NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

Sergei Rachmaninov is one of those composers beloved by concertgoers but disdained by more highbrow critics over a long period of time, arguably because of this popular success and his lack of interest in 20th century modernism. We celebrate the birth of this last great representative of Russian romanticism with a series of programs during April, and a FMM article by Rex Burgess, who claims that more recent appreciation of his exceptionally fine pianism and prowess as a conductor, plus rarely performed choral works, have been grounds for a reappraisal.

One doesn’t immediately think of Jazz as having a diplomatic role in the world, in fact rather the opposite. It’s free-flowing and relaxed – quite unlike the conventional image of a buttoned-up diplomat. International Jazz Day 2023 is chaired by UNESCO and the legendary jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock; Keith Pettigrew and Jeannie McInnes delve into its background and history in Australia.

Forbes Magazine described Polish pianist and composer Hania Rani’s work as ‘emotional rather than intellectual, genre-bending and boundary-breaking, rhythmic rather than atonal, creating a world that the listener is swept up in.’ If you haven’t heard of her, it’s high time that you did! Hania is currently on tour and will be performing at the Seymour Centre in Sydney on 3 May. Lyndon Pike interviews this intriguing pianist for Fine Music Magazine

Emilie Mayer

Following her death in 1883, the music of the German composer Emilie Mayer fell almost completely out of favour from the concert halls of Europe. This fact cannot be attributed to the quality of her work but to the structures of society of that time, structures that Mayer worked very hard to overcome throughout her career.

Mayer came to composing and a life in music relatively late. Although she had played piano and composed since early childhood, it was not until after the death of her father, a pharmacist in the town of Friedland, when she was around 28 years old, that Mayer took up musical studies. To do this she moved in 1841 to Stettin (now Szczecin in Poland) to work with Carl Loewe, a composer well known at that time for his ballads, which were sung throughout Germany. Loewe considered Mayer his most gifted student and in 1848 he encouraged her to move to Berlin to continue her studies with Adolph Marx and Wilhelm Wieprecht.

Wieprecht would conduct the premieres of several of Mayer’s symphonies with the most accomplished orchestra in Berlin at that time, Euterpe. The most important concert of her career was in 1850, sponsored by Wilhelm Friedrich IV, King of Prussia, and held at the Kings Playhouse, where the program was comprised entirely of music by Mayer. Critics were full of praise for Mayer’s work but always on the basis of comparison to other women or what was expected of women. This included the nickname ‘the Female Beethoven’, which is somewhat ironic given that Beethoven’s fame only increased after his death, while Mayer was almost completely forgotten.

Mayer would compose eight symphonies, 15 overtures, an opera and many chamber works. Some would be published, the most comprehensive collection of Mayer’s correspondence comes from letters collected by her publisher, Bote & Bock at her own expense, and some have been lost (e.g. Symphony no 8). In recent years research and recordings have brought more of her works to modern audiences and what we hear is a conventional composer of that era, pleasing to listen to and with dramatic structures that conform to our notion of what classical music should be.

Mayer in some ways seems a very modern woman, putting aside societal expectations to devote herself to music. She was active in putting on concerts in her home and used these events to garner support for public concerts. At the height of her career, her music was performed from Vienna to Leipzig and Prague, as well as the North of Germany. Her letters show a communicative and self-confident personality. Alongside her music, Mayer was a sculptor and it’s thought that a sculpture gifted to Queen Elisabeth of Prussia paved the way for her 1850 Berlin concert.

Sergei Rachmaninov: A misplaced traditionalist?

The first of April marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of the last great representative of Russian romanticism. Although born just a year before Schoenberg, only eight years before Bartok and nine before Stravinsky and Prokofiev, as a composer, Sergei Rachmaninov showed little interest in the emergent impetus towards modernism. After his first efforts in the late 1880s and early 1890s, he continued composing at intervals up to the early 1940s. However, even his mature period works remained grounded in the romantic idiom of the late 19th century Russian composers he so greatly admired, the first and foremost unsurprisingly being Tchaikovsky.

This is not to say that he merely imitated Tchaikovsky and the others, but only that he left music very much the way he had found it: progress was something for others to pursue. It has also been pointed out that while it is easy to discern Russian elements such as pessimism, nostalgia, and instability in Rachmaninov’s music, it is not so easy to relate this to any consciously held nationalist beliefs.

