So much to talk about in this issue. We lead off with insights from Robert Clark into the recently launched Sydney Symphony Orchestra 2015 season which promises so much with “plenty for the soul and the mind”.

Clark speaks with maestro David Robertson about the program and the artists who include international soloists such as Yuja Wang, Christian Tetzlaff and Anthony Marwood.

The SSO also recently announced its tribute for the Anzac Centenary. In April 2015, they collaborate with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra to simultaneously perform world premieres that commemorate the Gallipoli landings. The Australian content comes from Perth composer James Ledger - a piece for choir and orchestra titled War Music - while New Zealand composer Michael Williams contributes with Letters from the Front.

Described as the “antithesis” of the flamboyant and dazzling Yuja Wang, pianist Marina Yakhlakova recently partnered with fledgling Australian recording company Master Performers to produce a DVD which includes Franz Schubert’s Piano Sonata in A minor and Schubert/Liszt 8 Lieder transcriptions.

The young Russian is a star on the rise and winner of the most recent Franz Liszt International Piano Competition. According to Queensland Symphony Orchestra artistic director Richard Wenn, Yakhlakova’s seemingly delicate and childlike persona conceals a demonic pianist of stamina, technical facility and tender lyricism. More in Paul Carasco’s article on page 5.

Sue McCreadie takes a look at a significant new CD set for which guitarist Ermanno Brignolo has compiled and performed The Andres Segovia Archive - Complete Guitar Music Written for Andrés Segovia. Page 13.

In casting back to yesteryear, Derek Parker writes on the early days of radio and Patrick Thomas lauds the contribution to music of Professor Larry Sitsky on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

The station bade a sad farewell to Michael Ingamells, a great contributor to Fine Music FM. The much admired volunteer trainer of presenters, and friend to many at the station, passed away in July. Vale Michael Ingamells.

BEAUTY, BRAINS AND BEETHOVEN SYDNEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA LAUNCHES 2015 SEASON

of use Schumann “…you kind as an anchor…

“

The first concerts of season 2015 demonstrate this intent nicely. All four Schumann symphonies will be performed over a period of two weeks, with Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor featuring Christian Tetzlaff, and contemporary works by German composers Jörg Widmann and Georges Lentz interposed between them. “In a sense you kind of use Schumann as an anchor,” says Robertson, “both because Mendelssohn was a huge advocate of Schumann, and because Schumann fulfilled this role, which was so important in German musical life, as a critic, composer, writer and proselytiser.” Moreover, Robertson wants to provide the opportunity for audiences to experience the true scale and perspective of the music on offer. “The symphonies reflect this whole notion of how you can take the orchestra and turn it into something huge. So having this ability to look at all four of them and grasp them in the programs, I think is going to be something really nice.”

The concept of perspective in musical performance is clearly important to Robertson.

Not just to explain the context behind masterpieces such as Schubert’s symphonies, but also to provide what he calls a “point of reference” from which to appreciate them.

This is one of the key motivations behind combining works from contrasting periods in a single concert, which will be a feature of season 2015. “The gestures that one group makes,” he says, “help to enlighten or put into perspective the other works you’re listening to on the same program.”

stimulating “ Epic scope, connections

“

When I ask David Robertson to describe his relationship with the Sydney Symphony so far, his reply comes without hesitation: “Euphoric”, he says with a broad grin. “I came in this morning and I thought I was going to look like an idiot, because I was just smiling the whole time.” The affable Californian is clearly proud of what has been achieved since he began as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director this year, and he’s markedly excited about what lies ahead. Planning seasons is something Robertson is renowned for and something he enjoys both creatively and intellectually. So it’s not surprising that next year will have plenty for the soul and the mind.

In this spirit of context and contrast, the season opening gala will be a production of epic scope and stimulating connections. Not content in “only” performing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony - which will feature the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs along with soprano Miriam Gordon-Stewart, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung, tenor Simon O’Neill, and baritone Teddy Tahu Rhodes - the program will also include Act III of Berg’s Wozzeck. As Robertson explains, the reason for this juxtaposition is that Beethoven began writing his Ninth at the same time the real-life Johann Christian Wozzeck committed the crime that Büchner would base his famous play on. “It’s the very first time in German-speaking lands that ‘not guilty by reason of mental impairment’ is put forward in the defence” says Robertson, “so there’s all of this going on and Beethoven must have known about it. All of a sudden it gives to Ode to Joy and the whole idea of brotherhood a completely different quality, and one which allows us to see that Beethoven is not just saying, ‘oh gee everything is going to be great.’

There’s one really important phrase where he

says ‘If you haven’t been able to really take another as your own, who is as precious to you as life is itself, then I’m afraid you have to leave this brotherhood.’ So it’s really looking at the incredible responsibility that we all have to be a member of society and to try and make the world better.”

The Wozzeck excerpt will be performed by the same soloists featured in the Ninth Symphony, a prospect that delights Robertson: “the person who sang Wozzeck and did these horrible things will be the same person who comes out and sings ‘oh friends, not these tones’” he says excitedly. It will also be staged in what he refers to as an “enhanced performance” mode, with accompanying visual elements. This will also be the case for the staging of another taut psychological drama, Tristan and Isolde, which will be performed in June. The eponymous roles will be sung by two of Robertson’s favourite singers: soprano Christine Brewer and tenor Stuart Skelton. “I’ve heard Christine sing Isolde before and she is just amazing,” says Robertson, “and I’ve worked with Stuart now for twenty years, and I just love his intelligence and passion and musicality. The idea of being able to work on that score with this orchestra

If tragic love stories are your thing, then you won’t want to miss the grandest of them all, Romeo and Juliet. This will be a joint production between the SSO and The Bell Shakespeare Company, with John Bell himself narrating scenes from Prokofiev’s famous ballet. Sydney favourite Simone Young will return to conduct the performances, from 20 to 24 August.

- swapping “Olding violin for baton

“

High-profile guest conductors abound in season 2015. Richard Gill will return for more Discovery concerts, leading the orchestra for Beethoven’s Symphony No.2, Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer showcasing young Sydney baritone Alexander Knight, Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite and Strauss’ Death and Transfiguration. Dean Olding will be very familiar to Sydney audiences as a virtuoso violinist, but on two occasions next year he will swap his violin for a baton.

In February he will lead the orchestra through a collection of Mozart arias featuring the renowned Australian soprano, Fiona Campbell.

In May, Olding will return for Fathers and Sons: Mozart and Bach. As the name suggests, and given Robertson’s proclivity for fascinating connections between works within a program, this concert will feature music by the junior and senior members of both the Mozart and Bach families. In a drawcard for fans of young Australian talent, recent winner of the inaugural Australian Cello Awards, Yelian He, will perform C P E Bach’s Cello Concerto in A. The roster of international conductors is also very impressive in 2015 and will feature some impressive young talent. American sensation Ward Stare will conduct a rich program entitled Song and Dance: Canteloube

and Ravel in March; French maestro Lionel Bringuier will take on Brahms’ Piano Concerto with the equally prodigious Yuja Wang as soloist; and Scandinavia’s Daniel Blenduff will conduct Sibelius’ Symphony No.5 and the Brahms Violin Concerto, which will feature Janine Jansen as soloist. There will also be a few masters returning to Sydney, including Yan-Pascal Tortelier to conduct a program of Mozart and Franck with pianist Louis Lortie. Mark Wigglesworth will conduct Act II of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker and songs from Mahler’s Des Knaben Wunderhorn, and luminaries Charles Dutoit (works by Ravel, Debussy, Berlioz and Resphigi) and Edo de Waart (works by Strauss, Wagner, Mozart and Elgar) will grace the Concert Hall.

Other guest soloists to look forward to include Christian Tetzlaff performing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor; British violinist Anthony Marwood will join David Robertson to perform a provocative work by contemporary American composer Steven Mackey entitled Beautiful Passing for violin and orchestra; Macedonian pianist Somn Trpceski will join guest conductor Vasily Petrenko to perform Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1; Isabelle Faust will perform Mozart’s 1st and 4th Violin Concertos and direct the SSO in Dvorák’s Czech Suite; eclectic Russian-American pianist Kirill Gerstein will perform Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in August (and will feature in recital in November, too); AnneSophie Mutter will return to perform two Dvoˇrák works, his Romance for violin and orchestra and his Violin Concerto with special guest conductor, Jakub Hrusa; American pianist Peter Serkin (son of Rudolph) will perform Wagner, Bartok and Brahms; and the SSO’s concertmaster, Andrew Haveron, will perform Walton’s Violin Concerto in October.

