SONGS & VISTAS - AN ALPINE SYMPHONY

ASHER FISCH’S SYDNEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA DEBUT Whilst his appreciation of Wagner is testament to his time with Barenboim, Fisch’s love for Brahms began much earlier. ‘I grew up in a household,’ says Fisch, ‘with no musicians but with a great love for music, and for my father and my uncle, their greatest love was Brahms. So I was exposed to the music of Brahms very early on and when I started playing the piano I wanted to play Brahms and then, of course, when I became a conductor, even though I dealt with a lot of opera, I always made sure there was a lot of Brahms in the repertoire. I don’t know if it’s something about the Germanic classical, mixed with the Romantic colour that drew me so much to the music, and the mysteriousness and the depths. I always had Brahms with me, to put it this way.’

”

Introspection and reflection…

Asher Fisch answers on the second ring. It’s 5pm in New York and he’s awaiting the call. No stranger to the Australian media (or journalism, for that matter) he answers the questions fluently, decidedly, and then he hangs up. It’s all very matter of fact, much like his Wikipedia page, but yet Maestro Fisch is clearly not simple and straightforward. No, this is a man who grew up in Jerusalem, who worked as a journalist in the Israeli Army, who trained with Daniel Barenboim, and can claim 85 operas in his repertoire. This is a man whose essence lies beneath the surface, much like the music he will be bringing to Sydney.

his contract until the end of 2019. Those in Adelaide might remember Fisch from his Helpmann award winning Ring Cycle in 2005. But for the Sydney music scene, he will be a new face. After 20 years of visiting Australia the time has come for Fisch to conduct the orchestra he has heard so often, but just not in person. ‘When I’m driving in Australia,’ Fisch explains, ‘I hear a lot of SSO broadcasts on the radio and I know what a fine orchestra this is. Some of the musicians I know, either they used to play in WASO and are now playing in Sydney, or they come sometimes to play with WASO in Perth, so I am very excited to come to work with them.’

To audiences in Perth, Fisch is a household name. He has been Principal Conductor of the WASO since 2014 and recently extended

Fisch will bring to Sydney music on which he has built his name: composers of the German Romantic and post-Romantic era.

”

With such a deep-running love, and fluency in German, Fisch will be the perfect guide to some of Brahms’ lesser-known works. In the concert hall, we remember Brahms’ symphonies, forgetting that they were written towards the end of his composing career. A decade prior, Brahms had composed the great German Requiem and, in its wake, the Schicksalslied or Song of Destiny. It is this that Fisch will conduct in Sydney, alongside Gesang der Parzen or Song of the Fates. Fisch wants audiences to reposition Brahms as a choral composer. As he explains, ‘the only conducting job that [Brahms] ever had was with a women’s choir which he held very close to his heart and he composed a lot of music for them and for bigger choirs. His biggest success as a symphonic conductor, as a big scale conductor, was with the German Requiem.’ Unlike the Requiem, ‘Song of Destiny’ and ‘Song of the Fates’ take secular themes. ‘Song of Destiny’ is a setting of a poem by Friedrich Hölderlin, which captures a naturalistic impression of fate. ‘Song of the Fates’, on the other hand, is from a text by Goethe. It is far more torrid, both textually and sonically, and makes a great contrast to the ‘Song of Destiny’. Asked how significant he holds the text, Fisch gives a two-fold answer. With Brahms in mind, ‘who was an avid reader and knew, I’m sure, the entire poetry output of his years,’

Fisch claims that, ‘you will always know that he will go for very special and intricate and deep texts. It’s not like in opera when you choose a story that you think would play well on stage. So ‘Song of Destiny’ is definitely about his thoughts on life, etc and he’s definitely connected personally to the text.’ In light of today, however, Fisch believes that, ‘we don’t relate to poetry today as they did in those days. This is a long story; I mean there are many other inputs to our lives. Poetry and literature were possibly the most commonly consumed cultural content in those days and all the composers at this time were deeply connected to the poetry and literature written at the time. Today it’s a different story. I cannot say that I am connected in such a way [to poetry and literature] but I love dealing with a connection that happened then between all the art forms.’

