THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT RACHEL PODGER EXPLAINS TO NICKY GLUCH to is the impressionability (in a good way) of youth. Thus, as Musica Viva epitomises, and Podger herself believes, it is crucial to expose young people to classical music, to grow with it rather than approach it as an unknown thing in adulthood.

It’s not only the youth of today who need inspiring. Mozart (although as a prodigy, his musical ‘adolescence’ came much earlier) was much affected by Haydn and Johann Christian Bach, their music woven into and developed in his.

An Age is often made by that which came before it. The liberal progress and revolution which characterised the Age of Enlightenment was made possible by the foundations laid in the rational Age of Reason. In a person’s life, the individuality which emerges in adolescence is a response to that which was sparked in childhood. In this way, adolescence becomes humanity’s own Age of Enlightenment and thus there is a fascination in investigating the insights of that period. Where these thoughts are brought into alignment is in the organisation Musica Viva. Not only does it bring chamber music to the many corners of Australia, but it also plays a crucial role in exposing school students to classical music.

In November Musica Viva will host a tour of Britain’s Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE). In this program the orchestra will be led by Rachel Podger who, in her own way, helps enlighten youth. She and her partner, Tim Cronin, run a foundation which helps fund music tuition for children in need. It is, however, her personal story which perhaps best outlines the ‘enlightening’ idea.

“I was at school in Germany,” she begins, “when I heard Musica Antique Köln and Reinhard Goebel play [Bach’s] Brandenburg Concertos Four and Five in a festival of Early Music in Kassel. I was playing baroque repertoire a fair bit (although on my modern regular violin) as a teenager at home and in various local ensembles at festivals etc. and 2

sang in three local choirs, so I was performing a lot”.

From this performing experience, Podger learnt to appreciate the rich and sonorous sound of gut strings, a differentiating characteristic between period and modern performance. It was this sound which grabbed her attention when she heard a recording of early Bach Cantatas, as she continues.

“I was listening to the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists under the direction of John Eliot Gardiner. The string sound … left me speechless and made me dream of wanting to try to do the same thing. It was that teenage ‘I wanna do that’ thing which then drove my whole life for a while! My violin teacher at the time in Kassel had other ideas though and wanted me to enter competitions and mostly play Wieniawski and Tchaikovsky violin repertoire. I loved that romantic and frilly, and at times sentimental music too, of course, and tried to live a ‘double life’ for a while.”

Podger’s path would be made when she picked up an actual baroque violin and started to learn the technique required. She concludes her story saying, “As the playing work came in and I started to play baroque chamber music and discover the vast violin sonata repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries, my modern violin stayed more and more in its case, watching.” Her path had been set in Kassel, even if she could never have realised it then. What Podger’s story points

”

These three Enlightenment composers will share the November concert program and in some ways this creates confusion for it has been a long time since the OAE just played music from this period. The orchestra’s name is now taken to represent an orchestra which seeks to enlighten. 30 years ago the rule book was ‘thrown out’ when it was decided that, having a single conductor and specialised repertoire, was too limiting. The orchestra’s concerts are promoted with bright colours and quirky ideas, and for the past decade it has performed a series of ‘Night Shift’ concerts; music placed in informal setting designed to attract a younger crowd. The best part is that it has been successful.

The orchestra’s name is now taken to represent an orchestra which seeks to enlighten

”

Mozart, then, makes a good poster boy for the OAE (and he is the eponymous ‘patron’ of Podger’s foundation as well). He, too, sought to redefine classical music. He was a maverick and a genius whose music tricks as much as it delights. In this, he is the eternal adolescent and so his music is best considered in light of that which came before.

The concert program will open with a symphony by Haydn. Before Haydn and Mozart were acquainted, the older man was music director at the Esterházy Court. Early in his time there, Haydn began to experiment with the Sturm und Drang (storm and drive) style. Podger explains how in this music ‘minor keys combine with pounding repeated rhythmic figurations and dark, well defined moods juxtapose with lighter serene themes in slow movements and lilting minuets’. Her expression captures this style well for it is music which stirs the humours.

Haydn’s 26th Symphony, Lamentatione, was written for the Easter Week of 1768. Thus the storm and stress are elevated to religious

heights. To contrast with the opening fury, Haydn incorporates a melody derived from an old plainsong chant of the Passion of Christ.

Audiences of the day would have been familiar with the tune and thus Haydn had cleverly found a way to merge the sacred with the secular.

The other symphony in the program is by Johann Christian Bach, J.S. Bach’s youngest son. He was known as the ‘London Bach’ due to his time spent in England and, as mentioned, for being a friend of Mozart (they met in London when Wolfgang was seven).

His Symphony in G minor, op 6 no 6 is perhaps even stormier than Haydn’s. The oboes and horns combine to give the opening an almost devilish edge. An energy runs through the piece and the slow second movement works only to increase the tension. All this comes to a head in the third movement, which uses delicacy to emphasise the heaviness of the subsequent unison chords.

”

Mozart ‘engages in high spirits, expresses wit, humour, beauty, tenderness and utter playfulness’

”

In these two works, Podger will assume the role of leader. Her fruitful collaborations with the OAE have come from the fact that she shares its views on leadership. To her leadership is something which is different in each setting and thus has to be gauged. “A lot of listening needs to be done in order to see what needs leading in the first place [both] musically of course, but also [as regards] the general mentality of an ensemble. Of course, an ensemble is made up of individuals who all might have different sets of ideas about all sorts of things, and depending on the history of the group, part of ‘leading’ a group is to recognise these and aim to combine them, so that the outcome is, as Aristotle put it, ‘The whole is greater than the sum of its parts’. I learn so much more than I expect when I direct an ensemble from the violin, and it’s always exhilarating!”

