BACH VIOLIN CONCERTOS RICHARD TOGNETTI

Richard Tognetti. Image credit: Jack Saltmiras.

Imagine a lone violinist standing on stage.

He performs JS Bach’s ‘Preludio’ from the Violin Partita No.3. The orchestra enters and, with the violinist, performs Bach’s charming Second Violin Concerto. Another violinist appears on stage. The two soloists delve into the contemplative world of D minor and play Bach’s conversational Double Concerto.

A third violinist appears and from D minor the orchestra moves to D major and Bach’s glorious Concerto for Three Violins.

This would be enough for most ensembles; a layering exploration of Bach’s violin works to delight the mind and the audience. But the ACO is not just any ensemble. And Richard Tognetti is not just any violinist.

Brilliance makes audiences keep returning to the ACO but it is the unknown factor that makes the orchestra truly addictive. One fears missing out on knowing, say, how the ACO will interpret Mozart’s last symphonies or how Verdi’s String Quartet will sound arranged for string orchestra. In that vein, it almost feels like cheating to ask Richard Tognetti how he has arranged the solo violin ‘Preludio’.

He chuckles as he answers, ‘You know how Bach can be really funky,’ and then, singing the theme, goes on to explain that, ‘there’s 2

something Country and Western, very folky, about it like when [the ACO] did this fantastic program with Danny Spooner, the great folk singer, and Mike Kerin, the guns fiddler from Slim Dusty’s band… I wanted to get some classical music that sort of crossed over and so I made this arrangement.’ So the lone violinist becomes the lone fiddler and Bach gets to know of life in Cork.

As someone reknown for his interpretation of the composer, it is interesting to understand how Tognetti perceives Bach. Asked to describe him in three words, Tognetti gives the perhaps surprising answer of ‘Terror, redemption and elevation’. He is quick to explain: ‘The extraordinary thing about Bach is that he is the most well-travelled and the least travelled physically. We all know that Handel was well-travelled, Mozart was well-travelled, Mendelssohn was well-traveled. Bach only got as far, famously, as Lübeck to listen to Buxtehude but his music has travelled more than any other composer and I think that’s probably because of those three words, terror, redemption and elevation. He can write just the simplest of pop tunes. He writes the best ear worms and then the most complex expressions in music as well’.

Part of Bach’s complexity derives from his mastery of polyphony, a musical device where several musical lines are heard simultaneously.

The interdependence of the lines, a feature of the double and triple concerti, the way they play off one another, has inspired several thinkers to apply the concept of polyphony to the sociopolitical world. Does Tognetti look for such extra-musical significance? He provides a considered answer.

‘Look, as far as I can tell, polyphony only works in music. I know that Glenn Gould tried with his radio experiment to create polyphonic conversations but they don’t work, they end up being performance art and it’s very hard to really process more than one, at the most two conversations. But in music you are able to process the whole rather than just the parts. It’s the sum of the parts, this symbiotic interaction, that’s the key to polyphony. It’s a lack of hierarchy, an egalitarianism in its sense of responsibility. So each melodic strand, each organism, let’s call it, has it’s own voice but it’s only brought to life through interaction with the other voices and so there’s no dominant voice, one over the other. So sure, it indicates or can be a representation of, many different things. I mean there is a sociopolitical structure; as soon as you are dealing with

polyphony you are dealing with other people so a sociopolitical structure does build. Look at a simple canon which is the most glorious form of polyphony for the average listener, you really are relying on the subsequent voice and then you become the subsequent voice, so there’s a circular thing… it is democracy, the wisdom of the crowd at work, without any question’.

To perceive the whole, one can listen to a recording, but to marvel visually at the way the parts combine is the privilege of live music.

Like a democracy, the ACO is privileged to boast not one but three great leaders. Joining Tognetti will be Helena Rathbone and Satu Vänskä, both wonderful soloists who are sure to create a most enlivened organism.