Being asked to perform the piece made Fisch ‘doubly happy’. As he tells Fine Music, ‘when you’re asked to do a piece by somebody whose music you like so much and know personally, it’s a great joy that it comes from the orchestra itself. Avner is a fantastic composer, he’s definitely the best known Israeli composer today. He’s somebody who’s very connected with today’s music, he wrote film music when he was living in Los Angeles. He started his career writing tunes for the Nokia telephone company in Israel. He knows what’s going on and he uses his incredible feel for rhythm and intricate textures to the best effect and I hope that they will like his music in Sydney.’ Dorman’s music exists on many scales. His first opera is about to be performed in Germany and in 2008 Fisch gave the US premiere of Dorman’s ‘Ellef Symphony’. ‘After Brahms’ is on a smaller scale. In three short movements, Dorman interprets the late Intermezzi of Brahms. Pianistic ideas are translated to orchestral textures and forms morph from what was current in Brahms’ time to what is current today. In Dorman’s

Interval will serve as the bridge from the cerebral to the physical - and when audiences return to their seats they will be transported to the Alps. Where Brahms continued one line of musical style, Strauss took orchestral music in another direction. Influenced by the composer Alexander Ritter (a relative by marriage of Wagner’s), Strauss became

”

While art forms may be less interconnected in the modern world, the art world is not. Opening the concert will be a work by another Brahms loving musician, Avner Dorman. To Fisch, Dorman is a friend, a fellow Israeli now working in America. Fisch did not select the Dorman work; instead, the suggestion to perform ‘After Brahms’ came from the SSO. One can hazard a guess as to why this might be. The orchestrated version of ‘After Brahms’ was first performed in 2015, but the work began its life as a piece for solo piano. In that guise, it was commissioned by Orli Shaham, a wonderful pianist and the wife of the SSO’s chief conductor, David Robertson.

”

known for his tone poems. Though titled the ‘Alpine Symphony’, the work Fisch will conduct is instead a musical tale, a man’s journey in the mountains in 22 parts. Where some of the programs of Strauss’ tone poems have been fitted to the music, Fisch believes in the case of the ‘Alpine Symphony’, the tale can be taken literally. Fisch explains, ‘In the case of the ‘Alpine Symphony’, we have a clear description of Strauss, of a journey that he took, a walking trip, a hike, in the mountains, in the Alps, and he’s really describing how he went through the different phases, the storm coming, arriving at the peak, going down, and this is all in the music. I think that even though there’s no real story but depictions of atmosphere and situations up on the mountain, it is something he really experienced and then went down and composed. Since I live very close to the Alps myself now, I relate, I can really understand what he was going through. I do a lot of hikes in the Alps myself and I’m thinking, yes the man went on a very difficult, long day hike and then composed his reflections on the day.’

From poetry to musical pictography, the music of the German Romantics and postRomantics is rich for unpicking. It’s not hard to imagine how a conductor can make a career of it. But it is more interesting to unravel the tale. Fisch’s journey may not have 22 stages, but it has been shaped by his Israeli origins and his German ties. His training took him in one direction and his time in the opera pit only strengthened it. Australia is lucky that he was brought to our shores, and now audiences in Sydney can hear for themselves what those in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane can already attest to: Asher Fisch is pleasingly complex. - Nicky Gluch

IN SEARCH OF BERNARD HERRMANN: OMEGA ENSEMBLE SHEDS LIGHT ON RARE CONCERT WORKS

Omega Ensemble Co-Artistic Directors - Maria Raspopova & David Rowden Ask any music lover “Do you know the music of Bernard Herrmann?” and their response might be: “Ah, yes, the film composer”, to which I would reply: “Indeed, but did you know that he also wrote a great deal of music for the concert hall?”, To which they generally reply: “No, I didn’t know that. I’ve always associated Herrmann with the movies”, and rightly so. Few recordings of his concert works exist, and they rarely get many outings. Unfortunately, this provides little opportunity to hear these works in the context of a live concert, until Omega Ensemble’s artistic director David Rowden went on a search to find the scores so that he could perform for Australian audiences. Bernard Herrmann considered himself a “Romantic” composer. His music is indeed emotional, moody, with great depth of feeling. His greatest ambition was to be the conductor of a great orchestra, a position he was never able to find. He composed a great number of concert works including the cantata, Moby Dick, and an opera, Wuthering Heights, and one of his earlier works, Sinfonietta for Strings, was influenced by the twelve tone techniques of Schoenberg. However, it is his chamber works composed towards the end of his life that have the most emotional impact. At a time when composers like Eric Korngold and Max Steiner were the big names in the Hollywood studios and whose music