Considering his personal reserve and rather insular outlook, it will not surprise that critics and the cognoscenti at large have been rather dismissive of Rachmaninov as a composer; the more outspoken of them may even have been tempted to apply to him Vaughan Williams’ spiteful observation about Mahler, that he represented “a fair imitation of a composer.”

So much for the critics, though. The more benevolent public has long held a different view, and it is no coincidence that many of Rachmaninov’s works quickly found and have since retained their place in the contemporary music lover’s heart. As Lawrence Gilman pointedly remarks: “The possibility must be allowed that the C minor and

D minor concertos, the Paganini variations, the E minor symphony, the shorter piano pieces and the songs have already meant more to more people (a criterion not to be despised) than the music of, say, Stravinsky, will have meant at the end of time.” One might readily apply this observation to Schoenberg and various other ‘modernists’ as well!

Of course, Rachmaninov’s reputation does not rely solely on his standing as a composer. From early in his career his prowess as a conductor had already assumed quite legendary proportions. In addition, he was indisputably one of the finest pianists of his day, being regularly mentioned in the same breath as Hoffman, Horowitz, and other luminaries. The problem plaguing him though, throughout his fiftyyear career, was as Laurence Davies observes, that while he was succeeding at one or other of these concerns, he was either failing or impotent at the others.

Reverting to his compositions, while those already cited are the best-known and most frequently performed, there are several others, arguably of a higher musical quality, which are worthy of mention. Most notable are three fine choral works: The Bells, Vespers (All-Night Vigil), and the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, which is the main work in a celebratory Rachmaninov program to be heard at 3pm on Sunday 2 April.

Hania Rani - Worlds Collide

Lyndon Pike talks with Polish prodigy, Hania Rani

Polish born Hania Rani is a composer and musician who trained as a classical pianist before incorporating jazz into her work whilst studying at Music School Feliks Nowowiejski in Gdańsk. Her debut album Esja , a beguiling collection of solo piano pieces on UK label Gondwana Records was released to international acclaim on 5 April 2019 and gathered nominations in five categories in the Polish music industry’s own Grammys, the Fryderyki. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rani started experimenting with improvisation and composition. This led to her follow-up release: the expansive, cinematic Home, which saw Rani expanding her palette, adding vocals and subtle electronics to her music. She is now recognised as a developing and pioneering artist within the postclassical (also known as neo-classical) music genre. Hania is currently on tour, and is due to play her first ever Australian shows this month.

With around fifteen collaborative and solo releases recorded in a relatively short eight year period, is there a moment in your career you feel was particularly pivotal or transformative for you as a musician?

I have been playing the piano and studying classical music quite proficiently since I was seven years old.

Recently, I started composing my own music and working on my own style of recording and production. Although many wonderful things have happened to me, such as important performances, awards and collaborations, the most significant was signing with my UK label, Gondwana, as everything that happened afterwards was a result of this signing. I felt it was right for my music, and they paid so much attention to my debut album that it was a dream come true.

How do you balance technically disciplined constructs with emotional and intuitive aspects when creating a new piece? Or do they go hand in hand for you?

In the beginning of my music career, my compositions were very precise due to my background in classical music. However, as I started to become involved in other projects and began to sing and work as a session musician, I was encouraged to start improvising.

This was a turning point for me as it allowed me to search for my own language as a performer and understand the purpose of improvisation. It took some time, but it has become an important part of my composing process which I now trust and find very precious. Improvisation is the result of deep focus and listening, and it brings me great joy to allow it to be included in my recordings.

Does that improvisation transport itself and expand more effectively within the live arena, compared to the studio recording process?

I would love to be a bit more courageous when it comes to singing and improvising, although voice is not my first instrument. With the piano, synth, and keyboards, I feel confident in live performances as the perfect time for improvisation.

While I typically have a structured plan, it isn’t as freeform as jazz, but I do have moments where I can open up the structure and form to improvise. Some movements are always improvised, but I have my own limitations and formulas, such as sticking to a certain scale or chord progression, that I like to keep in mind while improvising.

When using repetitive patterns and structures, how do you maintain a sense of tension and interest within the repeating motifs? Also, how do you know how long is too long to hold a motif? Ah, that’s a very interesting question. When playing piano, I feel limited by the instrument’s inability to sustain long notes. I’ve always been fascinated by electronic music, which can create endlessly sustained notes which are important to convey a certain feeling. To compensate for the piano’s limitations, I repeat notes rhythmically and use the pedal to create a similar effect. However, I tend to get impatient and quickly move on to something new. Despite this, I am still able to create a resonating and vibrating sound when playing the piano, which can make it feel like a different instrument altogether.

