Lots to look forward to at this year’s Sydney Festival. Henry Mendelson catches up with popular Artistic Director Lieven Bertels who talks about juggling anticipation with reality in pulling together a major festival. Many will be pleased to know that his contract is going through to 2016 - the Festival’s all-important 40th anniversary. On air, our Contemporary Conductors series continues and, complementing this month’s broadcast dedicated to Simone Young, Randolph Magri-Overend tells us more about the life and loves of this revered maestro. Over thirty years, classical guitarist Tim Kain has mentored some of the finest emerging talent at the Australian National University, while managing a career as a performer and recording artist. This year a student of Kain’s - Stephanie Jones - won the National Fine Music Young Virtuoso Award only one of two guitarists to break through – the other, Andrey Lebedev was also a product of Kain’s teaching. But, as clearly dedicated as he is to education, while talking to Sue McCreadie, Kain reveals that he has “..always been a player first and a teacher second.” Read more on page 5.

Sad to say I’m leaving the editor’s desk after this issue. It has been a joy to bring you a great team of writers, and I’d like to particularly thank our long-term regular columnists - prolific author and ex BBC journalist Derek Parker, former News Limited scribe and jazz-lover Kevin Jones, travel and music writer Randolph Magri-Overend, author Stephen Pleskun, ex ABC and The Australian journalist Michael Morton-Evans and highlights writer Cynthia Kaye. That’s just a few, we also have exceptional guest feature writers such as Barry Walmsley, Henry Mendelson and Allan Scott-Rogers and a crew of CD reviewers like Phil Vendy, Emyr Evans, Frank Schostakovic, Richard Gate and others who select music for your listening pleasure. Our art director, Helen Hunter, is a rock. A very creative rock, totally unflappable and nothing gets between her and a deadline. Nothing. It’s a delight to see Helen’s layouts when they turn up each month. She makes us all look good. The guide pages are the toughest part of the whole publication with endless amounts of fiddly detail and happily they simply land on the editor’s desk fait accompli thanks to Chris Blower who has many clever and knowledgeable programmers working with him. Anne Irish and Helen Milthorpe offer their valuable input as sub editors and bless them, they raise their eyebrows only a little bit when they get last minute pleas for help. And last, because that’s the end of the whole process, but never least, is Sissi Stewart and her team who round up all the volunteers who tirelessly trudge the streets to pop Fine Music Magazine into your letter box each month, come rain, hail or shine. I hope you’ve enjoyed the work of these fine folk as much as I have. Happy 2015, wishing you health and happiness.

THE BERTELS FESTIVAL BRAND: MATCHING ANTICIPATION WITH REALITY

baroque beauty under the auspices of the Italian Cultural Institute entitled “Bach and the Italian Style”. Founded by harpsichordist, Michele Benuzzi, no stranger to Australia, the Trio has played at festivals all over the world and devotes itself to 17th and 18th century music. The trio - Benuzzi, harpsichord, Gianfranco Bortolao, oboe and Claudia Lopez Gomez, violin will undoubtedly beguile audiences with its virtuosity in a performance of six of Bach’s beguiling Trio Sonatas.

“

“ Sonically mesmerising.

Iva Bittová

This was to be the end enumeration of Lieven Bertels’ three Sydney Festivals. Now it seems it needs to be considered a work in progress, with his recent contract extended to encompass the Festival’s landmark 40th anniversary in 2016. Over alfresco coffee and cake (he ate it all!) in consummate Sydney sunshine, Bertels bared some candid observations for Fine Music Magazine on the realities of his Festival stewardship, past and present. Picking out highlight events is of course a predictable path to recall his 2013 and 2014 programming but putting propositions to Lieven Bertels rarely produces predicable responses. Looking back on the highlights of 2013 and 2014 he is quick to point to the personal pleasure of reconnecting the rich legacy of the early (Leo Schofield) years with the current eclectic standard of programming. He cites the example of 2013’s “Semele Walk” which combined opera with Vivienne Westwood’s outrageous costumes in a bold take on Handel’s opera. “There is a definite pleasure to be derived from being able to find such a range of different projects with which to build trust with your audiences - which only a Festival can do”, he comments.

“

“ Bold and boundary defying.

An example of “different” projects for which he is constantly on the lookout is the 2015 program inclusion of the 24-voice Latvian Radio Choir, one of the world’s boldest and most boundarydefying chamber choirs. Known throughout 2

Europe for its wide vocal compass, expansive repertoire and distinctive expression, the ensemble’s Australian debut will include a capella masterpieces such as the prayerfully intense reimagining of a Bach chorale by Henry Purcell and key pieces of Arvo Pärt’s extensive vocal repertoire in celebration of the Estonian composer’s 80th birthday. Bertels said, “The unique expertise of the singers becomes quickly evident as they explore traditional vocal techniques – the art of quartertone and overtone singing and inventive sound production technology”. Another of these Bertels’ branded multilayered performances promises to enthral audiences when, in an Australian exclusive, leading Belgian organist, Bernard Foccroulle and ground-breaking Australian video artist, Lynette Wallworth join forces to create a new audio-visual work. It will explore the dichotomy of day and night, vitality and destruction, happiness and terror. Named “Darkness and Light”, the work takes its title from pieces by Russian composer, Sofia Gubaidulina running the gamut of Buxtehude, Bach and Messiaen and a series of evocative sound pictures of Toshio Hosokawa. Surprisingly, he cites the City Recital Hall as a major “find” from his past involvement with local venues, enthusing over its beauty and world-class facilities and saying he would have liked to have programmed more events there, given its character and ambience. This will undoubtedly resonate in the Trio Arcomelo’s presentation of an evening of

While on the topic of Johan Sebastian, Bertels also highlighted other 2015 program events including the Australian premiere of renowned Belgian musical supremo, Alain Franco’s The Well Tempered Clavier Books I and II. This marathon four and a half hour curated program of the Bach master work of the 48 preludes and fugues re-orders the composer’s chronology, allowing the pieces to interact like characters in an exhilarating musical journey, somewhat like short stories in an anthology. Bertels also points to a potentially unique musical experience awaiting 2015 audiences when two contrasting Czech violinists, Iva Bittová and Hana Kotková realise masterpieces by Bartók. The former is described as having “a raw, refined, passionate and contained soul of a gypsy, the voice of a troubadour and the mind of a genius”, while a European magazine calls the latter “sonically mesmerising”. Although his record is replete with outstanding musical experiences in both the 2013 and 2014 line ups, Bertels sounds despondent over the absence in 2015 of any major baroque offerings,

his realistic streak, Bertels is mindful of the importance and priorities of the festival’s supporters, donors and sponsors.