When it comes to the Mozart pieces, Podger will combine her role of leader with that of soloist. The OAE have decided to perform two of Mozart’s Violin Concertos, the first and the last, the fifth. In contrast to the two symphonies, the concertos are in major keys.

As Podger explains, in these works Mozart “… engages in high spirits, expresses wit, humour, beauty, tenderness and utter playfulness.

Even when there is a glimpse of melancholy in a second subject or in a slow movement, he is quick to entertain and divert with his next ingenious idea!”

Rachel Podger. Image credit Keith Saunders Mozart wrote the concertos between the ages of 17 and 20. He was a prodigy, sure, but he was also well taught and thirsted after all the ideas around him. Would his style have been as powerful if it had not come after Sturm und Drang? Only history knows but what is clear is that youth is (cheeky and) creative and often strives for something which those slightly older may not.

The interview is concluded by asking Podger what she looks to impart to her own students.

She hesitates: there is a lot one might say, but settles on saying that “… apart from giving students the information they need and imparting the knowledge I have on repertoire, playing technique, style and general musicianship, it’s vital to ‘read’ individuals and encourage and ‘lift’ what is already within them. Sometimes it’s enough to give guidance as youngsters often just need help to discover what lays beneath the surface of things, and most importantly which questions to ask.”

Everything then, must be built on something: teaching on the capabilities of the student; leading on the disposition of the orchestra.

Childhood gives way to adolescence and Rationality, so let’s see how Podger concludes. “The best moments,” she says, “are when a self realisation moment happens in a lesson and they hear something beautiful they just played. You can see it in their eyes as they light up at the realisation of something!”

Enlightenment through and through!

You’ll find the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment playing works by C.P.E. Bach, Handel, J.S. Bach and Haydn on 6, 8, 19 and 29 October.

EIN FESTE BURG MEG MATTHEWS CELEBRATES THE REFORMATION IN MUSIC

When I was at school, we were intrigued by our history textbook’s claim in reference to the Reformation, ‘Erasmus laid the egg and Luther hatched it’.

The egg was hatched 500 years ago, and the trigger for the Reformation occurred on 31 October 1517 when the Augustinian monk Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church, All Saints Wittenberg. It was a list of questions and propositions for debate. Luther penned this document attacking the Catholic Church’s corrupt practice of selling ‘indulgences’ to absolve sin. His 95 theses, propounded two central beliefs: that the Bible was the central religious authority; and that humans may reach salvation only by faith and not by deeds.

Martin Luther nailed them at a moment in history ripe for religious reformation. As a result, the Christian Church was ultimately and irrevocably divided, and the Protestantism which emerged was shaped, especially in German states, by Luther’s ideas. Fortunately for us, music played a significant part in his reforms. A Sunday Special programme Ein Feste Burg will focus on the musical outcomes of Luther’s priorities.

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a fine theologian but he was also a keen musician

and music lover. Two of his favourite composers (both Catholics) were Josquin Desprez (c14401521) and Ludwig Senfl (1486-1542) whose music he so much enjoyed singing. For Luther, music making, and in particular singing, became central to worship. To quote Carl F. Schalk in his little book Luther on Music: “No one spoke as clearly and forthrightly as Luther about the union of word and music to the end that God might be praised”.

He then quotes Luther as saying: “Thus it was not without reason that the fathers and prophets wanted nothing else to be associated as closely with the Word of God as music.

Therefore we have so many hymns and Psalms where message and music join, to move the listener’s soul. So Luther advocated that the musical forms of his day, Gregorian chant and polyphony, should be taught and sung in the churches, together with congregational hymns. The long term result was a flourishing tradition of church music possessing richness, simplicity and depth … choral music, organ music and congregational music.”

It is these traditions which we will explore in our Sunday Special program, Ein feste Burg, beginning with the hymn so much identified with Martin Luther. It is a congregational hymn for which he wrote both words and music, Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott or, in English, A mighty fortress is our God. Down through the centuries, this Lutheran hymn has been clothed with many varied vestments in arrangements for choirs, congregations, organ and orchestra.

For example, it is a significant theme in the finale of Mendelssohn’s Fifth Symphony subtitled The Reformation and is a Leitmotif in Meyerbeer’s opera Les Huguenots.

An emphasis on hymnody and hymn books is something for which Luther is particularly valued. At a time when Catholics relied more

on professionally trained choirs to lead the music of the liturgy, Luther came to believe in the importance of congregations of lay people participating actively by singing the liturgy. As he said ‘we all pray and sing and give thanks together’. To this end he wrote or re-arranged existing melodies to create chorales (Lutheran hymn tunes) and encouraged other musicians to do likewise.

Apart from Ein feste Burg, another chorale

by Luther still popular today is Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her, a multi versed Advent hymn which will be heard in more than one version in this Sunday Special. Luther also encouraged monks and nuns to leave their abbeys and one such nun became his wife, Katharina, with whom he had five children.

He was also a great advocate of singing psalms and hymns in the home, singing in what he called ‘my small, stupid tenor voice’.

Johann Walter (1496-1570) was a fellow Augustinian monk and composer who became a musical advisor to Luther. In his hymnal, entitled Glory and Praise of the Laudable Art of Music he developed a theology of music based on Luther’s ideas and it was Luther who wrote a poetic introduction to Walter’s collection of hymns.

Three mainstream composers in the next two centuries, also renowned for their secular music, gave Lutheran music an injection of excellence: Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) and Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and music by these three will be included in our program. Many of Bach’s relatives, two of his sons and a number of his pupils continued to consolidate this library of musical excellence which was accumulating (and continues to grow) in the Lutheran church.

