TCHAIKOVSKY’S ROMANTIC NUTCRACKER VISIONS Pure Magic

Wagner, Bartók & Brahms

Reflect and salute the ANZACs on the centenary of the Gallipoli landings with this moving musical tribute. New creations by New Zealander Michael F Williams and by Australian composer James Ledger feature in a sombre elegy for the soldiers who met their maker too soon.

You’ll be dancing in your seat to the magical tones of the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Waltz of the Flowers and the exotic treats (Chocolate, Tea, Coffee!) of Tchaikovsky’s wide-eyed Nutcracker ballet. Pure enchantment! Whether it’s sweethearts on the Rhine, or the Kingdom of Sweets, this concert conjures up the lost loves, magic and the wonder of youth.

Welcome pianist Peter Serkin to perform Bartók’s Third Piano Concerto, with its folk flavours, nostalgic heartfelt yearning for his Hungarian homeland and vivacious finale. The impulsive dancing rhythms return in Brahms’s orchestrated G minor piano quartet – a brilliantly coloured orchestral tour de force, utterly faithful to Brahms.

It seems we have a lot to celebrate in the way of musical milestones in Sydney this year. One of the biggest occasions, that will actually involve a series of events running throughout the year, is the centenary of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Featured on our cover this month, you can read more about the life of the first Director of the ‘The Con’, Henri Verbrugghen, on page 2. We’re lucky to have an extract from the new book by Peter McCallum, ‘The Centenary of the Con’, that traces the story from its humble beginnings in the old Government House stables, to its current accommodation in facilities that are, by any measure, outstanding. The Con’s story includes not only renowned performances but some of Australia’s greatest musicians: Florence Austral, Roger Woodward, Joan Sutherland, Richard Bonynge, Charles Mackerras, Malcolm Williamson, Peter Sculthorpe and Don Burrows, to name a few. You can read this exclusive book extract on page 3.

Another institution that has been at the heart of Sydney’s cultural life is our own Fine Music 102.5, albeit for only 40 years! You’ve been hearing a lot about our activities this year to mark this historic occasion and now we’re pleased to announce that festivities will culminate in a gala musical event to be held at the Sydney Town Hall on 18 July from 3-6pm. Find details of our lineup of artists on page 7.

We’ll also be broadcasting a special event live from Studio C on 30 May. Join Lloyd Capps, Maureen Meers and Stephen Wilson, and a fine selection of artists for an afternoon of live music from 12 noon until 5pm.

Last but not least, the program and tickets are now available for the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, celebrating its 25th year. Read our interview with the Festival’s Piers Lane on page 9 to get an insight into this year’s program.

And news just to hand: Acacia Quartet will celebrate its 5th Birthday in May with the concert series Five Chapters - the concerts are on May 23 and May 28 and you’ll find more information in our next issue.

CELEBRATING A MILESTONE IN SYDNEY’S MUSICAL HISTORY

THE ‘CON’ TURNS 100

Designed as horse stables for Governor Macquarie, the building affectionately known as the ‘Con’, will celebrate 100 years of existence this year.

Now ranked as one of the finest music schools in the world, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music is living up to its first Director’s initial objective. Henri Verbrugghen, who was Director from 1915-1921, had a vision that the Con was to “provide tuition of a standard equal to that of the leading European conservatoriums”.

Several other pre-eminent directors followed, including Dr Edgar Bainton (1934-1948), who established the opera school, and conductor and composer, Sir Eugene Goossens (18481955), who fashioned it into a world-class music institution.

The Con’s modern transformation came with the amalgamation of the institution with the University of Sydney in 1990, and of course, a major re-development of the site between 1997-2001 saw the building become a worldclass facility for all of Sydney to enjoy.

Current Dean and Principal, Professor Karl Kramer is pleased with five new initiatives he has overseen in the last three years. “One is the creation of the Pacific Alliance of Music Schools (PAMS) in April 2014 that saw the 12 elite music institutions from the Asia-Pacific gather at the Sydney Opera House to create an agenda, and draft a narrative that would establish closer ties which foster exchange.

“In July 2014, Estivo, our annual European Chamber Music Summer School based in Verona, Italy, was established with over 45 tertiary music students from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music taking part to perform over 20 concerts in three Italian cities in a two-week period.

“Thanks to the generosity and vision of our donors, the creation of the Westheimer String Quartet Development Program and two new annual conducting and piano scholarships were launched.

“I am also pleased to see outreach programs such as the University of Sydney’s annual Wingara Mura summer music program that offers an intensive music workshop to Indigenous high school students (years 9 and 10), and this year’s launch of the Con’s brand new contemporary music performance program - the Bachelor of Music Studies (Contemporary Music) - to meet the changing interests and needs of the music world.”

The Sydney Conservatorium building circa 1915

International reach With its world-class facilities and programs, the Con is able to attract some of the most outstanding conductors, performers, composers and teachers.

One such new arrival is the international conductor, Professor Eduardo Diazmuñoz from Mexico. Having conducted all over the world, Professor Diazmuñoz, who, from an early age was a friend and musical assistant to the great Leonard Bernstein, is directing the major event in the Con’s calendar to celebrate its centenary, a performance of Bernstein’s MASS. “In this Opera House concert, Bernstein’s MASS celebrates diversity, tolerance and peace – all aspects for which we crave in this new century,” said Diazmuñoz.

“It involves all disciplines, with its eclectic musical styles. It encompasses the symphonic, choral, operatic, even rock and roll, blues and musical theatre styles.

“What I believe students and audience members will take away from this performance is seen in Bernstein’s own comment on the shape of music – ‘the main crisis of our time is a crisis of faith’. Apart from enhancing our students’ own performing abilities, they should have an open mind to the fusion of musical styles.”

Diazmuñoz continues: “Still controversial four decades after its conception, the MASS is finally winning prominence in the world’s major concert halls and opera houses, regardless of the religious, artistic, philosophical, and/or ethical inclinations of its audiences.”

Diazmuñoz believes that this is a most appropriate piece for the Con’s centenary, a benchmark work that reflects musical shifts in

the context of a changing world.

“I believe that the MASS both strongly criticises and respects, not blasphemes, all creeds, all races, all religions, and all mankind. I encourage you to absorb its philosophical, existentialist content with open hearts and minds, as the music moves from introverted, reflexive, and meditative moments to those that are light, magnificent, rebellious, even outrageous.

“This is Bernstein’s personal homage to our beliefs, our tribulations and concerns, our hopes and dreams, our doubts, our lives.”

Professor Kramer’s and Professor Diazmuñoz’s world view of music aligns perfectly. The Con’s Dean concludes by saying: “Music is both universal and fundamental. Every culture in the world, it seems, has taught itself to coax sounds from a stretched hide, a hollow reed, or a vibrating string.”

So does classical music matter? “You betcha!” says Professor Kramer, “You only have to attend a concert by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and other performances at the Sydney Opera House, as well as the many halls, clubs, and theatres in Sydney to see the large audiences that are regularly attending classical and jazz music events.

“It is my hope that we build on our strengths and influences, while continuing to serve the people of Sydney and, indeed, all of Australia as a cultural hub with the finest musical education available for a lifetime of learning.”

- Barry Walmsley MASS by Leonard Bernstein, presented by the University of Sydney and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music to celebrate the Centenary of the Con, 6 May 2015 at the Sydney Opera House.

EXCLUSIVE BOOK EXTRACT FROM ‘THE CENTENARY OF THE CON’ Henri Verbrugghen’s appointment as the Conservatorium’s first director was both musically and politically astute.

He was a protégé of the Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaye, and early reports of his violin playing portray a musician of imagination and energy with the ability to engage the listener through nuance and a sense of line. In 1893 he had moved to the British Isles playing with the Scottish Orchestra Company in Glasgow and in summer with orchestras at Llandudno and Colwyn Bay, where he married Alice Emma Beatrice Beaumont on 21 September 1898. In 1904 he was appointed professor of violin, chamber music, orchestra and opera at the Glasgow Athenaeum, and in 1907 he gave the British premiere of Jean Sibelius’s Violin Concerto in D Minor.