..more than just attractive “pieces of music in isolation.

to a “dialogue across the season,” whereby a composer features in numerous programs at the hands of a diverse range of interpreters throughout a single season. It’s another example of the Chief Conductor scheduling more than just attractive pieces of music in isolation. The whole season weaves through a complex labyrinth of periods and genres. In March, for instance, legendary jazz trumpeter James Morrison will be joined by the sultry tones of Hetty Kate for An Evening with Ella, Louis and the Duke: James Morrison’s A-Z of Jazz.

Robertson tells me that concerts like these are the sorts of projects “where you realise the type of power an orchestra has. It’s colossal in terms of the variety of sounds that it can make, the variety of repertoire that it can play, but especially the incredible martialing of all of this intelligence, represented by all of these incredible artists coming together and working together at the same time. For me there isn’t anything like it.”

A focus on diversity of repertoire and powerful performances also plays into Robertson’s plan to engage with all corners of his new audience here in Sydney: “The more I get to know Australian musical life and the actual culture here in Sydney, the more I understand how we can play a really dynamic role in that. One of the things that we’re exploring is how much further we can do things that respond to the desires of the community.” Sydneysiders would agree that these desires have been more than met so far, and judging by the 2015 program, this looks set to continue. - Robert Clark

“

is just awesome.” The performance will feature projected visual art that will enhance the narrative, and Robertson says it will be “one of those experiences I’m really looking forward to; it’s totally not to be missed.”

October will also see a performance of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and a host of high-profile soloists. This, according to Robertson, contributes

THE LEGACY OF CHOPIN

A MAGNIFICENT WEEK OF MUSIC-MAKING It is probably safe to say that listeners of Fine Music 102.5 usually need little or no convincing about the importance of classical music. The music of Frederick Chopin however, seems to attract particularly ardent admirers, not just within Australia (or, indeed Poland!) but in fact around the globe. A recent British TV documentary from 2012 was called simply “Chopin Saved My Life”, and anyone who caught it will attest that the title was no mere journalistic conceit. Several years earlier no lesser organisation than UNESCO also found cause to place the composer on its “Memory of the World List”, the cultural equivalent of the World Heritage List.

The simple truth is that Chopin’s piano music represents one of the greatest creative legacies Western culture has produced. For this reason alone the School of Music at the Australian National University in Canberra is proud to be hosting the Second Australian International Chopin Competition. It is the only one of its kind in Australia and the region and includes a composition competition, seminars, workshops, masterclasses and a day devoted to exploring the School’s recently

acquired 1847 Pleyel grand piano - Chopin’s favoured instrument. We are particularly delighted by the significant increase in interest the competition has received and look forward indeed to the prospect of welcoming 16 shortlisted candidates to the nation’s capital for a

To be sure, competitions are not the “be all and end of all” of music making - but they nevertheless provide a tremendous opportunity for aspiring concert artists to test their skills in front of a discerning audience and learn from peers and great teachers alike. A competition dedicated to the music of Chopin also helps encourage the mastery of the great tradition of romantic pianism more generally; the art of turning a mechanical contraption into one of the most powerful communicators of lyrical and poetic impulses humanity has ever devised. And, of course, a competition provides a most welcome occasion to experience such music-making with unparalleled intensity and at particularly close quarters. You are most warmly invited to join Artistic Director Maciej Pawela, members of the international jury, and 16 sensational young pianists for what promises to be a magnificent week of music-making.

PETER SCULTHORPE SUN MUSIC MAN

…the most original sound to “ emerge from Australia since

Nellie Melba.

human condition comes across in works such as his choral Requiem (2004), which grew from his concern for the women and children killed in the war in Iraq; whilst his String Quartet No.16 (2006), was sparked by the tragic plight of asylum seekers in detention. From time to time, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Island, and the Gamelan music of Indonesia, were notable influences and idioms from which he has drawn.

Retired conductor and Fine Music presenter and programmer, Patrick Thomas writes on Australia’s beloved composer, Peter Joshua Sculthorpe AO OBE who died in Sydney on 8 August.

Born in Launceston in 1929 to parents Joshua and Edna, and with a distant relative, Fanny Cochrane Smith, believed to be a Tasmanian Aborigine, Peter Sculthorpe received his early education at that city’s Church Grammar School, before in the immediate Post-World War II years, sitting at the feet of the then Ormond Professor, Sir Bernard Heinze, at Melbourne’s

Recently listed in surveys as an Australian Icon and one of its Living Treasures, Peter’s lasting place within the highest echelon of Australian music is assured.

University Conservatorium, along with a number of other students who also achieved later notability as composers and musicians.

Sculthorpe’s post graduate studies were undertaken at Wadham College, Oxford; and at Yale University, USA, as a Harkness Fellow. Then from 1963, on the staff of the University of Sydney’s Music Department, Peter Sculthorpe (eventually Emeritus Professor) exerted a powerful influence on such composers as Anne Boyd, Barry Conyngham, Ross Edwards, Elliott Gyger, Matthew Hindson, Matthew Orlovich and Paul Stanhope. Though perhaps more significantly, he will be remembered by the legion of graduate and other students, both there and in other tertiary institutions within and outside Australia, for his counsel, friendship and inspiration. In 1977 he was awarded the OBE, and in 1990 the AO, along with numerous well-deserved honours and various honorary doctorates.

350-plus compositions “…his frequently reveal a love of country…

“

Whether here or overseas, when the names of Australian composers arise in conversation, you can bet your last Aussie dollar that Peter Sculthorpe’s will, irrespective of whether people have heard a note of his music. It’s as if his name were embedded in their subconscious minds as one of Down Under’s cultural identities. If this has resulted from his early Sun Music series, or from various other works amongst the several hundred he has produced, it is possible also to have been influenced by classical music’s subliminal marketing over the years. But whatever the reasons, some might see Sculthorpe as having gained a charismatic image, and a familiarity among the general public, not all that far below that of Barry Humphries, Clive James, Norman Lindsay, Brett Whiteley, d’Arcy Doyle or Margaret Olley. And that’s by no means common for classical composers in what, sadly, is our heavily biased sports and pop culture! A fact too, is that many international aficionados have waxed eloquently over the years regarding Sculthorpe. Writing in the influential Gramophone magazine some years ago, Ivan Moody described him as “one of the world’s greatest living composers.” The controversial and widely read Norman Lebrecht once claimed Sculthorpe’s music as the “most original sound to emerge from Australia since Nellie Melba” and that he (Sculthorpe) had demonstrated an awareness of regional contexts, establishing a “musical figurehead for the entire Pacific Basin”.

Similar heady tributes are also on the record from other high-profile critics.

Covering most forms of music, his 350-plus compositions frequently reveal a love of country, the Earth’s landscape, environment, and its precarious situation with climate change. As a deep-thinking humanitarian, time and again Sculthorpe stressed the point that these all need our protection and preservation.

His preoccupation with the vulnerability of the

Sculthorpe began composing at the start of 1938 after his first piano lesson aged nine. He first came to international attention with his Sonatina for Piano, composed in 1954 and premiered at the 1955 ISCM Festival in Baden-Baden. The following year saw the first of his Irkanda series of evocations of the great Australian outback. Since then, each decade of Sculthorpe’s composing life was distinguished by notable works published exclusively by Faber Music.

In his thirties (1959-1969) Early masterworks - the strongly Australian identified Irkanda IV and the orchestral Sun Music series and in chamber music the String Quartet No 6.

SYDNEY EISTEDDFOD MCDONALD’S OPERATIC ARIA

81-YEARS OLD AND BETTER THAN EVER

On 21 September, the 2014 Sydney Eisteddfod will end with the staging of its most prestigious event in The Concourse Concert Hall, Chatswood. Ever since the annual festival began in 1933, the Operatic Aria contest has been the jewel in its crown. Today, it carries a total prize purse of $57,000 and as the Sydney Eisteddfod McDonald’s Operatic Aria, it continues to hold pride of place in the annual festival program.

