NOBUYUKI TSUJII’S WELCOME RETURN NICKY GLUCH SHARES EXPERIENCES FROM THE PIANIST’S CONCERTS

Nobuyuki Tsujii. Image: Tessa Conn (Sydney Symphony)

The Opera House Concert Hall is sure to be full when Tsujii returns to Sydney in May. Along with making his recital debut, Tsujii will perform Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto with Sydney Symphony. In considering what it takes to play music without sight, one delves 2

deeper into music as an entity. To learn his pieces, for example, Tsujii has a team of aides who record the music a few bars at a time with each hand separately. What this says about music is that it is the skill of a pianist to make the two hands sound linked, in symbiosis, one might say. The truth, though, is that the parts only work when they are separated. The melody of the right hand might transfer to the left but the piece only works when each plays its own part.

When it comes to how he performs without sight, there are two questions which Tsujii is often asked. The first is how he manages leaps

”

Six months may have passed, but stand in a hallway with concert goers and you might just hear accounts of Nobuyuki Tsujii’s last performance in Sydney. The storytellers will begin by explaining how enraptured they were

by Tsujii’s performance, that Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto, a piece they knew so well, was brought alive, each note enhanced. They will then say that about half way through the first movement, they realised that Tsujii never looked down. He looked not at his hands, not at music and not at the conductor. Only after the concerto ended was this observation explained: Nobuyuki Tsujii is blind. So affected were the storytellers by this revelation, so amazed by the absolute musicality that the experience needed to be shared. For when it comes to Tsujii, a distinction must be made: Tsujii is not a blind musician; Tsujii is a musician who happens to be blind.

a performer who both gives and listens...

”

(when notes are a fair distance apart) and the second is how he follows a conductor. To the first question, Tsujii has a simple answer.

Playing since he was two years of age, the piano has become an extension of his body.

Just as we can close our eyes and still touch our toes, so Tsujii can navigate a keyboard. A piano has an architecture, one which humans

have developed to suit their own physicality.

An adult’s hand should comfortably span an octave and the black notes do not alternate with white (as a child might draw) but repeat in the pattern two, then three. The making of music is thus a three-dimensional thing and this idea goes someway to explain Tsujii’s answer to the second question.

Tsujii explains that he follows a conductor by listening to his/her breathing. A conductor should breathe to shape a phrase, to indicate entries of instruments (especially the wind and brass) and this information allows Tsujii to know when it is his turn to enter or when to end a trill and begin the next phrase. One wonders how much of a conductor’s beat pattern Tsujii can feel. Two, three and four beats are each shaped in their own way and the conductor’s moving hand will move the air as well. Music, it should be remembered, is set down on paper for convenience. In its 2D form, we forget that it is the oscillation of sound waves, a physical thing transmitted by a 3D medium. Tsujii, stripped by microphthalmia of his sight, enforces that third dimension. In the words of Peter McCallum (writing for the

Sydney Morning Herald) to hear Tsujii play is, ‘like hearing the composer’s score made flesh, or rather, its sonic equivalent. Every nuance, every accent and every marking of dynamic that the composer [has] troubled to notate [is] brought to audible substantiality with vividness, clarity and musical purpose’.

What, then, to the music? Tsujii demonstrated his love, and affinity, for Chopin at the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition (which he won). He performed all 12 of Chopin’s Opus 10 Études and his Second Piano Concerto which is a slightly earlier work. In fact, it was written before Chopin had even finished his formal education. For a pianist, it is wonderful. Chopin poured all of his own pianistic skill and understanding into its composition and performed its premiere.

He also poured something of himself into the work as the second movement, a glorious

To hear Tsujii play is an experience…

”

”

Larghetto, was inspired by his adoration of Constantia Gladowska. The piece begins, though, in majestic fashion. A grand orchestral opening peters out to some delicate flute and string playing to give way for the piano’s entry.

And when it enters, the piano has full control, arching the phrases and making the orchestra sing with it. For that reason alone, the second movement comes as such a contrast. The piano may introduce the theme but it joins the orchestra in a dance. The music takes on an agency; in the first movement it pushes forward but in the second it allows time to pass it by. In the third movement, the pianist again resumes charge.

Not waiting for the orchestra, it begins its exciting theme and asks the orchestra to emulate. With so much to explore, one can be assured of a wonderful performance byTsujii.