What then of the concert program? Whose music will be chosen to enhance Bach? In October last year it was Vivaldi who danced amidst his tunes, but for this concert, Tognetti turns to Haydn. He is vague as to why he chose

Terror, redemption and elevation…

”

”

the composer, saying only that he ‘doesn’t like too strong a narrative, because it’s the ambiguity in music that makes it so wonderful’, but more explicit about his selection of the two symphonies. Haydn’s symphonies number 22 and 27 have been chosen because for Tognetti they represent ‘the known and the unknown’. ‘I grew up with No. 22 (The Philosopher) deeply imbedded in my spirit,’ Tognetti explains. ‘The instrumentation is extraordinary, the key is extraordinary. We don’t know why it’s called The Philosopher. From the last research I did, it wasn’t Haydn who chose the epithet, but it must be something to do with that extraordinary first movement.’

By that, Tognetti is referring to the two cors anglais (a more than unusual instrument selection) who converse with two horns. The violins are muted and the basses tick like a clock; the philosopher is lost in thought as the day passes by. In contrast to this ‘known’ symphony, Tognetti has selected the ‘unknown’ 27. The symphony is thought to be misnumbered; its form suggesting that it is an earlier work than The Philosopher. In three movements, the work is both bright and sweet and Tognetti relishes putting it against Bach and Haydn’s other work.

The remaining piece in the program provides a chance to hear the glorious cello sonority of Timo-Veikko Valve. The Sarabande from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 4 lilts with dotted rhythms and is enriched by a chordal texture.

Like a good piece of rhetoric, the piece is made in its delivery, the timing shaped by the soloist. Given the prevalence of soloists in the

Image credit: 2014 c. Jack Saltmiras program, one wonders whose talents Tognetti thinks a solo work displays: the performer or the composer? ‘The thing is,’ Tognetti begins, ‘in days of old, in Bach’s time, it was actually the performer’s job to change the music and it was just a kind of skeleton, but it’s both of course. It’s a symbiotic relationship … without the performer the composer doesn’t exist and then if the performer starts improvising, then you’re a composer, in a certain way. But clearly the one who created it is the genius, there’s no question about that.’

The ACO then, it can be said, makes good this symbiosis. It triumphs composers, new and old, but is not afraid to adapt and explore. The folkified Bach ‘Preludio’ is just one example of Tognetti courting a composer but there is so much music that the ACO has brought to light through its arrangements. It is that aforementioned ‘unknown’ factor, attractive to both Tognetti and audiences alike.

With Tognetti referring to ‘Bach’s time’ it is interesting to wonder what Bach and Haydn would recognise in the world today. Tognetti believes that they would find humanity much unchanged. That may be because they were not composers who reflected on a political currency. Haydn’s music may take its epithets from a contextual awareness but the music transcends the epithet, which is why it continues to be performed today.

One can ponder, though, what the motifs of a contemporary piece titled The Philosopher would be. To observe our philosophers is to suppose that the music would be infused with the political. Or, if one takes the line of the band Death, the music would need to question what it is that can be known.

The knowable and the unknowable, the known and the unknown – these are motifs

that weave their way through music and the psyche. In balance, these paradigms delight and excite. Tognetti can be inspired to program Haydn’s 27th Symphony and audiences can be exposed to new music or old music reborn. On a deeper level, the known and the unknown are brought into confluence in music. The vision of a composer is separated into individual instrumental parts and brought back together through performance. The cello now knows of the oboe, the first violin of the second.

This is true of all music but it is the wonder of polyphony. Thus the ACO’s audiences will be treated to watching how the parts combine, as that lone violinist joins the orchestra before another peer is added, then another. If the music is familiar go, and if not - be brave. For what is unknown can only become known if you dare.

TOPPING THE CHARTS 225 YEARS ON: WHY WE STILL LOVE MOZART

In 2016 this artist topped the charts with the bestselling album of the year. It wasn’t Kayne or Adele or any other pop artist of the day. It was WA Mozart. To celebrate his 225th anniversary year, Decca Classics and Deutsche Grammophon, in partnership with the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation, released a Mozart box set covering the composer’s entire output. This limited edition has 240 hours of benchmark performances from 600 world class artists and state-of-theart sound recordings. The box set, retailing at around $660 contains 200 CDs, plus more. The popularity of this release begs the question, “Why do we still love Mozart?”

