. The opening chord of the first movement is not the expected C major (or home) triad so typically needed for eighteenth century ears, but rather a discord. And though he shifts key by bar three, it is still not the home key.

All this is great fodder for Tognetti and his musicians who eagerly look for the unexpected in their attempt to challenge and excite audiences.

experiment “ ..an interesting in texture..

“

And then there is the Triple Concerto, which Tognetti describes as “an interesting experiment in texture. “It always leaves me a bit puzzled, because essentially it is a cello concerto (Timo-Veikko Valve) with piano accompaniment (Yevgeny Sudbin) and violin commentating (Richard Tognetti), with incredible giocoso, almost operatic orchestral Rossini-like characters coming through. “It is compact with a clear structure. It has a slow fast opening and the brilliant vivacity of the last movement is like Haydn.” To his publishers, Breitkopf and Hartel in Leipzig, Beethoven offered them “something of a novelty”. But was it really a novelty? In the eighteenth century many composers wrote for odd combinations. There were works such as the Sinfonia Concertante (for piano, mandolin, trumpet and bass) by one of Beethoven’s older colleagues, Leopold Kozeluh, and his own teacher Albrechtsberger wrote two Concertos for Jew’s Harp and Mandora. Whilst Beethoven proposed that the work was novel, it was really an orchestral piece with piano trio, although he did more with the cello than is usual in a piano trio. Beethoven’s development of the cello as a solo instrument in his orchestral works did more for liberating the instrument from its continuo status, than any other composer.

Whilst some may claim it is a piano trio with orchestra, and Tognetti sees it more as a cello concerto with accompanying piano and violin, the feat Beethoven overcame in producing this work (with its inherent balance issues) and structural challenges, makes it a work that stands alone as a multi-soloist concerto, not surpassed by any later composer. “So those three works show Beethoven doing totally different things.” And that’s been the key to the ACO’s success for nearly 40 years (25 years under Tognetti’s leadership) – doing things differently. As if three Beethoven works were not enough, but in keeping with doing things differently, a new work was commissioned to place alongside the great eighteenth century master. More than a commission, the rock guitarist Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead took time out to spend some months in Sydney in 2012, working with the ACO. Creating huge excitement, the orchestra members have eagerly awaited the finished composition, which will get its world premiere on the ACO European tour in Dublin on 2 October, with later performances in London and Birmingham before Sydney.

balances “ Greenwood extreme intensity..

“

The work is full of surprises; timpani tuned as if for a movement in a different key, a scherzo in place of a minuet, and a scherzo (musical joke) that shows a perhaps wicked sense of humour, and a particularly frivolous opening fourth movement with violins fooling around with what could be described as false starts.

Tognetti and the ACO members got to know Greenwood well when they performed his music on their 2012 national tour. Popcorn Superhet Receiver was their first foray into Greenwood’s compositions. It came from the soundtrack of the 2007 film, There Will Be Blood, for which Greenwood wrote the score.

Enjoying a reputation not only in the rock world, but also as a film composer (Bodysong, There Will Be Blood, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and The Master), Jonny Greenwood is one of those rare individuals who have transcended the classical and rock genres. Being a guitarist and keyboardist in Radiohead, he also plays viola, glockenspiel, drums, banjo and the Ondes Martenot (an instrument by which he was totally seduced when he discovered the music of Olivier Messiaen).

Based on a Phillip Larkin poem, Greenwood’s new piece, titled Water delves into deeper territory. The powerful forces of belief, religion, light, spirituality may be dismissed by the English poet whose poem gave Greenwood the inspiration, but other forces in the composer’s life also intersect to produce this profound utterance in music. Like Larkin’s questioning of religious thought in his poetry, Greenwood’s attraction to more spiritual ideas came about via the music of Messiaen, encountering for the first time Vingt regards sur l’enfant-Jesus (20 contemplations on the infant Jesus) in a London concert. Greenwood has since declared that his alltime favourite piece of music is Messiaen’s Turangalila Symphony (which used extensively the signature instrument, the Ondes Martenot). Greenwood was so taken with the instrument, that he gave a performance on it at the 2010 Glastonbury Festival. Perhaps it is the uniquely ethereal sound the instrument makes which connects with the musician and a sense of spirituality. All of these twentieth century influences on Greenwood combine to give voice to a uniquely new sound world. Whilst they might be up against Beethoven, Greenwood and Tognetti’s ACO continue to excite audiences with their collective drive to do things differently. It is Greenwood and Tognetti’s exploration of new music, new ways of presenting their music, new ways to connect with audiences, and fresh ideas for old pieces that continue to place them at the forefront of the concert world. - Barry Walmsley

“LANDSCAPE”: THE INSIDE STORY MORPHING INTO A PIANO NINJA

Tamara-Anna Cislowska. Photo – Zaneth Simpson

One of Australia’s most acclaimed piansts, Tamara-Anna Cislowska writes on her experiences of recording “Landscape” the complete solo piano works of the late, great Peter Sculthorpe. Whipping, slapping, hitting, glassing, thumping, scraping, twisting... The rap sheet is long and I admit to it all. I am a callous “perp” - relentless and unyielding. The noise my victim made only incited me to more grievous attacks. We’d spent three days together and had been getting along. What happened next was both unprovoked and unexpected. The victim in question was of German ancestry and had travelled by boat to this country in the hope of a life of service. Everything had gone well until our meeting. My abuse was premeditated. I used my imagination and a multitude of weapons. Some were custom-made, some I’d bought and tested first at home; I even used my bare hands when things really escalated. The whole thing took about 75 minutes but it felt like mere seconds. Time lost its meaning. When it was done I felt no remorse. Like many of my kind, I felt only elation and an increasing compulsion to repeat my acts. My desire was only momentarily sated by today’s spree. I carefully packed up my arsenal, the precious “trophy” of my actions. I felt an odd calm. At peace and strangely proud. And it was done.

