YEARS

At Fine Music 102.5 in Chandos Street, the first Enjoy Learn Discuss presentation of the year marks the official opening of our Learning Centre. Sadly Patrick Thomas has decided he must withdraw for health reasons. However, we are most fortunate that Australian born, London based, Sydney Symphony Orchestra Assistant Conductor, Toby Thatcher, has agreed to present. So the baton passes from one conductor to another.

1974 - 2014 The broadcast line-up for February includes a rare opportunity to compare three different versions of the Don Juan story in At the opera: On Feb 1st, Mozart’s Don Giovanni; on Feb 15th, Dargomyzhsky’s The stone guest; and on 22nd, Gazzaniga’s Don Giovanni. On Feb 8th, At the opera commemorates the 80th anniversary of the publication of John Steinbeck’s novel Of mice and men with the opera of the same name composed by Carlisle Floyd.

AUSTRALIAN ROMANTIC & CLASSICAL ORCHESTRA

OPERATIONS MANAGER & CLARINETTIST NICOLE VAN BRUGGEN

Rachael Beesley, Richard Gill AO, Nicole van Bruggen

Audiences in Sydney may have noticed the arrival of a new orchestra onto the musical scene in 2013. Then known as orchestra seventeen88, the ensemble became recognised for its exciting interpretation of Classical and Romantic repertoire and its championing of lesser known composers.

The fact that musical celebrity, Richard Gill AO, was at its helm certainly put it in the spotlight but that did something to belie its origins. There would have been no orchestra seventeen88 without van Bruggen and her friend, violinist Rachael Beesley.

It was they who had inspired Gill when he had conducted ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ for Victorian Opera. As van Bruggen recounts, ‘Richard was blown away by the calibre of 2

the playing, and HIP [Historically Informed Performance] knowledge and expertise which was assembled in the orchestra pit, and invited us to create a new orchestra.’ Gill, van Bruggen and Beesely were joined by Berlin based conductor, Benjamin Bayl (Principal Guest Conductor) and through ‘the amazing generosity and dedication of Australia’s HIP musicians’ an orchestra was born that has since ‘gone from strength to strength.’

As part of its growth, the orchestra had to stake out its niche. Where it has become commonplace to see Renaissance and Baroque repertoire performed on period instruments, orchestra seventeen88 looked further, towards Classical and Romantic repertoire. The date may have been a nod to Australia’s history but it was also the era of Mozart and Beethoven. To van Bruggen, ‘the Romantic Era was an inspiring and highly

”

If it takes a village to raise a child, what does it take to raise an orchestra? Nurturing, clearly, funding, without doubt, and an overall belief in its purpose seem a good start. Clarinettist Nicole van Bruggen is the Operations Manager of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra (ARCO) and one of the orchestra’s founding members.

To her, the orchestra is ‘just like having another child as I am constantly preparing the orchestra for its future and I nurture its needs from all directions.’ So how did it begin?

clear but evocative…

”

influential period, and one which was not being explored and presented in HIP style in Australia. I love the clarity and sensitivity created on period instruments and how this shines a light on the interplay of the

instrumental colours and phrases in a way that is not often heard when performed on modern instruments.’

In 2017 the orchestra has looked to further cement this position. Van Bruggen is as skilled a manager as she is a clarinettist, having run her own music agency in Holland that represented ‘more than a dozen period instrument orchestras and ensembles throughout Europe.’ With these years of experience she has helped re-brand the orchestra. The new name, the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, is clear but evocative, the acronym ARCO being the Italian word for bow.

Romance is not only at the heart of the orchestra’s new name but is the thread linking this year’s programs. In March, the season will be launched with ‘Italian Romance’; in May mezzo-soprano Fiona Campbell will be the soloists in ‘Unfinished Romance’ and in September van Bruggen and Beesley will lead the exciting ‘Revolutionary Romance’.

Asked what romance means to her, van Bruggen explains that ‘to most people these days, ‘Romance’ means candlelit dinners and long-stemmed roses. But to the musicians of the Romantic Era it was all about style – a

sweeping, swelling, emotional sensibility.’

As such, ‘one of the aims of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, and in curating the 2017 program, is to bring new and exciting opportunities for Australian audiences to rediscover the intrinsically expressive and emotional qualities of 19th century music by early Romantic composers – Schubert, Mendelssohn, Wolf, Rossini and Beethoven – with the brilliance of (HIP) style.’

The expressive and emotional qualities of Beethoven, Wolf and Mendelssohn are the first to be explored. For a program titled ‘Italian Romance’ it seems fair to start in Rome with Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture.

The piece explores the tension between General Coriolanus’ military drive with his mother’s plea to withdraw. The emotional landscape is set. Beesley follows performing Beethoven’s Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2. In this context, the title represents a piece of an especially tender quality a promise fulfilled by the score.

Rounding out the Beethoven exploration is his rarely performed 12 Contredanses for Orchestra. Charming little movements, all in the major key, the piece should place audiences in the courts, in an era where men and women danced in two lines and music played all night.