Despite the Conservatorium position’s advertised requirement, Verbrugghen’s operatic experience was slight. His greatest British success had been as conductor of a Beethoven festival with the London Symphony Orchestra and Leeds choir in July 1914, reports of which had reached Australia before anyone could have known he would be an applicant. The festival included all nine symphonies and all five piano concertos, and the local report praised the championing of Beethoven at a time when everyone was ‘going more or less crazy about Schoenberg and Scriabin (which was not a problem in Australia at the time).

From the report it appears Verbrugghen, who later repeated the Beethoven festival formula in both Sydney and Melbourne, adopted a conservative stance in the contemporary debate over what changes, if any, were permissible in the adaptation of Beethoven’s text to modern taste, instruments and balance. The English music writer Sir George Grove had criticised Richard Wagner’s essay on Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony which had suggested re-orchestration and recomposition.

Gustav Mahler had gone further than Wagner, making bold, even eccentric adaptations, according to late-nineteenth-century taste, declaring, ‘Tradition ist Schlamperei’ (tradition is laziness). As for Verbrugghen, he has undertaken certain changes in the composition and balance of the orchestra which have naturally excited some comment. Whilst he is too great a Beethoven enthusiast to tamper with a note of the scores, the idea he has had in these alterations is to

produce Beethoven’s symphonies as the composer himself intended that they should sound. The orchestra has undergone many changes during the last 100 years; and not the least vital is that, while the number of strings has been doubled, that of the woodwind remains practically the same. Mr. Verbrugghen resolved to endeavor to restore the old balance: but in so doing he preferred not to reduce the size of the orchestra, as this would mean that the volume would be thin and ineffective. Therefore, instead of cutting down the number of the strings, he has doubled certain sections of the wind, making, of course, the necessary modulations in solo passages.

Verbrugghen had followed this up with a Bach-Beethoven-Brahms festival the following year, though it was less well attended due, it was reported, to anti-German feeling, and Verbrugghen seems to have lost money.

The other thing in Verbrugghen’s favour was that he was both Belgian and British. In order to invade France, German armies had requested transit rights across Belgium, which Belgium, being neutral, had refused. When Germany then invaded Belgium, British propaganda made much of the ‘rape of Belgium’, and in the local narrative Belgium was carefully woven into the story of Australia’s involvement in Gallipoli. Responding to a speech by the British prime minister H.H. Asquith in 1915, the Australian high commissioner in London, Sir George Houstoun Reid, thundered that “the rape of Belgium had awakened the young lion, with the result that Australians leaped into the Aegean, and faced the Turkish and German storm of shot and shell, and won a dauntless way until the flag victorious was placed upon the summit of the cliffs”.

A modern public relations firm skilled in the science of media spin could hardly have engineered a better campaign around Verbrugghen’s arrival. It had been known towards the end of April 1915 that he had been offered the position, and as the inaugural concert [on 6 May 1915] had approached, the press had breathlessly awaited his reply.

Four days after the concert his acceptance was reported, setting off a chain of Verbrugghen-orientated media comment that scarcely abated until he left the post. Arthur Mason, who had served on the London board and was a regular correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald, recapitulated Verbrugghen’s London triumphs. His farewell concert from London was reported, and the perils of his journey on the RMS Maloja were covered in detail. The Maloja was itself sunk by a mine outside Dover in 1916.

The steamship journey from Europe lent itself naturally to a triumphant arrival. News of the ship’s striking the Australian mainland at Fremantle on 12 August were cabled around the country, with staged interviews in Adelaide and Melbourne. The procession concluded with a train journey from Melbourne and an interview at Sydney’s Central railway station. Verbrugghen’s grand vision, his jokes and his views on the primacy of German music up to Johannes Brahms were reported with undimmed avidity.

SYDNEY YOUTH ORCHESTRA’S WORLD PREMIERE Father and son to perform new concerto The Sydney Youth Orchestra (SYO) has seen many of its musicians progress to international careers. It has become an unofficial ‘right of passage’ to those who perform in it and on many occasions performers come full circle and return to perform with the SYO as guest soloists or conductors.

In May the SYO will perform a program of music called Ride of the Valkyries featuring Berlioz’ Roman Carnival Overture, Wagner’s The Ring Without Words (arr. Leinsdorf) and the world premier of Lee Bracegirdle’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra.

The violin soloist, Michael Dauth, is an alumni of the SYO having held the post as Concertmaster and has since established an international career as soloist, orchestral and chamber player.

Dauth will perform publicly with his son, SYO Concertmaster, Darcy for the first time, a spectacular performance with 73 members of the Sydney Youth Orchestra.

In fact, Michael Dauth was part of the reason behind the creation of the concerto, says Bracegirdle. “[He] came to me with the suggestion I write a solo work for him. He had played as Concertmaster with the SSO in some of my previous orchestral works, and I believe it was during a rehearsal of my Ammerseelieder that he approached me with this idea. I immediately began thinking up ideas”.

Lee Bracegirdle

Bracegirdle outlined some other influences in the work that make it fitting for an Australian premier: “I have always loved the curious, lyric sounds that Australian magpies sing. The opening 12-note violin melody of the slow movement is based on one of these magpie songs.”

In regard to the father and son performing this world premiere, Bracegirdle said: “This is a very interesting coincidence, and one to which I look forward very much.

“It should provide some fabulous music-making, especially since there are some passages where there is duet-like collaboration between the two players, and also a string septet section in the slow movement”.

Darcy is looking forward to performing this work with his father - it is the first time they have performed together publicly. “The concerto is going to be a highlight and something to remember forever in my musical career. It will be fantastic to work with someone that I look up to and respect greatly,” he said.

Valuable experiences The SYO regularly performs world premieres, which are an important part of a young musician’s life, “because this is what they will be presented with when they are professionals” says Bracegirdle. “And what better chance to become accustomed to it than in a good youth orchestra.

“If previous performances by the SYO are any indication… I foresee unbridled, uninhibited, undaunted, and unpredictable playing, and it’s something to relish,” said Bracegirdle.

As Concertmaster, Darcy faces many challenges in preparing for a new work: “It can be very different performing a classical canon work to a new work. New works explore very new ideas and techniques in their music, different to those composers of classical canon works.

“Being able to watch my father lead a professional symphony orchestra was always a fantastic opportunity. I have learnt much from watching him and learning the Concertmaster role of the orchestra and the leading aspects,” said Darcy, who is currently studying violin at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and hopes to study overseas upon the completion of his studies here.

Bracegirdle himself has an established career as a composer, conductor and french horn player.

He says that much of the time he spent in the orchestra has been helpful in learning about composing, orchestration and conducting: “I think that the many years I spent sitting right in the middle of the orchestra, in the US, South America, Europe, then Sydney, was a valuable lesson about how to write for the instruments of the orchestra and how the music will sound.”

Bracegirdle has some advice for young musicians aspiring to make professional careers in the industry: “For performers: live, sleep, eat, drink and think your instrument and forget all the other stuff.

“For conductors: learn an orchestral instrument, follow my advice to performers and get a job in an orchestra so you can experience what we have to put up with from you. For composers: all of the above and study the scores of the masters.”

The Sydney Youth Orchestra, conducted by Alex Briger will perform the world premier of Lee Bracegirdle’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra and other works on Saturday 30 May, 7pm Verbrugghen Hall, Sydney Conservatorium and again on Sunday 31st May 3pm Riverside Theatres, Parramatta.