How do you stay inspired and motivated at times when creativity may feel elusive to you?

To ensure that I have a dedicated time for creativity and focus, I make it a point to spend at least a month or two each year in a remote location. It’s the perfect opportunity for me to escape and immerse myself in nature. Right now, I’m in the mountains where I’ve been working since the beginning of February. Being away from the city and its distractions allows me to focus on my work without any interruptions.

Your music has been described as both melancholic and uplifting. How do you balance these contrasting emotions within a single piece of music?

Is there comfort in melancholy?

My life is typically chaotic and fast-paced, with many things happening at once. Melancholy provides me with comfort and allows me to detach from reality and focus solely on the process of creativity. This deep focus is rare in today’s world and helps me forget about my problems and daily

tasks. When performing live, I become completely absorbed in the music and forget everything else, which allows me to connect with my audience on a deeper level. Despite the long passages and slowly paced structures within my music, I am grateful that people take the time to appreciate it and can relate to the calming feeling it provides. The connection between myself and my audience is wonderful, and I appreciate their patience and understanding in allowing the music to speak for itself.

Have you noticed a difference in audience behaviour or response post lockdown?

During conversations with my audience, many of them expressed their happiness about being back at concerts, especially after the pandemic. For some, it was their first concert in a long time and they were emotional and grateful to be there, even if they had to wear masks. It was heartwarming to see how music brought

people together again, and I am proud to have such a wonderful audience who motivate me to improve. While I don’t see a huge difference in my audience, I often hear comments like “This was my first concert since the pandemic” or “Thank you for being my pandemic soundtrack.” My music has a calming effect on people, and many have used it to relax and regain focus. These comments were a recurring theme during our conversations.

If you had to compose a piece of music inspired by a work of literature, which book would you choose? And how do you think the music would sound?

Nice question! There is a Polish book that I really like called Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass by Bruno Schulz. This book was written in the beginning of the 20th century and has a unique and realistic quality to it, similar to the works of Italo Calvino and other writers from the same period who sought to capture both the real and unreal in their works. I found this book amazing and fascinating, and I even included a little quote from it on the liner notes for my album Home

One of the main ideas of the book is that imagination is a very strong medium. For example, there is a scene where you can imagine a handle on the wall that you can grab and open a door. This concept really resonated with me as a musician, and I think it would be absolutely fascinating to create music that captures the essence of this book. While it would be a lot of work, I believe the end result would be worth it.

When asked how this music would sound, I envision it as a tragicomedy, going up and down, and with many different angles in its narration. It would be both fun and not very serious, making you cry one moment and laugh the next. Overall, I believe that this book would be an incredible inspiration for creating music, and I would love to explore this concept further.

And finally Hania, as a Polish native, the big question is cabbage or potato pierogi?

Ooooo, both. As long as they are prepared properly and if they are fried, preferably. And now I am thinking that I am really missing pierogi and longing for Poland, and this is your fault!

Hania Rani will be playing in Sydney at the Seymour Centre, York Theatre on May 3, 2023. Tickets are available here

FineJazz celebrates International Jazz Day 2023

By Keith Pettigrew and Jeannie McInnes

In November 2011, UNESCO officially designated April 30 as International Jazz Day, to highlight jazz and its diplomatic role of uniting people in all corners of the globe. The day is chaired by UNESCO and the legendary jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock.

International Jazz Day brings together communities, schools, artists, historians, academics, and jazz enthusiasts all over the world to:

~ celebrate and learn about jazz and its roots, future and impact;

~ raise awareness of the need for intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding; and

~ reinforce international cooperation and communication.

You may be surprised that this international art form is recognized for promoting peace, dialogue among cultures, diversity, and respect for human rights and human dignity; eradicating discrimination, fostering gender equality, and promoting freedom of expression. But after all, jazz relies on listening to each other, respecting each other, and just catching the beat.

Events are held around the world, culminating with a globally-streamed concert, that was held in Melbourne in 2019, with major events in the Sydney Opera House.

International Jazz Day on Fine Music Sydney – A History of Jazz In Australia

Some years ago, one of our presenters, Dr Bruce Johnson, presented an award-winning series of programs on the history of jazz in Australia. He explored not only the music itself, but also the social context in which it was created. Illustrated with musical examples, some of which are rare and difficult to access, this series has been saved, restored and will be streamed as part of our FineJazz contribution to International Jazz Day.