Following in the footsteps of many a memorable past event in which live music and dance interacted with the stage - for want of a better term his “virtual trademark” - along comes French master of sublime and surreal theatre spectacle, James Thierrée to headline the 2015 Festival program. His “Tabac Rouge” underlines the 2015 Festival’s drive to bring large scale works from abroad exclusively to Sydney, with Bertels, describing Thierrée as “an incredibly multi-layered artist. On the surface he is very quirky and his very interesting gene pool, with his family connections (grandson of Charlie Chaplin and great-grandson of Eugene O’Neill), has made him a master of stage psychology. He takes risks with creating characters that could be seen as narcissistic but are in fact exposing him in an extraordinary way.”

circus, acrobatics “ …dance, and pantomime…

“

Familiar to Sydney audiences with three past festival appearances, Thierrée’s new offering, which has been confirmed as the first show of the 2015 program, merges fantastical moving sets and props with dancer-performance, blending dance, circus, acrobatics and pantomime. While some UK critics have described the production as a “beautiful beast of a show”, Bertels sums it up by saying that “presented as a festival work, ‘Tabac Rouge’ sits (entirely) in the right context.”

Inevitably such large scale undertakings make considerable inroads into the 2015 Festival’s budget which Bertels comments, with satisfaction, is very much in line with that of the previous year. He points out that 2014 saw considerable boosts to box office takings which have consequently built a budgetary buffer for the following year’s commitments. So here we have not merely an entrepreneurial master of ceremonies, but one careful with the cash, to boot.

anticipation “...matching with reality...

“

explaining that “we will be three theatres down with the Royal closed for refurbishments and the Lyric and Capitol unavailable”. As despondent as he may be over such a musical gap, it is in the arena of the unusual and the unpredictable that Bertels’ programming hat is thrown the highest.

Discussion of such veteran performers as Thierrée predictably led to last year’s swan song of the long and distinguished career of the Hilliard Ensemble which Bertels instantly names in response to being asked to name the highlight event of his entire Sydney undertakings. He waxes lyrical in his assessment of the Hilliard as artists and sensitive interpreters of the music of two centuries as well as wondrous human beings with whom he feels humbled to have worked. On the opposite compass point to the 2014 highlight Hilliard experience, he reacts diffidently to naming any so-called programming nadir, explaining that on the rare occasion such a situation surfaces it tends to arise from the mismatch of the artist with the Festival rather than any performance problem. Such observations demonstrate the sensitivity which Bertels brings to his curation of the Sydney Festival. He is mindful of the not inconsiderable amount of audience anticipation which past festivals have developed, insisting “we need to work carefully to match the anticipation with reality”. And demonstrating

brand of “ …Bertels’ cultural content…

It is such careful housekeeping combined with adventurous programming and acute sensitivity to audience nuances that prompted the City of Sydney to offer Bertels an extension to his contract to encompass yet one more Sydney Festival - its 40th anniversary in 2016. What’s in store for Bertels after (southern) summer 2016? The momentous appointment has not perhaps hit the headlines to the extent it deserves, but when the significance of his three-year stint as Artistic Director of the 2018 Cultural Capital of Europe event is more closely examined, its importance within the European context will reflect the high regard in which Bertels is held in his home country. The Netherlands and Malta are the two countries hosting a European Capital of Culture in 2018. And while Malta some time ago nominated its capital, Valletta as host, the Dutch city (and future temporary HQ for Bertels not far from his Amsterdam home) will be Leeuwarden, capital of the Friesland region - often described as the Venice of the North. Leeuwarden won the 2018 nomination on the basis of its capacity to plan a cultural program and its potential for a lasting impact and long-term cultural and social development of the city.

According to its artistic director to be, Leeuwarden has a first class concert hall and no fewer than 14 churches, many of which are currently empty and which he will aim to fill with the Bertels’ brand of cultural content. While he can still relish his love affair with Sydney for another year, when he leaves Lieven Bertels will take with him fond memories of the exhilaration he has experienced from his lower north shore home during long walks along the Harbour foreshores. “To me Sydney’s connection with the sea, its connection with its past in the caves along the coast containing Aboriginal carvings, is totally unique. I will always cherish that and I hope to return to it often in the future”, he said. It is perhaps hardly coincidental that the man at the forefront of the city’s cultural standards should retain in his memories of his years here, its natural uniqueness and beauty when he ultimately leaves to take up his next career phase. - Henry Mendelson

A LIFELONG LOVE OF GUITAR

TIM KAIN – MENTOR AND PERFORMER took to guitar composition like a duck to water. “I sent him a couple of articles on writing for the guitar, a fingerboard chart, and a collection of works that I thought were representative, both scores and recordings”. It’s a process he has followed with other composers.

During three decades as a full time lecturer at the ANU School of Music Tim Kain built the guitar department’s reputation to the point where it became the “go to” place in Australia, attracting the crème de la crème of up and coming players. Many of his students have gone on to win major international competitions and establish successful performing careers.

His most recent solo CD, Mirrors of Fire, was an all-Australian affair with works by Ross Edwards, Graeme Koehne, Robert Davidson, Richard Vella, Martin Wesley-Smith, and guitarist-composer Richard Charlton. He has also recorded three CDs with flautist Virginia Taylor, commissioning Character Interludes from Elena Kats-Chernin for the duo.

“

Reflecting on his time at the school he says it doesn’t feel anything like thirty years. “It feels more like five. I always loved teaching. It never got tedious. But perhaps that’s because I’ve always been a player first and a teacher second. Keeping your own playing active and alive feeds back into the teaching.” The guitar program was known not only for its high standards but also for the supportive atmosphere among the students. “I believe a lot in the value of peer-to-peer learning. They can support each other and learn a lot if the environment is conducive to that. I never had favourites. I know I am starting to sound like St Francis but my approach has always been democratic, even when I’m in a teacher role.” Permission to make mistakes is also important. “The whole obsession with not making mistakes - often competition driven - is paralysing to music creativity.” While conceding that winning the prestigious Alicante guitar competition early in his career did him no harm, he doesn’t push his students to enter them. “They sign themselves up. This is a generation that relates to competing. I’ve noticed how the younger ones can put themselves on the line and walk away unscathed - it’s very healthy. I do ram home to them though that they are still the same player the day after, whether they win or not.” Over the years many of his prize-winning students have spent time in Guitar Trek, a quartet with classically constructed guitars of different sizes - treble, standard, baritone and bass - known as the “guitar family”. Canberra luthier Graham Caldersmith came to him with the idea as early as 1982. “He’d already built the

baritone and drawn out the rest on paper. At that time I just had a small cohort of first year students. It wasn’t till 1987 that I realised we had the players to do it.” The group’s first outing was a memorial concert for Segovia and there were huge queues outside. “We told the audience to come back later and we played the whole concert a second time!” Two years ago, Guitar Trek turned 25 and celebrated with a CD of new Australian works on the Tall Poppies label. Its four earlier CDs are among ABC Classic’s best sellers. The repertoire takes in Led Zeppelin, Gershwin and the Spanish masters but the Australian works have always been popular with audiences. “A lot of the Guitar Trek pieces are engaging without being banal. During Asian tours, audiences pick out Australian pieces time and time again.”

was not a guitarist “butWestlake took to guitar composition like a duck to water.