I had just created Peter Sculthorpe’s landmark 1971 piece, Landscape, with the help of a psychologically scarred Steinway Model D and co-conspirators - producer and piano technician (who have asked to remain nameless). ✷✷✷ Landscape was composed for the Perth Festival and David Bollard and is for “interior piano”. This means all the sounds are derived from treating the inside of the piano (and, in my case, underside as well) in an unconventional way. The performer must prepare a “tape” part, then improvise another layer over the top in performance. The performer decides the durations and materials for each of the seven sections called A1, B1, C1, D, C2, B2, A2. One of the most important aspects is the symmetrical structure and overall links between each part. Silence is also to be included in the piece. In the instructions, Sculthorpe suggested using timpani mallets and palms on the bass strings for letter A, scraping and running wire brushes along the strings for B and C and striking rapidly in the middle register with thin leather straps, unpedalled. Having spent four days recording all of Sculthorpe’s solo piano works - totalling 160 minutes and 66 years of music - this mountain, or Landscape, was my last to climb – or, traverse. A visit to Optimum Percussion (and a few hundred dollars later) I cannot contain my delight at the stunning array of noise toys in my possession. I have all kinds of mallet: gong, timpani, wooden, rubber; hanging cymbals, a triangle, brushes and leather straps. To this

I would later add: jewellery, pens, pencils, plastic, pipe, plectrums, glass and even my own breath, and use all of them in my 75-minute improvisation that will become Landscape. Imagining the sounds you want is one thing, but actually creating them meant transforming into both a contortionist and a ninja. When I thought of blowing into the soundboard holes, I didn’t foresee that the position required for this would induce the thigh burn of a thousand Spin classes. The sound itself though, was so bracing and evocative that I endured the pain. After that workout it seemed something more sedentary and ladylike would be in order, and so I took to lying under the piano. I know Brahms used to sleep under one, so it felt like a natural and even respectful thing to do (and restful for those thighs). The resulting sounds opened up a whole new world of subterranean splendour - intensely rich and earthy. These became some of the most treasured colours, and formed the basis for section A. I used the triangle frame and glass to create the harmonics and string-bending that underpin section B. For the improvisation I threw small articles onto the strings - a watch, a bangle, a hanging cymbal. C features breath and smothered strings. In D which is the culminating section, various sounds are combined including hands and palms on the crossbars and the low sizzle of the bass strings. In this section the leather whips (fashioned from cymbal straps) are used to create pitched and unpitched flutters. Given the pre-determined form, C2, B2, and A2 contain similar material to their earlier incarnations with slight variations in colour and space. In my mind I conceived as a model a storm of the kind we so often experience in Australia. The type that creeps up on you one drip at a time and then suddenly overwhelms you. The stillness that is palpable. A few rumblings from the earth. How the wind changes so quickly. Then a few drops. The warning signs from nature like the flight and calls of birds. And the increasing intensity and ultimate deluge which can pound so ferociously and yet be so brief. Landscape is a wondrous piece in its conception, utterly rewarding to prepare and bring to life. It is truly living, and breathing, art music. Pianos beware. - Tamara-Anna Cislowska Peter Sculthorpe: Complete Solo Piano Music Tamara-Anna Cislowska (ABC Classics/UMA) available in store and online October 2014

KRUGER SCHOLARSHIP WINNER 2014 ALICIA CROSSLEY Now in its second year, the lucrative Fine Music 102.5 Kruger Scholarship was created to help artists further their careers through financial, broadcast, recording and promotional support. The station’s latest winner is recorder player, Alicia Crossley. Here she tells us about her music career and ambitions. Like so many children beginning their musical endeavours the recorder was my first instrument which I began learning when I was six years old, but it wasn’t a case of love at first sight. I had every intention of learning another instrument like the trumpet when I was old enough, I hated practising, and never looked forward to the long drive from Douglas Park to Wollongong for my weekly lessons (it was only a 30 minute drive but it felt like hours as a child). It wasn’t until I was 16 that I truly began to appreciate the recorder, with its rich catalogue of repertoire, and decided to take the unusual career path of becoming a professional recorder player.

‘..the virtuosic “ Showcasing capabilities of the humble

“

recorder..’

As a performer I aim to present high quality performances that not only show the virtuosic capabilities of the humble recorder, but also display the rich musical history of the instrument, from early renaissance dance tunes to contemporary electro-acoustic compositions. I am also passionate about creating innovative new works for the recorder that push the instrument’s technical limits. In

the last five years I have had the privilege of collaborating with some of Australia’s leading composers including Paul Cutlan, Stephen Yates, Mark Oliveiro, Tristan Coelho, Andrew Batt-Rawden, Alex Pozniak, Chris Williams, Elias Constantopedos, Paul Castles and Hayden Woolf. The opportunity to collaborate with such talented composers is an invaluable experience and I hope to continue compositional collaborations for many years to come.

forces with harpist “ Joining Emily Ann Granger

“

In 2004 I began my tertiary studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music under the guidance of recorder virtuoso Hans-Dieter Michatz, completing a Bachelor of Music (Performance) with first class Honours and a Masters of Music (Performance). It was during my university years that I became particularly passionate about the bass recorder, an instrument that possesses a uniquely haunting tone and has enormous musical potential but is rarely utilised. The lack of virtuosic repertoire for this instrument inspired me to create my debut album Addicted to Bass (2011) which involved the commission, recording and premiere of seven new works that feature bass recorder. Works featured on Addicted to Bass have enjoyed success at a number of festivals and conferences including Aurora Festival (2012), Vivid Festival (Sydney, 2013), Bellingen Music Festival (2014), Australasian Computer Music Conference (Brisbane, 2012), Electronic Music Midwest (Chicago, 2012), and SEAMUS (Minnesota, 2013).