After interval the full orchestra will assemble for the music of Wolf and Mendelssohn. Like Beethoven, neither man was Italian; instead Wolf’s Italian Serenade and Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony were inspired by the intangible essence of the country. Wolf was inspired by a poem and dance tunes whereas Mendelssohn, like so many others, had fallen in love with the country while travelling. Van Bruggen knows Italy’s charms, having spent her honeymoon there. To her, ‘Romance and Italy go hand in hand. Romance is engrained in the Italian culture like stylish design is to Scandinavia.’ Van Bruggen believes that composers turn to Italy because, ‘we look to other cultures in search of inspiration and impressions which we might not be able to find in our own backyard.’

Indeed ARCO would not exist if Australian musicians didn’t look further afield for their training and inspiration. Van Bruggen tells how she and Beesley ‘studied HIP together in The Netherlands from 1995 where we established our careers, performing, recording and teaching extensively in the Early Music scene in Europe. Many of the musicians we invite to perform in our orchestra have had similar career paths and it is this wealth of experience that makes the sound of our orchestra so deeply personal and special, and has allowed the Australian

new heights.’ Fiona Campbell will send hearts racing with selected arias from Rossini’s operas and then the orchestra will plunge the depths of emotions with Schubert’s Overture in C Minor. Rounding out the concert will be the piece from which the program takes its title, Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony. It is a venture into the unknown.

Operations Manager Nicole van Bruggen Romantic & Classical Orchestra to establish itself so quickly at such a high level.

That may explain the artistic success but the orchestral lifeblood comes from the fact that several of the musicians are able to contribute skills necessary to running an orchestra. Van Bruggen explains that this is the way of the modern world. ‘In an ideal world, musicians would have the freedom to focus purely on making music. In reality, many musicians, particularly freelance musicians, spend more time behind a computer than with their instruments in their hands.’ Van Bruggen herself came to found orchestra seventeen88 because ‘being highly specialised in the extremely niche area of historical clarinets, I had the choice to utilise my time in another area. Academia was an option or continuing to perform on modern clarinets as well as the old ones, but I have a natural entrepreneurial streak so [founding an orchestra] is the alternate pathway that I pursued.’ There are of course advantages to musicians working behind the scenes, in van Bruggen’s opinion, most notably ‘the integrity of the artistic goal.’ As an orchestra with a commitment to education, there is no doubt that having Megan Lang, a flautist, working as Education Coordinator has provided a deeper understanding of the needs of the student music community.

To return, though, to the music, if an ‘Italian Romance’ is the idyllic, an ‘Unfinished Romance’ is perhaps the more common, the one that leaves a scar. Rossini and Schubert are to be featured in this concert, not for their similarities but, as Gill explained, for the fact that their ‘treatment of the voice was diametrically opposed’. Yet each, in turn, ‘brought melodic writing and decoration to

The ‘Revolutionary Romance’, is, as the title suggests, all about advancing and change.

ARCO’s goal is to ‘inspire, educate and enlighten’ and van Bruggen explains how these ideas are realised through the program.

‘In our ‘Revolutionary Romance’ program I will perform the Mozart Clarinet Quintet on a replica of the exact basset clarinet for which Mozart composed this beloved chamber music work. This very special instrument is an inspiration in itself and audiences worldwide are always fascinated by the extraordinary history of this basset clarinet and its relationship to the Mozart Clarinet Quintet and Concerto.’ Basset clarinet aside, audiences will be enlightened by hearing Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola performed in its chamber arrangement and can be educated on the advancements of string playing, from the Classical to the Romantic period, through the Allegro Moderato from Louis Spohr’s String Sextet in C major.

So what does it take to raise an orchestra: opportunity, hard work, collaboration and determination. Luckily for ARCO, in Beesley, van Bruggen, Gill and Bayl there is no shortage of that. The nurturing will continue, the funding they’ll find, and the belief in the purpose, well it’s right there at the surface. At the close to the interview, van Bruggen states that ‘historical integrity and the presentation of concerts using the performance practices of the time for Romantic music are long overdue, and bring us in touch with the expressive and emotional realm of the 19th century.’ ARCO means to bow and the heart, it turns out, has strings to.

THE ACADEMY OF ST MARTIN IN THE FIELDS

PRINCIPAL CELLIST STEPHEN ORTON may seem rather bizarre but simply we have rehearsed it with him and it relies on everyone being on the ball all the time and principals like me and the principal viola will give little nods here and there and it works. We make it work.’

Stephen Orton, Principal Cellist Nelson Mandela, Shimon Peres, Neville Marriner… there are some people who we come to believe are immortal, and so when they die we are left not only bereft but also surprised. On the morning that Sir Neville (as he was affectionately known) passed away last October, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields were awaiting his arrival to rehearse a concert. No one had expected the man, who, at 92, had toured Asia with the orchestra he’d founded, to ever leave them.