McDonald’s Australia has been generously sponsoring this event since 1988. It takes great pride in the talent it attracts, and although other opera competitions are held in Australia each year, for sentimental reasons “Macca’s” as it is affectionately known, is the event every budding opera star dreams of winning.

Its history is laden with inspiration, and as the competition that launched Dame Joan Sutherland’s career, its name commands such respect in world opera circles that it provides an excellent reference for the singers who rise annually from its platform.

When plans for the first Operatic Aria contest were laid in 1933, organisers ruled that entrants must pass through a series of tests before judges of the highest standing. As this practice continues today, the finalists are not chosen until the adjudicators have heard them sing four different arias. Through this careful selection process, the final presentation shapes as a program of magnificent singing that opera loving audiences are bound to remember for years.

While every finalist hopes to claim the top prize, those who miss at Sydney Eisteddfod, often emerge so newly confident, they soon triumph in another competition. One of the first singers

to accomplish this feat was Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who within two weeks of finishing second in the Sydney Sun Aria in 1965, scored a monumental victory in the Melbourne Sun Aria.

As operatic voices mature over time, the Sydney Eisteddfod McDonald’s Operatic Aria is usually awarded to a singer whom the adjudicators consider ripe for advanced pre-professional training. A standout among recent successes is the Samoan-born, New Zealand-bred tenor Darren Pene Pati. When Pati competed in 2010, maestro Richard Bonynge described him as “a young tenor with a voice from the gods,” but added that he was not yet ready for the prize.

Inspired by the maestro’s words, he worked hard and returned to Sydney 2011 to claim the scholarship. Since then, Pati, who is often likened to the young Pavarotti, has studied extensively with Dennis O’Neill at the Wales International Academy of Voice and completed the Merola program with the San Francisco Opera. Last year, he was awarded the San Francisco Opera Center Adler Fellowship, but for the moment, with his younger brother Amitai and cousin Moses Mackay, he is busy promoting his debut album Sol3 Mio that Universal Music New Zealand released to great success in 2013.

New Zealanders have always performed well in this competition, and last year amid Sydney Eisteddfod’s 80th Anniversary celebrations, they claimed the first and second prizes. The 2013 winner Amina Edris is using her prize to study abroad, while Aucklander James Ioelu, who finished runner-up, will sing again in this year’s final.

Other recent successes include Stacey Alleaume who topped her victory in the 2012 Sydney Eisteddfod McDonald’s Aria with a win in the

Lucinda-Mirikata Deacon, Ashlyn Tymms, Maximillian Riebl, James Ioelu, Tabatha McFadyen, Sylvie Humphries, Agnes Sarkis and Amanda Windred

2013 Herald-Sun Aria. After finishing second to Alleaume, Lauren Fagan continued her studies at the Guildhall School of Music in London and is now living the dream as a member of the Jette Parker Young Artists Program at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Baritone Samuel Johnson, who sang in the same final, and tenor Samuel Sakker, another former Sydney Eisteddfod champion, are also members of this program.

This year, following the semi final on 27 July, adjudicators Margaret Baker-Genovesi and Peter Coleman-Wright named the eight singers who will compete in the final on 21 September.

The finalists, Lucinda-Mirikata Deacon, Sylvie Humphries, James Ioelu, Tabatha McFadyen, Maximilian Riebl, Agnes Sarkis, Ashlyn Tymms and Amanda Windred all have wonderful voices and are now proudly preparing for the big event.

At the final, bass baritone Daniel Sumegi, who won the Sydney Eisteddfod McDonald’s Aria in 1989, will assist the panel in making the final decision, and for one fortunate singer, the dream will come true.

Ever since the Sydney Eisteddfod began, the final of the Operatic Aria has taken place in Sydney Town Hall, Sydney Opera House or the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. This year, it is making its debut in the splendid Concourse Concert Hall at Chatswood, a venue that is rapidly gaining reputation as the city’s finest.

PIANIST MARINA YAKHLAKOVA MYSTERY AND A DEEP SOUL

Do you know Daniil Trifonov? A question I soon find out Marina Yakhlakova is plagued with when travelling the globe, but does not seem to mind. “Yes, of course”, replies the first prizewinner of the most recent Franz Liszt International Piano Competition in Weimar/ Bayreuth. “Dan and I were in the same year together from childhood at the Gnessin School of Music in Moscow.” But it is here where their paths separated.

Where Tchaikovsky winner Trifonov left Russia for the United States, Marina instead chose the Moscow Conservatory where she studied with Alexander Strukov and recently graduated with the Red Certificate, the school’s highest honour for artistic and academic excellence. It is also with great pride she shares the fact that she, her teacher and his teacher Lev Vlassenko, all won international piano competitions dedicated to the namesake of Franz Liszt.

“

“…she has a very deep soul

In a recent interview, renowned FrenchCanadian pianist Louis Lortie said, “There is something very mysterious about her; she has a very deep soul. It is a bit like the feeling I get when I hear Gergiev playing with the orchestra, this incredible magma of sound.”

For Yakhlakova however, being Russian is just what she is - an ordinary Moscow girl with an insatiable desire to travel the world and perform. But one gets the feeling that she still has somewhere to go, and more importantly, somewhere to take us. In many ways, she is the antithesis of Yuja Wang; both equally stunning but in completely different ways.

“It was quite by accident that we discovered her,” shares Pasquale Simonetti, Director of the Master Performers label on which she records. “Upon hearing the YouTube video of her Schubert/Liszt’s Erlkönig from the Liszt competition in a Facebook newsfeed, we just had to work with her, and it was only a matter of a few short weeks before she and her mother boarded a plane for Australia. I have never seen a musician so eager to get started and with

such a large repertoire ready to choose from.

She took us completely by surprise, but we all felt, why not get her before a major label does.

A decision we have not lived to regret.”

complete takes of the program, there will be no patches, so no wrong notes! As such, it was very exhausting, both mentally as well as physically.”

It is also the reason Master Performers has invested so heavily in film equipment to complement their fleet of Steinway concert grands and state of the art sound facilities.

“Discovering Marina in this fashion really demonstrated to us the power of film and the need to exploit this medium for the good of the classical music industry, both here in Australia and internationally.” As well as working on individual film projects with major international artists such as Yakhlakova, the Brisbane-based Master Performers - Australia’s youngest label - has formed partnerships with 4MBS, The Queensland Conservatorium, the Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

What would you do differently if you could?

I ask. “My Wardrobe”, she answers coyly. “Of course, there might be little things I might have changed musically if we approached the recording differently, but it is honest and I am very proud of that.”

Yakhlakova’s latest DVD, launched in Paris in June was commissioned by French Bank, Lazard Frères Gestion and filmed by the Australian recording team in the United States at the luxurious Mechanics Hall in Worcester Massachusetts. Ranked as one of the finest venues in the world, both acoustically and aesthetically, it has routinely attracted the most prestigious record labels.

“

Yet, Yakhlakova has never had to rely on the Russian brand or school to sell or establish herself as a pianist; she simply has not needed to with her pianism being of such transcendent quality, that she has developed somewhat of a cult following of fans who are looking for that magical trait which appears to be so rare on the current world platform, regardless of nationality or schooling.

“In filming, the director’s instructions were clear,” Yakhlakova recalls. “You get three

Soon after her recording, Yakhlakova made her way to Australia where she gave two sensational performances of Saint-Saens’ Second Piano Concerto with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. QSO Director of Artistic Planning, Richard Wenn said of her: “What we find in Marina is a complete artistic talent.

Behind her seemingly delicate and childlike persona lurks a demonic pianist of the utmost stamina and technical facility, yet somehow she is able to couple this with the most tender lyricism.” As a result of this success, Yakhlakova will again join forces with the orchestra, this time under Maestro Edvard Tchivzhel to make a concerto CD. With over 20 piano concertos in her fingers, one can only anticipate what this program might include.