Surrounding the concerto are two other invigorating works. The Sydney Symphony is to be conducted by Bramwell Tovey who is sure to bring some of his dynamism to the experience.

To open the concert, Berlioz’ Overture to Le Corsaire has been chosen. The piece is supposedly based on Lord Byron’s poem of the same title which tells the tale of the rejected corsair, Conrad, and his subsequent fight against the male gender. The brass may be heated but there are some tender woodwind moments as the corsair connects with women (he was a Byronic hero after all!). In short it is a piece about cruelty and tenderness which reminds us of the stories which music can tell.

In the second half, Dvorák’s Eighth Symphony is set to star. One cannot talk about the architecture of music without considering Dvorák, and his Eighth Symphony is a prime example. Without

eschewing the four-movement structure of a symphony, Dvořák is still able to infuse it with his own voice. The themes he uses are amazingly varied and draw from, or adapt, Bohemian folk tunes.

Right from the first cello notes, audiences are transported to the Bohemian environ, an idea which is made more explicit by the flute’s bird calls. The second movement is a lilting depiction of the countryside, a summer’s day interrupted by a thunderstorm. The third and fourth movements bring dance to the fore. The former is a melancholy waltz (perhaps the most famous movement of the symphony) which transfixes the body and the latter opens with a triumphant call to dance.

What may sound like a military fanfare calls comrades to join arms rather than raise them.

Music tells stories; it emotes and it beckons. Though it has an innate ephemerality, some Nobuyuki Tsujii. Image: Tessa Conn (Sydney Symphony) can make it seem tangible.

This perhaps goes some way Tsujii’s audiences will be blessed by a performer to explain the allure of Nobuyuki Tsujii. He has who both gives and listens intently. This, then, a magnetism which has resulted in a fan base may be the truth which Tsujii expounds. We which travels with him from concert to concert. must live for what we have, not rushing through In Japan, they call him Nobu, the mononym but indulging in the moment. Sharing allows for befitting his celebrity status. Tsujii’s ability to not revelation and revelation for story. Music allows just rise above but to conquer his blindness has for all of this, if we permit. made him the subject of international fascination.

In 2015, Tsuji featured in a documentary called Listen to Nobuyuki Tsujii play in An Oasis of Touching the Sound which explored how he has Loveliness on Fine Music 102.5 on 2 May at 1pm become a symbol of Hope for those with disability and a musical ambassador for his country.

Ivan Hewett (writing for the UK Telegraph) posited his own reason for the fascination with Tsujii. Hewett called to mind the blind seer ‘who knows truths, and can sing them truly’ and thus becomes a revered figure. The musical ‘truth’ is perhaps, then, what made BBC Philharmonia musicians stay back after rehearsals to listen to Tsujii play. Perhaps this ‘truth’ is why the juror at the Van Cliburn competition closed his book so as to be absorbed in listening. Whatever it is, to hear Tsujii play is an experience and Sydney is lucky that its encore has come so soon.

“If you give of your best, life will offer you something in return”, said Tsujii to the UK Telegraph. It is an idea which should speak not only to overcoming adversity but to living life to the full. To listen to music, for example, requires one to give oneself over to the experience. The more one gives the more one is open to receive.

FROM FRANCE. “A major, many-shaded work even by Isabelle Huppert standards.” VARIETY.

MONTEVERDI’S SOUL-STIRRING MUSICAL CONTRASTS HIS COMPELLING MUSIC IS EXPLORED BY DAVID GARRETT sang madrigals in their own language (say, in English, by Gibbons, Morley, Weelkes and others) realised Italians had invented the madrigal. Soon they tried Monteverdi’s, so good that they wanted to explore his music further. In the 1920s at Oxford University L’Orfeo was staged, with students among the performers. In Sydney in the early 1970s, the university musical society, SUMS, put on L’Orfeo in the Great Hall. For the youthful enthusiasts who took part, to sing Monteverdi was to experience something new and fresh: music they sensed could have been composed yesterday.

“I am aware that contrasts are what stir our souls, and that such stirring is the aim of all good music” – Claudio Monteverdi Some music you may discover by hearing just a snatch: touching, or catchy, irresistible, a delight. Often it’s a song by a composer whose music has remained famous when our composer’s music was hardly to be heard at all. He was known by reputation, but his music had to be rediscovered, beginning about a century ago. Soon his songs, and much else, went straight into the charts of classical hits.

His name is Claudio Monteverdi.