Stylistically, Mozart’s development closely paralleled the development of the classical style as a whole. He was a versatile composer and wrote for almost every major genre, including the symphony, opera, concerto, chamber music with string quartets and quintets, and piano sonatas that have been cherished by audiences for years. There’s elegance, grace and beauty in his music, perfect symmetry and delightful melodies. Mozart was able to let his musical imagination reign free, capturing lyrical and tender melodies that float into the listener’s ear with such ease and which please his audiences. I’ll take a look at a few of his masterpieces to shed some light on why we still love Mozart.

Serenade No. 13 Eine Kleine Nacht-Musik K.525 Translated as a “little night music”, this string serenade opens with the ascending “Mannheim Rocket” (a swiftly ascending passage). The work is Mozart’s most famous

“passion, violence and grief.” Strikingly, this is only one of two minor key symphonies that Mozart composed, and it has been deemed “one of his greatest works.” The opening begins with the violas playing an accompaniment figure only - the first time that Mozart had done this and later employed in his piano concerto. This technique soon became a favourite for the Romantic composers who were to follow.

Piano Trio in C Major, K.458 Mozart, more than any other composer, took the Piano Trio out of its domestic setting. During his lifetime he composed five piano trios and each elevates the role of the violin and cello to more than accompaniment figures, with each having their own independent place.

Mozart wrote the piano part to play himself and you can hear in this work that he was writing for his own enjoyment as the pianist, as well as that of the audience. I particularly love the third movement of this work, a rondo in 6/8 that is both profound and witty at the same time. The piano sits at the core of this delightful and engaging trio.

We love Mozart because his music explores the innermost workings of the soul, yet at the same time it is outward in its projection, shining a bright ray of optimism to those who listen to it. His music contains perfectly balanced phrases and light accompaniment that support gorgeous melodies that are delicate and nuanced, freely floating and transcending as though sent directly from the heavens. This collection of Mozart’s works celebrates his genius, his immortality and the legend that has made him one of the most loved and popular figures of classical music. I know what I want for my birthday next month …

Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K.622 You know that moment when you feel elevated and inspired? Well, that’s the effect of Mozart’s understanding of harmony. The perfectly crafted lyrical musical line in this work spills forth like liquid honey; and the melody gently unfolds over symmetrical musical ideas. The clarinet never stands out, but at all times blends with the strings

(it may have helped that it was a popular Nokia mobile phone ringtone in the 1990s), and the work’s four extant movements seem to offer a compendium of classical music in a nutshell. Without knowing what occasion the work was composed for, we can assume that it may have been written for an indoor or small outdoor social gathering.

in an engaging dialogue. Mozart’s use of the chromatic melody line demonstrates his leaning towards the ultimate expression of passion. Seamless, lyrical and so tender are these moments that transport us to another place.

WHY I LOVE MUSIC - ANGELA COCKBURN I grew up near Manchester.

Occasionally BBC television would broadcast an opera - in black and white, of course. Amahl and the Night Visitors was a regular at Christmas, and I was obliged to watch it, which was a big mistake, since I was far too young and too middle class to understand the mother’s dilemma – should she steal the gold meant for the Christ Child?

(Starvation, her other option, was something odd that only happened to children in India when I didn’t want to finish my dinner).

One year they showed Madame Butterfly, still black and white. My grandmother and I stuck it out until in Act 2 Butterfly sang the line: Would you like an American cigarette?

At that point we looked at each other, and by unspoken consent, turned the TV off.

Manchester was the home of the Hallé Orchestra, and, progressively for the time, they gave annual schools’ concerts.

Unfortunately these usually featured the

Hallé at its sludgiest, wedged in the Victorian tradition, with John Barbirolli at the helm dragging it into the modern era, but probably not at school matinées. One year, however, after a programme clearly designed for the Mayor and the music teachers, they played an encore: Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumble Bee. Orchestras could play fast, and be funny. Wonderful!

My mother gradually picked up that the geography teacher who was also teaching me piano wasn’t doing a very good job. She found me a new teacher. He was a pianist.

He was about nineteen. He was gorgeous.

He lived on top of an elegant Lloyds Bank building. And he gave me a book of real music simplified for easy playing. That took me up to a respectable Grade 3 before arthritis and A levels cut in more or less together. A love affair with music (not, alas, the gorgeous pianist) had begun.