Flashback with Derek Parker ARE THEY THE SAME AT ‘OME?

and Italian, an unseen short story and - an intelligence test. A board of BBC men including senior announcers listened carefully behind locked doors. So fair were the auditions that at one meeting the chairman gloomily remarked, “Well, gentlemen, you have just failed the son of the chairman of the Board of Governors.”

The story goes that the first woman to broadcast on the newfangled radio, in 1920, was Australian - no prizes offered: of course, Dame Nellie Melba. Alas, in fact she was beaten to the microphone by a Miss W. Sayers, a sturdy soprano who somewhat bad-temperedly referred to the broadcasts as “these Punchand-Judy shows”.

They were both introduced, as the daily broadcasts went out from an ex-army hut next to the Marconi laboratories at Writtle, near Chelmsford in England, by the very first radio announcer - Col. P. P. Eckersley, one of the Marconi engineers. “This is Two Emma Toc, Writtle testing, Writtle testing . . .” he would say, then go on to introduce, perhaps, a short play in which all the parts were played by members of the staff - electricians, engineers, secretaries et al.

2MT in time became 2LO, the immediate precursor of the BBC, and Col. Eckersley was replaced by the first professional announcers, faced by the formidable “meatsafe” microphones of the time - the RoundSykes Magnetophones, to give them their proper title, slung in sponge rubber mounted in a square wooden frame covered with silk, wheeled about on a sturdy tripod, and containing a magnet strong enough to stop any watch brought near them. They were in some respects over-sensitive: a nearby notice in Gothic type announced that If you cough or rustle your papers, you will deafen millions of listeners.

At first announcers wore evening dress after seven o’clock in the evening - the chief announcer, Stuart Hibberd “always thought it right and proper that announcers should wear evening dress on duty”. The fact that the engineers occasionally had to warn him that his starched shirt-front was creaking during the news bulletin may have contributed to the practise being discontinued. But announcing was a solemn business - not least because the announcers were expected to play a prominent part in the broadcast prayers which closed the day’s radio on Sunday evenings. At first, the duty announcer simply read a few verses from the Old or New Testament; later, a hymn, psalm or sacred song was added, and the London Station Director, Rex Palmer, would render Abide with Me or Nearer, my God, to Thee.

Several announcers were competent singers:

Dame Nellie Melba

Alvar Lidell was a keen lieder-singer (and dartsplayer) and his colleague Frank Phillips had sung at Bach Choir and Royal Choral Society concerts.

Details of The Epilogue were published in Radio Times - leading to the splendid announcement a cutting of which Stuart Hibberd carried around in his pocket-book for years: 10.30 p.m. The Epilogue.

The Commandments.

“Thou shalt not commit adultery”.

(For details see page 140).

Announcers had a very real responsibility for the successful running of the BBC. They were, in the early days, solely responsible for ensuring that the advertised programs were broadcast to a proper timetable, and timing was important: the Greenwich time-signal was broadcast compulsorily once a day by 2LO at 6.30 p.m., and Big Ben once a day, at noon.

There were other time-checks from time to time, and announcers were responsible for getting programs safely off the air in time for these. One pianist, Hershel Henlea, was notorious for always over-running her allotted time: announcers simply faded her out, and she went on playing Bach to herself in the studio, unaware that the world outside was by then listening to Jack Payne and his band.

Auditions for announcers were tough. There was a forty-five minute test at the microphone, with news reading, readings of prose and verse, an imaginary emergency with which the candidate had to deal, the announcement of orchestral programs with the names of foreign composers, works and conductors to pronounce, sample texts in German, French

Announcers of course made occasional slips, some unavoidable. One evening after Alvar Liddell had read the news, someone telephoned the BBC to ask “What was that about the Navy wanting more fish and chips?” He looked up the script and found that in a Parliamentary report a speaker had said, “What the Navy needs is not more ships, but more efficient ships.” Lionel Marson once quoted a Minister in the House of Commons as stating that he had been “completely muzzled” by another member of the House. The word of course was “misled”. One announcer innocently read out an announcement promising a performance of Holst’s ballet music The Perfect Foot - a typist not knowing her ‘l’ from her ‘t’. Sometimes the program planners courted trouble: Stuart Hibberd announcing a performance of three madrigals, in February 1928, found himself saying: “In Going to my Naked Bed, Fair Phyllis I saw, To Shorten Winter’s Sadness.”

BBC announcers were anonymous until the second world war, and there was of course a lot of speculation about their real personalities and private lives - speculations Eric Maschwitz satirised in a song written for a BBC party and sung by a BBC charwoman: “Do announcers make good husbands?

Do they gamble, drink or swear?

Or linger outside Selfridges Staring ‘ard at underwear?

Oh, ‘andsome is as ‘andsome does, the proverb might be right, A man may be a wrong ‘un, though ‘is accent may be right, If ‘e leaves ‘is teeth in Milton on the lino overnight . . .

Oh, are they the same at ‘ome?”

I can’t comment on the home life of Fine Music announcers: but the intelligence test at Chandos Street is frightening.

THE DISTINGUISHED LARRY SITSKY

PROGRESSIVE, INNOVATIVE, CONTROVERSIAL One noteworthy excursion during Sitsky’s journey arose from a grant from the Myer Foundation in 1965. This enabled him to research, in depth, Busoni’s music, on which he subsequently wrote definitively. His research and his personal performance repertoire have covered widely diverse fields, from the music of Rubinstein and various repressed Russian avant-garde composers, to various earlier 20th century Australian writers, with many of his publications on these topics becoming standard texts. Always the innovative performer, some of his recording projects also have focused on Australian composers, one of whom was the prolific and popular, Roy Agnew. Sitsky’s own works can be found in numerous collections released on labels such as ABC Classics, Tall Poppies, Wirripang and Jade; and his extensive output includes operas, concertos, orchestral, vocal and choral repertoire.

Fine Music presenter, programmer and eminent retired conductor, Patrick Thomas AM MBE pays tribute to one of the country’s most admired music identities - Larry Sitsky AM. If one name comes to mind on Australia’s music scene, when progressive, innovative, and at times controversial ideas are debated in the public arena, chances are it may be Larry Sitsky’s. In any event, the name Sitsky should not to be taken lightly, as it signals someone of high personal intellect, reasoned judgement and proven personal achievement across the widest range of musical, academic and professional activity. This month he celebrates his 80th birthday, after a lifetime as one of this country’s most distinguished composers, pianists and music educators. Born to RussianJewish parents on 10 September 1934, in what was then the Chinese city of Tientsin, Sitsky soon showed prodigious musical talent and, having moved with his family to Sydney in 1951, his University studies began, firstly in Engineering. Persuading his parents of his passion for music, he secured a scholarship to the New South Wales State Conservatorium of Music under Sir Eugene Goossens, where he studied composition and also piano, under two legends, Alexander Sverjensky and Winifred Burston, who had been a student of two pianistic ‘greats’, Ferruccio Busoni and Egon Petri. Having graduated from the “Con”, Larry Sitsky gained a scholarship to the San Francisco Conservatory for advanced studies with Egon Petri, who would remain one of his life-long influences. Interestingly, German-born Petri’s own mentors had included Paderewski and Busoni; whilst another celebrated Petri pupil was the seriously excellent pianist and keyboard humourist, Victor Borge.

Returning to Australia, Sitsky joined the staff of the Queensland Conservatorium, having being accepted, sight unseen, following Petri’s glowing recommendation. It was at this time that I came to know Larry personally and we first collaborated as artists. Midst his many other activities, Larry was pianist in a trio I formed in Brisbane, titled the Tallis Woodwind Trio (flute, oboe and piano), which performed new music as well as the established repertoire.

In 1963 a concert took place at the Queensland Conservatorium where Larry, as head of its Piano Department and ever the progressivist, put together a program of three Concertos 12

for Piano, including Bach’s E Major; Falla’s Harpsichord; and another by the American composer, Roy Harris. He invited me to conduct what was actually my first public concert with both a professional soloist and players (all drawn from the Queensland Symphony Orchestra). For me, this evening rapidly led to career changes in the direction of the rostrum! Also in 1963, Larry and I recorded an LP of 20th Century Flute and Piano Music for the Recording Society of Australia’s “Brolga” label.