Beginning at the start of the 20th Century, Johnson explores the local adaptations of jazz, its development during the Great Depression and World War II and beyond, and some of the musicians who have been pivotal both at home and abroad. Did you know that the Graeme Bell band helped kick-start the revival of traditional jazz in the UK and Europe in the late 1940s? Or that The Australian Jazz Quartet rivalled the Modern Jazz Quartet in the 1950s? Dave Dallwitz, Bob Barnard, Don Burrows, George Golla and James Morrison are just a few of the musicians to be heard in this immensely interesting series.

For International Jazz Day 2023, FineJazz will be streaming the entire 20 episodes of this articulate and well researched series. Available to Listen

Anytime on the day. Choose your era, from the beginnings of jazz itself, the jazz visitors of the 1920s, Aussie jazz after the depression, right through to the 1980s, with some extra programs bringing it all to the 21st century.

First Person - Skye McIntosh

Iris Zeng catches up with the brilliant violinist, founder and Artistic Director of the Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE)

Skye grew up on the northern tip of NSW and started playing the violin aged four ‘by a twist of fate’. Studying at the Queensland Conservatorium, Sydney Con and the Royal Academy of Music, Skye soon found her calling in Baroque music. Today, she’s one of Australia’s leading specialists in Baroque and Classical performance. With over 10 years’ experience as Artistic Director of the AHE, Skye also performs regularly with Pinchgut Opera, the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, and the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra, as well as appearing at various Baroque festivals across the country.

Tell me about your upbringing and how you got into music

I grew up in northern NSW, very near to the border of Queensland. It was quite hard to connect with others who were doing music. I didn’t have a youth orchestra or any of those things that I could go along to and make friends who were my age. It’s one of the reasons I’m quite passionate about touring in regional New South Wales, especially doing re-education projects. My dad was a musician, working in clubs throughout Sydney, playing the clarinet, saxophone and flute… so I grew up with that element of there being a lot of music around the house.

Why did you choose the violin?

For some reason, I wanted to play the violin. I remember Mum and Dad saying, “Are you going to play the flute, Skye?” I said, “No, I want to play the violin”.

I was fortunate in that two excellent violinists had come back from overseas, Carmel Kaine and her husband, John Willison. Carmel had grown up in Wagga, and then ended up in England at St Martinin-the-Fields and the Royal Academy of Music. Their influence was a turning point. I ended up going to the conservatory later with Carmel, a twist of fate that really helped me.

Are you in any way related to Baroque violinist

Catherine MacIntosh?

We always joke that we’re cousins, because we’re from the McIntosh clan! When I first met her, I was at the Royal Academy, and she was coming in to do a tutorial with the Baroque players. She walked straight in and said, “There’s a MacIntosh in here. Where is she?” I replied, “Oh, that’s me!” Since then, we’ve always got on very well, but we’re not actually related.

What made you specialize in Baroque and Classical music in particular?

My friend Alice Rickards, who is an excellent violinist, had gone to the Royal Academy the year before and told me, “When you come over, it’s fantastic. You can do Baroque violin, get extra lessons and meet really wonderful people.” I wasn’t aware that you could do Baroque as a career at that point. I didn’t even understand about period instruments. I knew about Baroque bows vaguely…

When I went to the Royal Academy, I found it really inspiring to have the experience of working with people like Cat, Monica Huggett, Elizabeth Wallfisch, and Simon Standage, who were all amazing Baroque instrumentalists. It spoke to me in some kind of way, and I kept being drawn to it. Once you start doing it, and if you quite like that way of playing, it’s hard to go back. It’s like an awakening. I really connect to that idea of discovery, and how we can find new things in using this approach.

How do you make a historical performance come alive?

The instruments themselves tell us a lot... We’re playing on gut strings, and using either Baroque or Classical bows, which are quite different from modern bows. And there are elements to playing that are quite volatile. Strings break whenever you’re in a hot room. It can be really stressful!

Photo by Helen White

Do you play on an antique?

I do! The one that I’m playing on right now is a 1770 Tomaso Eberle, a maker from Naples. Besides the fact that it’s very old and beautiful, it has that sentimental connection to my teacher, Cat.

What do you hope to achieve for the listener?

Something that I’ve always been passionate about is not just playing music from the time but also giving the audience some kind of insight into the culture of that time. It’s a whole cross-section of what was happening. The AHE has really championed the idea of performing historical chamber arrangements of larger scale works.

Do you have a favourite composer to perform?

