Regular readers of Fine Music Magazine may remember that back in May last year we started reviewing notable live performances and musicals in the Sydney area. Sadly, Covid rules put paid to that, but with the loosening of restrictions we hope to continue the practice this year, preferably publishing the review while the shows are still running, if lead-in times allow. Last month we Interviewed Simone Young, Chief Conductor Designate of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Simone was extremely generous with her time, sharing a multitude of her insights into her experiences as a conductor and her views on repertory. Due to space limitations, we could only publish the first half, so this month Andrew Bukenya concludes the interview with Part Two of his conversation with Ms. Young. As a voice for the local performing arts scene, we empathise with all our arts partners who have been so catastrophically impacted by the pandemic. Accordingly, 2MBS Fine Music Sydney is offering a number of discounted sponsorship packages aimed to keep them connected with their audience. Fine Music Magazine is read by thousands of music lovers every month, many of whom will be attending live performances during 2022, so if you are a musician, orchestra, group, or musical ensemble, do consider our prestigious front cover as a means of promoting your event.

Jacques Ibert Catherine Peake studies a composer to whom all systems were valid

The History Collection / Alamy Stock Photo Perhaps not as well-known as some of his contemporaries, Jacques Ibert nonetheless made a name for himself as a composer. Studying at the Paris Conservatoire as well as privately, his fellow students included Arthur Honegger and Darius Milhaud. Ibert’s studies were interrupted by World War I, but after winning the Prix de Rome in 1919 for his cantata Le Poète et la fée, he continued his studies in Rome.

His work was not confined to the theatre though, and it was his early orchestral works La Ballade de la geôle de Reading, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s poem and performed in 1922, and Escales, performed in 1924, that confirmed his musical reputation. Other non-theatrical works include two collections of piano music, Histoires and Les Rencontres, that were commissioned by his publisher, and his Flute Concerto, first performed in 1934.

In his early career, Ibert worked as a pianist at silent movie theatres where he improvised music to suit what was happening onscreen, and wrote popular songs and other light works under a pen name. He later composed in a wide range of genres and his biographer Alexandra Laederich wrote that, “His music can be festive and gay… lyrical and inspired, or descriptive and evocative… often tinged with gentle humour… all the elements of his musical language bar that of harmony relate closely to the Classical tradition.” Ibert himself said that “all systems are valid”, and was steadfast in refusing to align himself to a particular musical style. He also often collaborated with other composers, such as in the waltz L’éventail de Jeanne where he was one of ten contributors including Ravel and Poulenc. Much of Ibert’s work reflected his interest in theatre. He wrote seven operas, his first, Persée et Andromède, while studying in Rome, but his opéra-bouffe of 1927, Angélique, was his most successful, combining as it did humour, style and flair. He also wrote five ballets and over sixty film scores, including for Orson Welles’ film Macbeth and the Circus ballet for Gene Kelly’s Invitation to the Dance. One of his best-known theatrical works was his music for Un chapeau de paille d’Italie, which he later reworked as the orchestral suite Divertissement.

Ibert continued to compose while working in Paris and Rome where he “threw himself wholeheartedly into his administrative role and proved an excellent ambassador of French culture in Italy.” He also worked as a conductor and music administrator, and in 1937 was the first musician to be appointed director of L’Académie de France à Rome, a post he held until 1960, excluding the years of World War II. His work here included the administration of the Prix de Rome. After the war he became administrator of the Réunion des Théâtres Lyriques Nationaux, which oversaw the Paris Opera and the Opéra-Comique. Jacques Ibert was elected to the Académie des Beaux Arts of the Institut de France in 1956. The Life of a Composer, Saturday 5 February 2022, 8:00pm

Immigrant, Exile, Outsider Paul Cooke studies the life of Felix Werder

In 1940, 18-year-old Felix Bischofswerder arrived in Australia along with his father, having fled Nazi Germany in the mid 1930s for London, where he studied Fine Arts and Architecture. He shortened his surname to Werder and proceeded to play a significant role in the cultural life of his adopted country for most of the next 70 years. As a composer, he was not constrained by genre, writing chamber and electronic music, symphonies, concertos, opera and more. He was also an influential teacher, critic and public intellectual. In the 1950s, he and fellow composers Margaret Sutherland and Dorian Le Gallienne introduced and established a new music scene in Melbourne. More recently, his experimental ensemble Australia Felix (whose alumni included soprano Merlyn Quaife, saxophonist Peter Clinch and jazz musician Brian Brown) gave concerts of new Australian music in both Australia and Europe over a period of 20 years. He taught both music and art history at the Melbourne Council of Adult Education from 1956 until the 1990s, and privately taught many generations of Australian composers. In the 1960s and 1970s he was music critic for The Age in Melbourne. He then became involved in radio broadcasting, producing new music programs, first in the 1970s for the ABC, then in the 1980s and early 1990s with community radio. Although not quite a teenager when his family emigrated to England, his German and Jewish musical heritage stayed with him. His father, Boaz Bischofswerder, had been a member of Arnold Schoenberg’s circle, with the composer briefly staying with the Werder family and his nephew Joseph introducing the young Werder to the practices and philosophies of modern art. From thence Werder regarded the Schoenberg family as “the main interest that moulded my future”. Bischofswerder, as cantor and liturgical composer at Berlin’s Brunenstrasse Synagogue, had published musical arrangements of synagogue music as well as his own compositions. Jewish music was a major influence on the development of Werder’s own compositions and, when he visited Berlin in the 1970s, was thrilled to discover that his father’s arrangements were still being used.