This sentiment is relayed by Stephen Orton, principal cellist of the Academy for the past 32 years. The orchestra are set to tour Australia in April led by Joshua Bell who took over as Music Director in 2011, the only person other than Marriner to have held the post. The Australian tour will be a conductor-less affair with Bell directing from the concertmaster’s seat or performing as dual soloist and leader of the orchestra. Where this combination is given its greatest challenge is in the performance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Though, as Orton explains, to be part of it is an inspiring experience. ‘Everyone has to have their antennae out,’ he says.

‘We do have our leader, Harvey de Souza, giving a few signs to the wind players to help with some of the bits that Josh can’t lead but basically everyone is listening all the time as if you are playing chamber music. Now that

Chamber music and playing have been at the heart of the Academy since it was founded in 1958. To Orton, it is what gives the orchestra its essence and makes it so enjoyable to play in. ‘The Academy,’ Orton explains, ‘attracts people who are chamber music players, people who listen and react to what’s happening around, they’re not just following a conductor’s beat… It is quite fun, really, reacting with each other, there’s never a dull working moment, nothing is regular.’ This skill of listening and responding to each other may explain why the orchestra has reached such heights and have been able to make so many notable recordings. Essentially, though, it is also the skill that gives them their flexibility. ‘Working with Josh,’ Orton explains, ‘means you have to give more than 100%, you should be giving 200% because that’s exactly what he’s doing. [Artistically] he won’t let go; he’s looking for excitement and vitality.

He’s playing with full heart and energy all the time and so you can’t just sit there and play the notes, you have to play with full commitment.’

The energy should be electric, then, when the Academy performs their two programs at the Opera House. In the first program, Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture sets the stage for the invigorating Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. After the interval comes a lesser-known work (or at least a part of it). The 2nd movement was borrowed from Schumann’s Violin Concerto and turned into a stand-alone work by Benjamin Britten. The Academy have previously performed it as an encore to the Brahms Double Concerto for, as Orton ‘it starts with a little cello solo, which I shall have to be doing in Australia, which introduces the beautiful violin tune.

How would I say the opening is? It’s just like a little lilting melody, which is off the beat.’ Following this tender work will be Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, a piece that in Orton’s opinion, ‘speaks for itself.’

For the second program, the Academy turn to Mozart and Beethoven. ‘There’s quite a wonderful contrast in (this) program,’ says Orton, ‘ as the Mozart G Minor Symphony is actually quite a stormy piece. It’s very active and very big. And then we’ve got the contrasting D major Violin Concerto, that is almost like a trumpet when it starts.’ Though written just two years apart, the pieces capture some of the breadth of Mozart’s repertory. To complement their pairing will be Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony, ‘a massive piece,’ says Orton, ‘but a very good finisher to that program as well.’

The pieces may all be familiar but there is some comfort in that. The Academy is an orchestra that so many look on with a sense of familiarity and warmth. Australia has long had a relationship with the orchestra, for our Louise Hanson-Dyer commissioned some of their first recordings. To others, their fame is linked to the silver screen. In closing, Orton recounts how, ‘I remember once our American cab driver, while flinging our suitcases in the car, said, ‘Now where you guys from?’ And I said, well we play with the Academy of St Martin, and she said ‘Is that with Neville Marriner who did Amadeus?’ and she knew us from that!’

Allen Organs In Australia

AN OPERA YEAR OF SPECIAL EVENTS celebration (27 February) is for 250 years since Gluck’s Alceste was first produced in February 1767.

Composers have not been forgotten in these celebrations. In August it will be 150 years since the birth of Umberto Giordano and we’ll have his most famous opera Andrea Chenier (16th). Fromental Halévy died In October 1817 and we’ll remember him with his opera La Juive (19th). However, he’s probably best remembered as Bizet’s father-in-law!

L’Orfeo, Royal National Dutch Opera and Ballet Expect a year full of special events when you listen to opera on Fine Music in 2017. Once again we have planned a diverse range of operas to please every taste. Many operas are well-known but, as usual, we want to tempt you to listen to some of the lesser-known and even the obscure. These include Giuseppe Gazzeniga’s Don Giovanni and Georg Benda’s Romeo and Juliet.

Our plan for the first week of each month has four Mozart operas interspersed with the bel canto operas of Donizetti, Meyerbeer and Bellini. The second week of the month is devoted to 20th Century operas and the third week to Romantic era operas. Amongst these, you’ll hear some favourites such as Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Bizet’s Carmen, Falla’s La Vida Breve, Verdi’s Il Trovatore, Weill’s The Threepeny Opera and Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov. The fourth and fifth Wednesdays feature Baroque and Classical operas.

So what are the special events? How about a celebration of the publication of an iconic novel? John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men was published in 1937 and on 8 February we’ll broadcast Floyd Carlisle’s opera of the same name to celebrate the 80th anniversary of this very emotive novel. February also has three versions of the same story, the most famous of all being Mozart’s Don Giovanni (1st). Two weeks later, we have The Stone Guest (15th) by the Romantic era Russian composer Alexander Dargomizhsky and

then Don Giovanni (22nd) by Giuseppe Gazzeniga of the Classical era.