This Italian, born 450 years ago, appeared in every history of music as the composer of opera’s first masterpiece, so soon after opera was invented: L’Orfeo (1607), appropriately on a story which proves the power of music.

When he wrote his last opera, The coronation of Poppea (1642) in the year before his death, Monteverdi was 75, very old for that time. In his lifetime Monteverdi’s greatest hit was an opera now lost except for its most famous number, the Lament of its heroine, Arianna.

Textbooks of musical history note Monteverdi’s major part in the transition from unaccompanied polyphonic vocal music to accompanied harmonic writing, especially declamation for a single voice, closely following the words. This made possible the dramatic music called opera.

How did Monteverdi change from ‘interesting historical figure’ to being credited with some of the most compelling, moving music ever composed? People began not just to study his music, but to perform it particularly on university campuses where students, who

Madrigals lie at the heart of Monteverdi’s works: eight collections (Books) spanning 40 years. They were his musical laboratory, experimenting first in Renaissance polyphonic style, which Monteverdi called prima prattica (first practice), then in the new one-voice-at-atime style, closely following the text: seconda prattica.

Recordings helped supply the gaps in performance: on a famous 1937 set of 78 rpm records, Nadia Boulanger (great teacher of composers) directed a small vocal and instrumental group. These records were a revelation of a composer whose beauties were more accessible than most people had suspected. The flow of Monteverdi recordings began.

Who was Claudio Monteverdi? A cathedral chorister in his native Cremona, he had already published two volumes of madrigals by the time he became a string player at the court of the Duke in Mantua. By 1601 he was director of music there. In 1607 came the courtly dramatic entertainments, .L’Orfeo, and its successor L’Arianna. There was church music too, an especially rich and varied compendium of his styles thus far, the Vespro della beata Vergine (Vespers of the Blessed Virgin, 1610) a magnificent work, issued on early Fine Music LPs, recorded by our volunteers from performances by the Sydney University Chamber Choir.

Monteverdi’s wife died in Mantua after a long illness and, in 1613, he moved to Venice, where he spent the rest of his life, in charge of the music at St. Mark’s Cathedral. Some time after 1630 Monteverdi took holy orders.

Naturally the Venice years engendered much sacred music, published in collections: Selva morale e spirituale (1640) and Mass for four

voices and Psalms (1650). Some of the sacred pieces ingeniously and delightfully recycle materials from earlier madrigal compositions, such as the entrancing Beatus Vir with its instrumental refrain derived from the canzonetta, Chiome d’oro.

In 1637 the first public opera house opened in Venice, and the aging Monteverdi was stimulated to write several more operas. Two survive: Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria (1641), and L’incoronazione di Poppea (1642). Their characterisation and dramatic effect need no historical imagination for the soul to be stirred.

In the opera Poppea the realism about the union of its unpleasant leading characters (Nero and Poppea) is breathtaking, and the passionate music is uncensored by political correctness.

The quote from Monteverdi about stirring the soul comes from the preface to his Madrigals of Love and War (Book VIII, 1638). In this book there are dramatic works, notably Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda. Here Monteverdi demonstrated what he could do to represent fighting and its passions, alternating with those of love. His target audience of sophisticated Venetian nobles was impressed and moved to tears.

Monteverdi still has that effect on his hearers, in an amazing variety of musical forms and styles. If you hear some of his music on Fine Music 102.5 in May, you’ll surely want more.

CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS James Nightingale remembers James Penberthy, composer and music educator Australia isn’t very good at remembering its past composers. There are a great many who have made a significant contribution to our musical culture and who have more or less disappeared into history, forgotten by the contemporary world. One such composer is James Penberthy who was born in Melbourne on the 3 May 1917. To mark this centenary, we will broadcast a program with some of his many compositions.

Penberthy’s father was an accomplished musician and their home was full of musical instruments. James Penberthy became a school teacher who instigated orchestras and choirs in the schools in which he worked. Then came World War II and he joined the Australian Navy serving from 1942-1946. Following his return to Melbourne, he began composition studies at the Melbourne Conservatorium.

Amongst his fellow students were Peter Sculthorpe, Don Banks and George Dreyfus.

After finishing his degree he was awarded a scholarship to study overseas and spent time in England and France, where he worked with Nadia Boulanger.

On returning to Australia, Penberthy was based in Perth, where he and his wife were

instrumental in the birth of the West Australian Ballet and the West Australian Opera.