FINE MUSIC REPORTS FROM WOMADELAIDE Graced by the elders of world music It can be a bit hard to know what to pack for South Australia in March. It can be 40 degrees for five days in a row or it can be mild and sunny as it was this year. Botanic Park is part of the ring of green that surrounds the centre of Adelaide. It’s a perfect setting for a festival that attracts the best international world music artists and an audience from around Australia who come to see them.

cooked Melanzane while singing in strident three part harmony and playing tarantellas from southern Italy.

And then there were the Malawi Mouse boys.

They are a quartet of young men who made a living in their village by catching mice, threading them onto sticks and roasting them to sell by the roadside. But how they sing! This was gorgeous gospel sung Malawi style in four part harmony in the local Chichewa language.

One of the headliners in 2015 was Youssou N’dour who was making a return visit after setting the festival on its successful path at the inaugural WOMADelaide in 1992. Among the other main stage acts was Buena Vista Social Club with four original members still in the line-up. Was there a theme emerging here?

Was this a history lesson? Apparently not.

These older performers had at least as much energy and twice as much class as some of the younger acts.

Youssou N’Dour started his music career in Senegal when he was 12 years old and has never lived anywhere else. His mother was from a Griot family of hereditary historians and praise singer/musicians. His young band introduced mbalax music to Senegal in the 1970s, which added Cuban rhythms to the West African music, bringing it all back home. It didn’t take long till he had the world enthralled through his Colombia and Real World releases. His life since then has included a political career in Senegal which he says is his way of giving back to his people. He was giving it back to us here in Australia when he and his incredible Super Étoile band closed the Sunday night at WOMAD. What an emotive and powerful tenor voice – eminently recognisable anywhere.

Toumani Diabate is from a Malian Griot family.

He has followed the tradition and passed his musical skills on to his son Sidiki. His father was the first to release an album of kora (West African harp) music in 1970. Toumani has achieved global recognition collaborating with flamenco, jazz and blues musicians as well as other African musicians. Hearing the kora-playing father and son duo together was absolute bliss. The interweaving of the improvised lines and accompanying rhythms played on the multitude of strings and resonated by the large gourd was mesmerising.

Bolivian singer Luzmila Carpio

No-one spoke for the whole hour of the concert.

An artist I was particularly looking forward to seeing was an indigenous Bolivian singer from a Unicef cassette I had been given in the 1980s, Luzmila Carpio. A champion of indigenous Andean cultures, Carpio sings in Quechua and Aymara – the languages of the Incas. She relocated to Paris 10 years ago after being appointed Bolivia’s Ambassador to France. With her French band she has set her traditional songs into more contemporary instrumental arrangements topped by her incredibly high crystal clear voice and tiny strummed charango (originally made from Armadillo shell). One song featured her amazingly accurate mimicry of bird calls of the Altiplano or high plains.

A unique feature of WOMAD festivals is the Taste the World stage where performers cook a signature dish from their culture of origin while being interviewed. This worked perfectly in the case of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino who

But let’s get back to the elders. Omara Portuondo, at 84 years of age, is with Buena Vista Social Club on their Adios Tour. Portuondo took command of the stage from the moment she stepped out of the shadows. She entered the spotlight and captivated everyone with her stage craft, her expressive voice and exquisite phrasing and improvisations. Though needing to support herself on the piano or a music stand, she still managed some pretty hot dance moves. Starting out as a dancer, Portuondo first became a singing star in the 1940’s, when Cuban mambo and other dance rhythms took the world by storm. She didn’t want to leave the stage at any of the Buena Vista performances, resisting attempts by rising star pianist Rolando Luna to help her off the stage. She kept waving, taking bows, acknowledging the band and exited very slowly. It probably will be her farewell tour but I don’t know about the rest of Buena Vista.

Maybe we do sometimes only get to see these big stars in the twilight of their careers. But these elders have definitely still got what it takes and outshine much younger performers with their highly developed art and stage presence.

AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL Twenty-five years of sun and music Recently the Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM) made the announcement that legendary pianist Piotr Anderszewski will headline the 25th Anniversary of Queensland’s famed event. It is no doubt a great coup for AFCM, but it’s also a rare opportunity for music lovers as Anderszewski has only performed once before in Australia in 2001 and is not doing any other recitals whilst here this time.

Returning for his ninth year as the Festival’s Artistic Director, Piers Lane has curated another innovative program which will include tributes to the late Peter Sculthorpe, world premieres of three new works, outstanding Australian and internationally acclaimed musicians, and even comedic performances.

A free 25th Anniversary Celebration Concert – The 1812! will be staged for the people of Townsville in the Queens Gardens and two Concert Crawl roving events, as well as a Long Table Lunch on the waterfront, will provide special anniversary experiences for visitors and locals.

Over the past quarter of a century, the internationally renowned festival has cultivated a reputation for delivering brilliant performances by world-class artists, each year building on the success of previous seasons and becoming a must-attend event for both audiences and artists alike.

“I look forward to celebrating the deep sense of community that has been fostered by the festival over the past 25 years, while also looking ahead to another 25 years of showcasing toptier artists and their magnificent performances in Townsville – the birthplace of the AFCM,” said Lane.

When asked why Townsville? Lane replied: “The real answer to why it’s here is the weather.

“It’s a great place for Melbournians and Sydney siders to escape the cold of the winter, and come up here to the tropics and enjoy high quality music making. The founders wanted to fashion it on a festival in Finland.

“On a personal note, by chance is that the town is also very dear to me because my mother and her family were born here,” said Lane.

Also joining the Anniversary celebrations will be the Festival’s founding artistic director, Ukranian-American conductor and viola player Theodore (Ted) Kuchar who was with the festival until 2006 and will be warmly welcomed back.

Piers Lane

Festival highlights Reading over the program it is hard to select highlights as each day has a stellar lineup and plenty of music – from 31 July–8 August – from mid-morning most days through the afternoon and then well into the evening.

“There’s no single must-see concert, rather there are quite a few must-see concerts,” said Lane.

“Several world premieres are happening. Elena Kats-Chernin has been commissioned to write a 30 minute ballet or dance with detachable chamber music for the AFCM… that music will be a world premiere at the festival.

“American pianist David Sampson is coming to play works by composer Dave Elton. We’ll also be honouring several composers’ anniversaries, for example Sibelius, Nielsen and Glazunov,” said Lane.

Last year’s event sold in excess of 12,000 tickets, making it arguably the largest chamber music festival in the Southern Hemisphere.

“Some people enjoy coming to just the first weekend or the second weekend. Other people sometimes book a couple of weekdays, leaving them time to do tourist things while they’re in town,” said Lane.

The much-loved signature series Concert Conversations, hosted by Lane over six mornings, will give audiences the rare opportunity for an extended chat with the legendary Piotr Anderszewski, and with Theodore Kuchar as well as Louise Hopkins, Jack Liebeck, Rainer Hersch, Benjamin Martin, Nicholas Daniel, Hartmut Rohde, Ike See, Rohan

Dasika, soprano Valda Wilson, composer David Sampson, and many others from the Festival program.

Whilst noted for his interpretations of the central German repertoire, Piotr Anderszewski has received equal acclaim for his exploration of works by Szymanowski, Janacek and Chopin.

He will give a number of performances at the AFCM including works by Mozart and Bach and others with which he is identified.

Another element of the AFCM program returning this year is a crowd favourite, the Concert Crawl – returning with two versions in 2015, an evening version and a daytime one.

The audience will be divided into groups that move between venues while enjoying a glass of wine and refreshments or afternoon tea accompanied by musicians performing varied styles of music.

“I’ve added a comic element with Jerry Connolly who will play pieces and then comment on them. It’s truly funny,” said Lane.

Commenting on the music scene in Australia Lane says: “I find it vibrant and exciting. I think the orchestral scene is great and I am recording this year for Hyperion.

“Whenever I come back to Australia I am always pleased to bump into friends from overseas, often touring with Musica Viva which is one of the best chamber music organisations in the world.”