Manchester was lucky in that it had a couple of major theatres that could mount the larger productions on the touring circuit. Every year the D’Oyly Carte Company played Gilbert and Sullivan to packed houses, and that’s

what got me hooked on music theatre and singing complicated comic plots - Sullivan’s lush melodies and Gilbert’s ability to rhyme English over three syllables. Unbeatable!

I saw an Australian singer for the first time in Manchester: a rotund Donald Smith, decked out unkindly in a white uniform with a wide scarlet satin sash around his middle, singing Don José in Carmen very well. I was more impressed by the smoking chorus, which in those days featured real cigarettes and smoke. And none of the chorus coughed!

I went to uni – studying drama, not music – and rapidly found a flatmate and friends in the very active music department. There was the boyfriend who sat on his tuba case when the train was crowded; and the boyfriend I helped push and pull a fortepiano up three flights of winding stairs; and David Munrow organising authentic instruments for our drama productions...

Then Australia, and a new life, and singing, and oh, so much more music.

TRIBUTE TO DAVID RUMSEY

David Rumsey, notable Australian organist and teacher, and regular organist with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for 25 years, has died in Basel, Switzerland, his home since 2000.

From 1974, David was instrumental in building the music capacity of the first stereo FM community station in Australia, 2MBS-FM (now known as “Fine Music 102.5”). He was a member of the Board of the governing Cooperative from its formation until November 1975, and was the station’s Music Coordinator from the beginning, also engaging his colleagues from the NSW Conservatorium.

Born in Sydney, David began organ studies as a schoolboy in 1954. In 1962 he graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music with diplomas in teaching and performance, as well as with the Student of the Year prize. Under the Vasarata scholarship he went overseas to study with, amongst others, Gustav Leonhardt and Marie-Claire Alain, and at the Vienna Musik-Akademie with Anton Heiller. In 1966 he graduated with the Akademie’s Reifepruefung.

After a spell teaching at the Elder Conservatorium at the University of Adelaide in 1966 and 1967, David returned to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where, in 1976, he was appointed foundation chairman of the Department of Organ and Church Music. Between 1980 and 1988, he was Director of Music at St Alban’s Church, Epping, writing two settings for the Australian Prayer Book Communion Service.

During his several European tours, David “discovered” the Fuerer organ, built in 1968 for the Church of the Redeemer, WittenAnnen, West Germany. On this organ he recorded a recital of baroque music which was later released as Deus ex Machina, the Station’s first venture into LP recording.

Although the Station’s Official Opening was marked with a dinner on 1 February, 1975, transmissions had actually begun on 15 December 1974. It took over a year (and a move to 76 Chandos St, St Leonards from temporary premises at Alexander St, Crows Nest) to enable us to begin broadcasting twenty-four hours a day. After its opening, 2MBS-FM slowly built up its transmission hours until it was able to broadcast around the clock from August 1976. In June 1975, therefore, David devised an opening signal on a Moog Synthesiser, enabling listeners to distinguish left and right channels, check

channel separation and speaker phase, amongst other things.

For the Official Opening, David and his Conservatorium colleague Vincent Plush prepared From Static to Stereo, a “radio documentary” of broadcasting history, beginning with the voice of Thomas Edison (recorded in 1908) and ending with a recent stereo recording of Berlioz’s Symphony Fantastique by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra under Willem van Otterloo.

The Program Guide, originally titled Stereo FM Radio, had a bumpy ride in its transition from its first edition in February, 1975, which caused a stir amongst listeners and subscribers ranging from excitement through disappointment to blank horror. Over time, the station has achieved greater balance in its programming from these early days.

Late last year, David Rumsey and Howard Cocks were both guests of the station and inducted into the Silver Circle in recognition of their early work in laying down the foundations for Australia’s first Community Radio Station.

FINE MUSIC OPENS LEARNING CENTRE scheduled in this series for the rest of the year.

Board Chair Janine Burrus and Federal MP for North Sydney Trent Zimmerman.