With the outbreak of World War II, the family were declared enemy aliens, but were offered the chance to emigrate to Canada to work for the war effort. Somehow, they ended up in Australia on the Dunera and were placed in internment camps, first in Hay and then in Tatura. During this time, Werder, drawing upon his memories of his Berlin childhood and the example of Schoenberg’s twelve-tone technique of composition, wrote his first symphony. It was to be the beginning of a compositional career that built upon European models rather than attempting to forge a uniquely Australian music. He noted that his role models were “the unconscious creativity of Gesualdo and the indeterminacy of the fragmentation of C.P.E. Bach”. Werder had been advised that his music was unplayable, unsuitable for performance, too avant-garde. He had to wait until 1955 for the first major performance of one of his compositions, Balletomania, by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Eugene Goossens. In 1957, The Australian Jewish News announced the release of a recording of his Quartet (possibly his String Quartet no 4). It noted that it was “one of the few quartets written here that have been recorded”, and that his “reputation has grown very considerably over the years”. His seven operas were well-received, and included Private, commissioned by the ABC for television and broadcast in 1969. He was made a member of the Order of Australia in 1976, and won numerous awards for his music. A concert to celebrate his 90th birthday in 2012 featured three new compositions: he was never one for going “gently into the night”. Music of the Night, 23 February 2022, 10:30pm

First Person Simone Young Andrew Bukenya continues with Part Two of his interview with Simone Young, Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Chief Conductor Designate

When it comes to the symphonic world, you’ve become known for Strauss and Mahler. So, I would think Korngold, or maybe ‘what is she going to do with Handel’? It would be a wonderful chance to see you involved with works that people might not necessarily connect with you…

years of doing lots of opera which certainly did inform my transition to the concert podium. But I’ve been doing an even mix of opera and concerts for about the last 20 years. For example, I don’t think you can conduct Fidelio if you don’t conduct Beethoven Nine, but vice versa is the same. You can’t really conduct Beethoven Nine and understand it if you haven’t conducted Fidelio, because it’s all in there.

Exactly, and at least one of the categories that we will offer selection from will be things that people don’t know. Really unfamiliar works, whether they’re from the 21st century or just unfamiliar works. My experience in Hamburg was that people were up for composers like Barber, for example, of whom they know the Serenade for Strings and that’s about it. Having one or two other things in the list by Barber or perhaps something by Debussy or Ravel that one’s never heard of. Then yes, throw in some Korngold or some Zemlinsky, some tasty morsels that people might find attractive.

One thing that really captured my imagination, and you touched on it, was the role of mentorship. You have had some incredible mentors along the way, from early days with Charles Mackerras and Stuart Challender, working as Daniel Barenboim’s assistant, to all the other things that you’ve managed to do. Do you see a role for that mentorship continuing while you’re in Sydney? Absolutely, an important part of every conductor’s role is to take responsibility for the next generation. I’ve been quite successful already in mentoring and watching the start of significant careers of young Australians. Nicholas Carter, who is now the new music director in Bern, and has just had a big success with the Santa Fe Opera. And Dan Carter, another Australian who’s now music director in Coburg, in Germany. There’s also Finnegan Downie Dear, who was supposed to be debuting with Sydney Symphony in November, but unfortunately became one of the victims of the Covid cancellations. But Finn worked with me on and off for three years and he just won the Mahler competition last year in Bamberg.

You’ve had this wonderful array of experiences, Simone, from répétiteur to chief exec, opera director, manager and of course, conductor. So, with all these things combined, how do they inform your experience on the concert platform, particularly as the first female conductor of some major orchestras? There are two things here. One is the whole woman thing which I hold to be utterly irrelevant. I haven’t talked about it for 35 years and I’m not really going to start talking about it now. Society is changing, the makeup of students in music schools, the makeup of the orchestras is changing. Everything is developing and changing and there is a natural development going on in the industry for diversity in general. I am very keen on mentoring and motivating exceptional talents. And that is to me, the key thing. I don’t care about gender or race or anything else. I’m interested in minds and what they do with the music. Yes, I know I stick out there as one of the very few and so that’s very visible, but for me it doesn’t have any impact on what I do. Much more significant are the

This role of mentoring is very significant. I haven’t yet found the next person who I want to work with me, but something I will be doing in Australia is working with young Australian conductors, whether that’s in the form of engaging them as assistants or in the form of masterclasses, I don’t know. One day I would love to have a major conducting competition in Australia, in Sydney, but we’re a long way off that just yet.

I feel that responsibility towards Australian composers and young Australian artists. When casting roles with vocal artists, I will always look first at what is available in Australia and then bring the best of overseas, always encouraging them to do some teaching or some masterclasses while they’re in Australia so that there is that continued collaboration of the best that Australia must produce with the best that comes from overseas.