YOUNG VIRTUOSI

Broadcasts of the Young Virtuoso Award semi-finalists continue

Fine Music continues its broadcasts of the Young Virtuoso Awards (YVA) semi-finalists every Wednesday from 1pm. On offer is a generous first prize of $10,000 from The Frank Family Foundation and Cameron Williams and a performance for the winner with the North Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

The second place winner will receive a $2,000 prize from Sydney Piano World. And, the NSW Doctors Orchestra, in line with their philosophy of supporting young musicians, has committed to donate the third place prize of $1,000. The remaining finalists will each receive $500.

Robbin Reza

Australian pianist Robbin Reza (20) began studies at the age of five under the tutelage of Sayano Ito. He is currently in his third year at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music working towards a Bachelor of Performance, after being awarded with the Bessie Cook Piano Scholarship.

From an early age, Reza has won countless prizes, and has been awarded numerous performance opportunities in Australia and overseas.

“Highlights for me are usually when I feel like I have fulfilled a goal whether it be big like winning a major competition or small like finally being able to play a passage you have been working on for so long,” he told Fine Music magazine.

In 2013 and 2014, Reza presented a Young Virtuosi live broadcast with Fine Music 102.5 and performed the Australian Premiere of Elliot Carter’s Conversations (2010) as a soloist at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Chloe Chung Chloe Chung made her flute debut with Fine Music in Year 8, but since finishing an internship last summer, works as a budding presenter on the Young Virtuosi team.

Chung has played with the Conservatorium Orchestra and with Sydney Youth Orchestra

in the 25 years and under violin section at Sydney Eisteddfod. She is currently playing a 1760 Francois Fent violin from the Westheimer Collection.

“Being broadcast on a prestigious radio station gives you as the performer a challenging but unique and rewarding experience that is rare, also being able to do this whilst meeting other like-minded young people makes it a lot of fun,” said Lee of her participation in the YVA.

since 2010. Her highlight of last year was playing the alto flute in Rite of Spring on the SYO flagship tour to Kangaroo Valley.

“In the past year I have had some amazing opportunities… I played piccolo in the Shostakovich Symphony no. 5, and Ravel La Valse under the baton of Darby Judd,” Chung told Fine Music.

“Last year with SYO, I was lucky enough to play first flute in Debussy’s Afternoon of a Faun – which is every flute player’s dream come true in a way – and after being in SYO for two years and growing with the players around me it was a really memorable concert.

“This is my second year in the YVA semi-finals – and I’m so glad I get to do it all again! It’s an invaluable experience – preparing a 50-minute program is a time consuming business, but extremely rewarding,” said Chung.

Gemma Lee

Having learnt the violin from the age of five, Gemma Lee attended Santa Sabina College and is currently studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music under the tutelage of Dr Goetz Richter.

She has previously been a member of the Sydney Youth Orchestra, performed as both member and soloist in the SBS Youth Orchestra and is currently part of Sydney Conservatorium Symphony and Chamber Orchestra.

Recently, Lee was awarded winner of the instrumental duo section and third place

Vincent Lo

Twenty-year-old Vincent Lo is studying a Bachelor of Music performance degree at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, after taking up the cello at the age of five. He was selected as a state finalist in the 2MBS-FM Young Performer competition in 2011.

“I am entering the YVA again this year as I believe it offers a unique and valuable experience, as performing on radio is a totally different experience to performing for an audience,” said Lo. Lo has also achieved first place in the instrumental duo section of the Sydney Eistedfodd, and travelled to Italy as a member of a quartet which he rates as a highlight of his musical career, along with “participation in orchestras such as Sydney Youth Orchestra and the Sydney Conservatorium Orchestra, as well as chamber music experience”.

CONTEMPORARY CONDUCTORS Daniel Barenboim

Barenboim performed the prelude to Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde as an encore and received overwhelming applause.

Barenboim’s contribution to a better world was conceived in 1999 when he met Edward Said.

And here I quote from the obituary The Guardian newspaper ran after Said’s death in 2003:

Daniel Barenboim

Daniel Barenboim has had a long and glorious career both as a concert pianist and a celebrated conductor. He has been described as one of the great humanists and a person respected for his integrity and principles.

But first a brief look at his life to date. He was born in Argentina in 1942 to parents of RussianJewish descent. He started piano lessons at 5 and at the age of 7 gave his first concert in his home town of Buenos Aires. The family moved to Israel in 1952 and at 17 Barenboim performed his first cycle of Beethoven piano sonatas, something he has repeated over 30 times. He conducted his first orchestra in Israel when he was 20. Since then, he has been music director of the Paris Orchestra, Chicago Symphony and, his particular favourite the Berlin State Opera.

In Milan, the La Scala Theatre has created a special post for him – maestro scaligero – master of La Scala. He has conducted the Vienna Philharmonic in its New Year Concert on two occasions, 2009 and 2014 and both times he announced the hope that that year would be a year of peace and human justice, particularly in the Middle East.

Barenboim’s recordings as a conductor include the complete symphonies of Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Schubert and Schumann plus the Da Ponte operas of Mozart, several works

by Wagner, including the complete Ring Cycle.

The music of Mahler appears to be a problem for him although he has recorded Mahler’s 12

May 2015

fineMusic 102.5

Fifth, Seventh and Ninth Symphonies plus Das Lied von der Erde. Barenboim also continues to perform and record chamber music, at times with the orchestras he has led.

Barenboim married Jacqueline du Pré, the well-known British cellist, in 1967 at a Western Wall ceremony in Jerusalem, du Pré having converted to Judaism. Zubin Mehta was one of the witnesses. Soon after their wedding du Pré decided not to accompany her husband in his many professional sojourns and her career ended in 1973 when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). She died in 1987.

Unbeknownst to du Pré, Barenboim had begun an affair with Russian pianist Elena Bashkirova who bore him two sons, David Arthur (1983) and Michael (1985). Barenboim believes that he successfully managed to keep the affair hidden from du Pré and he and Bashkirova married in 1988, a year after du Pré’s death.

Barenboim has had many tussles with the Israeli cultural bureaucracy in his many attempts to perform the works of Richard Wagner in Israel., where since 1948 the playing of Wagner’s music had been banned because of the latter’s perceived anti-Semitism. In 1974 and 1981 Zubin Mehta had planned to lead the Israeli Orchestra in works by Wagner but it never eventuated.

In 1990 Barenboim led the Berlin Philharmonic in its first Israeli appearance but no Wagner works were performed. Eventually in 2001, in a Jerusalem concert with the Berlin Staaskapelle,

“As professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University, New York, Said was widely regarded as the outstanding representative of the poststructuralist left in America. Above all, he was the most articulate and visible advocate of the Palestinian cause in the United States, where it earned him many enemies. The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra he founded with the Israeli citizen Daniel Barenboim in 1999 grew out of the friendship he forged with the musician who shares his belief that art and, in particular, the music of Wagner transcends political ideology. With Said’s assistance, Barenboim gave master classes for Palestinian students in the occupied West Bank, infuriating the Israeli right.”

On the subject of the Divan orchestra, Barenboim adds that people mistake the function of the orchestra as a project for peace. The Divan, he emphasises, is a project against ignorance. “I am not trying to convert the Arab members of the Divan to the Israeli point of view, and I am not trying to convince the Israelis to the Arab point of view.”

“I am trying,” he continues, “to create a platform where the two sides can disagree and not resort to knives”. What Barenboim is trying to achieve is how to get 100 musicians to think and feel alike, “….to get together and feel one huge common lung (so) that you breathe the music the same way”.

In July 2012, Barenboim and the Divan orchestra were rewarded by performing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony at the BBC London Proms.

It coincided with the opening of the London Olympic Games. Barenboim was also chosen to carry an Olympic flag at the opening ceremony for bringing ‘harmony in place of discord.’