An exciting new discovery in our library has been the very first recording of Pergolesi’s L’Olimpiade, based on the ancient Olympic Games (29 March). It’s a year too late to be topical but we’ve only just acquired this recording. It’s a very rare work because Pergolesi died at the age of 26. Also in March there is a double bill of operas by two Australian women composers. The broadcast will be on 8 March, International Women’s Day. First will be Margaret Sutherland’s The Young Kabbarli followed by Moya Henderson’s Lindy. Most will know the story of Lindy which almost divided our nation when the events occurred. The Young Kabbarli is from an earlier era and tells of an episode in the life of Daisy Bates (1863-1951) who spent the greater part of her life caring for Indigenous people in the outback regions of Western and South Australia.

We’ve also looked at the anniversaries of the premieres of several operas. We begin in January with Zemlinsky’s A Florentine Tragedy (11th), premiered in January 1917, and Puccini’s La Rondine, premiered in March 1867 (150 years).

We had too much going on in March to place the opera there so we’ll hear it on 18 January. Also premiered in March 1867 was Verdi’s Don Carlos (15 March). Four weeks after listening to Benda’s Romeo and Juliet, you’ll be able to hear Gounod’s opera on 19 April to celebrate its premiere in April 1867. The next premiere

We don’t know the exact date of the birth of Johann Pepusch, or even the month in which he was born, but we do know that he was born in 1667. So that’s 350 years and worth celebrating for his contribution to English opera, The Beggar’s Opera.

Many people, and even record companies, assign John Gay as the composer. He wrote the libretto and gathered folk songs but it was Johann Pepusch who actually wrote the music and put it all together. It was so successful that it caused Handel to turn to oratorio composition (much to our delight!). We’re broadcasting The Beggar’s Opera on 27 September which should delight everyone.

The most extensive celebration for a composer will be for the 450 th anniversary of the birth of Claudio Monteverdi. The Programming Committee is planning a month-long celebration of all aspects of his music to be broadcast at different times of the day but it will begin and end with his three extant operas: L’Orfeo (26 April), The Return of Ulysses (24 May) and The Coronation of Poppea (31 May).

It is generally agreed that L’Orfeo was the first true opera. It tells the story of Orfeo who goes to the Underworld to bring back his deceased wife Euridice. Earlier in the year (25 January) we will have another famous, but later, version of this story: Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice.

Our opera team is looking forward to presenting these operas and we trust that you will enjoy this exciting year of opera on Fine Music.

FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS

Kenneth Duffield Australian inmate and author Dion Titheradge and they collaborated on the musical ‘Puss! Puss!’

During its composition, Kenneth and Eileen Gorst were married in London on 20th July, 1920 and they honeymooned in Paris shortly afterwards. At 18, she was nearly half his age.

Kenneth Duffield It is conventional for composers to develop their skills in a music institution but one of Australia’s most successful composers did so rather differently. Working as a boundary rider on 10 shillings per week at his family’s 37,000 acre merino stud farm in South Australia, Kenneth Lancelot Duffield would conceive songs and perform them on banjo, piano or autoharp to his family during evenings, often to their chagrin.

Born in the family mansion ‘Dundrennan’ at Glenelg on 31st May, 1885 Kenneth was awarded a Certificate of Merit in 1903 for rescuing a drowning man in the Onkaparinga River. After graduating at Cambridge University, where he played lacrosse and was a member of the dramatic society, he returned to the family farm in 1908 where one of his compositions was ‘On my Poison-Cart’. When re-vamped as ‘My Irish Jauntin’ Car’ it attained popularity and Kenneth turned his attention to composing musicals for amateurs including one that was staged at the Unley Town Hall.

In 1913 he sailed to England where he was admitted to the yeomanry of the British Army after the outbreak of World War I. Kenneth served in France rising to the rank of Captain before being wounded in 1918 and repatriated to London.

While spending nearly 6 months in hospital, Kenneth befriended fellow 8

When ‘Puss! Puss!’ was premiered at the Vaudeville Theatre in London on 20th July, 1921 it became an instant success with public and critics alike and staged before large attendances for 156 performances during 6 months. Kenneth was commissioned to write another musical and he responded with ‘Pot Luck’ which was produced at the same theatre for a continuous run of some 8 months from FEBRUARY of that year.

His next musical, ‘Snap’, opened at the theatre above from 11th August, 1922 and received some 900 performances with the Prince of Wales being a regular and enthusiastic attendee; but upon the death of his father in London earlier that year, Kenneth assumed the responsibility of running the family business and he and his wife returned to Adelaide to do so on 20th October.

They travelled to Western Australian during May and June of 1923 where Kenneth purchased 5 adjoining farms in the Brookton district to establish a merino stud farm. Upon their return to Adelaide their social life entailed going dancing, camping and attending the opera, theatre, garden parties, horse races, polo and cricket matches. Kenneth also received the first of a series of fines for exceeding the speed limit in his automobile.