That’s a very hard question! Every composer has something about them that I really love and enjoy. I love playing Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli… Boccherini is also another favourite of mine and the Ensemble’s. It’s like having a different meal - what are you in the mood for today? Obviously, I love Haydn… he’s always been the central figure. People often ask me why did you call it the Australian Haydn Ensemble? He was the lynchpin of everything that was happening at the time.

This year we’re performing Beethoven’s Seventh in a septet arrangement published around 1820. For me, introducing those kinds of arrangements has been quite important. They were a big part of people’s everyday lives at the time. Audiences may have only ever heard the work in the chamber version.

Where would you like to take the AHE in future?

I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved so far. When I first started the ensemble, it was literally Skye saying, “Hey, let’s do a string quartet tour!”. Ten years later, we’ve grown so much… we’re going on our first international tour to America, performing at the opening of the new Australian Embassy Building in Washington in October. There are exciting things on the horizon for the group as we’re continuing to grow.

Finally, do you know of any historically accurate Classical music biopics?

Last year, we presented a project with John Bell which was on the life of Haydn. I wanted to create something new that told the story of Haydn’s actual life behind the music. I’m obviously biased, but that was a really exciting project for us! We’ve been having discussions about how we could develop that in future. Watch out, there might be a film about Haydn one day!

Nicolas-Charles Bochsa

The Frenchman Nicholas (born Robert NicolasCharles) Bochsa was a forger, a bigamist and a womaniser whom Fétis called “as distinguished an artist as he was a miserable man”. After studying at the Paris Conservatoire, he made the harp his principal instrument, although he was a skilful player of almost every known instrument. He went on to become the greatest harpist of the 19th century.

By 1813 he was the harpist to the Emperor Napoleon. Before receiving his appointment with Louis XVIII in 1816, he composed seven operas for the Opéra-Comique and a 15-movement requiem for the beheaded remains of Louis XVI.

At the height of his popularity, Bochsa turned to a life of crime. He developed a rather lucrative business forging documents of various kinds and faking signatures of victims or of luminaries ranging from the Duke of Wellington to the Emperor Napoleon! Once found out, Bochsa fled to England to escape prosecution.

Not all went smoothly in England for Bochsa. When news of his forgery conviction reached London amidst a rumour that Bochsa had been sexually involved with a nun, he lost his professorial position at the Royal Academy of Music. Ironically, he was a co-founder of the Royal Academy and so his disgrace was compounded. He declared bankruptcy but quickly rebounded as the conductor of the King’s Theatre.

Critics loathed Bochsa’s unabashed showmanship; he filled his programs at the theatre with transcriptions of popular music, and he even took requests from the audience! He successfully toured the UK throughout the 1830s, teaming up with the composer Sir Henry Bishop and his wife Anna, a striking soprano with a wonderful vocal range. In 1839 Bochsa and Anna Bishop eloped, possibly invoking the crime of bigamy as he may have been still married to Amy Wilson.

Heading for Europe – not France – Bochsa and Bishop filled theatres to overflowing by playing simplified arrangements of Verdi’s operas. Later travels took them to North America, where the couple achieved resounding success on Broadway. Continuing to avoid both France and England where Bochsa would have been jailed, they headed for Sydney where they arrived in late December 1855. Sadly, Bochsa gave only one Sydney concert – to a full house – before dying of heart failure at the Royal Hotel in January 1856.

Anna Bishop was heartbroken. She commissioned an elaborate tomb for him in Camperdown Cemetery, where he was buried with great pomp. Atop the tomb sits a broken harp, sculpted from marble, to demonstrate Anna’s affection for her paramour. A choir sang the requiem that he’d composed three days before his death and an orchestral arrangement of the same work was performed during his procession to the cemetery.

Bochsa’s compositions, characteristically flamboyant, were prolific. None were of lasting significance, although some of his songs were in the repertoire of Sydney vocalists for many years after his death. He remains best remembered for his treatise, A New and Improved Method of Harp Instruction, which is still in use today.

High Five with Frances Madden

Barry O’Sullivan speaks with jazz musician Frances Madden

Frances Madden was the first jazz musician to win the 2MBS Stephan Kruger Scholarship for exceptionally talented young musicians. Her music is a highly accessible mix of swing, ballads, and blues with a broadly adult contemporary appeal, and her band has played to full houses in leading Australian jazz venues and festivals. Frances is not only a composer of wonderful songs – she can play the piano too. Her current album, Beautiful World , will be released by Universal Music in Japan in 2023, and she recently relocated to London to further her career.