A major new work featured on this disc was Larry Sitsky’s “Sonata for Unaccompanied Flute”, plus repertoire by Faure, Honegger, and the Americans, Howard Hanson and Walter Piston.

Over the years since then, having conducted many of Larry’s works - choral, orchestral, including his Clarinet Concerto, and the ABCTV soundtrack of his opera “The Fall of the House of Usher”, I can say that his works work! what’s more, they often extend the boundaries of texture, depth and technique that stimulate performers with fresh ideas and concepts.

Larry Sitsky’s present status as Emeritus Professor at Australian National University in Canberra culminates a lifetime of service to music and the arts. Having left Brisbane, he joined the staff of the newly inaugurated Canberra School of Music, becoming Head of Keyboard Studies in 1966; and later its Head of Musicology and also Head of Composition.

As a composer, Larry Sitsky has at times changed his musical language, and expressed himself in ways not widely familiar. He also has made the point that, where possible, composers should perform too, thus completing the connection between composer and audience.

There’s little doubt that from Larry Sitsky’s inherent, broadly based brilliance, his Russian heritage and early Chinese environment, has evolved a rich fusion of international piano techniques and traditions. Still domiciled in Australia’s national capital with his talented wife, Magda, he continues his busy activities as composer, pianist, and mentor to advanced music students. His personal oeuvre continues to expand with ever more thought-provoking and exciting works.

During his career, Sitsky has received numerous accolades and honours as composer, virtuoso pianist, teacher and researcher, with such awards as the Alfred Hill Memorial Prize; the A. H. Maggs Award (granted twice, in fact); the inaugural Australian Composer’s Fellowship, presented by the Australia Council; and the first National Critics’ Award. A Member of the Order of Australia, he has also received an Advance Australia Award, as well as cultural ambassadorships to the USA, China and Russia.

So now, Larry, on behalf of your many admirers at “Fine Music 102.5”, a Happy 80th Birthday year and a great many more of good health and creativity.

SEGOVIA: AN ITALIAN HOMAGE Fine Music presenter Sue McCreadie talks to guitarist Ermanno Brignolo about recording the entire Segovia archive, and his upcoming Sydney concert.

Andrés Segovia once complained that the lack of reviews for one of his Parisian concerts was due to the fact that the reviewers were all composers whose works he had failed to play.

“It’s true he didn’t play a lot of them, but he didn’t throw them away. That’s important,” says guitarist Ermanno Brignolo, whose upcoming Sydney concert is devoted to works written for Segovia by Italian composers.

Brignolo decided some years ago that he wanted to record the whole Segovia archive. At the time his good friend and teacher, Angelo Gilardino, queried whether he was mad. “You would need to climb mountains to do that,” he had cautioned. Mountain climbing isn’t listed among younger Italian’s hobbies - just bike, volley and “the theory of numbers”.

But undaunted, he started with a formidable, if little known, four-movement sonata by Ettore Desderi, a composer born in his own hometown of Asti. Over the space of two years he went on to record forty works. His seven CD set entitled The Andrés Segovia Archive was released by Brilliant Classics last year. Italian works occupy two of the CDs. Brignolo recently migrated to Australia with his actress wife Antonella Minarelli. Sydney audiences can hear the Desderi work in October, along with other Italian works dedicated to Segovia.

to comply - though there were plenty of lively exchanges of opinion.”

The program’s lesser known works include tributes to Segovia by Gilardino and by the legendary guitarist Ida Presti.

Brignolo grew up in northern Italy, graduating with honours from the Conservatorium of Novaro. Along the way he also studied mechanical engineering, became a sound engineer and built a recording studio. While working on the studio’s ceiling he sustained an injury that accounts for his unorthodox playing position - upright, cello style. “I badly damaged a shoulder ligament. So the choice was either surgery that would have put me out of action for ages or finding a different position”.

His introduction to Gilardino - a prominent composer, guitarist and scholar - came not through a conservatorium of music but, in keeping with the digital age, through the Internet. “I was on the Italian Forum site for classical guitar and discovered Gilardino was writing under an alias. I offered to fix a sound problem for him and used the opportunity to ask for lessons.” The friendship grew.

In 2001, four years after Segovia’s death, his widow Emelia entrusted Gilardino with several sealed crates containing scores, many assumed lost when Segovia’s Barcelona house burnt to the ground during the Spanish Civil War. Segovia reportedly escaped with his wife and daughter in a laundry truck after grabbing

only a few dresses and a guitar, but an unclein-law had rescued the scores. The opening of the crates caused a flurry of excitement in the guitar world.

When Brignolo came to record the archive, the fact that Segovia hadn’t played many of the works was not an obstacle: “I wanted to find my own way rather than emulate Segovia’s playing. And where they had been recorded I didn’t listen to other players. I could appreciate later how they had made different choices.”

Brignolo has continued with a busy recording career, recently releasing a complete recording of Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Platero and I for guitar and spoken voice, narrated in Italian and English by Antonella Minarelli.

Meanwhile, the reviews of his seven CD recording of the Segovia archives have been enthusiastic, describing it variously as “a cornerstone in the guitar recordings” and “one of the best records in the last thirty years”. If the project meant climbing a few mountains, the plaudits suggest they were worth climbing.

- Sue McCreadie Ermanno Brignolo performs “Segovia: an Italian Homage” at the Glebe Town Hall on 11 October 7.30pm. www.classicalguitarsydney.org Sue McCreadie presents the Classical Guitar Society program on Fine Music 102.5 at 6pm on the first Sunday of the month.

“I wanted to do the program because Segovia was so fond of Italy” Brignolo says. “He taught for many years at Siena and lots of Italian composers wrote for him. And, of course, because I too am Italian!”

Taking pride of place in the program is Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, who Brignolo cites as “one of the most important composers for guitar in the Segovia era.” The chosen pieces are well known in guitar circles: Cappriccio diabolico, Tarantella and Sonatina: Omaggio a Boccherini. But Segovia was notorious for taking liberties with the scores so the performance will rely on the recovered originals rather than on Segovia’s published editions. “A whole section of the Diabolico is missing from the Segovia edition and there are lots of bars missing from the Tarantella.”

Brignolo says. Works by composers such as Ponce and Mompou suffered a similar fate: “Segovia would propose ‘solutions’ and if the composers wanted things published they had

SOUVENIRS Piano Four Hands Satie, Brahms, Barber, Granados Tonya Lemoh and Cathrine Penderup Piano

✶✶✶✶✶ COPLAND - APPALACHIAN SPRING, EIGHT POEMS OF EMILY DICKINSON Emma Matthews, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Benjamin Northey MSO Live - ABC 4810863

✶✶✶✶

This MSO Live production features two very contrasting styles of the American composer Aaron Copland. The cyclic octet of eight poems by Emily Dickinson, set to music by Copland in 1949 explores the writer’s concerns with the finality of her own existence.

Copland’s accompaniments are sparse and light in formation with the focal point always directed inwardly towards the soloist. His foray into the twelve tone mode of composition is evident with the orchestral structure of the music lending itself towards a sharpness and bitterness that supports the poet’s intentions

Penderup and Lemoh team up to perform Satie’s Trois Morceau en Forme de Poire, Brahms’ Walzer op.39, works by Granados and six arrangements from Souvenirs, Barber’s Ballet Suite op.28.

It is said that in response to accusations of a lack of structure, Satie composed the work with the amusing title Three Pieces in the Form of a Pear.

I hope that that clarifies the title Forme de Poire?

Brahms composed his sixteen Waltzes op.39 in 1865 and within these miniature gems he creates his characteristic breadth and depth of harmonic richness.

Enrique Granados is one of Spain’s greatest pianist-composers. In the work En l’Aldea, he reveals his musical trademark, the nightingale, making its first appearance in this early

composition in the form of extended trills, plaintive chords and some quasi-improvised style.

The melodic writing throughout is charming.

Samuel Barber said of himself, “I’m writing music for words, then I immerse myself in those words, and I let the music flow out of them.” In 1952 he was commissioned to orchestrate some of the movements of Souvenirs, until then a piano duet. The suite included a waltz, schottische, pas de deux, two-step, hesitation-tango and gallop - altogether a very successful collaboration.