His next work, ‘Healo’, was the first Australian musical to be produced at the Theatre Royal in Adelaide (to a full house on 24th May, 1924) and ran for 6 consecutive nights. The orchestration for the 24 instrumentalists was done by the conductor William Cade and a young Robert Helpman was one of the dancers.

Receipts exceeded 3,216 pounds, and after the deduction of expenses, a little

over 1,686 pounds was distributed to 3 charities.

Kenneth was sufficiently wealthy to host day long entertainments at his mansion to groups of friends. They would go swimming, play games, partake of repasts and enjoy the nearby funfair.

During 1925 Kenneth oversaw the successful production of ‘Snap’ in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane. He observed closely, and modified, edited and introduced new material wherever he felt the work could be enhanced. ‘Healo’ was staged in Adelaide to full houses from 4th-17th FEBRUARY in 1926 and enjoyed similar success at the Palace Theatre in Sydney for 6 weeks from 24th February, 1927.

A revised version of ‘Pot Luck’ was produced in Adelaide, Broken Hill, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane during 1930, being very successful with some 150,000 patrons in Melbourne and netting 2,626 pounds during the first week in Sydney alone.

In January 1931 his wife hurried to Perth to board a ship, ostensibly to visit her ailing father in England but in fact, eloping.

Kenneth was granted a divorce on grounds of her ‘misconduct’ on 10th FEBRUARY. He did not re-marry and allowed his mansion to be auctioned on 17th March, 1937.

Back in London in 1933, he witnessed another triumph with his musical ‘After Dark’ which ran for 166 performances; but not all his musicals were successful: ‘Don’t spare the horses’ was withdrawn after 5 performances in 1935. The theatre manager, who had engaged the orchestra for a fortnight, made them play to an empty theatre during the following week.

An autobiographical book ‘Savages & Kings’ was published in 1942 and by January 1949 had had sales of some 20,000 copies. Tiring of theatrical ventures, Kenneth returned to Glenelg in 1948 to lead an increasingly sequestered life before dying there on the night of 23rd November, 1958.

Ticket prices reach extraordinary heights!

The one-year old Bornholdt Jazz Trio from the Sydney Conservatorium Jazz Course, heard for the first time in Mosman in Mosman Council’s “Round About” on a warm late Spring evening at Balmoral Beach in October 2016, , played for a large happy audience who loved the gentle unexpected relaxed and easy style of the first of the three performing ensembles and wanted more.

Felix Bornholdt, piano, Jacques Emery, Double Bass and Alex Inman-Hislop, drums, will play a delightful program reminiscent of such wonderful artists as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and others, whose music cannot be forgotten because it still sounds so fresh –besides some of their own very fresh compositions - in a concert of just the right length - late enough not to spoil a Summer’s afternoon and followed by a chatty afternoon tea, early enough not to spoil a dinner.

Don’t be mistaken. These are real musicians who have studied their instruments and their music long and hard. Jacques Emery has also played Double Bass for the past three years in the Australian Youth Orchestra.

Orbiting around Cio-Cio-San (played by glorious soprano Maria José Siri) is a terrific international cast, including Annalisa Stroppa, Bryan Hymel, Carlos Álvarez and Carlo Bosi.

Widely acclaimed, the production has been acknowledged as a triumph.

Indeed, this opening night performance, captured live in HD, was received with a 15 minute standing ovation.

Not to be missed!

WHY I LOVE MUSIC - ANDREW DZIEDZIC In whatever I say, I don’t seek to limit or define what music might mean for anyone – or how it might affect us.

The experience of music is an intensely personal one which cannot be conveyed in words. We are constantly given the opportunity to expand our musical horizons in ways that don’t require us to put music into any box, such as “classical”.

These categories are meaningless. I believe that the only value of music is what we can personally get out of the experience.

As a child, I attended ABC Concerts with my parents, and they had a modest classical record collection at home which I listened to occasionally. With a continental background, classical music was always going to be “part of the furniture” in the family home, but like most teenagers in the 1970s, I also bought and enjoyed popular records of the era.

The tectonic shift occurred when I went to a residential college at Sydney University where a friend had bought an expensive quadraphonic stereo system and started playing Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor - a landmark performance by Karl Richter. I was spellbound.

It poured out like a cascading stream of colours through a cathedral’s rose window and as the work built in complexity it became transformed

into a kaleidoscope of indescribably beautiful musical colours - a tapestry that grew and grew in complexity. As the work reached its climax I realised that I had to get this recording; that I had to earn enough money to buy a similar quality hi-fi system and that I had to further explore the music of JS Bach. On my next holidays I worked for 6 weeks as a cleaner and managed to earn enough money to buy a quality hi-fi system. It incorporated a stereo FM receiver and that is how I first heard of a brandnew FM station – 2MBS! My musical horizons widened as I listened to the radio and acquired more and more LP’s – plus I started attending concerts. What was it that drove me to undertake this journey? It’s like asking what do you love about life; where do you start? As in life, so it is in music -- it depends on what you’re listening, and your appreciation depends on such factors as your mood, your alertness and your focus at the time. It also depends on the composer, and this is somehow filtered through your musical experience. The more you listen, the more you play, the more you sing the more you experience all aspects of music. It becomes a question of being able to hear the language and message of the music, or being able to interpret what the composer is trying to say. It also depends on how good the performance is – but

what is meant by “good” in this context is open to interpretation.