There was much excitement at the Fine Music 102.5 premises in St Leonards on Sunday afternoon 19th February when the first official event and opening ceremony were held in the new Learning Centre.

The Fine Music Learning Centre is an initiative of the current Board, which negotiated the purchase of an additional lot adjacent to our new studios in Chandos Street, with the help of generous donations from two of the station’s original Founders.

The launch of the Centre marks a new phase in the station’s contribution to Sydney’s music life. After more than 40 years continuously on-air as an FM broadcaster of classical music and jazz, Fine Music will now be able to provide a venue for presenting a range of programs and activities designed to interest

and engage members of the community in the joys of good music.

The afternoon opened with a welcome by Board Chair Janine Burrus to guests and dignitaries, including Federal MP for North Sydney Trent Zimmerman, and former Prime Minister Bob Hawke and his wife Blanche D’Alpuget. This was followed by a fascinating talk given by Toby Thatcher, the recently appointed young Assistant Conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, titled Upbeats and Downbeats: A conductor’s life. This was the first presentation for the year in the station’s existing series of live monthly talks, Enjoy, Learn, Discuss, which will now have a new home in the Learning Centre. A vote of thanks to Toby was given by Andrew Dziedzic, a Board member involved in this program, who also outlined the speakers and topics

The microphone was then taken by Michael Field, the Chair of the Under 30s Committee, which has been overseeing the plans for future events in the Learning Centre. He gave a tantalising glimpse of a number of programs under development, which include something for people of all ages. An early initiative will be a school holiday offering for primary school age students, giving them a chance in a fun environment to learn how to listen to music. Later sessions are being planned for music performance students and early career musicians, dealing with stagecraft and media skills. We are delighted that renowned music educator Richard Gill has agreed to become involved with the Centre, with presentations for music teachers and school principals about his work on effective music teaching. Many other ideas and options are being considered, including courses on music broadcasting and running a radio station.

The event concluded with a short address by Trent Zimmerman followed by a ceremonial ribbon-cutting and unveiling of the launch plaque. There was much enthusiasm among guests for the Learning Centre as they mingled for photos and refreshments.

FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS

Camille Gheysens

and when Eugene Ormandy expressed interest in them Camille boarded a flying boat on 30 March 1947 bound for the USA. Nothing seems to have come of it and by the following year Camille was residing at 21A Canberra Avenue in Wollstonecraft and applying for a Spirit Merchant’s Licence for his Primrose Trading Co. Another opportunity to have some of his orchestral music performed came in 1956 when Sir Eugene Goossens was studying Camille Gheysens. Portrait by William Dobell. four of Camille’s scores but the former became Camille Clovis Antoine Marcel Gheysens was embroiled in a scandal upon his return born in 1902 at Mouscron in Belgium where to Sydney from London and departed he attended the Conservatoire during his hastily after public humiliation. The scores student years and began composing mainly descriptive piano pieces as a young teenager. disappeared.

It was a habit he pursued all his life, but not a In the following year Camille pestered Sir secure vocation so he found employment as William Dobell to paint his portrait and enter a wool buyer for a French company that sent it in the Archibald Prize. This was done, but him to Australia in 1926.

Camille’s hope for 1st prize was not realised.

His musical output was modest but consistent Nonetheless, Camille was a great admirer and on 7 July 1930 he married violinist and of the painter, having purchased his ‘Boy in state representative chess player Mignon Jodhpurs’ for 600 guineas at the David Jones Frey in Sydney. They sailed to Cairns for Gallery in Sydney in February 1954 and their honeymoon and upon their return were adding ‘Derby Day’ which he would buy for given a reception at the Australia Hotel on 27 900 pounds sterling at Sotheby’s in London in July. With the bride’s sister, pianist Carmel, July 1963. they travelled to Auckland where the girls Clearly, Camille enjoyed the finer things in played a recital and received a very useful life. He was a capable chef who had Rafael sum of money from their father who had been Kubelik as a dinner guest in his home in a prize winner in the NSW Lottery. In April 1958, and he kept composing steadily. Then 1936 husband and wife left their home on 20 from 1963 his musical output increased Bydown Street in Neutral Bay and boarded markedly. This may have had something the RMS Orsava to spend a few months to do with his winning 1st prize in the NSW visiting London and Europe, after which it State Opera House Lottery in March: was back to work.