You’ve made a name conducting Wagner and have conducted a complete Ring Cycle. Can you remember when you were first drawn to Wagner and what it is about his music that attracts you?

It’s like their minds expand to fit it!

Oh, I remember it vividly. I was attending a theory class at the Conservatorium, and the teacher that evening put the prelude to Tristan and Isolde on the record player. I will never forget it. I was just completely overwhelmed by this music. I’d never heard anything like it, so that was the beginning of the journey. And that journey involved learning German, learning a lot of lied because great romantic German opera has all its roots in lied singing and in the text from the great German poets. It involved years of study both at the keyboard, playing, rehearsals, conducting rehearsals and fortunately then at a relatively young age beginning to conduct all these works myself. I conducted Dutchman when I was 33 and Tristan, Meistersinger, and Siegfried when I was still only 34. That’s incredibly young for all that repertoire, so by the age of 40 I had conducted all of them, including full Ring Cycles, and then I just kept building on that. There must be a parallel with Shakespearean actors who do all the historic plays. It’s a lifetime of development. As you get older your understanding gets deeper and more profound and you continue to develop. And the fascination never fades. It’s probably about time I did another Ring Cycle sometime soon. Another lap around the Wagner pool… Another lap, exactly. And the amazing thing about Wagner, despite the length of the operas, an awful lot of people who have no operatic experience whatsoever will find themselves completely fascinated by him and find the span of the work no challenge whatsoever…

Exactly, and so I’m doing Parsifal next Easter in Paris with the lovely Simon O’Neill, and I’m anticipating that very much that because it will be about six years since I did my last Parsifal and it feels like it’s time to reinvestigate that score. So, I’m looking forward to that and I imagine there will be some Wagner in the future, down the track in Sydney. One last question then. Because music is so all-encompassing for you, do you ever listen to music for relaxation or do you just like silence? Because there’s music in silence as well… There is music in silence. Silence is not an acoustic vacuum. Silence has substance, but yes, I do sometimes listen to some popular music for relaxation. Sometimes I’ll be in the mood to listen to some chamber music. I very rarely listen to anything that is in my repertoire, because that then falls into the work category, and I cannot detach myself from it. I’ll find myself focusing on a particular singer or on a particular structure by a conductor or whatever, so it becomes more analytical. But if it’s a work I don’t know, then sometimes, but if it’s in a genre or style that I work within then it’s not relaxing for me. You can’t switch off. I can’t switch off, but if it’s chamber music of the kind that I don’t play, or if it’s some jazz, or some pop music… If we’re on a road trip, I always let my daughters make the playlist! I’m very grateful for your time.

Volunteer Spotlight Vicky Zhang Pamela Newling talks to programmer and presenter Vicky Zhang

Volunteer involvement with 2MBS Fine Music had a long lead time for Vicky, who has recently become the Wednesday presenter of Breakfast, which as many listeners know, is an excellent way to start the day! Her first association with the radio station came via the Young Virtuosi Program in 2007. The experience of performing on-air as a candidate prompted her to think that this was a community worth being involved with. Vicky says that she has been “blown away by the sheer level of dedication shown by this community of music lovers, and it’s great to be finally part of it!” Now a classically trained cellist and aspiring secondary music teacher, Vicky says: “In the last few years I’ve been focusing on trying out things I didn’t have the headspace for as a full-time cello student.” These included moving to Japan to teach English to high school students for a year, and training at 2MBS Fine Music. Vicky attributes her love of music to listening to a lot of ballet music, thanks to her dad, who comments, “she’s a fan of any music you could dance to…” A stand out experience for Vicky was as a student at the Australian National Academy of Music, performing as part of a cello octet celebrating Kathryn Stott’s appointment as Festival Director of the Australian Chamber Music Festival in 2018. Vicky explains: “The cello octet was a shout-out to Kathryn Stott’s collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma. Listening to his recordings was my introduction to the cello, so the performances we did in Townsville in honour of that collaboration were all very special to me.” As for the challenges of presenting, Vicky mentions staying calm when things don’t go exactly to plan and learning to accept when mistakes happen. “The show must go on.”

The cello octet was a shout-out to Kathryn Stott’s collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma. Listening to his recordings was my introduction to the cello, so the performances we did in Townsville in honour of that collaboration were all very special to me. She also says: “I used to find it difficult to relate to contemporary music, but my views have totally changed as I’ve found that there’s usually a fascinating story behind a lot of modern compositions. As a presenter, it’s exciting to be able to share these discoveries with listeners on-air.” It really is all about the music. Vicky’s current ‘relaxation’ is learning to play the piano and recorder for fun! Fine Music Breakfast, Wednesdays 6.00-9.00am