In 1973, he moved to NSW, firstly to Sydney and then to Lismore, where he was involved in starting the music courses at Lismore Teachers College, which is now the music school of Southern Cross University. He died in Yamba, N.S.W. in 1999.

Georg Tintner A ‘musical Diogenes’ was how Richard Gill characterized Austrian-born conductor Georg Tintner (1917–1999), referring to his strong principles and humble lifestyle. Yet, where the provocative Greek philosopher Diogenes sought to cause controversy, Tintner’s only extreme views were as a pacifist and vegan, once describing himself as being ‘full of beans’. This made him well-equipped to interpret the works of the late Romantic composer Anton Bruckner, who shared Tintner’s humility. (Tintner, on one occasion, likened the role of the conductor to that of ‘a servant’.) It is his unparalleled recordings of Bruckner’s complete symphonies for which he is most well-known today. This month (on 22

Tintner was musical from a young age, learning the piano at age six and joining the Vienna Boys’ Choir at 13, sometimes conducting them in his own compositions.

The choir also performed Bruckner’s Masses, from which a young Tintner derived great inspiration as he sang. When the Nazis took power in 1938, Tintner fled to New Zealand, where he conducted the Auckland Choral Society, before moving to Australia in 1954 as the resident conductor of the National Opera of Australia. Tintner returned to Australia after a brief period in Cape Town from 1966–70 and was appointed the Music Director of the West Australian Opera. In 1974, he joined Opera Australia, formerly known as the Australian Opera, and, in 1976, he took the post of Music Director with the Queensland Theatre Orchestra.

He eventually settled in Canada and became the director of Symphony Nova Scotia in

1987. During 1995–98, Tintner made his much-praised recordings of the complete cycle of Bruckner symphonies with Symphony Nova Scotia, the culmination of his lifelong admiration of Bruckner, whom he believed could create ‘that sort of cosmic feeling that, in spite of every horrible thing, the world can be a good place’. He was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 1998 and died in Nova Scotia in 1999.

Georg Tintner’s career in Australia cannot be underestimated. He is credited with pioneering televised opera in Australia and was the conductor of many major Australian orchestras. He left a legacy in New Zealand, Australia and Canada as a ‘generous artist who communicate[d] all this good karma to musicians, who believed in him, and thus in the music’.

One of Anton Bruckner’s alternative movements to his symphonies, the Adagio for Symphony no 3, will be heard in our celebratory program on 22 May at 2.30pm.

It is an unusual combination: a virtuoso pianist with the charisma to hold the audience as a soloist, and yet with the sensitivity to bring out the best in his fellow musicians on stage. His special relationship with the Goldner Quartet brings an extra intimacy to their performances together.

The Orava Quartet has won the hearts of the Huntington audience, as the brilliant young guns of Australian chamber music. Youthful brilliance combines with a rare thoughtfulness to create inevitably memorable performances.

ENJOY, LEARN, DISCUSS: AN OVERVIEW Laura-Jay Mathison talks to Mary Lenart, creator of this popular series presentations are held every third Sunday of the month and feature Fine Music volunteers addressing the audience on areas of their special knowledge in classical music or jazz, from 30s swing music to Wagner. She recalls one talk on Staging Music, by presenter Angela Cockburn, where audience members were gifted a copy of the book Actor’s Blood, a book dedicated to Angela.

Mary Lenart For Mary Lenart, Enjoy, Learn, Discuss has been “… a good way to get closer to our listeners, to meet them, talk to them, and to understand what is interesting to them. It is about building engagement and loyalty”.

This month, join us for Enjoy, Learn, Discuss, a regular series of presentations created by Fine Music volunteer Mary Lenart. Mary started as a volunteer with Fine Music in 2000 and in 2013 established Enjoy, Learn, Discuss (ELD). The

Mary, whose passion is classical music, curates the program herself, inviting volunteers to choose a topic which they would like to present. Mary ensures that across the year, the series showcases a wide variety of music and content. Technical needs, such as visual presentations, also need to be met in addition to seating, catering and audience management.

Mary says that the ELD is a team effort, with committee members on hand to welcome guests and deal with payments and that it is something ‘of which we are all very proud’.

Cheese and wine are typically served and the talks are followed by a Q&A session, where listeners can meet the presenters, see our premises (a guided tour is included with each presentation) and feel more connected to Fine Music and our activities. She also emphasises

the importance of the social aspect, as many lasting friendships have been formed here.