Music can also console us in times of grief or sadness or it might even reflect our joy at being alive! Sometimes music can take us back to a moment we associate with a particular work - reminding us, like Proust’s Madeleine, of a poignant tender memory or recollection.

At other times the music opens up vistas we have never experienced - the fjords depicted in the music of Sibelius or the beauty of the Italian countryside in Vivaldi’s music or Allegri’s Papal Chapel at Easter, or the splendour of the Doge’s marriage to the sea with a whole variety of Venetian composers; even despair in a deserted winter forest landscape in Germany with Schubert’s Wintereisse. Our emotional landscape and empathy grows as we join the composers on these journeys.

When it comes to Bach, he explores the limits of human creativity and complexity. He infuses us with musicality, with a sense of fun, with reverence and a sense of the infinite span of life. In other words, Bach’s music allows us to explore the limits of our own humanity.

Of course there are many composers who can affect us similarly but it’s Bach who achieves all these things in the greatest variety of ways – in ways that never cease to amaze and delight.

✶✶✶✶

Sir Karl Jenkins began his musical career as an oboist in the National Youth Orchestra of Wales and studied music at Cardiff University with Alun Hoddinott.

In 1966 tragedy hit the Welsh village of Aberfan in South Wales when a colliery spoil tip collapsed 40,000 cubic metres of mining debris burying Pantglas Junior School killing 116 children and 28 adults.

It’s a pity that this compilation wasn’t issued a month earlier and in time to be added to THIS SECRET WORLD The Choral Music of DAN WALKER Performed by Sydney Philharmonia Choirs featuring: The Combined Voices of Chamber Singers, Music Director Brett Wheymark and Vox, Music Director Elizabeth Scott.

Sydney Brass, Artistic Director Paul Goodchild

✶✶✶✶

It might be unfair to say that few people know about Dan Walker and his music particularly his choral work. But Melbourne composer, conductor and performer Dan Walker is one of Australia’s most in-demand choral specialists. He’s written for various organisations including Out There which was a featured piece in the 2014 South

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary Jenkins wrote this large work after a commission from the UK TV Channel 4.

It consists of 11 works with the libretto compiled by the brilliant Welsh poet Mererid Hopwood. The text is multilingual in English, Welsh and Latin (with four texts from the Requiem Mass). And the work was composed, conducted, orchestrated and produced by Jenkins.

There are many well known musical excerpts including All things bright and beautiful which features in the opening movement, a Welsh nursery rhyme is heard in the distance in the number performed

by Bryn Terfel. The beautiful Welsh love song Myfanwy is included because it was sung by rescuers digging for victims and

it’s heard on the euphonium, some of Alban Berg’s Violin concerto is also heard .

The Lux Aetenam closes the work and the orchestra concludes the work not in pomp and ceremony, but with a glistening orchestration of celesta, glockenspiel and various bells to depict ”light”, which quietly spoken by the children and sung by the children and the soprano, brings the work to a close.

The work is a very unusual one involving various vocal choral and instrumental soloists and performed with great sensitivity by all involved.

your Christmas wish list. But then do you really need an excuse to buy a decent CD – especially one that houses a compendium of noteworthy Australian classical singers that stretch from 1861 right up to Emma Matthews? There are singers here I haven’t even heard of. Singers like Frances Saville, Amy Castles, Walter Kirby and Lionello Cecil. And even some that are quasi wellknown like Malcolm McEachern, Harold Blair and Albert Lance are very difficult to acquire. Harold Blair, in particular, is of great importance to musicologists because he was one of the first classical singers of aboriginal descent. Albert Lance is also of interest because his real name was Lancelot Albert Ingram, was born in Adelaide and

built his reputation as a tenor in France where he is still much loved. The trouble with these archival recordings, of course, is the quality of the transfers to shellac. The coloraturas sound strangled and even the mezzos sound a trifle too tremolo-ish (if there is such a word). The gentlemen, even the tenors, almost sound natural. But then, I suppose, we should consider ourselves lucky to have a record of them at all. I am especially pleased to have recordings of the singers I have known….Robert Allman, Clifford Grant, Robert Gard, Heather Begg and, alas, Deborah Riedel who passed away at such a young age.

- Randolph Magri-Overend

Australian Primary Schools Choral Festival, where it was performed by some 14 000 young singers in numerous venues across the state.

Dan Walker is much involved with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and we’re all very familiar with the iconic 2009 I Still Call Australia Home advertising campaign for Qantas.