High Five – Lloyd Swanton Barry O'Sullivan interviews The Necks’ bassist, Lloyd Swanton. Lloyd Swanton is a bassist, a record producer, and band leader. He co-founded The Necks, an Australian avantegarde jazz trio, in 1987 with Chris Abrahams and Tony Buck. Their double LP studio album Unfold was named by Rolling Stone magazine as ‘one of the top twenty Avant albums of 2017.’ The band has won two ARIA awards for the albums Drive By (2003) and Chemist (2006), and they have received the inaugural Richard Gill Award for Distinguished Services to Australian Music at the 2019 Art Music Awards. I recently pitched these five pertinent questions to Lloyd who was my special studio guest recently. How did the band formation come about? Towards the end of eight months of intensive classical bass tuition and orchestral playing in London in 1985/86, I had reached the conclusion that western classical music was not for me. I felt a powerful urge to have more of my own input into what music I played. Whether or not I would have even had the requisite skills to hold down an orchestral gig, I couldn’t see myself doing that for the rest of my life. Round about this time, I happened across Christopher Small’s seminal book Music Society Education, and it totally turned my head around. I got really carried away by the idea of making music for which the only consideration was to be ‘in the moment’. A year after returning to Sydney, I called pianist Chris Abrahams with my idea for a trio. He was right into it, and we instantly decided Tony Buck was the ideal drummer. Initially we were quite determined that we were never going to perform in public – simply because we wanted our music to take form in a greenhouse, without the influence of an audience. Eventually, after about six months of intensive workshopping, we accepted an invitation from the Sydney University Music Department to perform at one of their afternoon winter concerts in the Old Darlington School and we lost our innocence. Ironically, something that started out with such modest scope has now become known around the world.

What did each member bring to the project to contribute to its unique sound? Chris Abrahams has a sense of texture and timbre on the piano and other keyboards that is utterly unique. His playing reminds me of the famous quote about Ornette Coleman, that ‘he plays the way he does because nobody ever told him you can’t play that way!’ He treats the piano as a sound-generating machine and has a fully formed concept within that framework. The Necks would never sound the way it does with a more ‘romantic’ pianist. Tony Buck is just as individual with his incredible, tireless questing to conjure new textures out of the drumkit and small percussion, and such a thinker about new ways for the three of us to combine our contributions. He’s also an amazingly imaginative guitarist, an instrument which he never uses live with us, but you can hear on most of our studio albums since about 2006. The other thing that sets these two lads apart is their incredible stamina. They are both virtuosos, but it is a virtuosity that is entirely about generating density for aesthetic reasons, never for showing off skills. As for me, you’d better ask the other guys, but I have always striven to treat the double bass as a very simple propulsive element. Virtually another drum, with a few more pitch possibilities. A giant thumb piano. The double bass doesn’t have the facility of the piano or drumkit and I think it’s a fool’s errand to try to be up there on the same level as them. I feel if I set up the groundwork, any changes I make will have all the more impact for the fact that they occur over such a simple base.

The band has toured internationally and gained a solid reputation. What were some of the initial challenges with this and what are some of the gratifying moments you’ve experienced as a group?

How would you best describe your sound and what are some of its specific musical influences? I’m fond of saying that humans play music in order to express things that can’t be expressed verbally, so unsurprisingly we all often run into difficulty trying to describe musical styles. There’s no single term that satisfactorily covers us, and I’m quite chuffed to be occasionally seeing our name checked as a stylistic reference for other bands now. We’re free improvisors, we’re sometimes groove, there are trace elements of jazz, we’re hypnotic… All these terms have relevance, but none is the full story.

For us it was easier than for many other Australian ensembles because early in the band’s life, Tony went to live overseas. First in Tokyo, then Amsterdam, and finally Berlin, where he’s been settled for nearly 30 years. So he was our man on the ground in Europe, getting his own name as an improvisor, and establishing great rapport with concert promoters there. Eventually we set up our first run of seventeen European dates in 1998 and it was a great success. Then we just had to chip away at it relentlessly for twenty years, and that’s what we’ve been doing. Most years since ‘98 we’ve toured Europe at least twice, as well as increasingly frequent and successful tours of the USA.

As for influences, you’d have to look back to what we were all listening to and studying thirty years ago when we formed the band. Dub reggae, James Brown, Miles Davis’s electric phase, African music, gamelan, classical Indian music were in all our ears. The concept of the band was set in stone fairly early, so then it was a case of doggedly pursuing our own path, which was not hard as it was so clearly marked out. These days our influences are whatever the three of us as individuals are involved in, outside of our activities with The Necks.

We also had to deal with the fact that thirty years ago, a band with no repertoire prepared, that just got up and improvised on the spot before an audience for an hour or more, was really strange, and quite confronting for some people. Some audience members were certain it was a joke. But gradually things changed – trance and dance also started doing long tracks that just sat on a groove forever, and we didn’t look so weird then. Plus nowadays with the internet, no matter where we play in the world, most audience members have already checked us out online.

What do you see in the future as challenges for the band and for yourselves as musicians? Nothing’s changed in three decades, and nothing’s going to change now. Every time we get on stage without anything prepared is a challenge, but a challenge that we love. We’ve never had any further ambition for the band than getting on stage and conjuring huge sound worlds out of nothing, and that’s what we are going to do until we’re no longer physically capable of it.