Currently I am in the process of recording my second solo album Alchemy. This album will feature works transcribed for recorder from the baroque, classical, romantic and modern eras and features compositions by J S Bach, Telemann, Tromlitz, Faure, Debussy, Takemitsu, Anne Boyd and Jacob Ter Veldhuis. Each of these compositions highlights a different character of the recorder; Bach’s Cello suite No. 1 transcribed for bass recorder highlights the instruments sonorous tone, Takemitsu’s Toward the Sea reflects the bass recorders husky timbre reminiscent of the shakuhachi, and Jacob Ter Veldhuis’ Garden of Love displays the crisp attack and agility of the tenor recorder. In 2015 I will be presenting works from Alchemy in a concert tour to areas of NSW and Victoria with the valuable support from Fine Music through their Kruger Scholarship.

In addition to supporting the concert tour of Alchemy, Fine Music’s Kruger Scholarship will give valuable assistance in an ongoing collaboration with American harpist Emily Ann Granger. I had the pleasure of meeting Emily when performing in Chicago in 2012. We share a common interest in contemporary music and it seemed only natural that we should join forces to create new pieces and breathe life into some old favourites. In September 2015 we will be presenting concerts for Australian audiences which will include the world premiere of new works by Tristan Coelho, Mark Oliveiro and Andrew Batt-Rawden, with further concerts planned for the USA in 2016. - Alicia Crossley NICK RUSSONIELLO DEBUT ALBUM BETWEEN WORLDS Inaugural Kruger scholarship winner, saxophonist Nick Russoniello launched his debut album Between Worlds in Sydney in August and went on a concert tour to promote the album with his collaborators on the CD, the Acacia Quartet.

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE RISING STAR - ALEX RAINERI

When I called Alex Raineri back in June, I thought I’d misheard when he asked if he could return the call later as he was “just going down into the mine”. It turned out he was indeed about to put on his hardhat and climb aboard a “bogger” in which a piano had been lifted for him to perform for two shows in Underground Opera at Mt Isa in outback Queensland. I’ve since learned not to be at all surprised at where this twenty-one year old pianist’s performances may take him, outside his present commitments in a joint Masters course offered by the Australian National Academy of Music in Melbourne and Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University in Brisbane. It would be demanding enough for many of us to enrol in postgraduate study at just one institution without also frequently straddling the distance between these capital cities. Far from the stereotype of a struggling young artist, Alex’s struggles are more likely to revolve around timetabling issues and flight schedules. His hectic calendar needs fast footwork as well as rigorous fingering practice to prepare for a multitude of activities such as competitions that are de rigeur in honing performance under public pressure and building reputation, playing by invitation at the homes and clubs of passionate, private enthusiasts, and in paid work performing with colleagues or as a guest artist with other professional musicians and ensembles. Take July for example. The first week found him amidst the renowned beauty of New Zealand’s Bay of Islands for five days for the Kerikeri International Piano Competition. Thrilled to be awarded the prestigious and generous first prize of $15,000 as well as the Jill Cottle award for the Best Sonata, he then flew straight back to Brisbane for a Kupka’s Piano concert at The Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts where “Kupka’s” is also resident contemporary music ensemble. As well as preparing his Masters thesis on “Difficulties inherent in contemporary music from the pianist’s perspective”, Alex is Co-Artistic Director and a co-founder of Kupka’s Piano that was launched in 2013, so needs to factor in time for this role too, one he freely admits he loves. From there it was back to ANAM to begin the next semester and prepare for more tightly-spaced hurdles - the first being one of Melbourne’s favourite biennial contests, the

Mietta Song Competition. In early 2013 the duo of soprano Tabatha McFadyen and Alex Raineri took first prize at the National Liederfest in Melbourne and many followers wondered whether they could succeed again in the very distinctive and subtle performance style of the Artsong required by the Mietta. Tabatha was awarded first prize amongst the singers and Alex took second prize as an accompanist.

“Other-worldly” rapidly takes on another meaning. The rush was then on for Alex to finish packing for one of Germany’s most famous summer vacation schools - the International Summer Course for New Music in Darmstadt - one of the epicentres of New Music development since its inception in 1946 just after WWII, and this year attended by some 500 students from around the world.

“It was that wonderful mixture of joy, surprise and relief that washes over you at such moments,” is how Alex describes the result.

Following an Australia Council JUMP grant in 2013, Kupka’s Piano members were able to work intensively with Ensemble Interface from Frankfurt who then encouraged the group to travel to Darmstadt for the first two weeks of August this year. Generous financial support from the Ian Potter Cultural Trust made this possible and gave both Kupka’s as a group and Alex individually, the chance to meet and work with composers whose works have already featured in performances in Brisbane.

Bounding onwards to the next hurdle, ANAM’s Concerto Competition in which all students must compete, Alex proved both his stamina and flexibility as he refocussed on preparing Bartok’s Third Piano Concerto during the brief week before the heat at the South Melbourne Town Hall. He was one of the three chosen to compete at the finals with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marc Taddei on Saturday 4 October in Hobart. Between these two “winning posts”, it was back to Brisbane for Kupka’s Piano rehearsals prior to another sold-out gig at “The Judy”. A few days later it was twentieth century pioneer Morton Feldman’s 1983 Crippled Symmetry for flute/bass flute, piano/celeste, and vibraphone/glockenspiel at the Ian Hanger Recital Hall at the Queensland Con, which was received with rapt response from a relaxed, captivated audience. “Such a beautiful, other-worldly piece – it’s very appealing,” is how Alex describes this contemporary piece.