FLASHBACK WITH DEREK PARKER

Constant Lambert – the demi-semi Australian If you stroll into the Art Gallery of New South Wales and turn into the second gallery on the right, you will see a painting by George W. Lambert entitled ‘Holiday in Essex’. It shows a couple of boys and their mother, and a pony, no doubt off on an agreeable outing. One of the boys – bare feet and long blonde hair - is on the pony’s back. He was the artist’s son, and he grew up to become the ‘Australian’ composer and conductor Constant Lambert.

I perhaps rather rudely put the word Australian in inverted commas: his father, George Lambert, was born in St Petersburg and had American forebears, though he was certainly naturalised and is always referred to as ‘the Australian painter’. Constant, though born in England in 1905, never came to Australia, but always thought of himself as Australian, and worked with many Australian artists, including Robert Helpmann and Arthur Benjamin.

His musical education took place in London; while he was thirteen, and still at Christ’s Hospital, he wrote his first orchestral works, and later at the Royal College he learned composition from Ralph Vaughan Williams and conducting from Malcolm Sargent.

Astonishingly, at twenty the great impresario Serge Diaghilev commissioned him to write a score for a ballet by Bronislava Nijinska about a rehearsal of Romeo and Juliet (the principal dancers who are rehearsing the play make love rather than rehearsing their parts). It was not altogether a happy collaboration – Lambert disagreed with every idea Diaghilev had about the piece, and the impresario lost his temper and took to avoiding him. Then Diaghilev cut an important scene and both Nijinska and Lambert were incandescent with rage. Lambert tried to remove his orchestral score from the orchestra pit, but was forestalled – at rehearsals he had a man on each side of him to make sure he didn’t tear up the music. He told his mother he became so distraught that Diaghilev had him watched by two detectives.

The ballet was not a success, but the audience at the first night called for Lambert until he took a bow, “blushing like a schoolboy”, the Daily Express reported. It was a pretty upsetting experience - but it gave Lambert experience both for writing for the ballet and conducting performances. However, for the next few years he concentrated on composition, turning out among other pieces his most popular work, The Rio Grande, for piano, alto soloists, chorus and orchestra. It was written to a libretto by Sacheverell Sitwell for a ballet, A Day in a Southern Port, about low life in a tropical sea-port, with prostitutes in skimpy costumes

Constant Lambert at work

and an orgy of sailors, and shows Lambert’s interest in African-American music and jazz (he was a great admirer of Duke Ellington, Django Reinhardt and Stéfane Grappelli). His masterpiece however may be Summer’s Last Will and Testament, a choral setting of Thomas Nashe’s poem about 16th-century London in the plague years. It is scarcely ever performed.

Return to the ballet As a conductor he was very active, highly effective in the romantic Russian composers, many of whose works he introduced to British audiences. The most important and influential part of his life began in the 1930s, when he began conducting for the Vic-Wells Ballet (later the Royal Ballet). With Ninette de Valois, the company’s director, and Frederick Ashton, its chief choreographer, he was one of a trio who really built the company’s reputation, not only musically but with his keen interest in stage design. His enthusiasm, it was said, “flowed like a torrent, drenched like a fountain”. Helpmann thought he was the greatest of all conductors for the ballet: he could, he said, make the Sadler’s Wells orchestra sound double its size.

A Day in a Southern Port provided a first starring role for Margot Fonteyn. She fell desperately in love with Lambert, and despite his being married and twice her age, their liaison lasted for many years. He gave up composition in favour of his work for the Vic-Wells – which among other things meant frenetic work during the war years, when the company toured incessantly – but he also

had a real talent for friendship, with among others Ashton, the Sitwells, Michael Tippett (who he called Arseover Tippett) the artist Michael Ayrton and the writer Anthony Powell – in whose A Dance to the Music of Time he appears as the character Hugh Moreland.

He himself was no mean writer, and his book Music Ho!, sub-titled ‘A study of music in decline’, is acute, opinionated, idiosyncratic and often very funny. Of one composer’s work he writes: “The gear-change between the first and second subjects would have made a dead French taxi-driver turn in his grave”, and he claimed that while many composers work at the piano, Brahms must have worked at the double-bass. He composed scabrous limericks, and loved practical jokes: he once published a fake catalogue of a Royal Academy exhibition which included paintings by the highly conventional painter Frank Brangwyn, with the titles ‘Blowing Up the Rubber Woman’ and ‘The Annual Dinner of the Rectal Dining Society’. He could also turn out witty verse at the drop of a hat – faced with having to rehearse a rival composer’s work, he invented a rhyme to suit the main rhythm: ‘Oh dearie me/I do want to pee/And I don’t much care if the audience see’.

Lambert was said to be the most fervent drunk of his generation (he would not have scorned the title). He died in 1951 of undiagnosed diabetes complicated by alcohol poisoning. He may have been only a demi-semi Australian, but who would not want to claim him as a fellow citizen? - Derek Parker May 2015

ENSEMBLE MOZART’S PIANO AND WINDS OMEGA ENSEMBLE With guest artist Kathryn Selby 11 May 7.30pm Venue: City Recital Hall, Angel Place Tickets: $29-89 Bookings: 02 8256 2222 or cityrecitalhall.com Information: omegaensemble.com.au One of the most important aspects of Omega Ensemble’s programming over the past ten years has been the flexible instrumentation on offer. A rare and unique element of this performance is the wind quintet that features in each composition.

Unlike the standard string quartet with its homogeneous blend of colour, the instruments in a wind quintet differ from each other considerably in technique, idiom, and timbre which creates a huge palette of colour, highlighting the individual sounds of each musician.

The feature work of the evening is Mozart’s sublime Piano and Winds. Joined by wellknown virtuoso pianist Kathy Selby, the simplicity and elegance of Mozart’s Piano and Winds is contrasted with the rarely heard Sextet in C minor by French female composer, Louise Farrenc.

The final two pieces feature Hindemith, a great advocate for piano and wind compositions, as well as one of the most important avant-garde composers in the latter half of the twentieth century, Romanian composer Ligeti.

Although this was never to eventuate, the Piano Trio has an intriguingly elusive, shadowy quality.

Programmed in celebration of Nigel Butterley’s 80th birthday, Spindles of the Stars is one of the most rewarding chamber

compositions of this highly decorated composer. Max Bruch, whose famous violin concerto overshadows many of his other works, was also an important composer of chamber music; this program includes selections from his Eight Pieces for clarinet, viola and piano including the mysterious Nocturne. And in a spectacular end to the first half of the program, flautist Geoffrey Collins is joined by two dancers in a newlychoreographed version of Thea Musgrave’s Narcissus for solo flute and digital delay. Here both musicians and dancers play delightfully with ideas of reflections and shadows.

LECTURE ABOUT MUSIC LECTURE SERIES CURATING OPERA 25 May 5pm Venue: Recital Hall West, Sydney Conservatorium of Music Tickets: Free (registration required) Booking: music.sydney.edu.au/ Stephen Mould, Chair of Opera Production and Senior Lecturer in Conducting and Operatic Studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, will discuss the rise of the public art museum in Europe, along with curatorial practices developed in organising and displaying artworks that demonstrate interesting parallels and contrasts with the development of the modern opera house and the operatic repertoire. More recent (post-war) curatorial developments, have radically called into question the role of the artist vis-à-vis that of the curator, and caused a shift in power that has destabilised the identity of the artist,

the artwork and the curator. In opera houses a similar shift can be discerned, with the stage director vying for a dominant curatorial role, often at the expense of the librettist, creating a new hierarchy in the ever-shifting roles of librettist, composer, conductor, stage director, singer, and impresario. Stephen will also be conducting the Con Opera production of Malcolm Williamson’s English Eccentrics in Semester Two. Details of other events here music.sydney.edu.au/event-listings.