As for highlights, it’s hard to say. For starters, I have the sort of personality that quickly forgets my achievements in the striving for the next mountain top! I pat myself on the back when we have a great response, and then honestly, two nights later, I’ve almost forgotten it. We’ve played so many wonderful venues, from small art spaces to concert halls both ancient and brand new (the Concertgebouw, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg), funky squats, cathedrals, jazz clubs… Sometimes the most memorable shows have been in intimate spaces to small crowds. We’ve had some great collaborations, with Underworld, Brian Eno, conductor Ilan Volkov getting entire classical orchestras improvising behind us, shows with Chris Abrahams on pipe organ, opening for Swans, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the incredible Food Court theatre show…

Necks tour dates: Sun 6 Feb - The Street Theatre, Canberra ACT, Australia Wed 9 - Sat 12 Feb - Utzon Room, Sydney Opera House, Sydney NSW, Australia Mon 14, Tue 15 Feb - WA Museum Boola Bardip, Perth WA, Australia Sat 19 Feb - Adelaide Fringe Festival, Woodville Town Hall, Woodville SA, Australia

We were also deeply gratified to receive the Richard Gill Award for distinguished service to Australian music in 2019. That one really made us proud, I can tell you.

Pushkin, Dargomyzhsky and Don Juan The Story Behind a Russian Opera By Angela Cockburn

The importance of Pushkin as the outstanding Russian poet (easily on a par with Goethe in Germany) is difficult to appreciate for those of us who don’t speak Russian. But when you look at the wide range of his writing – odes, poems, political verse (which got him into trouble with the Czar), fairy tales, and of course Eugene Onegin – you begin to appreciate his influential place in the literature of his country. His recurring theme of a protagonist at odds with the system, often faced with a choice between duty and happiness, spoke to the hearts and minds of Russian readers.

The four small plays (Mozart and Salieri, The Miserly Knight, The Stone Guest, and A Feast in Time of Plague) are tight stories in dialogue form. According to recent translator Nancy K. Anderson they each deal ‘with a dominant protagonist whose central internal conflict determines both the plot and structure of the play... though each protagonist could avoid self-ruin, instead he freely chooses it’. They were probably never meant for the stage; but you can’t keep a good composer down when presented with a top-notch libretto, and each of the four tragedies has been adapted for opera. Rimsky-Korsakov tackled Mozart and Salieri; Sergei Rachmaninoff picked The Miserly Knight; A Feast in time of Plague was set by César Cui, and The Stone Guest – a retelling of the Don Juan legend – fell to Alexander Dargomyzhsky, the composer of the highly successful Rusalka.

In 1830, stuck in the country all wet autumn, with travel restricted by quarantines due to cholera, in just three months he knocked out three big chunks of Onegin, 30-odd lyric poems, one humorous piece, two mock folk tales in verse, five short stories in prose, a bit of another one, and the four plays now referred to as the Little Tragedies. Around forty-six pieces in 92 days – that’s a lot of work.

Album / Alamy Stock Photo

Impressed with Pushkin’s poetic dialogue, he set out to use all the original verses unchanged, as a form of continuous recitative without arias or choruses. He was very pleased with himself for thinking up this daring new musical concept, though he may not have planned for The Stone Guest to be performed in the theatre. Unfortunately, he died before the work was complete. Following his own wishes, the last few lines of Scene One were composed by Cui, and the orchestration was taken on by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, who later revised it, added an orchestral prelude and rewrote a few bits of Dargomyzhsky’s work. This has now become the standard version.

Pushkin himself had a reputation as something of a Don Juan. He even wrote two lists of women with whom he had been in love – over thirty of them. (No, not Mille e tre. But still...) He added a cartoon of himself as a monk, with an inscription addressed to the Devil: ‘Do not tempt me needlessly’. At the Opera, Wednesday 9 February 2022, 8:00pm

Wieniawksi Wandering minstrel, gambling addict, and 19th century superstar By Michael Morton-Evans

It has been said that when the virtuoso Polish violinist Henryk Wieniawski played his short seven-minute work, Légende, it brought tears to the eyes of the audience. Legend has it, if you will excuse the pun, that it also melted the heart of Englishman George Hampton, who had been violently opposed to his only daughter Isabella marrying the touring violinist. The marriage took place in August 1860 in Paris with Rossini as the witness and Henri Vieuxtemps playing the violin; the bride looked radiant and Mr Hampton had a smile on his face. If the truth be told, the reason Mr Hampton was smiling was because he had forced Wieniawski to take out a 200,000-franc life insurance policy (about $3m in today’s money) and insisted that he find a proper job. The proper job was court violinist to the Tsar of Russia in St Petersburg, and Violin Professor at the newly-founded Conservatory. He was to exert a tremendous influence on the Russian violin tradition, not least his unusual bowing style of stiff wrist and raised elbow, which was to become known years later as the Russian style. And when he published his Violin Concerto no 2 in D minor his fame as a composer was also secured. It was inevitable that the young Wieniawski was going to be compared with Paganini. He astounded his teachers at the Paris Conservatoire by playing all of Paganini’s caprices at the age of just nine. At eleven he won first prize for violin and was rewarded by Tsar Nicholas with a Guarnerius instrument when he returned home, Poland in those days being a part of the Russian empire. Wieniawski’s greatest friend when he returned to Russia after his marriage was Anton Rubinstein, and in 1872 the two of them embarked on a marathon tour of the United States. It’s hard to imagine now, but in those days visiting virtuosi like Wieniawski were treated by audiences in much the same way as Bruce Springstein or Justin Bieber are today. And just like some modern-day pop stars, Wieniawski was given to appearing at his concerts only