On Sunday 29 October, two special programs will celebrate the 500th anniversary of the beginnings of the Reformation. Listen to Musica Sacra at 9.00am and, at 3.00pm in Sunday Special, to Ein feste Burg, a celebration of the Reformation in Music.

A SATIRICAL OPERA

October 2017

fineMusic 102.5

“Opera was founded as an aristocratic form of art ... If the framework of opera is unable to withstand the impact of the age, then this framework must be destroyed.” Kurt Weill, in 1929, wrote this to show the political and artistic intent of his ‘play with music’, Die Dreigroschenoper.

He and librettist Bertolt Brecht, in collaboration with Elisabeth Hauptmann, offered a socialist critique of the capitalist world. In the winter of 1927-28, Hauptmann, Brecht’s lover at the time, received a copy of John Gay’s play, The beggar’s opera, from friends in England and, fascinated by the female characters and its critique of the condition of the London poor, began translating into German. Brecht became interested and then sparked the interest of Kurt Weill with whom he was working on Mahagonny.

Weill adapted the score which Johann Pepusch wrote for the original production of The beggar’s opera and inserted ballads by François Villon and Rudyard Kipling. The score shows the influence of jazz and German dance-music of the time while the orchestration involves a small ensemble with a good deal of doubling-up on instruments. In some productions, the instrumentalists dance around the action on the stage. The title Die Dreigroschenoper was determined only a week before the opening in 1928 and the English version, The threepenny opera, was produced in 1956.

The most obvious link between Gay’s and Brecht’s librettos is that both plays condemn the hypocrisy of the upper class and ridicule the excesses of Italian opera. They leave the audience with neither moral nor happy endings and individuals are forced to think about the issues for themselves. ES Following the broadcast of The beggar’s opera in September, we now present The threepenny opera on Wednesday 11 October at 8pm in At the Opera.

NOSTALGIA, FRIVOLITY AND ENCHANTING MELODY DEREK PARKER DISCUSSES OPERETTA class audiences crowded the theatre every night and soon similar audiences in Vienna and Berlin demanded comparable entertainments.

The rage for operetta had begun with a bang!

Franz Lehár Anyone who wants to know how operetta first came to be the rage of Europe should read Emile Zola’s novel Nana.

However, to start at the beginning, in 1848 Louis Hervé, a French singer, composer, librettist, conductor and scene painter, composed a burlesque on Don Quixote as a vehicle for himself and another actor, Desiré.

The two must have rather resembled Laurel and Hardy; Hervé tall and gangling, Desiré short and plump. Although produced in the middle of the February Revolution, it was a great success and Hervé followed it up with works of his own. Then, in 1855, he produced Oyayaye, the first operetta by his friend and later, bitter rival, Jacques Offenbach. That was followed nine years later by a much greater success with La belle Hélène; and that is where Zola comes in.

Offenbach managed to persuade the soprano Hortense Schneider to play the part of Helen, and although she undoubtedly had a fine voice, it was not that which captivated Parisian audiences and was soon the talk of Europe.

She was, not to put too fine a point on it, one of the great grandes horizontales of the epoch, soon known because of the favours she liberally granted to the members of the nobility, as Le passage des princes. Apart from her scandalous life, there was much intrigue and rivalry and sexual shenanigans back-stage at the Théâtre des Variétés, all generously leaked to Zola by Ludovic Halévy, Offenbach’s librettist. Unsurprisingly mostly male upper-

Musically, operetta grew out of a demand for musical entertainment less intellectually rigorous than the tragédies lyriques which had begun to decline somewhat in popularity.

Operettas were generally shorter than ‘serious’ operas, lighter and more amusing although musically their standard was often as high and the performers quite as talented as the stars of the operatic stage. The scandals and notoriety of the early productions soon gave way to mere nostalgia and frivolity which, with enchanting melody, became the chief components of the new genre whose works were soon presented in opera houses and with opera singers rather than in private theatres with courtesans in the leading roles.

For some years Offenbach had no serious rival. Johan Strauss the Younger became his great successor, starting out with two moderate successes then producing in 1874, what is probably still the most performed of all operettas, Die Fledermaus. It was based on a farce by Louis Halévy and Henri Meilhac who had been Offenbach’s librettists. First performed in Vienna, within three years it was heard all over Europe and in America, wildly successful everywhere except in Paris, where it was a flop. Even with the cancan, it was not sexy enough for the members of the Jockey Club whose money still kept the Opéra going.

Vienna swiftly became the centre of the operetta production line with Strauss followed by a long procession of successful composers including Millöcker, Fall, Benatzky, Kálmán and Stolz and, of course the greatest of them all, Franz Lehár. His fans included Herr Adolf Hitler, completely besotted with the work: his housekeeper once discovered him preening before a mirror asking, ‘What do you say? Am I not Danilo?’

Although specialising in excellent Englishlanguage productions of Viennese operettas, England attempted to produce its own

operettas in the shape of the Savoy operas.

Gilbert and Sullivan were at once more intelligent and less ‘European’ than the Viennese composers. Their librettos were vastly more entertaining simply because of their ‘Englishness’ and this was true also of Edward German, Ivan Caryll and later Vivian Ellis. However, provincial squires and milkmaids were no rivals for Ruritanian princes and mysterious noblewomen. Noël Coward and Ivor Novello were nearer the mark but the weakness of their books disqualifies them from such revivals as are enjoyed by the lesser operettas of Strauss and Offenbach.