“

I’ve always been a player first and a teacher second…

Kain has now commissioned upwards of 40 guitar works from Australian composers. His work with Nigel Westlake stands as particularly significant. He played guitar on Westlake’s Antarctica score, which later became a concerto, but the first commission was Winter in the Forgotten Valley for Guitar Trek. “I approached him to write a guitar piece in the late eighties. I’d heard a couple of his pieces and tracked him down. It was his first ever commission so I was lucky to get in early.” Westlake was not a guitarist but Kain says he

Another celebrated duo began with a late night call from the other side of the world in 1992. It was John Williams wanting to know if he would like to join his new group, Attacca, an intriguing septet of two guitars, violin, clarinet, piano, percussion and double bass. “It was John’s ideal combination of instruments as he saw it”. Repertoire was especially commissioned for the group, including from Westlake who was the group’s clarinettist. Attacca toured the UK and Australia, culminating in a concert at the Sydney Opera House. Williams then suggested he and Kain form a duo, which led to the best selling Mantis & The Moon CD and a worldwide tour. “It was pretty good going given we lived on other sides of the world,” he says. “John’s not a big rehearser anyway. Despite the image of controlled perfection he’s quite spontaneous. He’s quite happy to take it to a certain point and then let it happen in the concert.” We touch on the fact that there are no longer any real superstars of the guitar, though ironically the standard of guitar playing has risen dramatically in recent decades. “There are so many people who can play to a really high level. The sheer numbers of people playing the guitar means that a percentage of them are going to have that physical ability. There’s also a lot more knowledge about hand positions. There is an enormous amount of information on the internet. If you want to know how to finger something you have half a dozen players to choose from on YouTube.”

You can’t continue to play the “same old pieces - audiences and players get tired of them..

“

Controversial changes in 2012 saw the school shift away from elite performance training. He leaves his formal teaching role at the end of this year, other than supervising PhD students. This, he says, will allow more time for performing and for Guitar Trek, the pioneering, ensemble he has led since the late eighties.

The big challenge is how to engage audiences. “The worry for me is always repertoire. January 2015

CLAUDIO SGURA – NURSING A VOICE RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA AS SCARPIA

“

both legendary works of genius. Sgura agrees. Gobbi was a vain man. You only have to read his autobiography to realise that, but his operatic interpretations and voice suited the portrayal of evil characters. Walter Legge, the great EMI impresario and producer, called him the singing actor and if Sgura is using him as a template for his own vocal success then he has made a good choice.

“ I am evil because I am a man..

“

For those who were fortunate to witness his Iago in the Opera Australia production of Otello last year, you’ll be glad to hear that this month Claudio Sgura portrays the equally despicable Scarpia in the John Bell production of Tosca. You may recall the Otello production was the first outing for soprano Lianna Haroutarian who took over the role of Desdemona after the dismissal of Georgian soprano Tamar Iveri. Sgura received rave reviews for his portrayal of Iago. Nicole Lee wrote in The Guardian: “it is Italian baritone Claudio Sgura as Iago who is the most enigmatic…In Act 2 where Sgura - longhaired, long-limbed and lean - sings the famous ‘Cassio’s dream’ arietta, his baritone is so light and benignly tempered that the audience too is almost persuaded of Desdemona’s infidelity.” Iago is one of Sgura’s favourite roles. He calls him “perfidious with a strong desire to rebel” and a sadism that is much subtler than Scarpia’s. The latter is “a man full of hate - devoid of love, insensible to any calls of humanity. He is sadistic yet at the same time serene, confident, superior. His passion for Floria Tosca is the only mania he possesses” an obsession he does not disguise time and again. In the famous “Te Deum” monologue he announces that Tosca makes him forget God. He snaps his fingers and people jump. Incidentally John Bell’s production is set in 1943 Italy, a time when Mussolini’s successors fled and left the country The turning point was 2004 when he won the prestigious Voce Verdiane competition in to their German allies.

I asked Sgura whether he copied Gobbi’s interpretation of the “Credo” that Iago sings when he proclaims his evil slant on life. “I believe in a cruel God,” the aria begins, “who has created me similar to him and whose vileness I revere. I was born from some vile germ or atom. I am evil because I am a man.” Concluding the aria in a sotto-voce, he whispers: “And then? And then? Death is nothing! Heaven is an old wives’ tale!” This is followed by a maniacal shriek. Sgura does the same. - Randolph Magri-Overend

FORGOTTEN AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS MAY BRAHE

and Dulcie Holland were guests of honour at the Australia Hotel on the afternoon of 20th November. Clearly well regarded, May was given a reception organised by her brother at the Mosman Golf Club on 13th December.

With the world suffering the Great Depression American President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the first of his 31 “fireside chats” to boost morale on 12th March 1933. Broadcast on radio throughout the USA it was the first time the broader American public heard the voice of a President.

May travelled to Brisbane to be conferred honorary member of the Queensland Guild of Composers on 12th September 1947. On 11th February of the following year May, who had had more than 300 of her songs published, advised the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Broadcasting not to label music as “Australian” as the term would be understood to be derogatory.

The music played during the broadcast was Bless this House and it was also performed during Roosevelt’s funeral on 14th April 1945, and sung by Gladys Swarthout during the induction of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on 20th January 1953. The composer of this music was an Australian, May Brahe. Born Mary Hannah Dickson at 2 Vincent Terrace in George Street, East Melbourne on 6th November 1884, May received piano tuition from her mother who died at 51 Lisson Grove in Hawthorn on 23rd May 1898 when May was still in High School. May left school at the end of the following year to help the family by giving piano lessons whilst receiving piano tuition herself from Mona McBurney. May and Frederick Charles Carl Brahe, a clerk, were married on 12th November 1903 and sometime during that year May gave birth to their first son, Alec. A second son, Douglas, was a home birth at “Enmore” in St. Kilda Street, Elsternwick on 21st October 1905. May commenced writing songs and by 1909 began to have them published on a fairly regular basis. They were taken up by distinguished singers and performed in Melbourne before May paid 17 pounds Australian to sail to London alone in early 1912 where she obtained work as pianist at Terry’s silent cinema in The Strand and was paid royalties of twopence for every sheet music copy of her first major success It’s Quiet Down Here. She was sufficiently financial to return to Melbourne in early 1914 and gather her husband and sons to return to London where she gave birth to daughter Marita later that year. Her output of songs remained steady, as did her income, but her husband died from a motoring accident in London on 2nd August 1919. Three years later, on 24th August, May was remarried at the registry office in Paddington, 8

London. Her new husband was an Australianborn actor, George Albert Morgan, and they were blessed with a son, Harold, in 1924. In February of that year the Australian Musical News featured May being interviewed. She was doing very well. Her annual income was in the vicinity of 4,000 pounds sterling mainly from royalties with more than 20,000 sheet music copies of It’s Quiet Down Here and I Passed by your Window having been sold in Britain alone. The year 1927 began inauspiciously when May’s publisher, Enoch & Sons, went into liquidation. She transferred to Boosey & Hawkes and composed the music to ‘Bless the House’.

Two years later, May was photographed sipping the latest blend of Lipton tea for an advertisement in the Women’s Weekly magazine.

teacher called Greg Condon. They married, now have two grown up daughters, and to ensure they spent the maximum time with each other she taught him to love opera and in turn he instructed her on the finer points of cricket. But more of that in a mo.