You’ve decided to relocate to pursue your career in the UK and Europe. Why, and what do you hope to achieve there?

I came to bring my music to the lively music and festival scene both here in London and in Europe, as well as to find new people to collaborate with. Australia has been a great place in which to grow up and begin my career, but it’s a relatively small market and I got to a point where I needed to head overseas to find bigger and better opportunities. I’ve loved being in London so far and have found a lot of inspiration around as well as ‘space’ to create. I hope to release my current album Beautiful World here in the next few months and do some touring and performing through the UK and Europe as I build my network. I also have a lot of new original material that I’m ready to record in the studio for my next album.

You applied for and obtained a global talent visa to remain in the UK. What process does that involve?

The Global Talent Visa is a route for artists who can demonstrate the international potential to settle and work in the UK and I’m grateful to have been able to return to the UK via this pathway. The application process requires endorsement by the British Council, which is awarded based on proof of an artist’s work including reviews

published in national publications, music performed and released internationally, and any notable awards and nominations. You also need several letters of support, and one from a UKbased industry professional, which I managed to arrange through networking here last year.

You are also a composer/songwriter. What processes and influences do you utilise in composition?

I would say my songwriting process is relatively simple and organic. It usually begins with a melodic idea that has come to me at some point, sometimes while I’m playing the piano, when I’m out and about doing other things, or when I’ve just had a significant experience of some kind. I’ll usually record a snippet of the idea into my phone and come back to it later to see if it still grabs me. If it does, I take the idea, play and sing it over at the piano, and usually some lyrics and a clearer idea of the song’s direction will gradually evolve.

Apart from your busy musical career what are your other interests?

Learning French has been and continues to be a long-term passion of mine. Now that I’m so close to Europe, I guess I can say my other keen interest is being able to travel easily and experience some of the most beautiful cultures in the world! Last year I was lucky enough to see parts of Scotland, Ireland, Italy, and France. There’s nothing like being able to hop on a train and within a few hours step onto the cobblestone streets of Paris! Apart from that, I’ve always had an interest in

trying dance classes and acting for fun - perhaps I’ll find the time now that I’m based here in London more permanently and need to make some new friends!

It’s five o’clock on a Sunday afternoon and you want to relax and listen to some music. What would you choose and why?

Today is a Sunday here in London and I can tell you precisely what I was just listening to this afternoon. It is a gloomy and cold winter’s day and I put on Joshua Bell’s album Romance of the Violin to accompany the mood. There are so many beautiful pieces on this album but one of my favourites is Elegie by Massenet.

Lady Day - Billie Holiday

by Louise Levy

Billie Holiday had an enormous and legendary impact on jazz and pop music, but her personal life was tumultuous.

Her mother, Sadie Fagan, was a teenager when she gave birth to Holiday. Born Eleanora Fagan in April 1915, Holiday spent much of her young life in Baltimore, Maryland. Raised primarily by her mother, Holiday had only a tenuous connection with her father, who was a jazz guitarist in Fletcher Henderson’s band.

Living in extreme poverty, Holiday dropped out of school in the fifth grade and found a job running errands in a brothel. She moved with her mother to Harlem in New York. Desperate for money, Holiday looked for work as a dancer at a Harlem speakeasy, but auditioned as a singer. She loved jazz and the blues and wowed her audiences. She started singing at the popular jazz club The Log Cabin

In February 1933, the record producer John Hammond ‘discovered’ Holiday in Harlem, at Covan’s at West 123rd. She emerged from the dressing room, moving gracefully but with purpose, stopping at the piano and conferring quietly with her accompanist. Hammond was immediately struck by her presence; she commanded attention. She was 18!

Later in that year, Holiday made her first recordings, with bandleader and clarinetist Benny Goodman. Her first hit was Riffin’ the Scotch. Two years later, a series of recordings with Teddy Wilson and members of Count Basie’s band brought her wider recognition and launched her career as the leading jazz singer of her time.

Holiday toured with Basie and with Artie Shaw in 1937 and 1938. From the late 1940s, following a drug conviction and the loss of her ‘cabaret card’, she began to perform exclusively in theatres and concert venues.

Holiday’s recordings between 1936 and 1942 marked her peak years. During that period, she was often associated with saxophonist Lester Young, who gave her the nickname ‘Lady Day’.

Throughout her life, she wrote songs that were important and demanded attention, including God Bless the Child and Billie’s Blues (also known as I Love My Man). And she recorded songs that created an emotion or were a reaction to an event, such as Lover Man, You’re My Thrill, and Solitude.