Ongoing commemorations of World War 1 remind us of the horrors of war as well as the humanity which emerges during conflict. This event, along with many other more recent tragedies, have taught us that to rise above the ugliness of violence and conflict we must draw on qualities of empathy, compassion, and, ultimately, of peace.

This very special work, by composer Karl Jenkins, reflects on the passing of ‘the most war-torn and destructive century in human history’ and looks forward in hope to a more peaceful future.

What makes this work distinctive is the texts which are drawn from many parts of the world and from diverse religions and cultures. The music, too, is cosmopolitan in its inspiration and includes a Muslim call for prayer. Prior to the Saturday event a release of doves will take place on the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House.

concert of 2015 will feature Antonin Dvoˇrák’s intensely moving Stabat Mater. Completed in 1877 and underpinned by Dvoˇrák’s grief at the untimely death of his daughter Josefa, and of two other children (Rozena and Otakar) shortly after, the Stabat Mater reflects the profound grief of Mary as she maintains her vigil at the foot of the Cross, with superlative nuance in harmony and counterpoint as well as dexterity in vocal writing.

✶✶✶ I am not quite sure about this double-CD album. On the one hand I greatly admire Marshall McGuire’s virtuosity as a harp player and yet, except for a few tracks scattered amongst the 47 on offer, there is not much that is readily recognisable as being well known.

in 2012, playing the keyboard works by George Frideric Handel and finding a new audience for this music through videos, concerts and alternative stages and platforms.

‘Handel At The Piano’ was well received at home and abroad, leading to the prestigious Amsterdam Prize in 2012, concerts worldwide and a release on Sony Classical. Next to her concert engagements, Daria developed the Talk & Play presentation, in which she invites audiences to listen to music and rethink structures. She presents it at universities, companies and stages such as TED – Ideas worth spreading.

In her latest foray, she has delved into the beauty of the Mozart Piano Sonatas. The phrase ‘Mozart in the morning’ has never been more apt than in this expose which includes the Sonatas K 332, K 282 and K 331. The Fantasie in

C Minor K 396 provides a darker and haunting interlude between the sonatas and for me, was the highlight of the disc. The clarity and precision of her playing is simply outstanding.

The F Major sonata sparkles with clean and crisp tempi throughout whereas the opening movement of the A Major sonata is portrayed as a free flowing and graceful monologue and yet, her attention to detail remains unwavering.

The extra little flourishes in the Rondo Alla Turca are not to be missed either.

Best enjoyed at 5:30am in the darkness and stillness of the morning. Coffee optional. This is a brilliant CD. Get on board with Daria... she has only just begun to tell us her story in her own unique way. Pianists like her are the way forward and they deserve our support. There are some great videos of her on YouTube as well. - Frank Shostakovich

But the rest, alas, is so obscure that unless you are a harp aficionado the excerpts can hardly sustain one’s interest for very long. There are modern composers aplenty – Cage, Koehne, Sculthorpe, Britten, Part, Glanville-Hicks and Vine….and that’s just on the first of the CDs. The problem is that most of the music McGuire has on offer is either arranged for harp by himself or by others. Which means that the music on show here was originally written for other instruments and transitions are not always best served by new settings.

Plus, the offerings go back to recordings made as far back as 1994 with the most recent made in 2006. So what we are listening to has already been aired and is in all probability old hat!

However, Marshall McGuire’s artistry still shines through. - Fulton Myers

One great composer with three splendid pianists – some on their own, some performing on two pianos and a third volume showing what six hands on two pianos sound like. There are useful musical and texture descriptions of the music as well as who’s playing what and when.

Leslie Howard knows what it’s like to be involved with mammoth piano projects with his Liszt project now successfully completed. The Proms in London one year included the Grieg Piano Concerto performed by Grainger. How could this have been so as he’d been dead for years? Ever resourceful in their programming the organisers had produced a life-size cardboard cutout of Grainger and they’d also found a piano roll with Grainger performing the solo part. Could have been a nightmare for the conductor! Until then Grainger was mostly a name to me. Jump forward to this particular three volume, five CD recording and I’m captivated and find it difficult not to be listening continually at

home and in the car.

Whilst I’m indulging myself in the delicious, sumptuous harmonies, chromatic and otherwise which are thrown up, one has to appreciate and be reminded of the better known and much loved works which appear. Most of the works are short and so very listenable, and particularly attractive are Shepherd’s Hey, Molly on the Shore, Irish Tune from County Derry (better known as Danny Boy), Handel on the Strand and The Gum-Suckers March.

There are lots of strange titles from a composer who was considered eccentric but very loveable.

What does ‘Arrival Platform Humlet’ mean and how is it conveyed ? And look out for the rich orchestral texture of the longer six hands works.

The collection shows a composer at his most energetic, his most poetic, his most reflective and we can be thankful to Leslie Howard for showing the initiative in producing these recordings. - Emyr Evans

Here at Fine Music 102.5 we’re delighted to know that Alicia Crossley is developing her prowess as a creditable musician. Last year she was awarded the Kruger Scholarship, our prestigious prize, and judging by the appearance of this CD she is moving forward with great confidence to fulfil her aspirations.

Not many people are closely familiar with the bass recorder and Alicia has seized the challenge of producing a formidable and fascinating programme involving the tenor recorder and the bass which appears only in the Bach.

Among the music is Bach Cello Suite, Telemann’s Fantasia 10, Anne Boyd’s Goldfish through Summer Rain, Debussy’s Syrinx, Takemitsu’s Toward the Sea and JacobTV’s Garden of Love, a considerable contrast to other works and inspired by natural rhythms and melodies that occur with spoken words.

Beczala regales us with. I say regales because this album is a feast of singing. Beczala is at times either lyrical, forceful, dramatic or beguiling (sometimes all of them!) and very convincing in his pronunciation of the French language. I was lucky to interview Beczala about two years ago and he showed then his proficiency in the English language. This time round he displays his versatility with French… well, at least, in pronouncing it. Beczala seems to revel in the arias he has chosen. Massenet is represented (including Pourquoi me reveiller from ‘Werther’), an absolutely hypnotic version of Donizetti’s Ange si pur (also known as Spirito gentil) from ‘La Favorita’ and there are arias from Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ and Gounod’s

These are Volumes 4 and 5 in a five CD series issued by Tall Poppies devoted to the Cantigas de Santa Maria. These songs were collated by scholars under the supervision of King Alfonso X of Castile (reigned 1252-1284); the King himself may have composed some of them. The texts of the songs are in Galician, a language (obviously derived from Latin) much used in Spain in the Middle Ages for literary purposes. Most of the songs recount miracles attributed to the Virgin; others are songs in her praise. To modern ears, some of the narratives sound merely quaint, such as one about a woman gambler who, in disgust, threw her

performance involves breath control. The fluency of the melodic line can easily be affected and the intonation is not always secure particularly with the arrival of long notes at cadence points.

The playing on the tenor is controlled with lots of musical shaping and the playing overall produces impressive articulation. That articulation is commendable throughout and contributes to some great control in the many embellishments sometimes sounding like a flutter tonguing.

Alicia has travelled extensively throughout Australia and there is no doubt that in this CD she shows great passion for the music, and one hopes that current composers will produce copious amounts of music for her. She deserves it!