As a performer, Dan is a member of Sydney-based Cantillation, Pinchgut Opera and the Consort of Melbourne and was an associate conductor of Gondwana Choirs from 2006 - 2014. He is now both musical director of the Melbourne group, Choristry, and the newly created ‘Habeas Chorus’, a choir for the Melbourne legal community.

The commissioning by the many of performances of a mixture of voices and percussion on this CD were directed by a variety of people including Wheymark and Scott. The title of the CD was commissioned by Kim Sutherland and the Hunter Singers.

Throughout, Walker manages to capture a number of varying moods which stir the soul, and music that is inspired by the works of Australian poets.

Jazz CD Reviews McGann Live 81/83 Bernie McGann Move Records MD 3411

✶✶✶✶✶

Bernie MGann (1937-2013) was one of the most distinctive voices in Australian jazz. You could pick his hot, rasping, take no prisoners high speed alto runs in any ensemble. He led his generation of reed players and the local jazz landscape was diminished by his passing two years ago at the age of 76.

Luckily for us he left a considerable recorded legacy, and MCGANN LIVE 81/83 is a valuable addition to it. It comprises two sets with different quartets. The first under his name as leader is from the Capitol Theatre in 1981 and has a nimble Chuck Yates on

Secular Hymns Madeleine Peyroux Impulse!

✶✶✶✶

Secular Hymns comes twenty years after Madeleine Peyroux’s debut release, Dreamland, the album which catapulted her Nearness Joshua Redman & Brad Mehldau

✶✶✶✶✶

Released to coincide with their world tour of 2016 and their performances at various venues in Australia, this perfect musical pairing of two of the most prominent and highly respected improvising virtuoso performers in Jazz today, is in fact their first duo recording. Brad Mehldau first came to prominence as a member Joshua Redman’s quartet in the 1990s before becoming a bandleader himself. The pair reunited in 2010 when Redman was featured on Mehldau’s album Highway Rider. In 2013, Mehldau was featured as a performer and producer on Redman’s 12

piano, Ray Martin playing deeply melodic bass and drummer Ted Vining playing timekeeper. The three pieces are all originals and the leader is in fine form. Good to see another old friend, Horst Liepolt, given production credits.

The second session comes from 1983 at the Glasshouse in Melbourne with Bernie guesting with the Ted Vining Trio and the formidable Bob Sedergreen on piano, Barry Buckley on bass and a collection of other people’s compositions. Three bebop classics all taken at speed, and Bernie squeezing every drop of sad stuff from Billie’s God Bless the Child.

Both of these sessions are quite exceptionally good with Bernie at his coruscating best.

He rips into all his work with high-energy

creative intensity. Such fluent improvisation!

The first session for this reviewer slightly shaded the second. Bernie always seemed most comfortable playing his own stuff. Not previously available on CD, this 2016 release brings us 9 tracks and 79 wonderful minutes of listening. A crackerjack disc!

into the public eye. Her voice has often been compared to a mid-career Billie Holiday and that comparison remains valid on Secular Hymns.This is her seventh solo album release since the debut release, coming on the heels of the Ray Charlesinspired The Blue Room (2013). Recorded at the Parish Church of Saint Mary the Virgin in Great Milton, Oxfordshire, England, this recording finds the vocalist /guitarist delivering a strippeddown, largely acoustic set of warm, eclectic cover tunes.

Backing Peyroux this time out are guitarist/ vocalist Jon Herrington and bassist/vocalist, Barak Moori, both highly sought-after New York-based musicians with deep jazz, blues, and rock credits. Secular Hymns has the feeing of an intimate Peyroux concert from

which its roots are derived.The music is ‘summery’ and laid-back with the tunes of Tom Waits,Lennon/McCartney, Allen Toussaint, Howard Biggs and Joe Thomas being the standouts.The album makes fine use of Peyroux’s jazz chops throughout although Secular Hymns is really not a jazz album as such. Peyroux’s voice perfectly conveys every song’s emotion, no matter how deeply touching the subject matter is and the album will please her many fans no matter how ‘rootsy’ and mellow she may go on this outing.The recording continues her musical journey of exploring beyond the ordinary with a deeply spirited and soulful masterwork.

recording Walking Shadows. Nearness features live performances captured during a previous 2011 European tour, comprising of three original tracks and three familiar jazz standards.There is a meticulousness to the continuous process of abstraction that Mehldau applies to a tune with a certain density of information.This can be followed by a stripped down emotionally direct interpretation of a ballad that comes from nowhere and knocks the wind out of you with its simplicity and clarity. Highlights of the recording are a sixteen minute rendition of Hoagy Carmichael’s The Nearness of You which displays Mehldau’s harmonic skills with a particularly skilful unaccompanied break from Redman on tenor sax. Another

highlight is their interpretation of the Mehldau composition Old West with Redman’s dexterity and lyricism on soprano saxophone a sheer joy to listen to.