In 1939, Holiday recorded Strange Fruit by Abel Meeropol. The song protests the lynching of Black Americans, with lyrics that compare the victims to the fruit of trees. In 2002, Strange Fruit was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress.

The biopic The United States Vs Billie Holiday (2021) alleges Holiday was persecuted by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics over her support for the civil rights movement. The Bureau was known to have targeted black jazz musicians. If she persisted in singing Strange Fruit, at some point she would be arrested for drugs possession to silence her. However, this is disputed with Holiday’s drug abuse and possession extending back to the 1940s. By the 1950s, Holiday’s drug use, drinking, and relationships with abusive men caused her health to deteriorate.

In 1956, she released Lady Sings the Blues, one of her most popular albums, and two years later, her final album, Lady in Satin, dying in 1959 at the age of 44 with a mere $1,000 estate. She had won four Grammy Awards, all of them posthumously.

Billie Holiday changed jazz forever.

Volunteer SpotlightToby Wong

Toby Wong is a relatively new and very welcome presenter for 2MBS Fine Music Sydney, although radio presentation is not new to him. Having arrived in Australia from Hong Kong about 12 months ago, with a social science and music degree from Chinese University in Hong Kong, he is undertaking a Master of Music degree at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Before coming to Sydney, Toby worked for the Hong Kong classical music station RTHK Radio 4 as a producer and presenter. “I want to continue my involvement in classical music broadcasting,” he says, “as I think it is really a meaningful activity for me and for all music lovers who still value an old-fashioned but always inspiring radio broadcast, instead of modern internet streaming platforms.”

His first classical music experience was at the age of three, when his parents brought him to church and sang in the choir. “It was sacred choral music that inspired me to become a musician,” he says. “This led to piano, vocal and violin lessons, and conducting masterclasses. I am very blessed that I had the opportunity to be the music director of my church choir during my high school studies, and I also sang as a tenor in the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra’s chorus. But what brings me to Sydney to undertake my Master of Music (Musicology) research is radio broadcasting. Although I enjoy performing music, I find myself even more attracted to reading music history and analysing different musical works.”

Toby has many musical ambitions but wants to develop a musical career that will make use of the things he has learnt and experienced. He says: “I want to become a conductor who leads orchestras and choirs and establish my own music group that will perform orchestral, choral, and operatic repertoires, but I hope that the group will not only

musical performances, but also about music research and education. It’s very easy for people to attend a classical music performance nowadays, but it’s harder to really understand thoroughly the piece we are appreciating.”

Toby particularly enjoys listening to orchestral works and operas composed in the 19th century. “I am an enthusiast of Gustav Mahler’s symphonies, and a fan of reggae-style operatic productions, and, especially, modern performances of Wagner and Puccini operas,“ he says. “I like movie soundtracks too, particularly those by John Williams and Hans Zimmer.”

Toby cites two unforgettable concert experiences:

“The first was singing as a tenor in the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra’s chorus, performing Britten’s War Requiem together with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of the late Maestro, Lorin Maazel, just a few months before his death. The second, a truly breathtaking experience, was the world-class tenor Jonas Kaufmann performing Lohengrin in the Opera Australia production in Melbourne, not only listening to his stunning voice, but also enjoying the innovative and challenging staging designed by Olivier Py.”

We look forward to hearing more of Toby Wong.

CD REVIEWS

Bassano: Ricercate for solo recorder

Rodney Waterman, recorder Bandcamp.com

Giovanni Bassano came to St Mark’s Venice in 1576 where he distinguished himself as director of instrumental music. Giovanni came from the same family of musicians and virtuoso recorder players who settled in England in the early 1500s to enhance the cultural life of the court of Henry VIII. Although Bassano is chiefly remembered for his grand choral works, his eight ricercarte are models of their kind, and show us the extraordinary technical skills that instrumentalists in Italy had gained. In this new CD, Rodney Waterman plays the ricercare on a Ganassi

Margaret Brandman: Binna

Burra Dreaming

Ambition

AMBITION201

Binna Burra Dreaming is a collection of music for cello with piano. The cellist is Ariel Volovelsky, highly regarded as a soloist and as a member of the Felix Quartet. The composer and pianist is Margaret Brandman, also from Sydney and well-known as a music educator. The album is actually a mini album, with six tracks and half an hour of music, mostly rearrangements of works originally composed for other forces, but it is a pure delight to listen to. The title track, named for a rainforest area in the Gold Coast hinterland where beech trees grow, incorporates both Indigenous and natural

recorder by renowned maker Fred Morgan. The captivating tone, and clear voicing of this instrument is matched by Rod’s sure technique, with apt phrasing and sparingly applied vibrato distinguishing the performance of music he so obviously loves. Nevertheless, I suggest listening to each ricercarte one at a time to appreciate the form used by Bassano, each beginning with a simple melodic and rhythmic idea that is taken through a series of transformations.