The four composers don’t often get a combined airing but it all works very well and the capable hands of the two pianists produce a very satisfactory late stylistic Romantic effect.

- Emyr Evans

of her work being treated holistically rather than as a series of independent ideas. Seventime Helpmann Award winner Emma Matthews achieves a steadiness in her delivery that provides a sense of colour and clarity to a work that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.

Conductor Benjamin Northey provides a cohesive bond to a union between poet and composer where the composer found the musical voice of the poet.

The MSO then delivers a fine rendition of a suite for 13 instruments of Appalachian Spring.

This is a happy, breezy and quintessentially American work whose popularity has stood the test of time. This “highlights package” provides a snapshot into his thoughts and ideas from the ballet and his enduring thrust for melodic invention. The production brings out the eternal nationalistic qualities of one of America’s

most enduring composers. Very enjoyable!

TCHAIKOVSKY & GRIEG PIANO CONCERTOS Simon Tedeschi (Piano), Richard Bonynge (Conductor) The Queensland Orchestra ABC 481 0117

Tchaikovsky Concerto has been criticised for its lack of structural development, and it does seem more a natural outpouring of thematic ideas, particularly in the lengthy first movement, but what a showcase it is for the pianist who successfully carves a lasting impression of authority as one of Australia’s finest pianists. In the second movement, the woodwinds excel, except unfortunately 30 seconds from the movement’s end.

Equally a pianistic showcase is the popular Grieg Concerto, even if the tempo in the first movement is slower than most other recordings. It is indeed a very likeable account.

The tutti sections throughout capture the orchestral brilliance, and contrast so deliciously with the more lyrical moments from the piano.

- Barry Walmsley

✶✶✶✶

Two iconic piano concertos, well known to the musical cognoscenti, as well as to much of the public, perhaps needs some justification as to the need for another disc to the already long list of recordings available of these works.

The combination of powerful virtuosity and commanding personality of the pianist Simon Tedeschi, along with the masterful artistry of Maestro Bonynge, make this a compelling aural experience. From Tedeschi’s hands are found the greatest subtleties, as well as the gigantean assertiveness needed in much of the dramatic passages of both works. The 16

✶✶✶ This is the much anticipated recording by Teddy Tahu Rhodes of some of the most acclaimed of Gustav Mahler’s songs. It combines the five most popular Ruckert lieder, the five Kindertotenlieder that Mahler composed against his wife’s advice and a smattering of songs he wrote in his youthful years. I am afraid to have to admit that the album is a disappointment.

DESTINO MEXICANO Baroque Rhythms from the New World La Compañia, Danny Lucin, director La Compañia Records LCR 4632

✶✶✶✶

You may need to upgrade your headphones to do this one justice, as Carpenter darts from one extreme of his keyboard to the other, with everything in between and beyond.

And since this keyboard is attached to his very own organ (International Touring Organ no 8), he needs no excuse to demonstrate everything his stops can do. He does it by way of music originally composed by Johann Sebastian, with a bit of Bernstein, some Rachmaninov, Piazzolla, Dupré and Scriabin, not to mention Carpenter’s own work and hints of others. One way or another, if you like a CD with lots of variety, this one should do, even if it is all played on that organ which is like a home-made Wurlitzer with

of Rhodes’ calibre and he should have left the repertoire well alone. When he is not reaching awkwardly for the high notes he lapses into a falsetto that is not at all convincing. This occurs much too often in the Kindertotenlieder and it detracts from the beauty and pathos of the songs. Plus there is some very uneven support from both the Tasmanian Symphony and repetiteur Kimmorley. The former plays far too loudly and at times the vocal line is lost whilst Kimmorley is uncharacteristically unsupportive of the singer and plays some very harsh unsympathetic sounds. Rhodes does manage to produce some very stentorian and beautiful sounds on many an occasion but somehow one can’t get away from the thought that this Mahler is a bridge too far for him. Oh and be advised that the track

Music of the 16th century acquires a new sound for listeners attuned to Baroque and Renaissance music of European origin in the latest recording by La Compañia, an ensemble based in Australia whose spiritual home lies far away, in the New Worlds of America and Mexico. It is a world described musically in songs and dances, in religious reflections and rural ruminations, such as the 15 examples recorded here, all but half of them ascribed to composer Gaspar Fernandes, obviously a leading light of his time. The nine musicians and two singers named in the ensemble use their sackbuts, dulcians, voices, whatever, to create sounds that should be comfortable for Baroque music fans, and if the New

all the bass but less of the seaside. Being a canny chap, Carpenter has fixed it so that he obtains organ sounds extracted digitally from anywhere and just about everywhere, so he can incorporate the effects created thousands of miles away into his own playing.

Not bad, and if your ears are up to it you will have to give it to Carpenter: this really is impressive. Not so easy to warm to: the Mohican haircut, yawn, been there, seen it; the singlet-clad torso, you in there, Chesty. None of that affects your ears, give them a workout, hear how your headphones cope with such powerful acoustics, and wonder how impressed Johann Sebastian might have been.

World is not entirely familiar territory to start with, it is easy enough to get used to. The CD comes with a very helpful booklet, which describes the historic background to these works, explains all the tracks and includes the words to all the songs, an excellent read even as you are getting used to how it all sounds. The musicianship is everything you would expect, and all in all this is a superbly executed and produced revelation for anyone not accustomed to music La Compañiastyle, who would like to hear more of it.

GRAEME BELL: A COMPILATION OF RECORDED COMPOSITIONS 1947-2007 Newmarket NEW3254.2

✶✶✶✶

As this is the month we celebrate the centenary of the birth (September 7, 1914) of Graeme Bell, the father of Australian jazz, this retrospective two-CD set is a good place as any to start. Not only are the pianist and bandleader’s talents as a composer showcased - including his first composition The Lizard - but there are also tracks by his early groups from the early 1940s and 1950s.

Despite the rhythm section swinging like a lead balloon, there is a unique freshness about their music in the 1940s because of the repertoire, Bell’s piano playing and an adventurous front line. They are credited with turning listeners to

FROM THE BEGINNING Scott Hamilton Concord Jazz CCD2-2117-2

✶✶✶✶

Some regarded the 22-year-old tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton as an anachronism when he arrived in New York in 1976 because of a sound that was hardly in style. Unlike so many others he was not inspired by John Coltrane. His roots were in the long line of swing tenor giants, such as Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins, leading to Zoot Sims; musical royalty in any language. But others claimed he had saved the instrument from tonal torture, his sound reminding listeners of its beauty at a time when honking, squeaking and caterwauling were becoming the disorder of the day. Critic Leonard Feather described him as “a good wind who is blowing us no ill”; it would become the title of his first album recorded in 1977 which with a second (Scott Hamilton 2)

Stephane Grappelli was once asked why he never recorded the latest music but stayed with the standards - the great violinist replied: “For three hundred years classical music has been Schubert, Brahms, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. Today’s classical composers are Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin.

Three hundred years from now the music will still be played.” Only a few days after shaking my head in despair as a friend praised rock “star” Rod Stewart’s unfortunate dalliances with the Great American Songbook, I received this album, sub-titled “Vintage love songs of Peggy 18

dancers as the crowds flocked to hear them An important historical document, it emphasises during their residency at the Leicester Square Bell’s status in Australian music as one of our Jazz Club in London. It would lead to the trad true jazz greats. boom a decade later. However, my preference is for the all star groups Bell led from the 1960s onwards especially the one with a front line of Bob Barnard (trumpet), Johnny McCarthy (reeds) and trombonist Ken Herron who Bell told me was the finest musician to ever play with one of his bands. (Herron died tragically at the age of 46). Some of the finest talents in Australian traditional and mainstream jazz interpret Bell’s music including that drummer for all genres, Allan Browne, and the multitalented Stephen Grant who is not only heard on trumpet but at the piano putting his stamp on Is He Here Yet? and Steppng On Two Paths

recorded the following year, make up this double CD reissue. It is worth noting that Hamilton was a toddler when Ornette Coleman recorded his first albums for the Atlantic label; nine when The Beatles came to fame; and a teenager when Archie Shepp and Albert Ayler split jazz with their “new thing”. Even at such an early age, Hamilton appears quite at home with the swing style; his sound is warm and he plays with assurance. It all sounds so right and unforced. Even then he was developing his own style as shown here in company with some of these musicians old enough to be his father - pianist Nat Peirce and drummer Jake Hanna. We should be thankful Hamilton has continued to follow his muse.