At the conclusion of the Festival Alex said he was quite astonished to be one of five participants to be awarded a Kranichstein Music Prize Scholarship to participate in the 2016 Darmstadt Summer Course. In the midst of this frantic lifestyle practising, constantly learning new repertoire, chamber music, accompanying, masterclasses, recitals, competition successes, seeking funding grants and not least lessons and mentoring with Tim Young at ANAM and Leah Horwitz and Dr Stephen Emerson at Queensland Con, Alex remains calm and composed while coping with all these clamouring demands. - Penny Shehadeh October 2014

Flashback with Derek Parker STAND UP FOR OPERETTA

I was taken to task earlier this year for referring to Puccini’s La Rondine as an operetta. Well, I suppose it depends what you mean by “operetta” - an Italian publisher had asked him to write “a light opera in something approaching the Austrian manner”, and what came about was as near a Viennese operetta as an Italian could be expected to write, with the obligatory melting aria for the heroine (Chi il bel sogno di Doretta), and in Act II as good a suite of extravert waltzes as Lehar ever wrote.

“

“..What killed operetta?

So what has killed the operetta? Not a change in musical taste - wonderful scores by Suppé, Millöcker, Kálmán, Benatsky and Stolz languish in the way that the minor operas of their “classical” colleagues don’t. The answer is, I think, a change in theatrical taste, which has preserved and enlarged the repertoire of “musicals” at the expense of operetta. Perhaps this was inevitable: the musical is a tough old bird, dating certainly in its basic form from the fifth century BC, though as we know it it was probably born on Broadway (where else?) in 1866 with The Black Crook - a vast musical extravaganza which lasted five and a half hours but had an equally vast success. Within twenty years, Ivan Caryll, Lionel Monckton and Victor Herbert had appeared, then came the Gershwins, Rodgers and Hart, and later Rodgers and Hammerstein - and, crucially, Jerome Kern with the musical that was the first to shock audiences in the way that South Pacific, Les Miserables and Miss Saigon were to shock them much later. Meanwhile, operetta was trying to hang on; there has never been a lull in performances in Vienna; elsewhere Robert Stolz held the fort until the very last moment, and such composer/ performers as Ivor Novello and Noel Coward managed to hold audiences in England until

the ‘50s with works poised uneasily between the two genres - as happened elsewhere, with Leonard Bernstein’s Candide, for instance, described sometimes as a musical, sometimes as an operetta. At all events, by the 1950s the news was out: “the musical” dealt with real life in a way the operetta never tried or attempted to do. Stephen Sondheim described his musical A Little Night Music as “whipped cream with knives”; such musicals as Rent, Chicago, Miss Saigon firmly declined the whipped cream, and others - Cats, Lion King, Fiddler on the Roof rejected both, and relied on sentiment. And audiences have responded. They no longer want the delicious, flippant, purely amusing nonsense of musicals such as like Floradora or No, No, Nanette; just as straight theatre audiences were persuaded to accept the kitchen sink, so the audiences for musicals have come to demand more realism and less froth - though quality in book and lyrics have come to shine in the work of Hammerstein, Sondheim, Don Black as they never did in the often paltry lyrics of the classical operettas. They also demand show revolving stages present the French Revolution and hovering helicopters the Vietnam war. Sadly the expense of providing all that fiddle has often resulted in cut-backs in other areas, notably orchestration: we shall probably never see in Australia a production of Frank Loesser’s The Most Happy Fella, a musical described as

“one of the most ambitiously operatic works ever written for the Broadway theatre”; Loesser simply called it “a musical with music”. It has been revived in America, but the orchestra pit at the Sydney Opera House would have to be expanded three-fold to hold Loesser’s huge orchestra; and who could afford it?

“ ..you can’t fight fashion..

“

But the discussion got me thinking about the death of the operetta - because to all intents and purposes it is dead. Only two, Strauss’ Fledermaus and Lehar’s Merry Widow are regularly performed, with very occasional revivals of a few others - The Land of Smiles and maybe One Night in Venice; we shall never live to see a production of Lehar’s real masterpiece, Giuditta - far too much like an opera for operetta audiences, and too much of an operetta for opera buffs.

Not only that, of course: you can’t fight fashion, and you can’t force people into the theatre at gun-point, though one has sometimes wished it was possible. As things go, it seems unlikely that there will ever be revivals anywhere short of enthusiastic amateur theatres of such masterpieces as Millöcker’s Bettelstudent, Zeller’s Der Vogelhändler, von Suppé’s Die schöne Galathée. Yet more productions of Fledermaus and Merry Widow, plenty of Gilbert and Sullivan (and I don’t know what the Savoy Operas are, but they’re neither operas nor operettas). But a whole genre of musical theatre is lost to us, except on CD and very occasional DVD. It’s very sad; and it’s not the music’s fault. - Derek Parker Derek Parker introduces an hour of music from operetta on the first Saturday evening of each month, in the series The Magic of Stage and Screen.

Tonya Lemoh’s choices of Brahms, Liszt and Granados sit well together as late Romantics. The Brahms Three Intermezzi op.117 - the serene Eb with its tender cantabile, and the fluid and restless C# minor are perfectly crafted and full of emotion and tenderness. The final intermezzo shows off a typical Brahmsian style with rich harmonies. Liszt’s Transcendental Étude No. 11 in D-flat, Du Soir, is a study in harmonies, broken chords played in quick succession, full octave jumps, chromatic harmonies, chord variations, interlocking hands, bravura, massive chords, especially proper pedalling, and performance as a whole. Overall it’s a very demanding work. The du Soir is followed by a couple of Consolations the No.3 in Db - lento placido, a very well-known work

and very reminiscent of Chopin nocturnes, and No.4 in Db - quasi adagio. At this stage one has to speculate as to the frequency and reason of the key of Db. Maybe Db is a contagiously serene key? The final Liszt work, Vallée d’Obermann is the longest, greatest and most profound of the nine pieces from Années de Pelegrinage. The paintings of Goya inspired Enrique Granados to compose a set of pieces which remains his most famous work of which The Lover and the Nightingale is the most popular. Two more “scenes” follow with the nightingale again making its appearance. The final Epilogo is an elegant, simple tribute to the nocturne tradition of Chopin. The CD is well worth its value and will provide much enjoyment. - Emyr Evans