Mary is interested in building connections to our audience and feedback from attendees on the series has been overwhelmingly positive. It has also been featured in Limelight magazine and the end of 2017 will have seen a total of 48 presentations since the series began.

Numbers for each presentation are expected to increase as we move to the larger capacity Learning Centre.

Later this year will see Ron Walledge, a longtime Fine Music volunteer, share his knowledge of the development of Beethoven’s musical style through an in-depth look at his Concertos.

James Nightingale, a saxophonist, and Fine Music programmer and presenter, will present July’s talk, The Saxophone in the 19th century: Adolphe Sax and the music he inspired.

Talks on vocal technique, Chopin, Gilbert and Sullivan and Schumann will conclude the year.

This month, musicologist, author and Fine Music programmer and presenter, David Garrett, will speak about Debussy’s Pelleas and Melisande. The cost for each talk is $5.00 for subscribers and $10.00 for non-subscribers.

While it may seem odd to include Romantic Czech composer Antonín Dvořák in a program of music from the New World, the Bohemian composer wrote two of his most famous works during his time in the United States. Dvořák’s American F major string quartet is inescapably influenced by the landscape of the plains of New England so memorably captured a generation later by Aaron Copland, a concept unmistakably 12

THE MADRIGALS In 1583, Claudio Monteverdi, aged 16 years, published his first works: some sacred madrigals in four parts.

Soon after, he entered the service of the Duke of Mantua as a viol player but soon achieved brilliant success as a singer of madrigals, many of which he also composed. His first collection of madrigals for five voices was published in 1587.

THE GHOST TRIO Günter Schneider describes the second movement of Beethoven’s Piano trio in D as having a ‘Poe-like ghastliness of effect’. Known as the Ghost, it has an eerie sound and may have its roots in sketches for an opera, which Beethoven was contemplating at the time, based on Shakespeare’s play Macbeth.

WONDERLAND: ALICE SARA OTT Grieg: Piano Concerto, Lyric Pieces Bavarian RSO/Esa-Pekka Salonen DG 479 4631

✶✶✶✶✶

Alice Sara Ott’s new album can be aptly described as a Grieg fantasy. She takes us on

TURANDOT Nine Stemme; Aleksandrs Antonenko; Maria Agresta La Scala Theatre Ch & O/Riccardo Chailly Decca DVD 0743937

✶✶✶✶ It makes sense, I suppose, that stalwarts of the opera repertoire benefit from being ‘revitalized’ with varying degrees of ‘radical’ costuming and sets but does this become an end in itself and ultimately distract from the story, and more importantly, the music?

In this 2015 production, members of the chorus wear face masks which turn them into multiple ‘Phantoms of the Opera’; going to his execution, the white-daubed Prince of Persia flashes his naked posterior at us;

THE WORLD OF GEORGE MALCOLM George Malcolm, harpsichord Decca 482 5181

✶✶✶✶✶ In celebration of the centenary of the birth of George Malcolm, Decca has compiled this diverse disc of several recordings made by Malcolm between 1959 and 1969. Malcolm,

a fantastic voyage through the hills and fjords of Norway, stopping occasionally to say hello to the elves and butterflies and even the odd mountain troll. A Wedding day at Troldhaugen seems an appropriate way to finish it all off.

This is a beautiful snapshot of the brilliance of Grieg’s extensive piano output and perfect for anyone wanting to experience his music for the first time.

The major work is Grieg’s masterpiece, Piano Concerto in A minor, op 16. Ott takes a measured approach in the early stages allowing the listener to commune with the A minor harmonies of the opening piano flourishes. Her fleet-footed bridge passage into the second theme provides a moment of clarity exquisitely brought out by the string section

of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Ott’s playing is clear and colourful throughout without being heavy handed and banal.

The slow movement contains some of Grieg’s more melancholic musical moments and both pianist and orchestra shine with some wonderful interplay. The conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen, takes the lead and gives Ott plenty of scope and time to wield its triumphant elegance and grandeur. This is the silver lining to a refreshingly joyful account of Grieg’s timeless signature work.

The remainder of the album is a combination of a selection of Grieg’s Lyric Pieces and arrangements of some movements from Peer Gynt. This album is very highly recommended.

- Frank Shostakovich

Timur, with beard, hair and shades, could have wandered in from San Francisco in the 1960s; the Princess (appropriately) looks like some menacing black Kafkaesque insect (which makes Calif’s Oh divine, oh marvel, at his first sight of her, seem inadvisable); and Ping, Pang and Pong resemble a cross between figures from commedia dell’ arte and Elizabethan jesters.