when it suited him. The result of course was whopping great fines for non-appearances. It didn’t help that at this time Wieniawksi had taken to gambling heavily, as well as making some disastrous investments on the American Stock Exchange. It didn’t help either that Rubinstein’s piano playing garnered far more attention, and eventually the partnership soured. Luckily Wieniawski was called urgently to go to Brussels to take over the Brussels Conservatory from an ailing Vieuxtemps, but he was himself exhausted and his own health began to fail. He had only been in the job 20-odd months before heart disease forced his resignation, but it didn’t seem to stop him performing. The story goes that at a concert in Berlin, where he was playing his second violin concerto, he had to call for a chair. He tried to continue seated but could not. As luck would have it, Joseph Joachim, another of the great violinists of the time, was in the audience. He borrowed a violin and played some Bach until Wieniawksi was well enough to continue. Economic necessity forced him to go on playing. He had squandered his money and was well-nigh broke, a discovery that was only made when he was rushed to hospital in Moscow in 1880 following another heart attack. Tchaikovsky’s long-time patron, Nadezhda von Meck, on hearing this, took him into her home, but he died a few weeks later. He had not even reached his 45th birthday. He left no money or property behind him and just 30 compositions, most of which are still popular with violinists to this day. He also left a daughter, Regine, who was to have a most interesting life. When she was eight, she was introduced to Nellie Melba, who was making her debut in Brussels. It was to be a fortuitous meeting, because in 1901, at the age of 23, Melba introduced her to Sir Aubrey Dean Paul, the fifth baronet and a descendant of the first Duke of Marlborough.

Immediately attracted, they were soon married and Regine became Lady Dean Paul. But she retained the pseudonym Poldowski which she used for her compositions and piano recitals. She was to write many beautiful songs, and it has been said that she had a considerable influence on Debussy. She divorced her husband 20 years later, but not before she had given birth to three children. The first, a son, died just before his second birthday; the second, a son named Brian, became the sixth baronet, muralist, and opium taker; the third, a daughter Brenda, became a well-known actor, but was better known as a society drug-taker who ended up in Holloway Prison and died of a drug overdose. Regine herself contracted pneumonia in 1932 and had to have her right lung removed, but to no avail. She died of a heart attack at the age of just 52. And with her the musical Wieniawski line came to an end. Composer Focus, 15 February 2022

Michael Griffin goes to Chapel Barry O’Sullivan reports on Michel Griffin’s next gig The last place that Michael Griffin, former Jazz Artist in Residence at 2MBS Fine Music 2018-19, imagined that he would be playing his saxophone on a Sunday would be in a chapel. After his popular long-standing weekend gig at the Potts Point Hotel was cancelled as a result of the lockdown and live music restrictions, Griffin was pleasantly surprised to receive an invitation for his quartet to play every Sunday afternoon in the Chapel Bar at Kinselas in Darlinghurst, the site of a former chapel and funeral parlour. The building has a long history: in 1932 undertaker Charles Kinsela commissioned young architect Chares Delit to convert it into a funeral home, complete with chapel and mortuary, in a soaring example of the art deco style that would make Delit famous. In 1982 the building was sold to restaurateur Leon Fink, who converted the property into a restaurant and cabaret venue, with the Sydney Dance Company being the first act to perform. However, a decline in patronage finished off the entertainment, and the room was filled with pool tables for many years. In 2021 the building was sold again, and the classic Taylor Square drinking dens Kinselas and adjacent Courthouse Hotel merged into one mega venue, in line with the City of Sydney’s vision of revitalizing Sydney’s nightlife and growing creative industries. Great news for live music, and especially the Michael Griffin Quartet, whose pianist Aaron Blakey, drummer Tim Geldens, bass player Jacob Graham, and sax player Michael Griffin will all be performing at the Chapel Bar between 4.00 pm and 7 pm every Sunday. And like every Chapel, entry is free.

CD REVIEWS First Flight to Tokyo: The Lost 1961 Recordings Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers Bluenote

This previously unreleased recording of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers is exhilarating, captured at Hibiya Public Hall, Tokyo, on 14 January 1961. This was the final show of the band’s first-ever tour of Japan, recorded for a documentary that never happened, featuring one of the band’s all-time great line-ups in the long history of Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers. Joining the legendary drummer Art Blakey were Lee Morgan on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Bobby Timmons on piano, and Jymie Merritt on bass. The two-disc album opens with an explosive Blakey solo, introducing a nearly 23-minute version of Now’s the Time, setting the scene

for the groove and sass to come. Highlights include two Bobby Timmons originals: Moanin’, featuring a lyrical Timmons on piano; and Dat Dere, with Shorter’s titanic and raucous blasts, followed by Morgan perfectly parsed blues. Other favourites include ‘Round About Midnight and Night in Tunisia. The album has the thrilling energy that I love about live recordings; a rawness that is absent from highly polished studio performances. And while some tracks or sections are compromised due to the recording quality, it simply invites a deeper listen, or at least headphones, to fully appreciate the virtuosity and verve. — Alex Siegers