100,000 pounds Australian plus 750 pounds Camille began composing music for ‘consolation prize’. Besides his occasional instrumental ensembles and for orchestra instrumental and vocal works, Camille

composed at least one piano piece per month for years.

On 1 November 1967 Camille left his home to go on a business trip to Brisbane. When he returned on the morning of 5 November he was shocked to see his house had been burgled. Cameras, binoculars, tape recorders and projectors were missing, but worse, the doors to his upstairs art gallery had been smashed and 38 paintings and sketches (worth some $200,000) had been cut from their frames. Amongst the works stolen were 18 by William Dobell, three by Russell Drysdale, two each by Sidney Nolan, Norman Lindsay and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and one each by Paul Gauguin and Pablo Picasso.

The police were slow to act, so Camille and an insurance company offered a reward of $10,000 for information that would lead to their recovery. Eventually, detectives informed Camille that they had recovered 30 of the works ‘under a tree’ at Centennial Park on the night of 16 January 1968. He deposited a cheque for $7,000 into a National bank account that ostensibly paid an informant but the procedures used by the detectives involved were contrary to standard police practice and they were demoted. In 2009, a criminal admitted to the theft but claimed he did not receive ‘one brass razoo’.

Camille began to compose more orchestral works (including seven symphonies) and two of the orchestral pieces were performed by the National Youth Orchestra conducted by Gordon Day at the Sydney Town Hall on 11 October 1970. The March of the Lost Legion was performed at the same venue in 1986 by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted

by Vladimir Kamirski, some 40 years after its composition.

Stricken with arthritis, Camille considered sending his more than 800 surviving compositions to his home town in Belgium but after he died in Sydney on 26 September in 1987 they were housed in the Mitchell Library.

CD Reviews STRAVINSKY The Firebird, Petrushka, The Rite of Spring Sydney Symphony Orchestra David Robertson

✶✶✶✶ This 2 CD collection from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra includes the three major ballets of Stravinsky all of which were produced between 1910 and 1913. For the Ballets Russe season Diaghilev wanted to create the first Russian Ballett and in the Firebird they searched for a blend of music, design and dance. Stravinsky was not Diaghilev’s first choice – Liadov and Glazunov were also considered. However after Diaghilev had heard Stravinsky’s Scherzo Fantastique and Fireworks of 1909 he was convinced that the commission should be awarded to Stravinsky who at that time was in his late twenties, still a youthful composer at that age. However carrying the responsibility was one almost too burdensome for Stravinsky’s because of his often lack of attention to deadlines.

Twenty one scenes culminating with the

General Rejoicing describe the action with spells, various changes of mood and energetic dances sumptuously depicted in the music.

Petrushka was staged in 1911 and is considered to be the most successful collaboration between Stravinsky and Diaghilev’s Balletts Russe. The puppet was danced by Nijinsky at the original performance and Stravinsky began to sketch the music in 1910 and agreeing with Diaghilev as to the suggested location, centred the action at the Shrovetide Fair, the Mardi Gras in St Petersburg. The work is in four scenes – In a St Petersburg Square, the second tableau is set in Petrouchka’s bare cell, the third tableau opens in the Moor’s magnificently appointed room. Finally back at the Fair, Petrouchka is dramatically struck by a scimitar and dies.

The Rite of Spring was composed for a very large orchestra including double wind instruments, eight horns and five trumpets and we’re very much aware of

the pandemonium which occurred in the Théâtre des Champs-Elysée. Suffice to say that the music was as vibrant and as energetic as the very negative responses of the audience!

All three ballets contain music of great colour and excitement and the CDs need to be added to personal collections without hesitation.

Jazz CD Reviews CAFE SOCIETY Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Sony Classical / Sony Music

889853

✶✶✶✶

Set in New York City in the Jazz Age of 1930s, the film Café Society is a 2016 released romantic comedy by director Woody Allen. It’s a young man’s tale of woe rendered with an old man’s aversion to dawdling over what can’t be helped, over questions of human nature that have long been settled to everyone’s dissatisfaction.The film is narrated by the 80 year old director and the music plays a huge part in the film giving it a

polished, classy and romantic atmosphere.