Sonata shows a wide variety of moods with melancholy interspersed with much vigour along with periodic shades of Bridge and Ireland. Geoffrey Allen works include Watercolours Suite for Flute and Piano which features nine short pieces. Amongst them Squalls, Fountains and All the White Horses contribute to some attractive titles. His op.56 Sonata, follows the usual structure, exudes lots of energy particularly in its scherzando. A delightful and dynamic Electric Mouse appears in the Exhibits by May Howlett whilst the work ends with a reflective Streeton’s Noon. Contrasted with the mouse, we hear in the Passacaglia from Elstow Suite by Paul Paviour, some interesting decorated counterpoint supported by choice harmony. Ann Ghander’s Iridescences produces some fascinating effects particularly in the Blue Fish, the last of five short movements.

Overall the whole collection, shows charm and reveals much to us about the works of not too well known Australian composers. - EM

It truly is a delight to find yet another audaciously Australian release. The audacity is wonderfully apparent from the very start in the unorthodox ensemble which Scott and Schulz comprise - cello and piano accordion in duet. For such a pairing, the selection of works presented on Little Birds both reward the expectations of the listener and throws in a few well-calculated surprises. Opening with De Falla’s Suite Populaire Espagnole, the duo establish the playful, Bohemian quality of the entire collection and their own musicianship in one swift stroke. Of particular note is Scott’s employment of glissandi in her playing which always serves to enhance the performance, sometimes even comically so but nevertheless in line with the character of the piece and the ensemble sound. Indeed, there are numerous

moments where Scott and Schulz blend their timbres so well that the effect is of one instrument playing. Appropriately enough this occurs most frequently in their Bach inventions where one might dread the transposition from keyboard to accordion but, in this case, without cause. The standout work on Little Birds however is Bartok’s Romanian Folk Dances. Making full use of the range, performance techniques and expressive qualities of both instruments, the set of six dances from Eastern Europe are infused with a vigour, mystery and beauty that I have not yet heard in other renditions. Schulz’s own compositions Little Birds and Gertrude are sombre and nostalgic respectively and add to the quality of the CD and make it a very worthy addition to any collection. - Joshua McNulty

range of European favourites, interspersed with Australian contemporaries, each bringing their particular ethnic backgrounds and influences to the fore. McMichael and Cislowska’s playing is exquisite. They eloquently explore the possibilities of each instrument’s performance techniques and tone colours. At times it is hard to believe there are only two instruments involved. The violin expertly accomplishes single and multiple voice lines, then accompanies its own superimposed harmonic melodies. The piano twinkles and glistens whilst also providing textural depth and strength. Above all, both musicians demonstrate the meaning of true ensemble: they know when to highlight important melodies, and when to provide the appropriate support for their partner to shine. He may not speak in his playing, exactly, but while considering which world seems most promising he conveys many moods and ideas, expressively articulated in the absence of words, and avoiding any soundscapes others may have visited before. He does it with a few abrupt boops and bumps, climbing way up to ethereal flute sounds which wind round him and each other on their way to helping him find answers to those questions about how saxophones get on with strings. While there is not quite enough of any of it here to be entirely convincing, Russoniello shows himself to be a confident interpreter and performer, with scope to prove how far he can extend himself as a composer too. Between Worlds finds Russoniello already worth listening to, and George Frideric Handel was a prolific composer particularly of operas and between 1705 and 1741 he wrote 42 musical dramas in various genres. Rodelinda, on this CD, was premiered in 1725 at the King’s Theatre in London. During the 36 years in which Italian opera was his principal concern, Handel adhered closely to the typical form of the era, determined by the precedence given to solo singing and to stage presentation in which set changes were made in front of the audience and the curtain not lowered until the work’s conclusion. All a bit different from the manner of today’s presentations! Richard Bonynge’s useful sleeve notes give much insight into the historical aspect of Handel’s operas, as well as to his own personal involvement which, after the emergence of the Handel Opera Society in 1962, still

The CD includes 15 works: lullabies, berceuses, a Palindrome, an Axeman, a Broken Rosary and a full 18 Spoonfuls. Sounds are drawn from Ravel, Sibelius and Stravinsky. They are sometimes full and luscious, sometimes thin and wistful. Recent compositions, whose motifs can be atonal and dissonant, blend perfectly with their post-impressionist predecessors. Adriansz is reminiscent of Satie, and Chisholm uses the violin’s extensive range of performance techniques to redefine “lullaby”. Enescu is quite avant-garde for his time, and Kats-Chernin completely masters the mixing of melodic colour writing harking back to traditional Tsigane origins.

Many of these early performances included Joan Sutherland performing the role of Rodelinda with Janet Baker and Margreta Elkins in the cast. The Handelian scholar Winton Dean wrote of Rodelinda “Handel expresses every facet of conjugal emotion - separation, longing, despair, hope, relief - in music of marvellous eloquence in richness of melodic invention it can hold its own in any company.” Overall, the recording shows much merit in a performance by some eloquent, elegant performances from singers, Valda Wilson, Fiona Janes, John Longmuir, Liane Keegan, Lorinda Gore and from the Sydney Lyric Orchestra all impressively directed by Richard Bonynge.