A strong recommendation.

influences, with the cello playing a didjeridoo-like figure and the piano emulating the sound of a breeze through those trees. Snow Gums in Silver Moonlight, originally written for piano, reveals subtle jazz influences in its harmonies and pizzicato passages. As Blue as Turquoise Pearls, one of three arrangements from her song cycle Cosmic Wheel of the Zodiac, features legato passages occasionally interrupted by cascading notes and suggests diving into the depths of the ocean.

Icelandic Works for the Stage

Iceland Symphony Orchestra; Rumon Gamba, conductor Chandos CHSA 5319

Rumon Gamba is a champion of new and out-of-the-way music and with the release of Icelandic Works for the Stage he has brought to our attention a couple of composers well worth becoming acquainted with. Páll Ísólfsson (1893-1974) studied in Leipzig with Max Reger before returning to Reykjavik, where he became the first director of its Music School and served as the organist at its cathedral. Best known for his organ and piano music, these two suites of incidental music attest to both his immersion in the traditions of German Romanticism and his

awareness of later Neoclassical elements. Jórunn Vidar (19182017) studied in Reykjavik before venturing to Berlin and then New York. She is represented here by two ballets written in collaboration with the dancer Sigridur Armann, including Eldur (Fire), the first ballet to be performed at the new National Theatre in Reykjavik in 1950. Both Eldur and its successor, Ólafur Lilijurós, a narrative ballet based on an old Nordic ballad, are notable for their colourful orchestration.

– Paul Cooke

Taking inspiration from the personal effect on an individual engulfed in a plague, and a novel text which explores the alienation of one who refuses to conform to social norms to create music, could result in some morbidly depressing listening. However, Chris Cody, a welltraveled, gifted, and experienced jazz musician, has managed to avoid this dilemma by delivering the opposite. Living in Paris for several years, his proximity to many unique locations enabled him to tour much of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, where Albert Camus set his novel, L’Étranger (The Outsider) Musically traversing the streets of modern Paris to the plains of Tanzania, Cody has delved into what could be his best work to date. His music styles range from

blues to free jazz and uplifting gospel with the added elements of Middle Eastern and North African motifs incorporating the grooves that the composer personally experienced. This results in a suite of compositions that flow seamlessly, the recording builds from the busy, frenetically textured movements on Procession, cooling down into a wondrous bath of mesmerising ensemble work and oud playing on Anticipation. The title track is a favourite – a moody film noir ballad. Along with the remaining six compositions, this release features an impressive display of 21st century jazz playing in full flow, showcasing Cody’s brilliant pianism. It is indeed a standout recording.

Lanciotto pretends to leave Francesca, now his wife, in Paolo’s care but he watches as they read the story of Lancelot and Guinevere, which drives them to admit their love.

Everyone dances to Schwanda’s bagpipes. Babinski, the bandit, encourages Schwanda to play for the Queen of a nearby country to make her forget the loss of her jewels which Babinski has stolen. Schwanda leaves his wife Dorota behind. When Schwanda plays his bagpipes for the Queen, he breaks the spell of a Magician so the Queen decides to marry Schwanda. The Magician fetches Dorota to witness her husband’s infidelity but, when Schwanda says he loves Dorota, the Queen orders her to be killed. Schwanda says he will give his own life to save her. As he is about to be executed, he is granted one last wish which is to play his bagpipes. Babinski appears with the pipes and as Schwanda plays, the guards and officials are enchanted into a grotesque dance giving Babinski, Schwanda and Dorota the chance to escape.

Dorota is angry with Schwanda who protests that if he kissed the Queen, may the Devil take him. Immediately, he disappears. Babinski then professes love for Dorota who refuses him. He says he will prove his love by going to Hell to find Schwanda. In Hell, Schwanda longs for Dorota so the Devil conjures up an image of her. ‘Sign this and she’s yours,’ says the Devil and Schwanda signs away his soul. Babinski arrives in Hell and challenges the Devil to a card game. The stakes rise higher and higher until Babinski suggests Schwanda’s