Daniel Barenboim was a vital “ingredient in my development…

“

Simone toiled as a repetiteur at the Australian Opera with the occasional conducting stint from 1983 before joining Cologne Opera in 1987. There followed the purgatorial years which husband Greg equates to being in a wilderness when Simone seemed to have fallen off the edge as far as Australia was concerned. The people in Cologne, recognising what a vast talent she had, exploited her to the full.” Then came a stroke of fate; she met Daniel Barenboim. “He was a vital ingredient in my development,” Simone recalls. “I assisted Daniel in Bayreuth, then in Paris and then he hired me as a conductor at the Berlin State Opera.” Invitations began to flow from the major opera houses, including Australia.

The evening of Wednesday 20 April 1983 was like any other. The temperature was quite temperate. At the Lane Cove Town Hall, however, the evening was hotting up and in a state of controlled panic. It was the opening night of the Lane Cove Light Opera Company’s initial production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury and HMS Pinafore. The musical director was Greg Yurisich (then a principal baritone at Opera Australia), the director was Stuart Maunder (later to become artistic administrator at Opera Australia) and looking after everything that nobody else dared touch and buzzing around in his usual cheerful manner was the late Gordon Wilcock (then a principal tenor, also at Opera Australia). But there was one other outstanding event that night. Simone Young, then 22, took up a baton for the first time. Even then she showed a confidence and maturity that has since characterised her

professional life. She wore a basic black dress and heels. These days her conducting heels have gained in stature and reputation but her little black number remains. Born to immigrant parents, Harry from Northern Ireland and Simone senior from a small island off the Dalmatian coast, Simone was educated at North Sydney’s Monte Sant’Angelo Mercy College. Music was an obsession even then, but more as a teaching pursuit. Further studies at Mme Leila Chalmers piano tuition school on Manly’s Eastern Hill followed. It proved to be a starting point for other current music identities - Elizabeth Green, Jonathan Biggins and Phil Scott – each of them creating little musical niches for themselves in Australia. Further studies at the Sydney Conservatorium proved anti-climactic for an independently-minded Simone and she sought solace in teaching at Riverview College where she met a French

Coming back to the cricket. “I immediately developed a love for it,” she admits. “I like the strategy and the mental games that are part of it. When we were saving for a house I even worked part-time at the Sydney Cricket Ground selling meat pies and hot dogs. That was the summer Greg Chappell scored a double century in a Test match when he was ill.” Even when away from home she keeps in touch with Australian cricket via satellite TV. Not like the bad old days when she and Greg were forced to listen to the BBC short-wave transmission of the Ashes Test in January 1987 “while huddled for warmth in Paris. Snow was piled high in drifts outside and to make matters worse there was a power strike. We each had three layers of clothing plus all the doonas and blankets we could find.” Simone’s other great love is old-time movies. “It’s tied up with my job really,” she explains. “I don’t usually get home much before 10 on most nights. To wind down I watch TV and if I’m lucky I might get reruns of the old black and white Perry Mason movies. My all-time favourite is Singin’ in the Rain because I think Gene Kelly is terrific. But I’ll watch anything with Judy Garland whether it’s good or bad. I love Bette Davis, Katharine and Audrey Hepburn.” Lately she’s discovered Marlene Dietrich. “They’re all so relaxing and pure escapism, especially January 2015

of the State Opera and eventually chief conductor of the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra. She is conscious of following in the illustrious footsteps of Gustav Mahler whom she admires greatly. She also loves the music of Bruckner, Brahms and Wagner - “By the time I finish in 2015 we will have recorded all his (Bruckner’s) nine symphonies plus his two study symphonies.” I asked her about Bruckner’s zero symphony (one of the study symphonies): “Outside of the German-speaking world it’s not generally performed. Bruckner sketched the zero between the first and second symphonies and then set it aside -it’s the symphony in D minor (Die Nulte). There is also the double zero symphony in F minor.”

the musicals. My idea of bliss is watching the movies with a glass of red wine, a really good blue cheese with a few dates and walnuts.” But how did a lass from suburban Balgowlah get to become this titanic, albeit high-heeled, figure in Australian music? “Nowadays, I keep falling over myself if I wear flats,” she jokes. Seriously though…. “I guess from the outside it looks like ambition,” she explains when pressed for the secrets of her success. “It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with needing to make music in the best way I am capable of, which automatically means that as your own standards improve you start looking for better orchestras and better singers. Plus, you soon realise you need to learn more languages. And [to understand the thinking behind the various compositions] you begin reading the philosophies the composers read, you start seeking the art work available to them and you become eager to experience the conditions of the halls they performed in. And so you start climbing that ladder. I’ve always said I’ll do things to the best of my ability and to do that I need to have the best people around me.”

I am a musician whose “instrument is the orchestra.

“

But what does conducting mean to her? “I am a musician whose instrument is the orchestra. It is a huge privilege to spend my life performing the great masterpieces of the entire classical repertoire. It is a hugely demanding profession, physically and mentally, and yet it is my profession. There is very little magic about it 10

- the old adage of five percent inspiration and ninety-five percent perspiration still holds.” Australia, and particularly Sydney, loves Simone. I recall one evening late in 2003 when she conducted the Elizabethan Trust Orchestra in a concert which included Holst Planets and Mahler’s Rückert lieder. The audience was transfixed as Simone swayed, danced, cajoled, swept, squatted and sensually redefined the art of conducting. We clapped, stamped our feet and “bravoed” well before the final chords of Pluto had time to settle. It wasn’t Sydney anymore; it was Madrid during a bullfight or Paris after France had won the soccer World Cup or Australia after winning an Ashes series five-zip. What has happened to the conservative classical Sydney audience of yore? Has Simone Young’s presence alone changed musical mores? The reality is Australia can’t get enough of Simone. They love her with an unreserved adulation shown only to a favourite daughter or a talented niece or even a spoilt grandchild. Perhaps it is because we have become accustomed to the anonymity of the conductor operating from an operatic pit with just the occasional glimpse of a baton or a hand beating time, but I have never seen Simone dressed in full conductor’s regalia black tails, flared pants and a daring neckline replacing the obligatory white bib. It suited her flamboyance. With her flowing locks swaying this way and that, she reminded me of a romantic figure from some bygone era. But, alas, soon after that, she was gone. Opera Australia would not renew her contract and she popped up in Hamburg as chief executive

As already mentioned, Simone will be leaving Hamburg in 2015. No one as yet knows where she’ll be going from there or which musical posts she’ll occupy. She has always maintained that eventually she’ll come back to Australia but is next year too soon? “…that’s the year my daughter (Lucy) finishes school. Yvann (the eldest) is 25 - she’s married and is studying physics in Oxford. She’s working as an auditor in London. She’s also writing a book and has her own translation company. Lucy is 16 and wants to be a harpist. She goes to school in Hamburg and is completely bi-lingual.”