On all of the tracks there are musically intelligent conversations between two stellar artists with Redman chasing the tune while Mehldau deconstructs the harmony and rhythm.

As performers their virtuosity is unparalleled and highly recommended listening.

TER CDTER 1051 1:02 The impoverished Count Tassilo, under an assumed name, is appointed bailiff on Countess Maritza’s estate. He needs to earn a living and provide a dowry for his sister Lisa. Maritza, a young widow, arrives at the estate to celebrate her ‘engagement’, an invention intended to put off her numerous suitors. She chooses the name Baron Koloman Zsupán for her fictitious fiancé, from

Strauss’ operetta, The Gypsy Baron. Lisa is one of Maritza’s guests. Tassilo instructs her to keep his identity secret. A genuine Koloman Zsupán materialises, having seen an announcement of his ‘engagement’ in the press. Tassilo is heard singing Komm, Zigány (Come, gypsies) and Maritza orders him to repeat it. When he refuses, she fires him but before he can leave, she apologises. Zsupan has decided that he prefers Lisa to Maritza, whilst Maritza is increasingly attracted to Tassilo. Another guest reveals Tassilo’s identity and Maritza in a high temper insults Tassilo, who declares that he will leave.

However, before he goes, the repentant Maritza writes him a ‘reference’ which is in fact a proposal of marriage. The operetta ends with Maritza and Tassilo, and Zsupan and Lisa, engaged.

Indre Classics IND90152 58 Robert, a young French aristocrat with revolutionary ideas, flees to New Orleans in 1792. Under an assumed name, he sells himself as a bond-servant to planter and shipowner Monsieur Beaunoir. He falls in love with Beaunoir’s beautiful daughter Marianne.

Eventually he is tracked down by Vicomte Ribaud and put aboard a ship, the New Moon, to be returned to France. Marianne is travelling on the same ship, pretending that she is in love with the ship’s captain, Duval.

Robert and the bond-servants mutiny and, landed on the Isle of Pines, found a new republic. French ships arrive and Vicomte Ribaud expects them to conquer the island for the King of France. But the French Commander reveals that there has been a revolution in France and that all aristocrats must die unless they renounce their titles.

Ribaud, a Royalist, heads for execution, but republican Robert renounces his title. All ends happily for him and Marianne.

LENNIE: Anthony Dean Griffey, ten GEORGE: Gordon Hawkins, bar CURLEY: Joseph Evans, ten CURLEY’S WIFE: Elizabeth Futral, sop Houston Grand Opera Ch & O/Patrick Summers.

Trov 621/22 1:52 Lennie Small and George Milton are itinerant ranch hands, looking for work in America’s Dust Bowl during the Depression. They dream of making enough money to buy a plot together and to live out an American dream.

Lennie is a big man with great physical strength but an intellectual disability that leaves him child-like. They are on the run as Lennie, with no idea of his strength, assaulted a young woman. They find new jobs with a tough rancher, Curley, and share their dream of owning a farm with the other hands. When Curley’s wife flirts with the hands, Lennie accidently smothers her. Rather than see him hanged, George, still talking of their dream, shoots Lennie.

LP Melodiya/EMI SLS 5196 1:23 Pushkin’s 1830 version of the Don Juan story differs from the better-known libretto of Mozart’s opera. Don Juan has killed the Commendatore who is Donna Anna’s husband, not her father, while Don Juan’s previous conquest is not Elvira, but Laura, a young actress and Don Carlos is Laura’s lover. At the opera’s opening, Don Juan returns from exile seeking Laura who is with Don Carlos whose brother has been killed by Don Juan. The men duel and Don Carlos is slain. Don Juan, now in hiding and disguised as a friar, finds Donna Anna at her husband’s tomb and, with honeyed words, persuades her to let him come to her house the following night. Leporello asks how the Commendatore would react so Don Juan instructs him to invite the statue to keep guard at the widow’s door while she is being seduced. The statue nods its head in acceptance. Alone with Donna Anna, the ‘friar’ reveals his true identity as Don Juan and swears that he has never truly loved before. A knocking is heard and the statue says, ‘Behold me, your guest of stone. Give me your hand.’ Don Juan yields and is carried off to final retribution.

Orfeo C214902 1:42 Don Giovanni attempts to seduce Donna Anna.

Anna’s father, the Commendatore, challenges Giovanni to a duel and is killed. Ottavio, Anna’s fiancé, swears vengeance. Meanwhile Don Giovanni encounters his old lover, Donna Elvira. Maturina and Biagio are about to be married, but Don Giovanni chases off a furious Biagio and attempts, unsuccessfully, to seduce Maturina. Giovanni visits the Commendatore’s tomb where the statue accepts an invitation to dinner. Later that evening at Giovanni’s house, Elvira pleads with Giovanni to mend his ways but leaves when he refuses. The statue suddenly arrives and drags Don Giovanni to his death. Ottavio and the women enter and when Pasquariello and Lanterna describe Giovanni’s fate to them, all rejoice at his downfall.