Lee, June Christy and Julie London”. An album of this quality restores one’s faith in the future of fine music. I can’t praise this album highly enough. This is a voice to savour. Melbournebased Hetty Kate is backed by four of the city’s best jazz musicians in a program which includes some of the finest examples of the best of Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart and Hoagy Carmichael. This stellar quartet, pianist Sam Keevers - his exemplary playing deserves the highest praise - guitarist James Sherlock, bassist Ben Robertson and drummer Danny Farugua, provides the perfect platform as Kate, relaxed and melodic, puts her own stamp on these venerable standards, especially the ballads. The matching of her emotional shadings and Sherlock’s guitar adds a dreamy

hope to Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.

This and one of Porter’s most lovely melodies, In The Still Of The Night, are something special in an outstanding album.

SWINGING ON THE VINE THE SWINGING RIDDLE

“You and your smile hold a strange fascination, Somehow it seems we’ve shared our dreams but when, Time after time in a room full of strangers, Suddenly you are there wherever I go.“ This is the emotionally-charged voice of a woman in love singing Paul Francis Webster’s lyrics to Polish-born composer Bronislaw Kaper’s theme from the 1952 film Invitation. The singer is Rosemary Clooney and the arranger Nelson Riddle who understood the backing her voice needed with its subtle phrasing and inflection. She in turn knew how to fit her voice to his arrangements.

I lean back in bliss lost in the music as I take a sip from a glass of red wine from a bottle presented to me by my insufferable brother-inlaw Clifford who claimed it’s a special vintage.

My throat catches the sour, vinegary taste of an aged rough red. Coughing and spluttering I curse this bounder and cad before pouring the contents of the bottle into the bowl of a snoring Big J who lazily opens one eye. He may be an alcoholic but this is a pig of class: he takes one sniff, overturns the bowl with his snout then looks at me expectantly as I retrieve a bottle from the cellar here in my Hunter Valley hideaway. My glass replenished and Big J’s bowl full I once again lose myself in the music.

“You’re the glow of temptation, Glancing my way in the grey of the dawn, And always your eyes smile that strange invitation, When you have gone . . . where oh where have you gone?”

The singer, then only 32, was in the middle of a hopeless love affair with Riddle - they were both married - a period she would later describe as “the best blending of my job and personal life that I ever had”. This on-again off-again affair would break her heart and end both their marriages.

The intensity of her love for Riddle is shown on some of the unforgettable heart-rending vocals on the album from which Invitation comes. It was called Love and recorded for the RCA Victor label in 1960. On it she plumbs the depths of bliss and sorrow, mostly the latter; it takes only a few bars of How Will I Remember You to realise here is a heartbroken woman pouring her emotion into a song.

The album was a follow-up to Rosie Solves’ The Swinging Riddle recorded in the same year but executives at the record company claimed they didn’t like it and refused to release it. But this was a time when RCA Victor was cutting back on recording new jazz albums. Frank Sinatra knew better! He bought the master takes from

Nelson Riddle and Frank Sinatra reviewing a score (1956)

RCA Victor for his own label Reprise when signing Clooney in 1963. A beautiful, haunting recording with Clooney’s voice nestling emotionally in Riddle’s velvet arrangements it remains her finest album.

Riddle’s genius was his ability to construct intricate instrumental textures and delicately combine them with a swinging big band beat.

To establish the mood of a song, Riddle would pair a bass clarinet with a baritone saxophone and B-3 Hammond organ with a flute. This and other instrumental collages were a joy to the ear. Riddle’s charts sound so simple but it is almost impossible to decipher the instrumentation used. It’s no wonder the best singers of the 1950s and beyond loved his arrangements, especially his swinging ballads, as personified by Frank Sinatra, where they would include strings, traditionally associated with ballads, and the patented Riddle “burping bones (trombones)” and other brass figures.

To quote Riddle: “In working out an arrangement, I look for the peak of a song and build on it. We’re telling a story. It has to have a beginning, a middle, a climax and an ending.”

In 1959 when jazz impresario Norman Granz began planning the fifth of his Ella Fitzgerald songbooks for his Verve label, the music of George and Ira Gershwin, he knew it would have to be something special. The best-selling vocalists Sarah Vaughan and Chris Connor had already recorded excellent tributes to Gershwin and Ella had recorded a superb, intimate eightsong album with the matchless pianist Ellis Larkins for the Decca label in 1950.

On the strength of his work with Sinatra and Nat King Cole - he had arranged Cole’s big hit

Mona Lisa - Riddle was considered to be in a class of his own. So Granz brought Riddle on to the proposed five-album project as musical director with the orders to make it an intimate spectacular by expanding then narrowing its focus to the numbers written only by the Gershwins, a move which delighted Ira. Not only was he was given equal billing with his brother - George had died suddenly of a brain tumour in 1937 - but also that Granz sought his approval. Each night after the 10 recording sessions between January and July in 1959 Granz would drop by Ira’s home with an acetate of the day’s work.

Sinatra’s championing of the songbook is interesting as he sang far fewer songs by the Gershwins than would be expected. They didn’t write what Sinatra called “saloon songs” in the style of Harold Arlen, Cole Porter or Lorenz Hart. Sinatra was at his best in the extremes of “sadness and elation” - Ella was at her best in the middle where most of the Gershwin songs are emotionally. Riddle and Ella underscored this middle-ness by making the happy songs a little less happy and the sad songs decidedly upbeat. Two examples: Oh Lady Be Good which Ella always treated as a swinger became the most sombre song of the set; the original upbeat air of How Long Has This Been Going On was transformed into a melancholy contemplation of love.

Ella and Riddle reinvented Gershwin for the age of the LP. The five-set album remains the greatest collection of the Gershwin’s music and a highlight of Ella’s illustrious career. It was also Ira Gershwin’s favourite album.

GRAEME BELL

AUSTRALIAN JAZZ GREAT (1914-2012) This month marks the centenary of the birth of Graeme Bell, Australian jazz pianist, composer, band leader and pioneer. Bell was always popular at home and he held a unique place in the hearts of jazz musicians and enthusiasts in Britain, Europe, China and Japan.

Graeme Emerson Bell born in Melbourne on 7 September 1914, studied classical piano as a child and came to jazz through his younger brother Roger. In 1935 they started a dance band playing at local functions until jazz became allimportant and they formed the Graeme Bell Jazz Gang in 1940. The group broke up at the onset of World War II and Graeme went to work for the American Red Cross Entertainment Unit in Queensland. After returning to Melbourne, Graeme again partnered with Roger, this time to form the Graeme Bell Dixieland Band which became a local leader in an emerging worldwide jazz revival.

After hosting the First Australian Jazz Convention in December 1946, Graeme Bell’s Dixieland Band was invited to attend a World Youth Festival in Prague in August 1947. The members left their day jobs and barnstormed through eastern Australia playing in concerts to raise money for the trip. When in Sydney, they combined a recording session with their farewell appearances.

The band, affectionately known as “The Bells”, sailed to London unaware of the impact they would have on jazz music in Europe, Britain and eventually the Australian jazz scene. They travelled through wartorn Europe to the Youth Festival, played concerts, engagements and recorded in Czechoslovakia for several months before arriving in London.

In Melbourne jazz was played for dancing so the Bells opened the Leicester Square Jazz Club with posters announcing “Dancing to the Hottest Band in Town”. The jazz purists were appalled, but university and art school students, shop assistants, office workers and off-duty musicians flocked to listen and dance to the sound of jazz music. The newly formed Humphrey Lyttelton Band filled in at the Leicester Square club and the London Jazz Club while the Bells were away on tour.

During this and a second tour overseas in 195052, the band adopted its Australian Jazz Band tag, recording under the name and forming lasting friendships. They toured England, Scotland, Wales, Eire, Belgium and West Germany. A highlight was a jazz concert at the Royal Festival Hall before Princess Elizabeth where the band met and spoke with HRH. Both European tours were great successes with standing ovations wherever they played, yet both were financial disasters, with band members forced to borrow for the fares home. Each time

on arrival they received enthusiastic publicity, ABC concert tours and recording sessions, however travelling took its toll and the group disbanded.