So what are her plans for the future? “I am currently in my final season in Hamburg. It is my 10th here, and that makes it one of the longest tenures of either an Intendant or a Musical Director here. I always felt that 10 years was a realistic time-span in which to plan and produce a broad range of repertoire and to develop relationships with artists and directors. From July 2015, I return to being “just” a conductor - farewell to admin, politics, personnel issues, etcetera - and I will travel the world far more extensively than I have been able to do during my time in Hamburg. It is with pleasure that I start to include concerts tours in the US and Asia into my schedule, and I also hope to spend at least a little more time relaxing in Sydney.” My favourite story about Simone has nothing to do with her waving a baton or being an executive of some symphony orchestra or renowned opera company. It’s one that she related on a television program years and years ago. It concerns Yvann when she was three going on four. “Mummy,” she said, “when you’re away from home there’s a hole in my arms.” - Randolph Magri-Overend

FLASHBACK WITH DEREK PARKER WHO WAS GEORGE BASIL HINDENBURG?

the podium in 1915 for “ ..hethelefttrenches of Flanders

“

As a conductor he soon began to establish something of a reputation outside Torquay. Hearing of the Wagner Festival he put on there in his second year, Thomas Beecham invited him to repeat it in London - where he met Percy Grainger, who became a life-long supporter. In the following year he mounted a Richard Strauss Festival, which rather startled Torquay - Strauss’ work was still something of a shock even to metropolitan concert-goers.

His career in the town was short: he left the podium in November 1915 for the trenches of Flanders, was wounded while leading his company in a typically ludicrous action, and remained in the army until the end of the war. Returning home, he was engaged at Brighton, where he continued to champion Strauss and Wagner, despite the feeling against them but also presented new British works, and as was the habit of the times mixed symphonic music with lighter works by such composer as his great friend Eric Coates. (They shared an extravert sense of humour, Coates carefully starting one lighthearted work with a drumroll and crash of cymbals which brought the audience to its feet convinced that it was the beginning of the National Anthem). Cameron loved the enthusiasm of the seaside audiences, going on from Brighton to Harrogate and Hastings. He was to become extremely well-known over the next sixty years, particularly as a partner of Malcolm Sargent as a resident at the Albert Hall during the annual Prom seasons. He never forgot the enthusiasm of the audiences at Torquay, however, and was an enthusiastic ally of the British sea-side towns which for some time still supported professional orchestras - Scarborough, Westonsuper-Mare, Bournemouth, Eastbourne, Folkeston and in particular Harrogate, where he conducted the municipal orchestra in daily concerts at the Royal Hall during the summer. In this he was carrying on a tradition which

“Sargent was a master politician.

“

Who, indeed. The music-lovers of the English seaside town of Torquay were certainly somewhat confused when he appeared as founderconductor of the town’s municipal orchestra.Why had the council appointed a German? The truth came out in 1914, when in the local paper two headlines appeared side by side: HINDENBURG BREAKS THROUGH THE TANNENBERG LINE and HINDENBURG’S WAGNER FESTIVAL GREAT SUCCESS. The conductor was billed the following week not as George Hindenburg but as Basil Cameron. Cameron had in fact been born in Reading, the son of a German immigrant family. His musical ability sent him to the Berlin Hochschule, where he studied the violin under the great Joseph Joachim, and any Torquay resident who had happened to go to a concert by the London Symphony Orchestra might have recognised him from the ranks of second violins.

had started in Eastbourne in the 1870s, when the railways began to bring large numbers of holidaymakers to the seaside towns - families who wanted to be entertained by orchestras conducted by such conductors as Dan Godfrey at Bournemouth and Alick Maclean at Scarborough, who treated their audiences to Bach and Beethoven alongside selections from the latest musical comedies). Of course it was all too good to last. At Harrogate, Cameron eventually faced opposition from members of the council who believed that (to quote a letter in the Harrogate Journal) “the minority who appreciated orchestral music have had a wonderful time at the expense of the community for nearly thirty years, for here they have found a municipality willing to enforce payment by those who did not appreciate it.” It was time money was spent on more popular entertainment such as the dodgems and helterskelters at the amusement park. Cameron went off to become music director of the San Francisco Orchestra (jointly with Issay Dobroven) and later of the Seattle Symphony. Bernard Shaw praised him highly, and Percy Grainger much admired his conducting, “the normalness of his tempi and the beautiful tonal balance he keeps so scrupulously” - though a violinist who played under him once told me that on the podium he resembled a man trying desperately to climb out of a sack, and that his beat was often unintelligible.

He returned to England in 1938, and guested with most of the British orchestras until he was recruited by Sir Henry Wood to assist at the Proms. After Wood’s death he worked with Sir Adrian Boult until Malcolm Sargent became principal conductor in 1947 - a post Cameron once told me he had always understood would be offered to him. The unkind suggested that it was Cameron’s undemonstrative personality which was the main reason why he got on so well with Sargent. He was not bitter, however, though he did remark to me that “Sargent was a master politician”. Few of his recordings - which included some notable performances with Benno Moiseiwitsch - are available; but they are treasured by collectors, and such performances as that of the rare Liszt arrangement of Schubert’s Der Hirt auf em Felsen which he conducted with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf are still remembered by enthusiasts. Modesty is an admirable virtue; but in the end it does an artist’s reputation little good. - Derek Parker

This recording is special in that, as they did for the recording of the Brandenburg Concertos, the Orchestra used single players and a low pitch. Using one player per part creates a wonderful chamber music feel and allows the flexibility that is essential in Bach’s music. Articulation is always clear and well supported throughout and what the sound loses in texture it gains in delicacy and independence. As to style and character of the dances, Eggar says that in recent years there seems to be mounting competition to see who

and yet just as charming pieces that Naxos has discovered to titillate our ears, and broaden our knowledge. Most of them are performed on piano but some get the full orchestral treatment. I was surprised to hear that a piece Darius Milhaud composed originally for a Chaplin 1916 movie and called The Ox on the Roof is a well-known composition in its own right. Written when Milhaud lived in Rio de Janeiro, it has a distinct Latin-American rhythm. Other endearing pieces (played on the piano) come from Edvard Grieg’s Norwegian Folk Song collection, Messiaen’s discordant Catalogue of Birds and Little Sketches of Birds (he certainly liked his birds did Olivier) and Poulenc’s History of Babor, the Small Elephant. Even Vivaldi gets into the act

I think Frank Sinatra started this caper of singing with people who aren’t there. He’d sing in one studio and was eventually joined electronically with his duettist singing thousands of miles away. Others followed suit, Tony Bennett notably. And now Barbra Streisand has joined the club, although, to be fair this is her second attempt with the format, the first attempt (oddly enough titled “Duets”) being merely a trial run. Only joking! Actually, Ms Streisand has gone one better on both her albums. She’s actually singing with people who have passed away - there was Sinatra himself, Ray Charles, Barry Gibb, Judy Garland and, to a certain degree, Barry Manilow (only joking again) on the first album - and she repeats the dose on this CD

To do so would be to neglect the character of the dances themselves, particularly that of the Bourrée which should have a slightly mucky, farmer-like tread! Acquire the disc, enjoy its captivating attractiveness, agree with the rather fast Bourrées, wonder why the Badinerie - very often a show off piece - is contained at a rather sedate pace along with the Overture of Suite No.3, linger over the Air (on the G string). There are other well-known dances to savour too. It’s a must-have CD and you’ll salivate as you listen to the wonderful musical effects. - Emyr Evans