Bernard Herrmann

utilised long, sweeping melodies (and lots of strings) capturing the feelings of drama, romance and narrative, Herrmann was taking a different approach. His music would capture the psychological underpinnings and the internal workings of the characters as they appeared on screen. His music featured repeated musical cells (ostinatos) and short melodic and thematic ideas, which inherently made his music ‘easy to cut’. He also did his own orchestrations (not many film composers did this) and as such created his own unique orchestral palette. Herrmann had great success throughout his composing career with his greatest success coming from his collaborations with film director Alfred Hitchock on films such as Vertigo, North by Northwest and their most famous movie, Psycho. When Herrmann composed Echoes for string quartet in 1965, it was not a good period in his life. He had recently been fired from the Hitchcock film Torn Curtain and his career as a film composer was coming to an end as the Hollywood studio system was in disarray. Trends in film scoring were moving away from his individualistic style to a preference for melodies that were commercially exploitable. Herrmann composed Echoes as a series of ‘nostalgic remembrances’. Hermann reflects on moments from his past and one can hear hints of thematic material found in some of the film scores, as though he were looking back at happier times. His last concert piece would be a clarinet quintet entitled Souvenirs de Voyage. It was completed in 1967, by which time he had lived in England for several years. It is also a more optimistic work in comparison with Echoes as he had recently found new love.

When Omega Ensemble Artistic Directors David Rowden and Maria Raspopova heard Herrmann’s clarinet quintet at a friend’s house they were immediately drawn to the music. Rowden knew straightaway that he wanted to perform this piece of music. But it wasn’t that easy. “I tried to get the score and it wasn’t available. I went through the Bernard Herrmann estate which couldn’t help, and so then I approached the State Library of New South Wales and they then ordered it, but when it came to Australia I wasn’t able to take it out of the library. Finally, I was able to hire the score from this collector who had catalogued all of Bernard Herrmann’s music and we were able to perform the work in our 2016 season,” David explains. Omega’s CoArtistic Director Maria Raspopova adds: “The character of this music is quite stirring and I love the emotional quality of it.” It wasn’t just the clarinet quintet that got an airing either, it was a whole program showcasing the concert music of Bernard Herrmann. “Part of what Omega does is to expose and reveal music that doesn’t get performed all that often, or is quite unusual. Given the fact that there is only one recording of this work and only one score available and how hard it is, this music fits the bill,” David says. “Our performance in the Utzon room was the first performance of the clarinet quintet in Australia. He has some other incredible chamber works that are equally as beautiful and we are thrilled to be able to present this music again at the Art Gallery of NSW in March.” - Samuel Cottell EVENT Omega Ensemble Psycho: The Music of Bernard Herrmann Venue: Art Gallery of NSW Date: 5 March 8pm Each concert is preceded by a champagne reception and a private exhibition viewing at the Gallery. Doors open at 7pm. Concert starts at 8pm. For more information visit: www.omegaensemble.com.au March 2017

WHY I LOVE MUSIC - JARED CHEUNG Everywhere you look you can see and hear music. It could be the fresh teenager by the station with his headphones jammed into his ears listening to the latest tunes. Maybe it’s the crusty busker beside the road on his saxophone blasting out some groovy jazz beats. Or maybe it’s the orchestra in the concert hall, the golden shimmering sounds of trumpets and violins suspended in the air. There is so much variety in music, so much emotion, and I am still amazed at what one simple word means to so many people and the sheer weight of significance it carries. What do I love about music? It’s the relatability, for me as much as it is for the 7 billion people that live on this planet. There’s a piece of music for every conceivable moment you can name. Sadness can be cured with a course of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, and your faith in humanity restored with the famous Adagio in Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No.2. If you want to simply sit back and relax after a long day of work then some of Mozart’s string quartets are perfect. On the other hand if you’re the type for experiencing