Meanwhile, what of America? Probably the composer to come nearest to the Viennese style was John Philip Sousa. Victor Herbert (influenced both by the Viennese composers and by Sullivan), Sigmund Romberg and Rudolph Friml firmly established their own styles and, sooner than anyone might have expected, attempts at operetta on the Broadway stages gave way to revue and the separate ‘numbers’ of Kern, Rodgers, Berlin, Porter, Gershwin and the other writers of the Great American Songbook. Then came the ‘musical’, often (as with Show Boat) with rebarbative themes. As far as operetta was concerned, the boom days were over, and apart from occasional excursions such as Bernstein’s Candide and Sondheim’s A little night music, that is, sadly, that.

It is difficult to believe that we have seen the last of Die Fledermaus or The merry widow, but how many music-lovers under, say, 35 still recognise the music of Kálmán or Kűnneke? Is operetta really dead? Discuss.

MOZART RE-IMAGINED IN A NEW ART WORK the artist Anri Sala, with the assistance of several music arrangers, and it has been recorded by the Munich Chamber Orcheshra. As the recording plays, the sounds of this modern interpretation of Mozart’s concerto will activate the snare drums to beat out a rhythm to accompany the music.

Music of Mozart, arranged to follow the description of the wind and played through hidden speakers, will be a feature of an art installation of both sculpture and sound called The Last Resort presented by Kaldor Public Art Projects. The sound will come from 38 snare drums suspended upside down from the ceiling of the Rotunda on Observatory Hill high above The Rocks. The hauntingly beautiful second movement of Mozart’s Clarinet concerto in A, K622 has been arranged by

ANRI SALA

Anri Sala was born in 1974 in Tirana, Albania, studied art in Albania and France and lives

It has taken Sala three years to prepare The Last Resort and he is premiering the installation in Sydney for the 33rd Kaldor Public Art Project which is free to the public. Also free are the wonderful views to be seen from Observatory Hill. The wind and the sea which have inspired this re-imagining of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto are also evident from this vantage point.

Where does the wind figure in this? James Bell, a 19th Century sailor, in recording his experiences on a sea voyage from England to Australia, wrote vivid descriptions of the wind. It’s this description which has influenced the tempo of this reimagining. The transformation of the canonical music is described as ‘if like a message in a bottle it had been washed ashore in Sydney after a long voyage at sea’.

and works in Berlin. In his work, Sala explores themes of loss and language, as well as the relationship between sound, space and architecture. He does this through video, sculpture and art installation. The complex interplay between live and recorded musical compositions is something which he has been exploring in recent times. He has interpreted musical compositions in multi-channel video and sound installations which emphasise the perception of sound in relation to architectural spaces. His work has been seen in various countries of Europe, in Mexico, the United States and Japan.

JAMES NIGHTINGALE AT THE MIDWAY POINT In direct opposition to these views, it seems to me, is the music of Beethoven, who wrote so many of his major works in the key of E flat major.

The Eroica Symphony, the Emperor Concerto, the Piano sonata no 26, Les Adieux, Piano sonata no 18, the String Quartets numbers 10 and 12, and the Overture and ballet from Prometheus are all in the key of E flat major. These works, it seems to me are heroic but not cruel, bold but not sacred.

The opinions of neither Schubart or Charpentier seem to stand up to the vigour and artistry of Beethoven’s works in E flat major.

The Master Key series in Sunday Special has passed its half-way point and the program showcasing E flat major on Sunday 1 October begins the second half of the series. One of the peculiar pleasures of preparing our series of programs has been the chance for Anne Irish and me to review, however summarily, various texts which comment upon the character of each key.

Over the centuries musicians and philosophers have waxed lyrical on this subject, often with conflicting views. For instance, Christian Schubart wrote that E flat major was the key of love, devotion and intimate conversation with God. In contrast, Marc-Antoine Charpentier described E flat major as ‘cruel and hard’. Before dismissing these views as irreconcilable, it needs to be noted that in the nearly 100 years between Charpentier and Christian Schubart, much had changed in the way in which musical instruments were tuned, making keys remote to C major sound less awkward. Simultaneously, the development of the piano provided a new timbral world which perhaps took the edge off keys such as E flat major.

More pertinently though, when programming a two-hour radio program, how could we decide which of Beethoven’s works to include or, indeed, exclude? In the end, we felt the appropriate course was to use Beethoven’s Variations and fugue in E flat major, op 35 (1802). The Eroica Variations, as Beethoven’s Opus 35 became known, is the site of Beethoven’s first recycling of the Prometheus theme.

Originating in his ballet, The creatures of Prometheus (1800-01), Beethoven would use this theme again in the finale of his Symphony no 3, the Eroica symphony (1803).

Since Beethoven’s time, other composers, including György Ligeti, have appropriated the theme also (in his opera Le grand macabre). In the Eroica Variations we hear Beethoven playing with the musical ideas, exercising his creativity in ways which he would exploit again in his first ‘Great’ symphony. At the opening of the variations we hear first the bass line of the theme, sparsely stated but full of harmonic momentum, then harmonised in simple arpeggios and then chords. Just before the end of the introduction we finally hear the

Prometheus theme in full. It is a piece which says so much about Viennese musical life at the turn of the 19th century, utilising variations form, upon the pianoforte and being a virtuoso work with which Beethoven could astound his audience.

After solving the problem of which of Beethoven’s works to include, the issue was of which Symphony to feature. There are so many wonderful symphonies in E flat.

We settled upon Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony to finish the program, despite the claims of symphonies by Bruckner, Dvorák, Elgar, Hindemith, Mozart and Mahler. Mozart’s Kegelstatt Trio and Brahms’ Third Piano Trio, Haydn’s String Quartet, the Joke, rounds out this program. I don’t think any of this music reflects Schubart or Charpentier’s opinions of E flat major.