Ping complains of his responsibilities in Peking ‘wearing-out my brain over the sacred books’ (one of which reveals a full-length image of Betty Page, the 1950s American pinup model). Oh well, if you’re going to do ‘radical’ Puccini, at least throw in some humour! Why not go for a straight oriental theme? Well, ‘too obvious’ it seems; and not leaving enough room for

the costume designer to be original.

But whose show is this?

Does it belong to the costume designer, the set designer, or to Puccini? At the end of the day it is Puccini’s music which triumphs; and the soloists, chorus, orchestra and conductor and of La Scala, Milan have not let him down. Left unfinished due to the composer’s death, Act III is presented here in the completion by Luciano Berio.

- Michael Muir

who died in 1997 and apparently referred to his instrument of expertise (one of several) as a ‘jangle box’, was the most famous harpsichordist of his day, known for his brilliant technique and modern approach to playing. Once Master of Music at Westminster Cathedral, Malcolm wore several hats: composer, choral director, conductor, organist and pianist, but it is as a harpsichordist that he was perhaps most renowned.

The disc centres on the works of J.S. Bach, featuring both the Concerto in F in the Italian style, BWV971 and the Toccata in D major, BWV 912. Recorded at a time when historical performance practices were becoming established, Malcolm’s renditions are unapologetically modern, making use of frequent registration changes and crescendo

and decrescendo effects.

Malcom’s sensitive approach to French harpsichord music is demonstrated in three works by Rameau and two works by Couperin.

Three more modern works give dimension and interest to the disc: the boogie-woogie masterpiece Bach goes to town, Flight of the bumblebee (always one of Malcolm’s most famous recordings) and one of his own works, Bach before the Mast, a set of variations on the Sailor’s Hornpipe in the style of Bach. Legend has it that Malcolm ‘dashed off’ this work overnight.

This enjoyable CD reveals the extensive capabilities and versatility of the harpsichord and the virtuosity and brilliance of Malcolm as a solo performer and is well worth rediscovering.

Jazz CD Reviews IN MY ROOM Jacob Collier Membran 234267

✶✶✶✶

I have been following Jacob Collier on YouTube for over five years, so was delighted when he finally released his first CD in 2016. He has titled it In my Room, not because this is one of the tracks included but because all of the music has been made in his own music room, a space he uses to explore, ‘build a groove’ and make ‘a harmonic place in which to swim’.

It is a significant space for him, and of the 11 tracks recorded, eight are his own SAMOREAU: A TRIBUTE TO THE FANS OF DJANGO REINHARDT Daniel Weltlinger DMG-Rectify 8179.2

✶✶✶✶

Sydney-born, Berlin-based violinist and composer, Daniel Weltlinger, concludes his trilogy of recordings with his latest release of Samoreau. The album follows his critically acclaimed Souvenirs (2011), and Koblenz (2014) and completes his trilogy dedicated to the legendary gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt, who in the 1930s pioneered the musical style Manouche which still resonates with audiences around the world today. Weltlinger shines on his violin on the 11 originals and is joined by Django’s grand DEED I DO Helen Humes Festival 29205

✶✶✶✶ Vocalist Helen Humes had a range from early blues through the swing era to a more mainstream jazz performer. Often overlooked in favour of contemporaries Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, this re-release of her 1976 concert recording Deed I Do is a chance to hear her in fine form, egged on by a very appreciative audience.

Born in 1913, Hume played church piano and organ as a child, was singing the blues at the 13 and touring with the highly regarded 46

compositions, and every instrument, every voice, every harmony we hear is coming from Jacob.

Collier was born into a musical family, with both his mother and grandfather being highly respected orchestral violinists and he and his sisters sing harmonies of Bach chorales for family fun. He is obviously consumed by the joy of making music in many forms and has been experimenting and exploring with instruments, harmonies and styles in his music making all his life. He is a UK award winning vocalist and has two Grammy Awards already, with a style which fuses jazz, groove, folk, classical, soul and Brazilian. He sings a cappella by multi-tracking his own voice, and plays piano, bass, melodica, keyboard, drums,

guitar, mandolin, dulcimer, percussion and anything else which takes his attention.