tragedy first-hand, then Shostakovich’s string quintets are some of the most gut-wrenching pieces you’ll ever hear. Plus if you don’t want to be disturbed, there’s even a piece for that John Cage’s 4’33” is exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds of pure, unadulterated silence. Music is so varied. On many occasions I have just passed the time sitting in the CD section of the library, or in front of my computer watching performances, or attending the real thing at concerts. I have never been disappointed and now, 13 years down the track since I was introduced to the world of music, every performance offers something new. Even if it is the same piece! Sometimes especially if it is the same piece!! When I was 11 years old I distinctly remember hearing some orchestral piece that completely changed my perception of music. I had forgotten the name of the piece, but just a few months ago I was listening to the radio, and Saint-Saens’ La Muse et La Poete started playing. Something in my subconsciousness clicked, and now the piece’s sheer lyricism never fails to wet my eyes….. even now after listening to it countless times. It’s not just the auditory aspect of music that moves me emotionally, intellectually and

mentally. It’s also the performance aspect, the performers themselves getting lost in the music, the sight of a fellow human being completely overwhelmed by the beauty of this inexpressible language. In addition to attending every possible concert available I also have a first-hand experience of this as a performer. I am continually amazed at the effects of the emotion. Having experienced both ‘sides of the coin’ in a performance, I often reflect on the specifics at the end….the wonderful technical facility, the striking moments, and (hopefully) the impeccable control! I am surprised just how many ways I can say basically the same things….. ‘you played that piece very well!’ Yet it is really the music that provided the inspiration; the sheer genius of the composer. Sheet music seems so plain - page after page of black markings on white (or yellowed) sheets. It gives no indication of the depth and colour of what is actually written on the page. I truly believe music is magic. It never ceases to amaze me that seemingly random dots and lines can form a beautiful pattern that inspire and move people emotionally. That’s what I love about music. - Jared Cheung and Randolph Magri-Overend

THE TRAVELLING TENOR - ADAM PLAYER

The Travelling Tenor is a, newly launched, unique small group opera tour company, specifically designed to cater to travellers with an interest and passion for opera. Combining bespoke travel and dazzling operatic performances, the tours will be hosted by Australian operatic tenor, Adam Player. Itineraries are carefully curated to indulge travellers with the best of each destination, the best seats, exclusive behind the scenes access, and insights into the world of opera. Interview with Adam Player – What do you love about being an opera singer?

The most wonderful thing about being an opera singer is getting to work with amazing creative people all over the world. It is such a team effort to put these great spectacles on, taking imagination, dedication, drama and artistry. I now have the most wonderful and talented friends dotted all over the globe, many of whom would love to perform for our Travelling Tenor groups!

Then there’s Jonas Kaufmann, who I heard sing Florestan in Fidelio in Zurich, which was one of the most beautiful performances I have seen live. There are also a huge number of fantastic singers in the UK and Europe that we just don’t get to hear in Australia!

Do you have a favourite opera?

Our first tour is going to be really exciting, visiting Vienna and hearing a private recital from one of the Vienna State Opera’s principal artists, then on to Oxford to experience Garsington Opera, who I performed with in 2014 – set on a stunning estate in the British countryside, with a gorgeous three course meal at the interval overlooking the spectacular scenery and then onto London and of course an opera at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden to finish.

I really love a lot of the operatic repertoire. I will never get tired of hearing and seeing productions of La Boheme or Madama Butterfly but I also love the operas of Britten, Peter Grimes would have to be towards the top of my list. Then there’s Strauss! I love the way Salome really has you on the edge of your seat. Too many good ones! Who is your favourite opera singer?

The great bass baritone Bryn Terfel was my idol as a young singer, then I became a tenor! I still love him though and am really looking forward to seeing him perform in The Elixir of Love in Vienna on our first tour.

Where would you most like to take a Travelling Tenor group to in the future?