As well as selecting great music, however, my colleague, Anne Irish, and I decided that it was necessary to apply a unifying factor to bind the series together. So we have programmed a Prelude and Fugue by either J.S. Bach or Shostakovich in every edition. Luckily, the huge number of performances of these cycles by so many wonderful musicians has provided us with a wealth of different approaches to enjoy.

Over the two-year course of the series, you will hear Preludes and Fugues from both of Bach’s series, The Well-tempered Clavier, Books 1 and 2 played by Richard Egarr at the harpsichord, Glenn Gould in his inimitable style at the piano, and with grace and simplicity by Angela Hewitt also at the piano. Interpreters of Shostakovich’s Preludes and fugues, op 87 include Roger Woodward, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Alexander Melnikov, three giants of the modern piano.

Please join us as the black notes dominate the keys distant from C major as the Master Key series continues in Sunday Special at 3pm on 1 October with the key of E flat major. While we don’t have time for the Eroica Symphony in that program, we can look forward to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in the November program, C minor.

A jealous French compatriot accused Camille Saint-Saëns of arranging the first performance of his Symphony no 3 in C minor in London ‘by nice calculation, being certain of finding abroad an exceptional goodwill, the echo of which would avourably influence French audiences’. It was true that 19th century French composers needed to travel beyond France to achieve recognition and there is no doubt that the successful London performance of the symphony paved the way for its enthusiastic reception in Paris.

The composer had intended to dedicate the symphony to Franz Liszt but Liszt died before the work was completed and it became a dedication to his memory. It is known as the Organ Symphony as an organ is used throughout and is most impressive in the magnificent last movement. It has been described as his most notable symphonic work. - ES

George Dreyfus’ relationship with the bassoon is well known and this album, George Dreyfus … Live! seeks to encapsulate his playing along with some of his own contributions to Australian music over the past 50 years. The instrumental tracks on this disc contain some of the well-known and well-rounded melodies from the Dreyfus catalogue. The opening track, from the ABC series of the 1970’s, Rush, is his most iconic theme and the upward inverse inflective theme from Let the balloon go brings back memories of that movie and the trials and tribulations of a young boy with polio.

The album is punctuated with a series of oblique vocal tracks of which the short description of guidance of Brad Cohen. Emma’s voice was then at its peak and although it has matured somewhat since, it is still a thing of beauty and a joy to hear.

In this album she hasn’t concentrated on the coloratura side of her voice but rather on the drama at which composers like Verdi excel. True, there is still the odd high E or F (including a deliciously hanging one in Rossini’s Il Turco in Italia) but the two arias from La traviata and the orchestral prelude will have you begging for more. If Emma isn’t a National Treasure already then I suggest there was no justice in the ballot which was announced a few years back. There’s still Which garden scent comes to mind when you hear a melting, ‘fragrant’ melody by Chopin?

Gardenias? Yes, something that is sweet but slightly herbaceous. Just such a melody opens the Andante spianato and Grande polonaise brilliante where the sound engineers have captured all the warmth of Jan Lisiecki’s playing. Lisiecki is Canadian-born (1995) to Polish parents. Deutsche Grammophon signed him in 2010. In 2013 he was awarded the Gramophone Young Artist of the Year and he made his Australian debut with the QSO in August.

Chopin was so in love with the piano that his orchestral writing can seem a bit spare, so ‘works for piano and orchestra’ can almost be a misnomer. This is the composer who made the piano ‘sing’ (grace notes and trills abound), so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the two masters of bel canto, Bellini and Donizetti,

a cunning and playful fox in Sebastian the fox will very quickly become an ‘ear worm’. I found Peace the most aesthetically pleasing miniature of the disc along with Marion whose phrasing and connectivity are outstanding examples of his instrumental genius. At a mere 33 minutes, this disc is for connoisseurs of Australian music. This music of George Dreyfus blurs the lines from the novel and naive to the witty and sarcastic.

- Frank Shostakovich

a gracious lady with a divine voice and this album is proof of it!

- Randolph Magri-Overend were influences. You can almost imagine Joan Sutherland singing some of these melodies.

The Rondo à la krakowiak is Chopin in his muscular Polish mode, folkloric elements abounding. Là ci darem la mano is a ‘cute’ Mozart tune, something which Chopin seems to acknowledge by his jaunty statement of the theme but his variations invest it with more meaning and drama than the original theme to produce music which is totally believable.

If the Polonaise and Krakowiak are folkloric, then the Fantasy on Polish airs is downright nationalist, using actual popular Polish tunes of the time. Nocturne in C sharp minor op. posth. is a delightful encore to a most enjoyable recital from a young man whose limpid tone is ideal for Chopin.

VALE PATRICK THOMAS DEREK PARKER PAYS TRIBUTE The death in August of the distinguished Brisbane-born conductor Patrick Thomas, at the age of 85, was a loss not only for the musical fraternity in general but for Fine Music in particular: he was for many years a volunteer in Chandos Street and always a friend.

The connection is not surprising: the driving ambition of the station is not only to provide music for those who know and love it, but to bring in and cater for those for whom classical music is a new and exhilarating experience.

That was also Thomas’ ambition and one which he more than fulfilled. He travelled the length and breadth of Australia conducting hundreds of performances, bringing the sound of a symphony orchestra to people who would otherwise never have had the opportunity to

hear it ‘live’. Through school performances he most probably planted in many children the seed of the love of classical music which they first heard because of his work.