The United States Vs Billie Holiday Andra Day Warner Brothers

Billie Holiday revolutionised the art of singing, during an extraordinarily troubled and tragically short life. Listening to the album, you need to check that it isn’t Billie Holiday singing. Instead, it is Andra Day. She’s got an unnatural quality that she’s brought to the singing of Billie’s iconic songs: strangely throaty; humble. One wonders how Andra was able to not just replicate the sound, but also bring so much pathos to the recordings. Just listening to the tracks induces visuals of Billie Holiday, a gardenia tucked over an ear, junked up, snapping her fingers while

she sings, doing the only thing she’s been good at; that voice that’ll retreat again to the rough hands of a dealer or brutal husband, once she’s done singing. The music is good. The performance amazing. There’s a nice piano accompanying all the favourites: All of Me; Strange Fruit; Lady Sings the Blues; Lover Man; God Bless the Child, and more. It is the soundtrack to the film The United States vs. Billie Holiday, originally released by Paramount Pictures and then Hulu, and is worth watching as well.

The Lost Codex of Avalon is the most recent release from the medieval music scholar, composer and harpist David Yardley. It draws on sacred and secular texts, often in translation from Middle English, which he has set to music. It comprises a variety of accompanying performers, including Australian ensembles Sydney Chamber Choir, The Song Company and Pastance, as well as a guest contribution by renowned medieval organist, Cristina Alís Raurich. Since childhood, Yardley has been fascinated by medieval legends and culture, and has travelled the world

in his quest for authentic medieval song and performance. He has drawn inspiration from the works of Tolkien, and states that this album is an attempt to recreate the lost music of Arthurian legend. In addition, it also includes some musical settings of evocative fantasy poetry and contemporary Australian works, including the poetry of Irish-Australian Anne Casey. The accompanying album booklet provides extensive background information. This disc is a must for all interested in medieval music.

Smoke Sessions Nicholas Payton Smoke Session Records

Nicholas Payton is a young man in a hurry. The multi-instrumentalist made his first record as leader when he was just 22 and now at the age of 48, he can reflect on a catalogue of 20 records as boss, and another twelve as a sideman with heavy hitters like Jimmy Smith and Joe Henderson. He may be even better known as a controversial commentator. His 2011 article On why Jazz isn’t Cool Anymore is still making waves. It also led to his refusal to use the J word, replacing it with Black American Music and setting up his own record label with the same name, BAM. He speaks to a ‘colonisation’ of Jazz by white America. All perfect stuff for the woke-fest of these strange times. Peyton has just released another

excellent record from April this year with a new line up including two senior legends of this music, George Coleman on tenor and bassist Ron Carter, who have both been laying down music for six decades. Nick plays his usual repertoire of trumpet, piano, and Fender Rhodes, and with Karriem Riggins on drums, rounds out a perfectly balanced and hugely competent quartet. The leader also handles most of the composing duties. A sparkling and good-humoured session with four brothers clearly enjoying music-making together. And Nick has released the fruits of this gig on the Smoke Sessions label, not BAM. Perhaps he’s lightening up? – Chris Wetherall

Dialog: Ich und Du; The Wrath of God; The Light of the End Sofia Gubaidulina Gewandhausorchester/Andris Nelsons DG 486 1457

The Russian/Tartar composer Sofia Gubaidulina celebrated her 90th birthday in 2021 and is still composing. The latest recording of her orchestral works opens with what is, effectively, Gubaidulina’s third violin concerto: Dialog: Ich und Du (2018). It’s a work that alternates between pathos and dramatic anguish. The earliest work on the disc, The Light of the End (2003), is perhaps the most adventurous work, using natural harmonics and alternative tunings to create music of an eerie beauty. The Wrath of God (2019) is her most recent orchestral work, a taut and terrifying journey into a spiritual maelstrom. The recording is the culmination of several

years work between the conductor Andris Nelsons, the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the composer. The clarity of nuance in the performances is unified and convincing with an aural impact that is astonishing, especially in the brass playing. This is not easy listening but it does contain a sense of optimism and exhilaration that confirms that the orchestra can still have a role in contemporary artistic life. Awarded the Presto World Premiere Recording of the Year (New Music) in 2021, this music is a revelation. – James Nightingale

Philips 446 678-2 2:04 In the garden of the Prince Tokmakov, Princess Olga, who is betrothed to the old nobleman, Matuta, meets her sweetheart, Mikhail. She convinces him not to leave for Siberia and then overhears the Prince tell Matuta the secret that she is not his daughter and that her father is unknown. News arrives that Tsar Ivan and his army are marching towards Pskov. The Prince, who rules Pskov for Ivan, assures the people that they have nothing to fear. Others, led by Mikhail, form a militia to defend Pskov and its freedoms, leaving for the forest to resist the Tsar’s forces. When Tsar Ivan arrives and sets eyes on Olga, he is astonished by her resemblance to his former lover, Vera Sheloga. After quizzing the Prince, he realises that Olga is his daughter. He sees this as a sign from God and decides to spare the city from his wrath. However, Olga does not know that Ivan is her father and, when the opportunity arises, she goes to the forest to meet Mikhail. Mikhail convinces her to live a life of freedom in the forest with him as outlaws, but Matuta’s guards fall upon them and abduct Olga. When this news reaches Ivan, he demands to see Olga, who begs him to spare Mikhail’s life. They are interrupted by a surprise attack upon the Tsar’s encampment by Mikhail and his rebels. Mikhail demands that Olga be handed over. Ivan refuses and orders that the rebels all be killed except Mikhail, who is to be captured alive. As Mikhail flees, Olga runs out of the tent and is killed by a stray bullet. She is brought to Ivan’s tent, where the Tsar weeps inconsolably and the people of Pskov mourn both for the dead Princess and for the loss of their freedom.