Harp and guitar add some pleasant accompaniments to the recorder and overall the CD is worthy of a valuable place in the recorder repertoire. - EE

remaining money at a statue of the Virgin after she had lost most of it gambling; others, such as one about a Jew who defecated on a statue of the Virgin, racist and repulsive. Some of the songs are presented purely as instrumental pieces without vocalists; others are delivered in a sort of sprech-stimme without a definite vocal line. The music is pleasant and easy to listen to, but serious students of these songs who want to get into grips with them will have to do a lot of homework before they can understand the very detailed notes about these songs that have been written

by Winsome Evans. It is very gratifying that musicians in Australia have reached a standard that enables them to offer such accomplished performances of this difficult music. All the singers have voices of good quality and display fine musicianship; the instrumental playing is, to my untutored ear in this music, very virtuosic. - Richard Gate May 2015

JAZZ CD REVIEWS DISCOURSE WITH JEANNIE MCINNES

Who Am I? Rob.E.Thomas Regal Records RR00044

It is often said that it takes years to become an overnight success, and so it is for Rob Thomas to produce his first full album. With a top 10 hit in the 1960s as Bobbie Thomas and the Beaumen, a lifetime of singing as well as acting (Les Mis, Aspects of Love), and as with many musicians, a day job to fit in as well, it has taken years for it all to come together in one outstanding album. And if it is going to take this long to come to fruition, then it is worth going all out on the production – all producing to an exciting listening experience.

Thomas says of his choice of music, that he has selected songs that make him want to sing, choosing them according to the story at their heart and the way they made him feel. The 13 songs come from a variety of songbooks, such

That’s what CD reviews are about, though, giving you the chance to listen through the ears of another before searching out the music, as indeed is radio in giving you a wide range of listening pleasure without the effort of searching out and choosing each track.

Tenor saxophonist Julien Wilson has been on the Australian jazz scene for the past two decades and has appeared on more than 50 records with over 20 as leader. This small group album features Wilson on 18

as Rodgers and Hart’s She Was Too Good To Me written in 1930, Kern and Fields The Way You Look Tonight which won an academy award in 1936, through songs from My Fair Lady in the 1950s, Trent and Hatch’s Who Am I? from the 1960s and even songs from the Carpenters and Jimmy Webb. Also included is a Motown hit from 1963, which Thomas originally recorded in 1967 and has now included in this album. All are highly expressive – you can hear him singing from the heart and from life’s experiences.

Adding to the experience is the big band sound of 22 of Australia’s leading musicians assembled by Graham Jesse and including the wonderful piano of Dave MacRae, Sydney Big Band leader Ralph Pyl, trombonist Dave Panichi who spent years in New York working with performers such as Buddy Rich and Mel Torme, and the remarkable bandleader and composer Ed Wilson, to name just a few. With such a

wealth of talent on one album and playing the arrangements of Jesse and Wilson, the music flows from beginning to end with a range of feelings from contemplative to exciting, all in an exceedingly listenable grouping.

Rob Thomas can be heard on 102.5 at midday every Saturday and on Fine Music digital jazz.

In celebrating the centenary of the birth of Billie Holiday, I went searching for more recent releases of her recordings. The great find was this collection of releases from the last decade of Holiday’s music, beginning with remasters of 78rpms from 1952 through to her last albums just months before her death in 1959. While many consider her early 1930s recordings with band-leaders such as Benny Goodman to be her best, by the 1950s she was full of character and intensity, singing with an emotional delivery that made her one of the most recognisable voices of the 20th century. It has often been acknowledged that in her earlier recording career, Holiday was seldom given first rate songs, but when Norman Granz brought her into the Verve stable, she was given some of the greatest songs from the jazz songbooks along with the studio backing of the leading musicians such as Harry Sweets Edison, Charlie Shavers, Ben Webster, Kenny Burrell, Ray Brown and Oscar

Peterson, and that is what we hear in this set. There are probably about 50 musicians included on the 100 tracks, all of which are studio recordings. They range from swinging dance tunes to the more mournful ballads, all recorded under the best conditions, arranged chronologically and delivered in characteristic Holiday style. As she herself said, “You have to live with my tunes. When I sing a song it’s got to mean something to me, something I’ve had to live. Otherwise I can’t sing”. And live it she does in these songs. They are a wonderful way to appreciate why Billie Holiday was and is considered one of the jazz greats, and why the musicians held her in such esteem with her phrasing being that of an instrumentalist rather than just singing the lyrics.

This is a six CD set presented in a metal tin with a 60-page book giving full discography, photographs and background information.

both tenor and clarinet, Barney McAll, grand piano, Jonathan Zwartz, acoustic bass and Allan Browne, drums and cymbals. All are leading musicians and composers individually. McAll worked and recorded in New York for over a decade, is an ARIA winner and has been awarded several fellowships, Zwartz has worked with leading Australian and international musicians and won numerous awards, and Browne has been one of the main players on the Melbourne jazz scene, his music ranging from the early New Orleans jazz tunes to the very contemporary.

Recorded in 2013, this album contains nine tracks, three are Julien Wilson compositions while the others are from the leading American jazz composers such as Duke Ellington, Harry Warren, Ray Henderson and Comden and Green. This is a collection of beautifully laid back music, the sort

to enjoy later at night rather than in the middle of the day. It has a true small group sound, where each musician is given the room to stretch and expand their playing, but where the combination is greater than the parts. While it is an Australian group, the recording sits firmly in the international scene.

RETURN OF A LEGENDARY ORCHESTRA THE COUNT BASIE 80TH ANNIVERSARY

major motion picture Cinderfella starring the great comedic actor Jerry Lewis. It became a box office hit, Mr Basie and his orchestra became a household name and the touring schedule and demand increased greatly. Other associations at this time included Frank Sinatra and Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, and it went to even greater heights. “It is this period of the 1960s that the orchestra truly became unmatched in precision, dynamics, intonation, and deep and consistent swing. We are still there,” said Barnhart.

Continuing the legacy While all the musicians have individual careers, they all love Count Basie and the CBO, so they all want to keep that special sound. When they play Moten Swing from 1935, April In Paris from 1954, The Wind Machine from 1979, or one of the new arrangements from 2014, leader Scotty Barnhart listens for very specific things that help keep them “honest” in how they play, such as dynamics, correct tempos, balance, and their sophisticated swagger.

The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra

Celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra is sharing the fun by embarking on a tour of Australia and New Zealand. First working under the CBO name in 1935 when Basie took over Bennie Moten’s band following his death, it has continued playing and remained fresh for the past eight decades.

The orchestra was led by William “Count” Basie himself until his passing in 1984 and since by six others including Thad Jones, Frank Foster and now Scotty Barnhart. There are still two members hired by Basie in the 1980s as well as highly experienced musicians who have worked in other great jazz orchestras.

are necessary to keep our sound and our unparalleled way of swing.”

Barnhart took time from his busy schedule to talk to Fine Music magazine about the upcoming tour. He said the CBO keep the freshness and momentum going out of their love and deepest respect for what Mr Basie represented and achieved.

Another high point was when Basie reorganised the orchestra in 1952 after having to disband it in 1948 and use a small group for a few years.

When he put the new orchestra together, The New Testament Orchestra, things really began to take on a higher level of performance and refinement and the orchestra was introduced to more international audiences.

“All of us in the orchestra have admired this orchestra from the very first time we heard it and we realised its importance in the world of jazz and music in general,” said Barnhart.

“As Director, I make it a point to make sure we always have the right musicians with the proper level of understanding what makes the orchestra unique and what elements

This includes a combination of introducing new arrangements, varying the set list each night, and giving each musician enough solo space also helps to keep it fresh and exciting.

Historical moments Over the years there have been numerous high points, including the band’s arrival in New York around 1937. They were the most talked about orchestra as they displayed their unique and fresh approach to 4/4 swing and showed that a big band could also be relaxed.

“Recordings such as April In Paris in 1954 and others to follow during this period through the 1950s put the orchestra in a position of being rivaled only by The Duke Ellington Orchestra in truly representing the very best,” said Barnhart.

In the early 1960s, the orchestra appeared in a

Fifty-year-old Barnhart began playing at age nine and claims the CBO and particularly trumpeter Freddie Hubbard as his first major influence.