He was also a highly successful international conductor who had formed his intention early: as a 12-year-old he attended his first symphony concert, saw Eugene Ormandy on the podium and knew where he himself eventually wanted to stand. Within a year he was playing the flute with the newlyformed Queensland Symphony Orchestra under Eugene Goosens at Goosens first concert in Australia. He reached the podium 18 years later, conducting the ABC Adelaide Singers. From then on, his career was set and he worked extensively with four ABC orchestras and with the Australian Opera and Ballet. He became the Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s chief conductor between 1973 and 1977, introducing audiences to much contemporary music, including, it is said, the work of over 100 contemporary Australian composers.

He travelled widely abroad as guest conductor with the Hallé in England and the Philharmonic orchestras of Moscow and Munich, in the Czech Republic, South Africa, Bulgaria and elsewhere. He was offered from time to time important and lucrative overseas engagements which he declined: his love of Australia and of his family brought him home perhaps too often for the perfect health of his career. His interesting autobiography and another book of anecdotes about his musical life reflect a career full of enjoyment as well as of study and the sheer hard work of leading musicians in often hard conditions (on his tours of northern Australia). He was justly recognised in the award of the Orders both of Australia and the British Empire.

A tribute program for Patrick Thomas will be broadcast on Tuesday 3 October at 1pm.

Patrick Thomas recorded some programs shortly before his death and he may be heard presenting Paul Paviour on Parade on 6 and 20 October at 1pm and The Amadio Legends on 10 October at 1pm.

VALE JANET SEIDEL JEANNIE MCINNES AND KEVIN JONES PAY TRIBUTE Australia’s ‘little jazz bird’ has flown away, leaving the music scene much poorer. Janet Seidel’s first album was called Little jazz bird and it summed up the reason for her popularity. She had been performing for some time, but this was her introduction to a wider audience, and wider it became with each tour and recording. It not only remains one of her finest albums but it showed her versatility and wide ranging repertoire.

To attend a Janet Seidel concert was a chance to be enriched by music and informed by introductions. To her, the melody and the lyrics came first and were never destroyed by vocal histrionics. Listen to any recording and it’s the song which shines through with Janet’s fine playing and singing expressing the intent of the song. She spent much time researching and exploring the meaning of each song so she could best share it with the audience. A song was not just a piece of music, but also a whole story. She always shared that and the reason each piece had been chosen for performance.

Over her career she recorded 18 albums.

In mainly small groups, she was always accompanied by her brother David Seidel on bass and, over the last decade and a half, guitarist Chuck Morgan. Earlier recordings featured trumpeter and saxophonist Tom Baker, including well-crafted vocal duet harmonies. Kevin Hunt, Don Burrows, Billy Ross, John Morrison, Ben Jones, Joe Chindamo and Fabian Hevia have also shared line-ups with her.

Each album was a chance to explore another musical area: the songbooks of performers Blossom Dearie, Doris Day and Peggy Lee, and composers Cole Porter and Henry Mancini; the sound of intimate places with the Art of lounge; and albums evoking particular places such as the Pacific with Moon of Manakoora and France in Comme ce comme ça. No other singer in Australia could have sung J’attendrai with such feeling in perfect French.

Taiwan, the UK, and just recently, China. It was the UK based Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD which described her as ‘the first lady of Australian jazz singing’, while Japanese critics ranked her in the Top 10 female jazz vocalists of her generation. In Australia, she won a Bell Award and ARIA nominations: high praise indeed and much deserved for a performer who gave everything to her music.

She performed to enthusiastic audiences around the world, including the USA, Japan,

Listen to musical tributes at 12 noon, 7pm and 10pm in some October jazz programs.

Janet Seidel will be much missed.

✶✶✶✶ When discussing big bands of the fabled Swing Era, the recordings of one of the most driving of the orchestras, that led by saxophonist Charlie Barnet, is often overlooked. Yet his recordings for the RCA Bluebird label from 193942 represent the most consistently excellent jazz music produced by any white swing band in this period, coinciding with the arrival of Cliff Leeman, one of the finest big band drummers.

The music is a series of duets with Evans by numerous musical contributors interspersed with tracks featuring Alon Ilsar’s sonic wizardry.

but Leeman changed that reinforcing Barnet’s aim: to swing, and hard! This was a happy band as the sidemen enjoyed the wild social life with their millionaire playboy leader who was not only a fine tenor saxophonist but a Johnny Hodges inspired soloist on both alto and soprano.

Arranger Billy May, responsible for many of the band’s popular instrumentals, compared being with Glenn Miller after being enticed to leave Barnet, to ‘like working in a factory’. Barnet’s was the blackest sounding of all the white swing bands, not surprising considering his admiration for the music of Duke Ellington and, to a slightly lesser extent, Count Basie, paying homage to them with The Duke’s idea and The Count’s idea. Although he recorded many of the Duke’s instrumentals, retaining their

spirit without being pale imitations of the originals, Barnet’s band had more ‘head’ arrangements than any other white band. He also helped break down the racial barriers by hiring black musicians including the great trumpeter Clark Terry. However, Barnet always had the right idea.

It was Frank Sinatra, even more than Ella Fitzgerald, who fostered my love of the timeless melodies of The Great American Songbook as a teenager. I consider myself privileged to have grown up in an era when music was not a ‘product’ but instead when the emphasis was on quality as epitomised by the classic albums of Sinatra with arranger Nelson Riddle. The excellence of his legacy must never be allowed to wither and in this new album Lyn Stanley shows she has picked up the torch to be its standard bearer in the 21st Century for a new generation of jazz and music listeners.

Superb in its sound and artistry, each track is a delight. It seems only appropriate that the album opens with All or nothing at all, first recorded by Sinatra with Harry James and His Orchestra in 1939. Bookended by quotes from

Gershwin’s Rhapsody In blue courtesy of the horn of Chuck Findley, who was the featured trumpet soloist with Buddy Rich’s Orchestra in the 1960’s, it’s nostalgic beginning blends beautifully with the change in tempo infused with Latin rhythms as Lyn takes over. I have written in the past how this singer, with her emotionally expressive phrasing, adds to the meaning of the lyrics and here there are many good examples from her nod to the Swing Era with Glenn Miller’s Moonlight serenade.