150th

A NNI V ERSA RY Dargomizhsky, A. The stone guest. Opera in three acts. Libretto taken from the verse play of the same name by Pushkin. First performed St Petersburg, 1872. DON JUAN: Vladimir Atlantov, ten DONNA ANNA: Tamara Milashkina, sop LAURA: Tamara Sinyavskaya, mezz DON CARLOS: Vladimir Valaitis, bar LEPORELLO: Alexander Vedernikov, bass STATUE: Vladimir Filippov, bass Bolshoi Theatre Ch & O/Mark Ermler. LP Melodiya SLS 5196 1:23 Pushkin’s 1830 version of the Don Juan story differs from the better-known libretto of Mozart’s opera. Don Juan has killed the Commendatore who is Donna Anna’s husband, not her father, while Don Juan’s previous conquest is not Elvira, but Laura, a young actress and Don Carlos is Laura’s lover. At the opera’s opening, Don Juan returns from exile seeking Laura who is with Don Carlos whose brother has been killed by Don Juan. The men duel and Don Carlos is slain. Don Juan, now in hiding and disguised as a friar, finds Donna Anna at her husband’s tomb and, with honeyed words, persuades her to let him come to her house the following night. Leporello asks how the Commendatore would react so Don Juan instructs him to invite the statue to keep guard at the widow’s door while she is being seduced. The statue nods its head in acceptance. Alone with Donna Anna, the ‘friar’ reveals his true identity as Don Juan and swears that he has never truly loved before. A knocking is heard and the statue says, ‘Behold me, your guest of stone. Give me your hand'. Don Juan yields and is carried off to final retribution. Strauss, R. Tone poem: Don Juan, op 20 (1888). Michel Schwalbé, vn; Berlin PO/ Herbert von Karajan. DG 474 281-2 18

Naxos 8.660216-17 1:32 The impoverished noblemen, brothers Mirko and Vasil, travel to Raviza for Jabuka, the annual Apple Festival, where they hope to sell their dilapidated castle at Gradinaz to Bambora, a rich starch factory owner. If that fails, they plan to find themselves rich brides at the festival. On the way, they meet Joschko, a court bailiff, at an inn and the brothers are worried that he may take their property before they can sell it to Bambora who has also stopped at the inn. Bambora's daughter, Annita, and Vasil fall in love. The carriage of the rich farmer, Mischa, has broken down. Mirko tries to woo Mischa's beautiful daughter, Jelka, but she refuses him. Mirko persuades Joschko to pretend he is a rich magnate and to offer to take Jelka in his carriage to Raviza. Jelka accepts but, instead, they go to Mirko's castle at Gradinaz which Mirko has disguised as an inn. He has invited all of the travellers to festivities at the 'inn' so that Jelka will think that she is in Raviza. Joschko declares Jabuka, the Apple Festival, has begun and hands out apples to the young men who give them to their chosen girls. If the girl bites the apple and returns it to the young man, a match is made. Mirko gives an apple to Jelka but she throws it at his feet. When the other girls mock Jelka, Mirko comes to her rescue and she falls in love with him.

COUNT NEIPPERG: Valter Borin, ten NAPOLÉON: Mauro Buda, bar Modena Community Theatre Choir; Emilia Romagna SO ‘Arturo Toscanini’/Stefano Ranzani. Dynamic CDS 247/1-2 2:03 The setting is Paris in August 1792 during the Insurrection that led to the abolition of the monarchy. The laundress, Caterina (Madame Carefree) is friendly with the quiet officer named Napoleon Bonaparte who lives close by. As Caterina is about to close in the evening, a wounded Austrian officer (Count Neipperg) arrives asking for help and she offers to hide him. Caterina’s fiancée, Sergeant Lefebvre arrives with his soldiers

but, when he finds the hidden man, decides to help Caterina in allowing him to flee. Nineteen years later, when Napoleon has become Emperor, Lefebvre, now the Duke of Danzig, is married to Caterina (now the Duchess) but the Emperor disapproves of the marriage. At a reception, Caterina is ridiculed for her carefree behaviour by two of the Emperor’s sisters; she retaliates and is called to see the Emperor. He orders her to divorce the Duke as she is not suited to be a duchess. Count Neipperg reappears and is caught entering the Empress’ apartment. Napoleon, suspecting an affair between them, orders the Count to be executed but Caterina intervenes and shows the Count to be innocent. Napoleon is so impressed by her behaviour that, as the Duchess of Danzig, Caterina appears on the Emperor's arm as the hunt is about to start. Colpito qui m’avete ...