There are some great festivals that I’d love to travel to in the future. I think opera lovers would love Wexford Festival in Ireland, with rarely performed operas presented in the lovely coastal Irish town, and of course I’d love to take a group to La Scala and the Arena di Verona!

FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS

Florence Ewart Town Hall on 28th March, 1908 and she performed a number of times in Melbourne later that year. When she began to suffer from neuritis she decided to focus on composition, particularly on opera. Her first essay in that genre was the 4-act ‘Ekkehard’, the prologue of which was performed at Queen’s Hall in Melbourne on 3rd November, 1923 during a concert when a number of Florence’s songs were sung and her instrumental pieces (including an octet) played. She was accorded an enthusiastic reception.

Florence Ewart A century ago it was not uncommon for a man to marry a woman considerably younger than he. The other way around was rare, but this was the case when Florence Maud Donaldson wed Alfred James Ewart in England in 1898. He was more than 7 years her junior. Both would make substantial contributions to Australia, he in botany, she in music. They arrived in Melbourne with their 2 sons on 5th March 1906 after Alfred had gained employment as the foundation chair of botany at Melbourne University and subsequently as botanist for the Victorian government. Florence, born in London on 16th November, 1864 and a concert standard violinist who had had instruction in Europe from Joseph Joachim and Alfred Brodsky, was accepted readily onto the staff of the Albert Street Conservatorium.

On the domestic front things were turning out badly. Her husband was a very busy man and after missing a number of evening meals Florence stopped cooking for him and took to eating out herself. She was also prone to making indecorous remarks in social circles. Over time, the family lived in different residences but she found fault with all. Then a bigger problem arose, the maid that had served the household from 1910 (when Florence had the first of her trips to Europe) had married and given birth to a daughter in 1916 when Florence was again overseas. The maid died the following year and according to Florence her husband admitted to being the father of the child. She was adopted by the Ewart family against the wishes of her blood relatives.

Her input to Australian music was almost immediate: engaged as a conductor during the Women’s Exhibition in 1907 her ode ‘God Guide Australia’ was premiered on 23rd October by a women’s choir of some 1,300 voices conducted by the composer. That work and 3 others performed during the event earned her five monetary prizes.

After Florence planned another excursion to Europe in 1920 to study music, her husband obliged, fearful that her wayward tongue would expose him as the father of their maid’s child and that that would be sufficiently scandalous for him to lose his position at Melbourne University. It cost him: 800 pounds Australian from his 1,000 pound salary went towards the venture and even after selling the piano and obtaining a bank loan of 200 pounds he had to live frugally.

Playing her Guarnarius violin, Florence made her Australian debut at the Adelaide

Upon her return to Victoria in November, 1921 Florence ensconced herself in the

family holiday house at Healesville with her 2 sons and adopted daughter and insisted on a deed of separation. Her husband refused, but wrote asking for a divorce by mutual consent. Florence refused, and in the following year she relocated to East Melbourne with the boys but she was placed in a convent. In April 1924 Florence composed five ‘Bush Songs’ for voice and piano which were performed later that year twice in Melbourne and once in London. Then while her husband was overseas she delivered their adopted daughter to her guardians. Despite this upsetting him, when Florence travelled to Italy in October to study with Ottorino Respighi he paid her an allowance of 6 pounds per week. After being abroad for more than 4 years she learnt that her husband had petitioned for divorce on the grounds of desertion. She returned to Melbourne where the case was heard in the Civil Court during September, 1929. Her main defence that she had done nothing wrong and should not be subjected to divorce at her age did not stop her husband being granted a decree nisi, but through his solicitors he agreed to pay her court costs and an allowance of 5 pounds per week. Her composing was not affected as in 1930 she wrote a string quartet that was performed twice in Melbourne, and completed the 3-act opera ‘The Courtship of Miles Standish’ that was given a concert performance at the Melbourne University Conservatorium in May of the following year. Living in a cottage in the Dandenong ranges, Florence completed the operas ‘Matteo Falcone’ and ‘Nala Wooing’ in 1933, and in 1934 took her four operas to England hoping for performances. Nothing came of it. Undeterred, Florence returned to Melbourne and completed the opera ‘Pepita’s Miracle’ in November, 1945. But time was running out, and when she died in her home at South Yarra on 9th November, 1945 the unfinished opera ‘A Game of Chess’ was on her desk. - Stephen Pleskun March 2017