THE CHANGING LIGHTS Stacey Kent Warner Brothers 54162-2

✶✶✶✶✶

Stacey Kent was only 14 when she discovered the endless charm of Brazilian music through the Verve album Getz/Gilberto, a blending of jazz and bossa nova. During her musical journey as she moved into the top echelon of jazz singers, Kent has not only shown her affinity with the variety of Brazil’s musical sounds but has also learned to speak Portuguese fluently and takes a great interest in the nation’s affairs. She also speaks fluent French, Italian and German. It would be trite to dismiss this album, her 10th with her husband the Stan Getz-inspired Jim Tomlinson, as just another bossa nova set.

✶✶✶✶✶ Barney Kessel, the anointed heir to Charlie Christian, the father of the modern jazz guitar, was the most popular and widely recorded guitarist of the 1950s. The album title is slightly misleading as it refers to his first four albums for the Contemporary label after his 12 months with the Oscar Peterson Trio. However, he had already recorded albums as a leader on Atomic (June, 1945) and Norman Granz’s Clef label (July 1953). But these Contemporary albums from 1953-56 contain some of Kessel’s finest playing, arguably some of the best of his career.

perfectly. An artistic endeavour of the highest standard, it owes much of its musical success to Tomlinson’s delicate arrangements. In writing them, he imagined the group was a guitar which enabled him to retain the music’s rhythmic and harmonic richness without altering its fluidity and consistency. This is Brazilian music, melancholy as it moves between dark and light yet sparkling with real life - and it needs a voice like Kent’s, light but expressive yet engaging and evocative, to carry it off which she does admirably. A highlight, and there are many, is the sheer beauty of her singing, devoid of any extravagance, on How Insensitive. Tomlinson is superb: listen to his Stan Getzinspired tenor on O Barquinto which he wrote with Roberto Menescal whose gentle guitar is also featured. He co-wrote six of the numbers,

continuing his partnership with novelist and lyricist Kashuo Ishigura on three of them, the best of which is We Crossed Europe In The Rain. Not to be missed.

The first three Stan Kenton albums I bought as a teenager - this one, its companion volume (Sketches On Standards) and the 1956 set Stan Kenton In Hi-Fi, a remake of his most popular instrumentals, still remain my favourites by the pianist, arranger and composer who led an innovative, influential and often controversial jazz orchestra. Controversial! The late Whitney Balliett, jazz critic of the New Yorker magazine, described Kenton’s orchestra as a ”castle of musical horrors”. The first two were originally released as 10” LPs but I have always preferred this one because of the presence of Zoot Sims, the outstanding soloist in a 1953 band full of strong jazz personalities such as Lee Konitz (alto), Conte Candoli (trumpet) and Frank Rosolino (trombone). But Sims was special with

an unmatched feeling for melody and rhythm and, more importantly, his own unique sound. On live dates Kenton introduced his star tenor soloist as Jack Sims, strangely reluctant to use the nickname for which he was widely known. Arranger Bill Holman ended that by writing a feature for him called Zoot. The charts on the mainly lightly but swinging first nine tracks were written by Bill Russo, the other six by Kenton showing his romantic approach, epitomised by Street Of Dreams featuring his piano against lustrous trombone lines and smooth saxophones. For me the most satisfying tracks are How High The Moon, taken at its original slow tempo featuring muted Candoli and a superb Sims’ solo, and Baia, in which Chris Connors’ voice is used as an instrument.

yet gentle but tempered with aggression. He’s accompanied by some of the cream of the then southern Californian jazz scene: drummer Shelly Manne, pianists Hampton Hawes and Jimmy Rowles, trumpeter Harry “Sweets” Edison, and reed players Bud Shank, Bob Cooper, Buddy Collette and Bill Perkins. I couldn’t think of a better introduction to West Coast jazz, a style which I find these days more satisfying than much of the traditional fare I listened to in my youth. The music is also a reminder, if any is needed, of what a great drummer Manne was. No wonder he dominated the polls in Down Beat magazine during this period. Listen to his drumming with Kessel on The Carioca. Except for the occasional original, the first two albums (Easy Like and Kessel Plays Standards) are quartet and quintet sessions exploring the

music of Ellington, Gershwin, Vernon Duke and Rodgers and Hart among others, all tastefully done. It sums up this welcome reissue.

SWINGING ON THE VINE SWINGING THE DREAM

“A good lyric should be rhymed conversation.” I thought of the great lyricist Ira Gershwin’s words as I wearily trudged up the hill towards my Hunter Valley hideaway, my sanctuary from the selfish, selfie narcissism of the 21st century, where Big J awaits always ready to savour the fruit of the red grape. To think my only true friend is an alcoholic pig. Maybe I should begin writing lyrics myself to a tune I could call “In The Dog House Again - Constantly”.

Tender Trap and Come Blow Your Horn and many other comedies were virtually templates of the lifestyle of Van Heusen, well known as a ladies’ man. But Van Heusen, the epitome of a Hollywood swinging bachelor who did not marry until late in life at 56, wrote some of the most moving songs in popular music - All The Way, To Love And Be Loved and All My Tomorrows. One of the most gifted songwriters, these three songs represented a different kind of romanticism.