Streisand has a super-lyrical voice that can enchant even the most cynical of listeners. A little bit on the nasal side but it sells records. Also of note on this album is a duet she sings with her 47-year-old son, Jason Gould. But perhaps the pick of the bunch is It Had to be You the duet she sings with Michael Bublé where the initial slow tempo picks up some brass along the way and climaxes as a resoundingly swinging number. - Randolph Magri-Overend

Vienna State Opera debut, his 46th with the Metropolitan Opera and his 45th with La Scala. He has conducted more than a combined 500 opera and symphonic performances and, just in opera alone, has sung approximately 145 roles in over 800 performances. So why should he come out with an album as disappointing as this one? Only he knows the answer, of course, but it seems to be a current trend for classical singers to try and develop a taste for the exotic! A challenge I suppose. Years ago, Dame Kiri te Kanawa hankered to sing some Gershwin songs, managed to attract Nelson Riddle to arrange them, and the CD bombed. I have just reviewed an album where Jonas Kaufmann crooned and warbled his way through some 1920s cabaret

songs and operetta arias. Fortunately, his contributions have been better received than Dame Kiri’s. And now we have Placido Domingo’s latest efforts where he sings in a voice of underpowered volume (no great explosion of sound here..except perhaps on one or two occasions) songs from a variety of countries that include Spain, Italy, Corsica, Israel and others. Some songs are recognisable (just) while others are new to my ears. The famous Neapolitan song Turna a Surriento is perceptible through the haze of flute, clarinet and other exotic instruments, as is Plaisir d’amour and Aranjuez. As for the others….in some cases I can’t even tell what language Domingo is singing in! - RMO

from birth, was appointed organist at Notre Dame at the age of 24 where he remained until his death. The first movement of the Pierné is perhaps not very interesting, but the second movement, based on a Basque dance known as the Zortzico, is most engaging. The final movement marked vivo e agitato works itself up into an orgy of almost Tristanesque intensity. The Vierne quartet (written when the composer was 24 but not published in full for many years) is probably superior musically. The themes have more character and the development of them is more thorough. The second movement is particularly enjoyable and the slow movement has genuine feeling. The music flows more naturally than does that of Pierné. Both performances are highly

accomplished and tonally pleasing and this disc should be of interest to anyone wanting to explore the byways of French music. - Richard Gate

We mourned the passing of Peter Sculthorpe in 2014 and many of us wanted to celebrate the huge contribution that this great Australian musician has made to the culture of the country. As is the custom when great musicians die, we have enormous difficulty in choosing music to reflect attractiveness and diversity of the repertoire. In a nutshell how can any of his works not be considered for a CD such as this? So there’s a wide range of styles from different periods of Sculthorpe’s life, varying moods reflecting his strong affinity with the landscapes of the outback. Songs of Sea and Sky, a work for flute and piano was inspired by a traditional dance song from Saibai, an island in Torres Strait. It’s a work collected by Jeremy Beckett in 1961 and concerns itself with sea voyages,

flights of birds and changes in sea and sky. Kakadu, a work for guitar in four movements and premiered by Australian John Williams, along with Sculthorpe’s guitar concerto, has been widely acclaimed as an important contribution to the guitar repertoire. Also included are Wagogo, featuring throat singing - where the singer manipulates the resonances and Dream Tracks - again influenced by Kakadu National Park, a favoured source of Sculthorpe’s inspiration. In addition, the CD includes works for string ensembles, Little Suite for Strings, String Quartet no.9 and Night Song, all delightful. A strong flavour of the extent of the style and range of Sculthorpe’s music is readily available in this recording. - EE January 2015

JAZZ CD REVIEWS Discourse with Kevin Jones

LET YOURSELF GO: CELEBRATING FRED ASTAIRE Stacey Kent Candid CCD 79764

✶✶✶✶

I was so impressed by vocalist Stacey Kent’s latest album, her tribute to Brazilian music called The Changing Lights, I began searching for the earlier releases of this American but UK-based vocalist, being lucky enough to come across this exceptional 1999 tribute to Fred Astaire, Hollywood’s greatest song and dance man. Astaire has been honoured on disc before, most notably by Mel Torme in 1956 on his second and one of his best sessions with arranger Marty Paich. As Astaire introduced and help make popular more standards than any other artist, any tribute would have to include some of the

✶✶✶✶ This two-disc set is a must for collectors and guitar buffs - four albums recorded between 1957 and 1959 by one of the greatest on the instrument in stellar company. Pride of place goes to the Poll Winners sessions from 195758 with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, three musicians with very much in common - exemplary whether as soloists, in the section of a larger group or as accompanists. The greatest recordings by small groups can be described as conversations but with this trio add the word “kicks”, the enjoyment of just 16

cream from The Great American Songbook by the Gershwins (George and Ira), Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern. Relaxed sums up this session - an intimate, melodic conversation between Kent and the listener in the tradition of Astaire especially when she is accompanied by David Newton’s piano on an elegant They Can’t Take That Away From Me. Newton was her accompanist for 10 years and their empathy shows. As is always the case her accompanists include the Stan Getz tenor saxophone stylings of her husband Jim Tomlinson who switches to clarinet on One For My Baby (And One More For The Road), the sound of the instrument’s middle register adding the right atmospheric touch of melancholy to what Frank Sinatra called the greatest of all saloon songs. His tenor, always a pleasure to the ear, is shown to advantage on Isn’t It A Lovely Day and They All Laughed. Add

Colin Oxley’s excellent guitar work and the result a lightly swinging S’Wonderful. And so is this album.

“The true goal of music is melody!” Never a truer word was spoken especially this quote by Johann Philipp Kirnberger, a leading theorist and commentator on music in the 18th century, taken from the liner notes of Houston Person’s latest album. It not only sums up the way I feel about music but also what I consider to be the tenor saxophonist’s best release on the HighNote label. One of my listening pleasures is relaxing to the distinctive sound of Person’s burnished drawl; I use his version of the ballad If It’s The Last Thing I Do as my theme on After Hours (10pm Saturdays). This is a stellar session in every sense of the word. Person is joined by long-time companions bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Lewis Nash but adding spice to the group are the cool sophistication of Steve

Nelson’s vibraphone and LaFayette Harris’ piano. The music of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart dominates The Great American Songbook and there are three examples here: the ballad My Funny Valentine is reborn as a joyful, swinging romp; Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered is dominated by Nelson’s vibes as he first states the verse unaccompanied before being joined by the rhythm section to explore its sophisticated harmonies; and on You’re Nearer, Person embroiders the melody complemented by superb solos from Nelson and Harris. However, the outstanding track is Try A Little Tenderness which typifies Person’s bluesy approach to a ballad - Harris’ eight bar solo is sublime. Albums like this are few and far between, so don’t miss it!

playing together on a program of standards, tasteful and swinging. The jazz interpretation of Bizet’s Carmen is probably the weakest of the four albums although it is clever, the musicianship skilful and laced with humour. Highlights include Kessel’s consistently fine guitar work, Ray Linn’s authoritative trumpet and Andre Previn’s crisp piano. The best track: The Gypsy’s Hip (based on the opera’s Gypsy Dance) where both Kessel and alto saxophonist Herb Geller stretch out in exciting fashion. The most interesting of the four is the then contemporary or West Coast jazz treatment of songs featured in the movie “Some Like It Hot” set in the 1920s. The addition of an extra guitar to an already cohesive rhythm section sets the scene for some relaxed blowing by trumpeter Joe Gordon and alto saxophonist great Art

Pepper who not only proves a hairy-chested tenor player but blows warmly on clarinet. A delightful touch is added to Sweet Sue where Kessel plays unamplified guitar while Manne wails on a suitcase. This is happy jazz.