Generally the film received positive reviews and the 15-song soundtrack features an entertainingly reliable mix of big-band era tunes, with archival recordings such as I Didn’t Know What Time It Was by Benny Goodman & His Orchestra, as well as eight covers by contemporary outfit Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks, who specialise in early swing.Across the film they do piano-led instrumentals ranging from a lively The Lady Is a Tramp to a graceful take on Rodgers & Hart’s Manhattan. Also newly recorded for the film are versions of Out of Nowhere and This Can’t Be Love by the pianist Conal Fowkes.

20 years.The mandolin and piano pairing makes for a beautifully eclectic experience on this hour-long set, spread over two CDs .These Nonesuch Records label mates are two of the most acclaimed current generation musicians in America. Both have separately played in Australia in 2016 – Chris with Punch Brothers in August, and Brad in a duo concert

CHRIS THILE & BRAD MEHLDAU Nonesuch Records 2017

✶✶✶✶

Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau come from different worlds but the same species. Thile is a progressive-bluegrass pacesetter, Mehldau is the most influential jazz pianist of the last

with Joshua Redman as recently as October. At the end of 2015, they played a two-night stand at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom before going into the studio to record this mix of covers and original songs.The meeting of the two masters of their respective realms is a spine-tingling

According to Fowkes he actually recorded 5 tracks for the film, with unfortunately only these two making the soundtrack. Both are gems as is all of the music chosen expertly

by Allen to complement his bijou of a film.

- Barry O’Sullivan triumph – a honky, gutsy, jaunty, darkly witty new musical fusion that is suitably strange yet strangely familiar.The eleven songs dig down into the roots of American music, touching the common ancestry of jazz and country. Alongside some excellent originals including the co-written The Old Shade Tree and the classically inspired Noise Machine are the edgy readings of songs

by Bob Dylan,Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright and the lilting wistful evocative reworking of Joni Mitchell’s Marcie.This is a musical partnership that will definitely endure.

INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY – 30 APRIL 2017 As if to further demonstrate the power of music as a life force, International Jazz Day (IJD) has been an official event on the UNESCO calendar since 2012. It highlights jazz as true world music, with a diplomatic role of uniting people from 195 countries all over the world. It is led by the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, with Herbie Hancock as Ambassador. Last year alone, the IJD live performances, education programs and media coverage reached more than 3 billion people, and we here at Fine Music played a part in that.

Every year a host city delivers major performances for huge audiences, both locally and worldwide via streaming. Last year President Obama welcomed the world to the White House, and there were free performances, education programs and community initiatives all over Washington. The inaugural host city was New Orleans in 2012,

with high school jazz musicians from the USA, South Africa, France and Brazil taking part in a live simulcast. Since then, host cities have been Istanbul, Turkey (2013), Osaka, Japan (2014) and Paris, France (2015).

What takes IJD beyond just the numerous concerts of the day is the strong educational emphasis, with programs including workshops, exhibitions, master classes, dance recitals, film and documentary screenings, theatre and spoken word performances. All this helps bring people together in peace and harmony, sharing a passion for music and a force for freedom and creativity. As documentary maker Ken Burns has said, “Jazz is a spectacularly accurate model of democracy and a kind of look into our redemptive future possibilities”.

Here at Fine Music, we will be presenting jazz from midday till midnight on Sunday 30th April. We begin at 12 noon with our regular

jazz program on 102.5FM, presented by Chris Wetherall, celebrating world jazz. At 1pm we switch to Fine Music Digital, where Jeannie McInnes will present a special program marking the centenary of recorded jazz, featuring music from 1917. The day will continue with performances from our Founders Studio, other Sydney performances recorded by Peter Nelson, and special Jazz Australia programs.

Then at 10pm it will be back to 102.5 to join Kevin Jones for After Hours, his highly popular regular jazz-based late night program. Our full program for the day will be available on our jazz page at www.finemusicfm.com, where, of course, all our programs are available to live stream anywhere in the world without the need of a radio.

Help us celebrate International Jazz Day – listen to Fine Music and support your local musicians and events.