What’s On RUSSIAN LEGENDS Australia Ensemble @UNSW When: 11 March at 8pm Sir John Clancy Auditorium UNSW Tickets: $30-$50 Bookings: Phone (02) 9385 4874 or Email: Australia.ensemble@unsw.edu.au From Stravinsky’s charmingly folkloric Soldier’s Tale Suite through to the depths of Borodin’s profound Second String Quartet, this program explores the richness and diversity of the Russian school of composition while proffering some of its lesser-known voices – Arensky’s Piano Trio is one of the masterworks of the repertoire. Meanwhile contemporary practitioners Sofia Gubaidulina and Elena Kats-Chernin give us new insights into ‘Russian-ness’. Although born in Uzbekistan (in the old Soviet Union) and now a Sydney resident, Elena studied in Moscow. Her Russian Rag is, ironically, one of the most recognisable and famous of Australian compositions!

CD Reviews RESONANCES Music from the 16th Century to the present day Marshall McGuire - harp with contributions from Jane Edwards - soprano and Riley Lee - shakuhachi.

✶✶✶✶ If you’re hypnotized by the gentle sounds of the harp you’ll be mesmerized by the music on this recording. You’ll also be impressed by the diverse range of styles from the 16th Century to the present day. There are almost fifty composers represented - too many to list and including

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH 1906-1975 Cello Concerto No. 1 Op. 107 Cello Concerto No. 2 Op. 126 Alisa Weilerstein - cello Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks Pablo Heras-Casada, Conductor

✶ ✶ ✶✶

Originally conceiving the work as a symphony, Shostakovich composed these two concertos PREGHIERA - RACHMANINOV PIANO TRIOS Daniil Trifonov and Gidon Kremer and Giedre Dirvanauskaite Deutsche Grammophon ASIN: B01MQV8GFA

✶✶✶✶✶

The religious dimension of Rachmaninov’s output is often overlooked or not considered in the face of virtuosity, the element of his music that dominates the discussion of the complexity of his music. His deeply religious nature and his close association with the Russian Orthodox Church is prevalent throughout his work which the majority of his melodies moving in step within a restricted melodic range, are reflective of the chants with which he was familiar. The opening work of this disc is an arrangement of the themes from the second 12

several Australians. Represented are John Cage’s In a Landscape, several of Bach’s works, Sculthorpe and his delightful Night Pieces, Arvo Paert, Britten and his Suite Op.83, Glanville Hicks with her Come Sleep and her Sonata, Hindemith and his sonata and Love Me Sweet from Carl Vine. It was once put to me that the harp is the only musical instrument which one can hold in a romantic embrace! And in the music here there is much romance to McGuire’s playing. Australian McGuire studied at the Paris Conservatoire and the London Royal College of Music, and often performs at

music festivals in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. He is a trustee of various organisations, President of the New Music Network and a music programmer at Arts Centre Melbourne. McGuire performs regularly with Australian music groups. The music is available on 2 CDs which are well worth adding to your collection. - Emyr Evans

over a seven years period for Mstislav Rostropovich and it’s no surprise that the styles are very dissimilar. During this time Shostakovich was unwell and the second concerto with its complex moods reflects the composer’s state of mind. Comparing and contrasting the two concertos is difficult as the first concerto was recorded in a studio whilst the second was recorded live in concert and so there are some textural variances as well as a continuing sense of sparseness in the scoring. Shostakovich was unwell when he undertook to write the second concerto but despite illness was able to attend its premiere on his 60th birthday in Moscow. The energetic rhythm of the opening movement of the first concerto immediately creates a strong sense of buoyancy in the scoring whilst the allegretto second movement