SWINGING ON THE VINE KEYBOARD MASTER OF TASTE

Hank Jones

One of the joys of my discussions with Big J in my Hunter Valley hideaway is that there are no arguments, maybe the occasional snort but that ends when I fill his bowl with red wine, his eyes lighting up with piggy delight. Such was the occasion this morning when sitting against the wall, my ragged T-shirt stained red and my shorts crying out for a wash - I can imagine the screams of “slovenly” from The Voice - I was reminiscing about the summer days of my misspent youth when the pre-dawn cries of birds heralded my arrival home. Ah those buxom farm girls, a mixture of scent, Johnson’s baby powder and passion. Was it worth it? That’s something I often contemplated as I rested my head on a typewriter in the wee small hours of a Sunday morning vainly seeking inspiration as I stumbled through a fog of tiredness vainly seeking the words to describe an innings of authority I had never seen. A century always looked imposing in any cricket score sheet which I always attempted to type before I left the newspaper office for the local dance. With fatigue quickly draining my limited pools of inspiration, my ears caught the sound of a piano swinging joyfully on a Sydney radio station. I increased the volume as the ensemble stated the theme of Blues From Neither Coast written by Manny Albam, one of the top jazz arrangers of the 1950s and 1960s. It came from a 1957 New York session, the album released on the old Coral label as The Jazz Greats Of Our Time, Volume One. Albam would later supervise a second session with important jazz musicians from the West Coast. The tentet more than lived up to its title Art Farmer, Nick Travis and Bob Brookmeyer

formed the brass; the reeds were Al (Cohn) and Zoot (Sims), Phil Woods and Gerry Mulligan with the dean of bass players Milt Hinton, drummer Osie Johnson and the pianist, Hank Jones, providing the foundation. Jones, Hinton, Johnson and guitarist Barry Galbraith were known as the “New York rhythm section”. They were used on countless jazz recording dates because they could adapt to the sounds of many different artists. The Jazz Greats recordings remain a distant but enjoyable memory through the soloing of Zoot and Jones, especially the latter who if I recall correctly was described by critic Leonard Feather as a “modern day Teddy Wilson”. The beauty in Jones’ playing was his ability to blend the best parts of his early influences, Art Tatum, Fats Waller, Bud Powell and Wilson into his own unique sensitive style with its graceful lyricism, exquisite touch and gentle authority. His solos were full of grace, logic and beauty giving the impression that he was almost singing into the piano. It was his sensitivity that made him an ideal accompanist to singers, especially Ella Fitzgerald with whom he worked for five years from the late 1940s into the 1950s. He was hired by Ella in 1947 when she was beginning to mature as an artist. In matching her speed of thought and vocal elasticity he became the quintessential accompanist through his spontaneous shading, colouration and enhancement of the music around him. In the mid-1940s the New York jazz scene was centred on 52nd Street, the legendary “Street which never slept”, where jazz of every era and persuasion was played in the clubs, many side by side or opposite one another. The

musicians would go from one club to another and play all night long. This is where Jones first began playing with alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, the tragic genius of modern jazz. He would later say in an interview in Down Beat magazine: “I learned an awful lot playing with Charlie Parker. Every time I played with him it was like a 40-year course in harmony, in melody, in harmonisation, in counterpoint, everything. The man was a genius. “It’s just like listening to Art Tatum. I used to hear him live. It didn’t matter where he was playing. After he got off from work he would always go to an after-hours club and play until daylight the next day. I used to sit in the middle of these sessions. A 40-year course in everything: harmony, counterpoint, improvisation, taste! How can you teach taste? You don’t. You just acquire it. You listen and you have it.” (I smirk on reading these words, repeating them to Big J who nods sagely as I again fill his bowl with red wine. Such an intelligent pig!) The eldest of three of the most revered brothers in jazz, Hank was content to keep a low profile compared to his younger siblings Thad and Elvin. The former not only played trumpet but was an innovative composer and arranger with Count Basie and later with the orchestra he co-led with drummer Mel Lewis and then in Europe. The latter singlehandedly revolutionised modern percussive techniques. They say life begins at 40. With Hank it was 60 when he was thrust into the limelight as a leader after spending 17 years on the staff at CBS Studios. Riding the wave of renewed interest in the jazz piano he went from perpetual sideman to popular headliner working and recording under his own name. In the late 1970s he not only played unaccompanied but also in duets with Tommy Flanagan, another pianist of subtlety and understatement. He recorded prolifically especially for Japanese labels with a variety of groups including several under the banner of The Great Trio. It has been estimated that he appeared on a thousand albums, recording one of his best when he was 89 with Roberta Gambarini, the most significant and, to these ears, the best of the post Dianna Krall vocalists. He was still working up until a month before his death at the age of 91 on May 16, 2010. Did you know it was Jones who accompanied Marilyn Monroe in 1962 when she sang Happy Birthday to the United States President John Kennedy at Madison Square Garden in New York? After such trivia it’s time for another drink…. - Patrick D Maguire January 2015

YOUNG VIRTUOSI

CANBERRA GUITARIST TAKES NATIONAL HONOURS Australian National University student, Stephanie Jones has followed in the footsteps of her good friend Andrey Lebedev in winning the esteemed National Fine Music Network Young Virtuoso Award. In 2012 Lebedev, also a product of the ANU, became the first classical guitarist to win the prize and the pair has much in common - including their mentors - the renowned guitarists Timothy Kain and Minh Le Hoang, a member of Kain’s Guitar Trek ensemble [see page 5 feature]. Jones no doubt would be delighted to follow Lebedev’s career trajectory which continues to flourish at the Royal Academy of Music in London where he’s so impressed the celebrated Julian Bream that he has been chosen to perform new commissions by Brouwer and Birtwistle. Stephanie says she will also look to Europe to boost her growth as a musician, “I am planning on studying in Germany next year, doing a few years overseas and attending

all the European festivals and competitions. It will be an inspiring new environment, helping me develop further as a musician.” The Fine Music win has already helped Stephanie gain exposure through the country with her performances airing on the Music Broadcasting Network of stations. Hailing from Western Australia, and just 19 years old, Stephanie also plays saxophone and flute. She has won over 40 awards at WA eisteddfods and, after gaining a spot in the top 16 to compete for the Adelaide International Guitar competition in 2010, she got within a whisker of the title two years later, coming in second… to Andrey Lebedev. The national final, where oboist Ennes Mehmedbasic represented Fine Music 102.5, was held in Adelaide at 5MBS-FM. Stephanie won the title for ACT in the final as the representative of ArtSound FM 92.7. - Lizzie Herbert

And the cycle continues… Not long after the national final was over, entries for the 2015 Fine Music 102.5 Young Virtuoso Award closed. This year the competition has attracted 50 entrants with 12 classical singers, 12 pianists, eight violinists, five

cellists, three apiece for clarinet and flute, two violists and a sole organist and trombonist. Here are just of a few of the 50 fresh faces who entered for 2015 honours...