Graeme organised groups for jazz concerts, functions and clubs and in 1954 took a Combined Services Entertainment party to Korea and Japan for a five-month tour entertaining Australian, New Zealand, British and Canadian troops. After two years in Brisbane, he then moved to Sydney, where he remained. He backed talent quest artists, formed his popular Skiffle Gang, fronted The Graeme Bell Show on ABC TV, led the orchestra at the Sylvania Hotel, opened an art gallery, taught piano, was musical director at Andre’s nightclub and took a band to New Zealand with the Frank Ifield Show.

In 1962 Graeme Bell and His All Stars joined a new Australian jazz boom with a TV series, a residency at Sydney’s Chevron Hotel, a long recording contract and concerts at home and abroad. After a return to Sydney’s casual pub and club scene and revisits to Europe and Britain, Graeme took to running a theatrical agency. Following another jazz surge in 1972 he reformed the All Stars, and they recorded, performed in concert and on television and toured to jazz festivals in Europe and the UK, as well as mentoring a young Japanese band.

Graeme decided to slow down at the age of 85, but predictably this led to numerous appearances, the Graeme Bell Reunion Band and his 90th birthday tour. He was awarded an MBE in the 1973 New Year’s Commonwealth

Honours List, an Arts Council grant, and was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 1990. The Australian Jazz Bell Award (“The Bells”, inaugurated in 2003) to recognise and encourage excellence in Australian jazz was named to honour him, as was the annual Bell Jazz Lecture (1993-2014). He died at the age of 97 in June 2012.

September Program Highlights NOT OPERA Saturday 6 September 9.30am-11.30am This program’s title might make you think twice.

Jan Brown’s selection of music by famous opera composers demonstrates that their genius extends beyond opera to many other forms of music including quartets and symphonies.

Nineteenth century works by Donizetti, Bizet, Rossini, Verdi, Gluck and Offenbach are showcased. Of course, if you are still craving opera it might also be worth listening later on 6 September to a short program of gems in Opera Highlights at 5.30pm.

SUNDAY SPECIAL: SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS Sunday 7 September 2pm- 4pm

classical work. He also wrote film scores and his works have been adapted many times for use in film and television or, like Summertime, have become jazz standards played in many different versions. Porgy and Bess, which was not initially commercially successful, is now considered one of the most important American operas of the twentieth century. The program culminates in the Piano Concerto in F (1924), played by Peter O’Donohoe with the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, conducted

by Simon Rattle. In early 1935 Gershwin was performing this piano concerto with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra under Pierre Monteux when he showed signs of the brain tumour that was to kill him later that year at the age of 38. We can only muse upon the music he might have composed had he lived to a greater age.

IT’S THE FAIR SEASON Sunday 14 September 2pm-4pm The country fair is a great English and European tradition often depicted in music, traditional songs, poetry and literature. Fairs have been held over the ages to celebrate the seasons or festivals such as Christmas or other significant events in the lives of villages and towns and counties, on village greens and showgrounds and laneways.

Is September a more than usually fertile month for the birth of composers? Autumn in the northern hemisphere? Our programmer has played with the works of composers born in September to provide two hours of diverse and enjoyable music ranging from Henry Purcell born in England on 10 September in the seventeenth century through Johann Christian Bach in the eighteenth century, Anton Bruckner and Antonin Dvoˇrák in the nineteenth and a number of twentieth century compositions including those of Gustav Holst, George Gershwin and Dimitri Shostakovich. Selection of items according to the composer’s date of birth may seem arbitrary or fanciful but it is yet another way to delve into the CD library and draw out the richness of western music.

RHAPSODY IN GERSHWIN Tuesday 9 September 1pm-2.30pm For many of us, Gershwin’s compelling music is etched deeply into our musical memory and the wonderful and original music of Rhapsody in Blue, American in Paris and Porgy and Bess never fades. Gershwin was born in New York in 1898 of Russian and Lithuanian Jewish heritage.

He was both pianist and composer and song writer with a vast ability to move across classical and popular music in a distinctive and original voice. Rhapsody in Blue (1924) for orchestra and piano was his first successful 22

This program of mostly English composers, traditional music and performances brings together an eclectic choice from the seventeenth century and earlier and delights by bringing examples of this music, usually heard in isolation, together. From the compositions of Malcolm Arnold and Peter Maxwell Davis to a song by Purcell performed by Alfred Deller to traditional ballads such as Scarborough Fair played on guitar by John Williams, the program draws out the centrality of the fair in the pattern of country life and the pleasures of its celebrations. The final work, El parc d’atraccions (the fun fair) is by the Spanish composer, Manuel Blancafort, played by pianist Miquel Villalba.

EVENING WITH THE ORCHESTRA: MUSIC IN 20TH CENTURY FRANCE Thursday 18 September 8pm- 10pm This program of French orchestral music mostly from the first half of the twentieth century draws together the music of Stravinsky, Caplet, Dukas, Jolivet and Milhaud and ranges from ballet to trumpet and violin concertos. Early in the twentieth century there was a reaction to the “heavy” romantic music of Wagner and Strauss and the new music diversified into many different forms. Darius Milhaud was a leader in the new modernist music as was Stravinsky with his jazz influences and vivid rhythms and dance forms.

FEATURING ANNE-SOPHIE MUTTER Friday 26 September 2.30pm-4.00pm

An hour and a half of the superb violin of Anne-Sophie Mutter is a treat for the ears and senses. Mutter, born in Rheinfeld, West Germany in 1963 is one of the most significant classical violinists of our times. She started to learn piano at the age of five and violin shortly afterwards. Her talent was recognised early and by 13 she was playing with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Herbert von Karajan. She made her first recording at 15 and her American debut was with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in 1982. The much awarded Mutter delighted Sydney in her Australian debut with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in 2012 and return visit just over a year later.

ARMIDE: Mireille Delunsch, sop RENAUD: Charles Workman, ten GODDESS OF HATE: Ewa Podles, sop UBALDE: Brett Polegato, bass DANISH KNIGHT: Yann Beuron, ten Les Musiciens du Louvre/Marc Minkowski.

Archiv 459 616-2 2:19 During the First Crusade in 1098, the Christian knight Renaud is ensnared with magic spells by the enemy princess, Armide of Damascus.

As she raises her dagger to kill him, she finds herself falling in love with him and she casts a spell to make him return her love. Afterwards she cannot bear the thought that Renaud’s love is only the work of enchantment. She calls on the Goddess of Hate to restore her hatred for Renaud, but to no avail as she still loves him. The goddess condemns Armide to eternal love. Before Armide can return to Renaud, two Crusaders, Ubalde and the Danish Knight, reach Renaud and break Armide’s spell.

Renaud escapes and Armide is left enraged, despairing, and hopeless. She bids the Furies to destroy the enchanted palace and she perishes in the ruins (or according to the libretto, ‘departs in a flying car’).

Ernesto has refused to marry the bride chosen by his wealthy uncle Don Pasquale, as he loves a poor widow Norina. Don Pasquale disinherits him and Ernesto decides to leave Italy. Doctor Malatesta suggests that Pasquale marry his sister, who is Norina in disguise; his intention is to fool Pasquale. Once married by a fake notary, Norina starts bossing Pasquale and spending his money. Both he and Ernesto are wretched until Malatesta reveals the truth and Pasquale in relief reinstates Ernesto as heir and allows him to marry Norina.

Médée complains that Jason is deserting her for Créuse but offers a fine robe for the princess.

Jason has to decide whether his love for Créuse outweighs his gratitude to Médée because of her help in gaining the golden fleece. Créon pledges help to Médée, who must be exiled.

Jason and Oronte, united in love of Créuse, help him in battle with Corinth. Oronte promises to help Médée, who now plans revenge on Jason and Créuse. Through witchcraft she makes Créon mad; he kills Oronte and himself. Créuse dies in the poisoned robe Médée had given her.

Médée now confesses that she has killed her two children by Jason.