has some hauntingly beautiful movements. The scherzo of the second concerto is based on a popular Odessa street song. Despite periodic sparseness of scoring in the third movement of the second concerto we hear a sudden fanfare of horns and side drum followed by the bizarre combination of cello and tambourine. If Shostakovich is not your favourite composer but the cello your favourite instrument you can be assured that the colour and vibrancy of the music is impressive, and the cellist, Alisa Weilerstein, is absolutely sublime. - Incidentally Alisa will be performing the Dvorak Cello Concerto with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in November - an event not to be missed. - Emyr Evans

movement of the Second Piano Concerto, arranged by Fritz Kreisler. This is a thoughtful and exquisite arrangement with both violin and piano given equal prominence. There is excellent balance in the playing and gives weight to the title of the album ‘Preghiera’. The two piano trios entitled Trio élégiaque that follow are both early works with the second, a large scale composition written in the memory of Tchaikovsky. Here we can already see the genesis of what was to come with Rachmaninov bringing a warm and aesthetic quality to the music countered by a sense of eloquence and intellectual command. This work could be considered his greatest compositional success from the period before the Second Piano Concerto. At almost 50 minutes in length the piece is one of a reflective nature which searches through

the soul of the listener and announces Rachmaninov as a suitable successor to Tchaikovsky. The work was revised some 14 years later and the depth of his compositional mastery is clear and concise. The first Trio élégiaque is influenced by Tchaikovsky’s own Piano Trio is a single movement work which evokes passion and emotion amidst extremely technicially demanding writing for the instruments. There is a sense of connectivity between the players and this is prevalent throughout both works. A well balanced and superbly engineered album from DG. A fine disc to commence 2017. - Frank Shostakovich

Jazz CD Reviews DAY BREAKS Norah Jones Blue Note

✶✶✶✶

Sultry vocalist and pianist Norah Jones latest recording Day Breaks is cleverly disguised as a singer-songwriter album with roots in pop and jazz, divided between originals and sharply selected covers. It’s clever because her previous recording dates have deliberately strayed from these roots but now she has dangled the musical lure out to welcome back any disillusioned fans that may have become disloyal from those previous musical meanderings to deliver an album

PENELOPE SAI SINGS 007 Independent release www.penelopesai.com

✶✶✶✶

This is the fourth album release from the Sydney based vocalist following on from her

of depth and resonance.There’s a bluesy cover of Neil Young’s Don’t Be Denied -a real highlight-that winds up evoking her first big hit Come Away with Me. Ms Jones then follows that up with the dense nocturnal rhythms of Day Breaks playing piano with a fluid keyboard touch alongside Wayne Shorter on soprano sax and members of his trio, Brian Blade( drums) and John Patitucci (bass). They are outstanding on the tracks - Horace Silver’s Peace and Duke Ellington’s African Flower, and it’s on these that her jazz roots flourish and come to fruition. Throughout the album she sings with more depth and resonance than ever before. Such a sense

Jazz Bell Award nominated album of 2016 Some Kind of Dream.The album delivers fourteen of the most popular James Bond themes, most of them by English composer/ arranger John Barry, stripped back into a jazz club styling with a Latin tinge with all of the seductiveness and drama of the originals. Sean Mackenzie shines on the piano and arrangements along side a stellar band including Brett Hirst (double bass), Nic Cecire (drums) with appearances from American Scotty Barnhart (horns)Jonathan Zwattz (double bass on one track) and Frenchman Didier Lockwood (violin). The Marvin Hamlisch/ Carole Bayer Sager hit Nobody Does it Better gets a re-vamp as does Bono’s

of quiet adventure gives the record depth but what gives it resonance are the exquisitely sculpted original Jones’ songs that feel as elegant as Songbook standards. Day Breaks is a testament to Norah Jones’ ever-evolving musicianship. - Barry O’Sullivan

Golden Eye and there’s even the award winning Skyfall one of the best themes of them all. Diamonds Are Forever makes a reappearance from her previous album, but the others are all fresh and new recordings. The album invokes the nostalgia of how powerful songs such as these were in selling a film title as a package commencing with From Russia With Love and the everlasting James Bond theme. Ms Sai glides through the tracks effortlessly with sensuality and seductiveness of a true Bond girl delivering pure listening pleasure to fans of this timeless genre. - Barry O’Sullivan