DIGI KNOW? If you are among the 63% of Australians who have access to DAB+ Digital Radio, from 1 January 2015 you will have the option to tune in to a whole different set of classical and jazz programs from 9am each day. Will Fine Music be broadcasting the same programs on both FM and Digital at the same time? Fine Music aims to deliver a wider range of options to the listener. Our volunteer programmers now have the ability to create more choices across two stations. So for example if Jazz at 12 noon on FM isn’t your preference, you’ll be able to tune in to Digital and hear classical. And vice versa, if you’re a Jazz fan you’ll find be able to hear programs such as Kevin Jones’ After Hours over on the Digital. Will there be different programming on Digital during the breakfast program too? Our regular Breakfast program will be heard from 6am-9am each day on both channels. What will be the main program differences? During the weekday Drive timeslot (4pm-7pm) you will have the option of listening to longer music pieces when Diversions in Fine Music

and Morning Concert are repeated. This will suit listeners who for example can’t catch these popular programs in the morning and offers an alternative to the faster paced FM Drive program. Opera fans will also get a second chance to hear some of the world’s greatest and legendary recordings every Saturday at 2pm. And, each day at 9am Maureen Meers brings to Digital her charming program In a Sentimental Mood and, you’ll now find Kevin Jones’ After Hours program has moved to Digital and can be heard each Saturday at 10pm. Followers of Ultima Thule (ambient music) will now also find the program on Digital at 10.30pm on Sundays.

How do I find Fine Music on my Digital radio? Simply enter the letters, Fine Mus and you’ll find us. What if I’m listening online? Nothing will change, you will still be listening to a stream of our FM broadcast. In time we hope to be able to offer a broadcast of this second stream to online listeners.

Established in 2005, the Omega Ensemble is an impressive group of Australian musicians presenting an ever varied program of chamber music to its Sydney and NSW regional audiences. The Chantarelle String Quartet draws its members from the string sections of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, with violinists, Fiona and Leonie Ziegler, Jane Hazelwood on viola and Kristie Conrau, cello. The second part of this program, recorded in August 2014, includes string quartets by Haydn and Mozart and Dvorák’s short piece, Cypresses. EVENING WITH THE ORCHESTRA – FROM THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM Thursday 1 January 10pm to midnight Founded in 1920, when Edward Elgar conducted a program of his own music for its opening concert, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra has long held an esteemed place in British musical life. Its celebrated chief conductors have included Adrian Boult (1924-30 and 1959-60), Louis Fremaux (1968-78) and Simon Rattle (1980-98). Since 2008 Andris Nelsons has been the chief conductor. This program includes Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No 1 in G min, Stephen Hough piano and Lawrence Foster, conductor, and Mahler’s mighty Symphony No 2 in C minor ‘Resurrection,’ conducted by Simon Rattle, with soloists including Arleen Auger, soprano and Janet Baker, mezzo soprano.

Ewa Kupiec, born in 1964, is a Polish pianist and piano teacher, who specialises in the works of Chopin and other Polish composers as well as contemporary piano works. She has performed with major orchestras in Europe and the United

Chamber Orchestra and Dvorak’s Piano Trio no 4 in E minor, the Dumky Trio. The program also includes Beethoven’s Sonata No 1 in F, op5 no 1, accompanied by his close friend, pianist Emanuel Ax, with whom he has made many recordings.

States and made numerous recordings including the piano concertos of Chopin in 2012. BAROQUE AND BEFORE – AUSTRALAN BAROQUE ENEMBLES AND SOLOISTS Friday 2 January 10pm to midnight The previous program is complemented by Australian performances of baroque music by early music specialists including the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, conducted by Paul Dyer, the Orchestra of the Antipodes conducted by Anthony Walker and solo trumpet players with the Australian Baroque Brass and the Sydney Consort. Apart from the pleasures of the music, this program is a fine demonstration of the riches of early and baroque music performers now available in Australia. ARTIST OF CHOICE – YO-YO MA Tuesday 6 January 9-10.30am Yo-Yo Ma was born in Paris in 1955, the French born son of Chinese parents who moved to New York when he was five years old. A child prodigy, with a mother who was a singer and a father who was a violinist and professor of music in Nanjing, China, he had a musical upbringing from a very young age. He gave his first cello recital at the age of six, and graduated from the Juilliard School and Harvard University. Yo-Yo Ma has had an extraordinary career as both a soloist and a recording artist covering the classical repertoire and an eclectic range of folk music and jazz primarily from North and South America and China. He has received countless awards including 15 Grammy awards and an honorary doctorate from Harvard. Yo-Yo Ma’s primary instrument is a 1737 Montagnano cello. His rich and smooth tone and virtuosic playing is distinctive and immediately recognisable and amply demonstrated in his performances of Haydn’s Cello Concerto no 2 in D, with the English

MORNING CONCERT – SUMMMER Thursday 22 January 10.30am to midday Celebrating summer in delicious music by four European composers, major works in this morning’s concert include Rodrigo’s Summer Concerto, played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jose Serebrier with solo violin Michael Guttman; Les nuits d’ete by Hector Berlioz, played by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pierre Boulez, with admired Australian mezzo soprano, Yvonne Minton and Stuart Burrows, tenor; and Summer Evening by Zoltan Kodaly, played by Philharmonia Hungarica conducted by Antal Dorati.

Rodolfo, Marcello, Colline and Schaunard lead an impoverished existence, their poems and canvases sometimes buying food, but more often providing fuel for the fire. Love comes to Rodolfo when Mimi comes to borrow a light, and to Marcello when Musetta decides to leave her elderly lover and return to him. However, Mimi and Rodolfo separate because of his jealousy and Marcello leaves Musetta because of her tantrums. Colline and Schaunard join Rodolfo and Marcello and they make merry over a meagre meal. Musetta brings Mimi who is dying. Marcello hurries away for a doctor, Colline to sell his overcoat. Mimi and Rodolfo recall their love as Mimi dies. 22:30 SEVEN AND EIGHT Prepared by Denis Patterson Myslivecek, J. Wind octet no 3 in B flat. Harmoniemusik of London. Virgin 5 61368 2

During the Crusades Goffredo, his brother Eustazio and daughter Almirena join the siege of Jerusalem. The king of Jerusalem is Argante, aided by Armida, queen of Damascus and a formidable sorceress. Armida tells the king that he can only prevail by routing Rinaldo, who is loved by Almirena. Armida abducts Almirena to lure Rinaldo to his doom. After much intrigue, Eustazio and Goffredo, aided by a sorcerer, storm the witch’s palace, but, as she has fallen in love with Rinaldo and been spurned, she attempts to kill Almirena. However, the plot is foiled and the heroes are reunited and lay siege to Jerusalem. They are victorious, love triumphs and all proclaim the supremacy of virtue. 23:30 TCHAIKOVSKY DANCES Prepared by Michael Morton-Evans Tchaikovsky, P. Dances, from Oprichnik (1874).