Of course the catalyst for my troubles was once again the insufferable Clifford who turned up for dinner - he could have rung with his Medusa-like partner Cherry PoobsyPie Flowering Blossom. She’s riding high at the moment with her “big hit” Don’t Bug Me Bitch. Twenty thousand hits on Twitter in the first 24 hours of its release claims a smirking Clifford. The Twitterati must have been entranced by the “lyrics”: “Don’t bug me bitch, I’m not your snitch, I’m no fragile beach shell, I’m the harridan from hell . . .” Ah bogun speak. Isn’t it wonderful? Where would you be without it? And there was the smirking Clifford asking me how I had enjoyed the bottle of wine he had left me. Wine? It could have been used as a paint stripper. With Neanderthal drums beating in my head I reached for his throat only for a shrill command from The Voice to leave the house screaming that she didn’t want the world to know she married a moron. I Married A Moron - sounds like the title of a song. I wonder what lyrics Johnny Mercer could have come up for it. Lyricist Sammy Cahn, whose centenary of birth was celebrated last year alongside his most celebrated partner Jimmy Van Heusen, when asked what came first, the words or the music, always quipped: “The phone call”. Cahn and Van Heusen wanted the public to think of them as professionals first - and artists second. They considered themselves tailors crafting songs for artists, producers and the marketplace. Yet they were songwriters of the highest order as shown in the hundreds of tunes they wrote together from 1955 to 1972, which combined Van Heusen’s ingenious sweeping melodies with Cahn’s warm and witty lyrics - cynical, when sending up social conventions in Love And Marriage, or sentimental in Incurably Romantic. But there was no doubt their

construction and craftsmanship are of the highest class whether it be rhythmic baubles like Ring-A-Ding Ding or Come Dance With Me or even more so on Only The Lonely. And let’s not forget the yearning of All The Way or the style-defining Come Fly With Me. Cahn and Van Heusen were longstanding friends of Frank Sinatra who brought the two together in 1955 to write the music for his movie The Tender Trap. Their songs were written for him for either movies or for his legendary concept albums. Cahn once said: “Sinatra spends his days with me and the nights with Van Heusen.” Cahn was married whereas Van Heusen was a bachelor who always seemed to have a lovely woman on his arm. Despite their differing lifestyles, they were good friends and had a long, healthy and productive musical collaboration. Van Heusen understood Sinatra’s style of singing. Sinatra understood Van Heusen’s concept of melody. Sinatra always stayed true to what Van Heusen and Cahn wrote because the songs were imbued with his personality. Therefore, there was no need for him to change anything such as adding hip phrases to make the songs his own. It was the perfect combination of singer and composer. Another Cahn quip: “The trouble with Sinatra is that he thinks he’s Van Heusen.” The role of the footloose and fancy free bachelor which Sinatra portrayed in The

Cahn and Van Heusen were not noted for writing traditional musicals - in fact they wrote very few - but were top songwriters in Hollywood during the final years of the studio system, being masters of themes for movie titles whether drama or comedy. Between them they won three Oscars for Best Song All The Way (1957), High Hopes (1958) and Call Me Irresponsible (1963). They also enjoyed considerable success with other partners, Van Heusen winning an Oscar in 1944 with Johnny Burke for Swinging On A Star and Cahn with Jule Styne in 1954 for Three Coins In A Fountain. Van Heusen and Burke wrote nearly all the songs in Bing Crosby’s movies and Cahn and Styne most of the melodies in Sinatra’s early musical films. I’ve often wondered why Norman Granz did not have Ella Fitzgerald sing the music of Van Heusen - or for that matter Harry Warren in her monumental songbook series of great American composers for the Verve label in the 1950s and early 1960s. Think of some of the melodies he wrote with Burke before his fragile health ended his partnership with Van Heusen in 1955 - Like Someone In Love, Bit Beautiful, Polka Dots And Moonbeams, It Could Happen To You, Here’s That Rainy Day, Imagination and Moonlight Becomes You. They would form the basis for any fine album with the many numbers he wrote with Cahn an added bonus. Sadly Van Heusen, described by Cahn as a “hypochondriac” who showed bravery as a test pilot during World War Two, virtually became a recluse in his final years. In tribute I raise my glass and Big J snorts into his bowl of red wine as Sinatra swings through Come Fly With Me… - Patrick D Maguire

OCTOBER PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS PETER SCULTHORPE (1929 – 2014) October’s program honours the music of Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe who died in August at the age of 85. We are rebroadcasting a landmark series of four programs produced by Gwynn Roberts to celebrate Peter Sculthorpe’s 80th birthday in 2009. The composer took part in the original production which included his own commentary and insights on each work played, and it is timely to listen to this series again as FM102.5’s tribute to the much loved composer. The dates and times, with some of the more significant works are: Sunday, 5 October, 2-4pm, A Man for All Seasons, which includes Irkanda I (1954), the Quartet no 9 (1975), Port Essington (1977), one of his most performed works, and Requiem (2004); Friday, 10 October, 2.30-4pm, Memorials, with the String Sonata no 2 (1988), Piano Concerto (1982) and a moving lament for Port Arthur; Sunday, 19 October, 2-4pm, Aspects of Landscape, including Kakadu (1988), Nourlangie (1989), Songs of Sea and Sky (19878), notably with fellow Australian composer Nigel Westlake playing the clarinet and Great Sandy Island (1988), and Friday, 24 October, 2.30-4.00pm, Peter Sculthorpe: A Celebration, with Sun Music III (1967), My Country Childhood (1999) and The Fifth Continent (1963). The series draws out Sculthorpe’s concern for the environment and the Australian landscape, and for humanity. In an article originally published in the Fine Music (then 2MBS) magazine in 2001, Sculthorpe discussed the sources of his music - “the Australian landscape and Tasmania have been my most constant sources of inspiration. I have also been affected by the death of friends and loved ones, starting with the death of my father.” For those of us who were young in the 1960s, the emergence of Peter Sculthorpe’s distinctive, contemporary Australian musical voice was exciting and inspirational. He drew on the sounds of the outback, celebrating our Australianness and becoming a composer for our own times. It was an accessible way to learn to listen to new music, not primarily through the formal structures of European classical music but through the identifiable and evocative sounds and moods of Australia. In the first of these works, Irkanda 1, he used birdcalls for the first time. Irkanda, an aboriginal word meaning “a remote and lonely place,” was written in Canberra in the 1950s, from a position halfway up Mount Ainslie, describing the contours of