This is evident even more so on Close your eyes and How insensitive with nice piano from Tamir Hendelman. Here is a supreme song stylist in prime form in my vocal album of the year and there’ still Volume Two to come.

fly beyond, demonstrating a dizzying range of technique and tone complemented by Satsuki Odamura’s blissfully evocative koto playing, Bobby Singh’s cheeky tabla with his supple hand percussion making the disc’s rhythms feel organic, Adrian Sherriff’s sometimes bold and brassy bass trombone and the hauntingly faultlessly earthy double bass playing of Steve Elphick.

The group’s interplay in duets is as bright and smart as the leaders’ compositions. Some are simple frameworks for coasting and trading fun solos, though the more successful moments lie in the surprising juxtapositions of instruments.

Stand out tracks include the evocative and redolent Lake Yarrunga colours featuring the mastery of Satsuki Odamura’s koto and the prowess of Evans’ soprano alongside Rock warrior and Lake Yarrunga morning mist featuring the deftly skillful tabla playing of

Bobby Singh and the inventiveness of Evans’ tenor and soprano saxophones respectively.

This would have to be indeed one of the most intriguing contemporary musical releases in Australia so far this century.

LOUIS ARMSTRONG: SATCHMO JEANNIE MCINNES LOOKS AT A MUSICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY with Armstrong revisiting many old hits with a spoken introduction to each one, looking at his 25-year-old self from the viewpoint of his then mid 50s. He prepared by spinning his own old records, thinking out loud about what he might do differently and what he thought ought to be done the same or similarly.

The recordings were made over seven sessions in December 1956 and January 1957. He had no other dates during this time, and the sessions were held in a party-like atmosphere with food, beverages and friends in abundance. He was joined by various members of his All-Stars, with Armstrong recreating earlier works while swinging in the present, even playing high C’s not heard on the originals. As well, between each, he reminisces with piano backing from Billy Kyle.

His recordings of the 1920s changed the course of jazz: in King Oliver’s band, the first famous band highlighting the New Orleans sound and in his own Hot Five and Hot Seven where he dominated with crisp, aggressive and daring playing, original compositions, a unique vocal style, scat singing and his overall sense of swing.

During the 1920s and 30s, Armstrong recorded, performed and continued to evolve with his music, appeared in films and on radio and was much loved by fans and critics. In 1940 however, a young George Avakian created the first series of jazz reissue albums. Armstrong’s 1920s recordings were heard by later fans for the first time. What was meant as a chance to share the music became a difficulty as Armstrong was now being compared with his younger self. Critics wrote scathing reviews saying he ‘was no longer a vital force in hot jazz … has assumed a downright commercial attitude’. His reply was, “You can’t go back 30 years, man … Music’s better now than it used to be”. Several years later, when he dissolved his big band and started the small group, the All Stars, Time Magazine wrote, “Louis Armstrong has come back to jazz”. However, he wasn’t trying to recreate the 1920s, but performing as the natural all-rounder: trumpeter, vocalist, emcee, comedian and consummate entertainer that he was.

Able to take a popular song and make it his own, Armstrong had early hits with Heebie jeebies, St. Louis blues and Weatherbird, with swing era songs such as Swing that music and Stompin’ at the Savoy, and with popular songs far removed from his early roots such as Stardust, La vie en rose and All of me.

Some of the criticisms continued, with Armstrong feeling that people weren’t listening. In the 1950s he felt he was playing better than he had ever played in his life. It was in this atmosphere that his long-time producer Milt Gabler encouraged the production of a series of recordings, a musical autobiography,

Ask anyone about jazz, and invariably the name Louis Armstrong comes into the discussion. With good reason. Armstrong, one of the most recognisable figures of this art form, had his beginnings in New Orleans, where jazz developed from the roots of ragtime and blues in the mixing pot of Creole, African-American, West African and European musical traditions. He learned cornet in the Colored Waif’s Home for Boys in his early teens, moved to Chicago to join King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band in his early 20s before moving to New York where he remained based through decades of performing and touring.

Throughout his career, Louis Armstrong broke many barriers. He was the first jazz musician to write an autobiography, his 1936 Swing that Music; the first African-American to have featured billing in a Hollywood movie, Pennies from Heaven starring Bing Crosby; the first African-American to host a national sponsored radio broadcast, when he took over Rudy Vallee’s Fleischmann’s Yeast Show for 12 weeks; the first jazz musician to appear on the cover of Time Magazine; the first to have written into his contract that he would not perform in any hotel in which he could not stay; at 63, he was the oldest to have a #1 on the US pop charts with Hello Dolly and, at 66, on the UK charts with What a wonderful world.

Tony Bennett commented that ‘America’s greatest contribution to the world was Louis Armstrong’.

Armstrong’s music sprang from the beginnings of jazz in New Orleans but also pointed towards the future, ushering in modern jazz with his sense of blues, virtuosic playing and an amazing intonation on his instrument.

A remarkable musician and a remarkable personality, who rose from difficult beginnings to the world stage, leaving an indelible, positive mark on our culture.

The entire recordings of Louis Armstrong Satchmo: A Musical Autobiography can be heard on Fine Music DAB+ over four programs of Jazz Biography, Fridays at 9pm on 6, 13, 20 and 27 October.

THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE SATURDAY AT THE BALLET BY ELAINE SIVERSEN

Alexander Glazunov’s ballet, Raymonda, is a tale of a noble Hungarian lady, Raymonda, betrothed to a crusader, Jean de Brienne. A plot by the wicked Saracen, Abderakhman, to abduct her is foiled by a guardian spirit, the White Lady, and the crusader slays the Saracen in battle.

This fanciful story was suggested in 1895 by the novelist-journalist, Lydia Pashkova, to the director of the Russian Imperial Theatres in St. Petersburg. The rather weak story line extends over two acts while the third act focuses entirely on the betrothal and jubilant marriage celebrations for Raymonda and Jean de Brienne. This act comprises a series of divertissements and variations, one of which is the Pas classique hongroise (or Pas de dix), the most famous individual episode in the entire ballet. It is often performed as a single dance movement while Act III is occasionally produced as a stand-alone ballet.

Raymonda was first produced in 1898 by the Imperial Ballet at the Mariinsky (now Kirov) Theatre. It was choreographed by the great Marius Petipa and the leading role was created as a benefit performance for the Italian ballerina Pierina Legnani who had joined the company in 1892. She was born in 1863 and was a prima ballerina in Italy and London before going to St. Petersburg. She achieved greater fame there, dancing in the 46

Tsar’s Imperial Ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre where she became a ballerina assoluta.

She was an exceptional dancer who performed amazing feats such as 32 fouettés en tournant (turns on pointe) which is a bravura achievement emphasising the dancer’s strength and technique. She retired from the ballet company three years after the Raymonda production.

it is normally presented in one of two versions.

The first, with music by Peter Ludwig Hertel for the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, was based on the 1885 choreography of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. The other version, the most popular, is the one which we will be hearing: John Lanchbery’s arrangement of Ferdinand Hérold’s music for Frederick Ashton’s 1960 production for the Royal Ballet, London.

Lanchbery’s charming arrangement beautifully describes much of the comedic action and it is refreshing and joyful music to hear.

A critic has said that, although the story ‘is hardly an inspired literary creation, Raymonda survives in the repertory chiefly as a result of Glazunov’s exquisite and imaginative score’.

Unfortunately, productions of Raymonda are not often seen as ballet companies tend to prefer Glazunov’s other ballet from 1898, The seasons.

The appealing simplicity and naïvety of the action of La fille mal gardée has made this a popular ballet for audiences and, therefore, for production by many ballet companies all over the world. The music critic, Luke Jennings, has written that ‘no other work of art bestows quite the same rush of sheer happiness’.

The wayward daughter or The girl who needed watching are two of the translations of La fille mal gardée, a ballet which is one of the oldest in the modern repertoire. The inspiration for this comic ballet came from a 1789 painting

by Pierre-Antoine Baudouin (translated as The girl quarrelling with her mother). It was originally choreographed by Jean Dauberval in 1789 for the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux to a pastiche of music based on 55 popular French airs. Its original name translated as The ballet of straw or There is only one step from bad to good.

The work has undergone many changes of title and has had no fewer than six scores, some of which were adaptations of older music. Today

It has a French provincial setting and is a simple tale of love prevailing: not against near-immutable forces, such as social mores or evil intent, but against the inconvenience of Widow Simone wanting her daughter, Lise, to marry for money. The prospective bridegroom is Alain, the son of a wealthy farmer but, although he is a very nice young man, he really is a halfwit. This is quite unacceptable to this vibrant young woman who loves a young farmer named Colas and is determined to marry him.

One of the funniest parts of the ballet is during a picnic when Alain is carried away by the wind which catches his open umbrella. Eventually, love conquers all and the widow relents. After a joyful celebration for the union of Lise and Colas, everyone leaves and the house is left empty until Alain returns for his umbrella which he had accidentally left behind. So Alain is also happy with the love of his life, his umbrella.

Raymonda will be heard on Saturday 14 October at 3pm and La fille mal gardée on Saturday 28 October at 3pm.

A FRIEND IN DEED SUE JOWELL TALKS TO JUDY MILLER

Judy Miller has been a Friend of Fine Music for as long as she can remember. The station’s varied musical content has always appealed to her love of both classics and jazz but above all, Fine Music has become her constant companion over many years whilst driving to work at IBM. Her job as project and program manager meant that she often travelled abroad but she was quick to tune

in to 102.5 as soon as she returned. There is every chance, no doubt, that whilst away, she would have connected on line whenever she could.

Fine Music volunteer. Now, every Monday morning Judy climbs into her car, and as is her habit, she switches on the radio, which, obviously, is permanently set at 102.5.

Judy’s love of music has not just been confined to being a passive listener. On the contrary, she has played an active role in the music scene in a variety of ways. For many years she has sung in a number of choirs and as an adult, she learnt to play the flute. Interestingly, apart from her vocal performances, Judy now plays as part of a flute choir and has also become a teacher of the instrument. As if this wasn’t enough she has decided to learn the guitar as her number one retirement ‘new thing’. On top of all of this she enthusiastically attends concerts, recitals and the opera.

Arriving at 72-76 Chandos Street, she settles into her work in the record library. This, she says is her ‘quiet time’: a time when she can relax and enjoy her non-stressful duties, whilst also enjoying the music which is playing in the background. Added to this, she has discovered, this is also a time where she is able to meet and get a better appreciation of the diverse group of people with whom she works and whom she says self-effacingly, ‘have had amazing lives but who are all so modest’.

It could easily be assumed that there would not be much time left for anything else but this is not so. Two years ago, Judy decided that it might be a good idea to become a

Says Judy: “As a loyal Friend of the station I wanted to ‘give back’ for all the enjoyment I’ve had from all the many years of good listening”.

Thank you Judy your sentiments are echoed by us all.