He saw the band twice as a young man and now says that all jazz musicians, particularly trumpeters, became his serious passion. So much so that he authored a book on it - The World of Jazz Trumpet – A Comprehensive History and Practical Philosophy.

In their Australian tour, the Count Basie Orchestra is bringing 80 years of the most swinging and exciting jazz orchestra in history, and their unmistakable foot tapping quality.

There will be selections spanning each decade of the orchestra and every musician will be featured at least once.

“The audience should expect to have a good time, as we surely do each time we perform, and they can also expect to leave with a smile on their faces and feeling a little bit better about life in general,” said Barnhart. “A few of the highlights will be how we can play softer than any other jazz orchestra in the world, and then a split second later we are at full volume while never losing the original tempo that I count off.

“Of course, there are more and we’ll save those for the concert,” he said.

Can’t wait to experience the CBO in Australiahope they play Cute.

MAY PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS THE WAYWARD DAUGHTER Saturday, 2 May 3-5.30pm The titivating title of our Saturday afternoon program is fully intended to lure you to listen.

What you will hear is a complete performance of much loved ballet La Fille Mal Gardee (The Poorly Guarded Girl), one of the oldest and most important works of the modern ballet repertoire. Originally a pastiche of music based on 55 popular French songs first performed in 1789 at the Grand Theatre de Bordeaux, a new version of La Fille Mal Gardee appeared in 1828 to the music of Ferdinand Herold. The ballet continued to evolve and, in 1960, a version by choreographer Frederick Ashton and conductor and composer John Lanchbery was premiered in the Royal Opera House, based on the Herold score adapted and added to by John Lanchbery.

LIVE AND LOCAL: CARL PINI PLAYS BEETHOVEN Thursday, 7 May 8–9.30pm Recorded live for Fine Music by Kerry Joyner, this program of early Beethoven music is in two parts. In Part 1, noted Australian violinist Carl Pini plays three sonatas, composed between 1797and 1801, accompanied by pianist Julie Haskell. The second part of the program, Beethoven for Four, is a performance of Beethoven’s String Quartet in G, op 18 no 2 (c.1800) by Members of the Australia Ensemble.

HOLLAND’S MUSICAL EXPORT: Ton Koopman Friday, 8 May 2-4pm Born in October 1942, Dutch conductor, organist and harpsichordist, Ton Koopman, is recognised primarily for his specialisation in the music of the Baroque, especially by JS Bach, and his establishment of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra in 1979. In 2005, Koopman completed a major project to record all of Bach’s cantatas with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir. He then turned to recording the complete works of Bach’s predecessor, Buxtehude, completing this project in November 2014.

Since 2011, he has been Artist in Residence with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. Today’s program includes Koopman conducting the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra in JS Bach’s Double concerto in D minor, BWV1043 (1730-31), the Flute Concerto in D minor by C P E Bach and Mozart’s Symphony no 39 in E flat, K543 (1788), as well as examples of Koopman as harpsichord soloist in works by Germiniani and Monteverdi.

CONTEMPORARY CONDUCTORS: Daniel Barenboim Tuesday, 12 May 2-4pm Daniel Barenboim, pianist and conductor, needs no introduction. He is without doubt one of

Aaron Copland

the leading musicians of the second half of the twentieth century. This afternoon’s program features some of his most famous recordings as a conductor, including violinist Pinchas Zukerman playing Vaughan Williams’ exquisite The Lark Ascending with the English Chamber Orchestra and Jacqueline du Pre’s famous performance of Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor, op 85 (1919).

DIVERSIONS IN FINE MUSIC: Artist of Choice – Mischa Maisky Tuesday, 19 May 9-10.30am If, like me, you were unable to be in Sydney last month to hear the wonderful Mischa Maisky perform live at the Sydney Conservatorium in Musica Viva’s Festival, this morning’s program provides an opportunity to hear him in a varied program of works. These include Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra, op 33 (1876) and Haydn’s Cello Concerto No 1 in C, as well as music by Mendelssohn, Richard Strauss, Schumann and Brahms. Maisky, born in Riga, Latvia in January 1948, studied at both the Leningrad Conservatory and, under Mstislav Rostropovich, at the Moscow Conservatory. Now 67 years old, he is renowned for the energy and authority of his musicianship, his vast discography and the musical friendships and partnerships forged with many of the greatest soloists and conductors of the last 50 years.

DIVERSIONS IN FINE MUSIC: Composer focus: Aaron Copland Thursday, 21 May 9-10.30am Aaron Copland (1900 – 1990), American composer, teacher, writer and conductor, was born in Brooklyn, New York City, to a conservative Jewish family of Lithuanian origins. Drawing on his European origins and absorbing a vast array of other influences including the immense classical knowledge of his teacher, Nadia Boulanger and folk music, jazz, Stravinsky and later Schoenberg, he became the iconic composer of twentieth century American

GOODBYE, FAREWELL Friday, 29 May3-4pm Whimsically titled, this program roams over the music of farewell, with varied songs and short pieces by artists including The King’s Singers, Jose Carreras, Dietrich Fischer-Diskau and the Macquarie Trio.

Enraged that he does not respond, she persuades his best friend Sesto, who is in love with her, to murder Tito and share the throne with her. He sets fire to the Roman Capitol and in the confusion rumours of Tito’s death spread. A conspirator is arrested, implicates Sesto who refuses to implicate Vitellia and is condemned to death in the Colosseum. Tito cannot bring himself to sign his friend’s death warrant, and is about to pardon Sesto, when Vitellia confesses. Tito pardons her as well, displaying his famous clemency.

Agnes Baltsa Don Carlos, heir to the Spanish throne, is betrothed to Elisabetta of Valois, the French Princess. They fall in love on sight, but are frustrated when King Filippo II, Carlos’ father, marries her. Rodrigo, Marquis of Posa, Carlos’ friend, suggests Carlos join him in assisting the oppressed people of Flanders. Eboli, who has been rejected by Carlos, informs her lover King Filippo of Carlos’ continuing love for Elisabetta. During an auto-da-fe by the Inquisition, Carlos and deputies from Flanders beg the King for mercy but Carlos is arrested. Filippo, in turmoil, turns to the Grand Inquisitor, who requests Rodrigo’s arrest. When Rodrigo visits Carlos, he is shot by the King’s guards, but not before arranging a meeting between Carlos and the Queen at the tomb of Charles V. The King finds them, hands his son over to the Inquisition, but a mysterious monk, perhaps the ghost of the great Emperor, leads Carlos to safety.

Figaro and Susanna, servants of the Count, are to be married but Susanna suspects the Count wants to seduce her. Cherubino, a page, tells Susanna he loves women, especially the Countess. The Count arrives to proposition Susanna, Cherubino hides, but is found by the Count. When the Count punishes Cherubino by sending him to his regiment, the Countess and Susanna disguises him as a girl so he can stay. When they hear the Count arrive, Cherubino hides in a closet. The Count, suspicious of his wife, determines to open the door, but Susanna manages to change places with Cherubino. Marcellina, a housekeeper, alleges that Figaro borrowed money from her on a promise of marriage but is found to be to be Figaro’s mother. Eventurally, the Count sees the problems of his flirtations and Figaro and Susanna are married at last.

waiting for the prophet Samuel. Samuel curses Saul for impiety. Saul’s son, Jonathan, introduces his shepherd friend David, whose harp-playing eases the king’s distress. The Philistine captain Goliath challenges the Israelites to send a champion against him.

David sets out armed only with his sling and returns victorious. Jealous of David’s new popularity, Saul banishes him. David creeps into Saul’s tent at night, proving his loyalty by refusing to kill him. The dying Samuel is brought in and anoints David, but Saul refuses to relinquish power. Saul asks the witch of Endor to raise the ghost of Samuel, who prophesies Saul’s death. The Philistines overrun the camp, killing Jonathan and his brothers.

Saul falls on his sword and David is proclaimed king.