His career began to develop particularly through his use of modern technology, with the split screen multiple view videos he uploaded to the internet which brought him to the attention of a world audience including the legendary Quincy Jones, who flew him to the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Collier states that this album, released at the age of 21, catches where he and his music are up to at this point. It is the start of what hopefully will be a long and productive musical career, and one I hope to continue enjoying as a listener.

nephew, acclaimed guitarist, Lulo Reinhardt, as well as four of Lulo’s nephews who are also guitarists. Winfried Schuld plays accordion on two tracks and piano on one with superb finesse adding plenty of gypsy swing to the guitarists’ essentially Eastern European flourish.

The album is named after the town near where the annual Festival Django Reinhardt is celebrated each year at Samois-sur-Seine, France.The festival began as a one-night concert in 1968 and expanded to a week-long event in 1983. Weltlinger first attended the event in 2004 and formed a close bond with many of the people from across Europe who attend the Festival. Some of the outstanding tracks are Waterlilies (a direct allusion to

the Django composition), Nympheas, Samois (a tribute to the legendary festival town) and Ghosts (which alludes to wars and conflicts both past and present). Another track, La Femme Sophistiquée, features Lulo and Weltlinger at their finest and showcases them as masters of their craft with instruments painted with the shades of the all time greats, Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt.

swing band of Al Sears band in her early 20s.

She recorded with Harry James, becoming another black artist breaking the colour barrier. Count Basie heard her performing and invited her to replace Billie Holiday in his orchestra, a tenure which lasted three years and produced ballads such as Dark Rapture and Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, smash hits for her at the time. In the 1940s she tapped into R&B with the hit Beba-ba-le-ba, before leading her own bands, touring with Red Norvo, and even visiting Australia three times between 1956 and 1964. The Newport Jazz Festival was another chance to shine, as were the Carnegie Hall Spirituals to Swing concerts.

By the time this album was recorded in

1976 she was in her 60s, with a lifetime of experience. In this instance, she is accompanied by the masterful trio of Don Abney piano, Dean Reilly bass and Benny Barth drums. The audience is enjoying the performance, with her singing ranging from the raw blues shouting to sophisticated swing.

Songs include a cheeky rendition of Fats Waller’s If you’re a Viper, as well as several of her own compositions, Million Dollar Baby and the calypso styled Woe is Me, before finishing with the ever popular St. Louis Blues.

If you have never heard Helen Humes, this is a great way to enjoy her performance.

WHY I LOVE MUSIC

RANDOLPH MAGRI-OVEREND, Programmer, Presenter and Writer for Fine Music My grandfather loved opera and every night he’d play one of his 78s. He treasured Rigoletto. I hadn’t seen a live opera until I came to live in Sydney in 1974 and joined Opera Australia as an actor. The first opera in which I participated was Mussorgsky’s Boris Gudonov. Oddly enough the next was Rigoletto with John Copley directing, Bob Allman in the leading role and Yvonne Kenny as Gilda. Meanwhile I was trying to keep body and soul together by driving a cab.

It all began with my grandfather in Cairo, Egypt. My mother had died when I was four and my father sent my brother and me to live at my grandad’s flat just across the road. My mother had played the piano as did both my grandmothers. When I married Jenny 28 years ago, I insisted that piano-playing be part of the marriage contract.

But even before that, I had begun to appreciate classical music AND Frank Sinatra; an odd combination you might think but both nourished my thirst for culture and, in particular, good music. I’ve loved Sinatra since I was a teenager. I also love Bing Crosby. The ease in which he sang is phenomenal. Sinatra’s music led me to discover other musical genres: jazz, for example, although I’m still very much on the conservative side as far as that is concerned. I prefer the ivory-tinkling of George Shearing, Jacques Loussier and Ramsey Lewis.

Classical music, however, is a constant love. I started off by embracing Tchaikovsky (the third movement of his Sixth Symphony always energises me whenever I’m feeling low). Beethoven followed and, eventually as I started to explore the classical song catalogue (especially Lieder) and I began to realise that there was much more than orchestral music.

Arias from operas were always of great interest. Eisteddfods were an outlet which I explored.

The music of Gustav Mahler was revelatory.

His Second Symphony, The Resurrection, opened my ears to so many new sounds and emotions and Das Lied von der Erde proved beyond doubt how evocative and exciting music can be.

My favourite Lied was also composed by Mahler: Ich bin die Welt abhanden gekommen (I am lost to the world). It is on the sad side, but then I tend to be a sad person. I think it is so soulful and beautiful.