the surrounding hills in haunting sounds and slow, evocative music. His 1977 composition, Port Essington, combined a string orchestra and string trio to tell the story of the settlement attempted in Port Essington in the Northern Territory in the first half of the nineteenth century. He saw the failed settlement as a metaphor for Australia, at a time when we still clung to our British and European roots, but suggests with characteristic optimism that the two could come together by combining the orchestra and trio in the Arietta movement. The final movement is elegiac in tone. In later years, he continued to reference Australia but was inspired also by Asia including the Balinese gamelan, Japanese court music and wider world issues. He became interested in indigenous Australia, most notably the distinctive music of the didgeridoo, often in partnership with didgeridoo player, William Barton. Requiem, composed for the 2004 Adelaide Festival, was written at the beginning of the Iraq war, for the children killed in war. He based the music on an Aboriginal lullaby and the plainsong of the early Christian masses. The final piece in the four programs, The Fifth Continent, was composed in 1963. It combines the voice of the narrator, in this recording Sculthorpe himself, reading from D H Lawrence’s novel, Kangaroo, with the orchestra. The narrative preceding each movement is concerned with coming to terms with the Australian landscape. The final movement, the Epilogue, closes with hope and optimism as the landscape bursts into bloom. The music takes us back to the early years of Sculthorpe’s compositions, and forward to his later works and the many subsequent Australian composers whose works he influenced.

CONTINUING SERIES As well as the Sculthorpe tribute programs, there are other important works programmed for October. One of our regular series is Evenings With The Orchestra every Thursday at 8pm, focussing on major orchestral works. On 2 October, we hear Featuring Mstislav Rostropovich, showcasing the superb Rostropovich as both cellist and conductor. On 9 October, there is a live recording of William Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast, with the Sydney Youth Orchestra, Sydney Philharmonia Choir and Peter Coleman-Wright, baritone; on 16 October, German Composers of the Classical Era; on 23 October, The Baltic Influence, and on 30 October, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra with legendary conductors including Claudio Abbado, Charles Mackerras, Herbert von Karajan and Lorin Maazel. In another key series, At the Opera, a complete opera is played every Wednesday at 8pm. Notable this month, on 22 October, we hear Richard Strauss’ powerful one act opera, Elektra, in a recording by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Georg Solti. You might like to compare the Solti recording, with Birgit Nilsson as Elektra, Regina Resnik as Klytemnestra and Marie Collier as Chrysothemis, with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s remarkable semi-staged performance of Elektra last year in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, with David Robertson conducting and Christine Brewer singing the title role, if you were fortunate enough to be there. Elektra is the penultimate of a series of Richard Strauss’ operas heard every two months this year to celebrate his birth 150 years ago in 1864. The final opera in the series, Capriccio, will be heard on 24 December. NOT TO BE MISSED And now for something completely different. Right at the end of the month in Fine Music Drive at 4pm on Friday, 31 October, Halloween, we have a program so special and spooky that it cannot yet be revealed. Suffice to say that Count Oscar Fungus will rise from his coffin to present three terrifying hours of music plumbing the depths of darkness and horror. A Drive for all eternity - we can say no more. - Cynthia Kaye/Frank Morrison October 2014

Echo thinks that another woman is responsible at first, but later realises that Narcissus himself is at fault. As appeals to friends or gods cannot change the situation, Echo thinks the only solution is death. Only then does Narcissus realise the problem and that he should die also. Their friends and gods intervene to prevent this, bringing both lovers to self-awareness and reconciliation. Philidor, F-A. Overture, Prologue, Part 1, from Carmen saeculare (1779).

Werther, a young poet, falls in love with Charlotte, who, following her dead mother’s wishes, marries Albert. Werther, distraught, is comforted by Sophie and Albert, who suspects he loves Charlotte. Werther leaves the town but returning at Christmas finds Charlotte reading his letters. He realises she returns his love but she rejects his advances. He sends a message asking for Albert’s pistols.

AMINA: Joan Sutherland, sop ELVINO: Nicolai Gedda, ten LISA: Jeanette Scovotti, sop RODOLFO: Ezio Flagello, bass Metropolitan Opera Ch & O/Silvio Varviso Arkadi HP 620 - 2 2:10 Amina, unkown to her friends, is a somnambulist whom the simple peasants believe to be a wandering ghost. Then one night she is discovered in Rodolfo’s bedroom at the inn which Rodolfo has courteously left. This action does not save a village scandal as Lisa quickly spreads the news that Amina has been indiscreet with Rodolfo. Even though Rodolfo assures everyone that Amina is innocent, Elvino, her lover, watches Almina’s house. The next night the somnambulism is dramatically proved real as Almina walks a dangerous plank over the swift-flowing mill stream. She awakes in her lover’s arms and the ‘ghost’ is laid to rest. 22:30 THE ART OF AX! Prepared by Sheila Catzel Beethoven, L. Sonata no 3 in A, op 69 (1808). Yo-Yo Ma, vc. CBS M2K 42446 28 Haydn, J.

Elektra mourns the death of her father, murdered by her mother Klytemnestra and her lover. She awaits the return of her brother Orest to avenge the murder. Her sister Chrysothemis warns that their mother is planning to restrict Elektra’s freedom. Klytemnestra appears, haunted by dreams. Elektra says they can be stilled only by a sacrifice: of Klytemnestra herself. Chrysothemis tells Elektra that Orest is dead. Elektra urges her to help carry out vengeance, but Chrysothemis runs away. A stranger arrives, who eventually reveals himself as Orest. He kills Klytemnestra and her lover. Elektra bursts into a wild dance of exultation and collapses. Trio no 1 in A (1877). Amelia Piano Trio. Naxos 8.570896
