We regret that the front cover and intended interview of violinist Charmian Gadd had to be postponed at the last minute pending the outcome of a COVID test last week. We wish her well and hope that we can interview her at a later date. Instead, we have featured American jazz singer Melody Gardot, a relatively unknown name in Australia although she toured here with Diane Krall in 2010. Louise Levy sketches her career since the near-death collision with a Jeep in 2003 put her in hospital for an extended period; advice from a therapist that music could aid her recovery paradoxically kick-starting a a stellar career. Louise’s enthusiasm for Gardot is infectious; listen to the soulful Love Me Like A River Does and you’ll understand why. In other articles this month, Michael Morton-Evans describes the tragically short but musically prolific life of Gaetano Donizetti, Stephen Gard shares some insights into the works of Isaac Albéniz, whose life was also similarly cut short, and James Nightingale remembers the elder statesman of Australian classical music, Nigel Butterley, who died in February this year. Next month we’ll be covering two major jazz festivals, the Orange Jazz Festival, which is slated to become as big as Wangaratta, and the Sydney Con Jazz Festival; both are SIMA events. david.ogilvie@finemusicsydney.com

Joachim Raff The Forgotten Romantic By Robert Gilchrist I had a friend at university named Graham Bell, who played double bass. For my 21st birthday, he gave me an LP of the works of Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf. I fell in love with the music of this composer, whom I had never heard of before. It was this experience that taught me about the magic to be found in the work of little-known composers. Joachim Raff is another neglected genius, and a symphonist of uncommon gifts; his 200th birthday is on 27 May 2022. Raff was born and spent most of his life in the German part of Switzerland. In his youth, music was a mere hobby – he began his career as a schoolteacher. But his musical gifts couldn’t be ignored for long. Aged only 21, he sent a few of his pieces to Mendelssohn, who quickly wrote to his publisher saying, “Raff’s composition is elegant and faultless throughout and in the most modern style.” Raff’s ambition to study with Mendelssohn was unfortunately never realised due to the composer’s untimely death. A big fan of Franz Liszt, Raff walked 80 kilometres in the rain from his home to Basle to attend a recital by Liszt. Impressed by Raff’s tenacity and his musical skills, Liszt urged him to accompany him on a tour through Switzerland. He soon became Liszt’s pupil and assistant. Amongst other things, he helped his master with the orchestration of several of his symphonic poems. By way of returning the favour, Liszt arranged for a performance in Weimar of Raff’s opera King Alfred. Despite this achievement, poverty became Raff’s closest friend. The premiere in Weimar of Raff’s Symphony no 3, In the Forest, was a tremendous success. It was described as ‘the best symphony of modern times, one of the very few which can go down in posterity with the works of Beethoven and Schumann’. After one performance at which the composer was present, ‘a complete hurricane went through the house’ and Raff mounted the podium ‘amidst barbaric jubilation from the audience’. In 1877, Raff became director of the fledgling Frankfurt Conservatory, where he proved to be as progressive an educator as he was a composer. He quickly persuaded Clara Schumann to teach piano, the only woman on the faculty that first year. Soon Raff found others to join her, and he even oversaw the creation of a class for women composers – the first of its kind in Germany.
Lebrecht Music & Arts / Alamy Stock Photo It was around this time that he embarked on his most ambitious project: a cycle of four symphonies, one for each season. Unfortunately, Raff did not live to complete the last of these, his Winter Symphony, which was prepared for performance and publication by his friend, conductor Max Erdmannsdörfer. At the time of his death, of a heart attack in his sleep in Frankfurt in 1882, only Brahms and Wagner enjoyed a reputation that could match that of his. Yet within a few short years, Raff’s music had lapsed into obscurity. Only the initiative of adventurous recording companies and radio stations like 2MBS Fine Music Sydney have remedied this ignorance! Sunday Special, Celebrating Joachim Raff Sunday 22 May 3:00pm

Remembering Nigel Butterley James Nightingale looks at the work of an elder statesmen of Australian classical music
In February 2022, the Australian composer Nigel Butterley died after a long illness. He was one of the elder statesmen of Australian classical music, a man of generosity and acute insight which he shared freely. The details of his life were beautifully given in an obituary by Elliott Gyger, author of The Music of Nigel Butterley, for Limelight Magazine in February, a piece that I recommend for anyone wishing to find out more about the man himself. Fine Music will be remembering Butterley through his music in three New Horizons programs at the end of May and beginning of June, each program featuring one of his orchestral masterpieces.
perhaps Butterley’s most neo-classical work. The tone colours evoke the string music of Vaughan Williams and Tippett at the same time as looking back to the sounds of the English viol consorts of the 17th century, particularly when the final movement uses the form of a chaconne to unfold the music which ends in the radiant G major of Tallis’ original motet. The third major orchestral piece featured in our series Remembering Nigel Butterley is From Sorrowing Earth, a work prefaced by a poem by Kathleen Raine, a poet whose work has been highly important to Butterley’s music. It is perhaps Butterley’s most successful orchestral work, and this may be due to the relationship to Raine’s poetry. Although Raine does not use Butterley’s title, her poem foreshadows a journey from desolation to recovery. This narrative shape provides an opportunity for Butterley to indulge in one of his most conventional formal structures, a long introduction leading to a massive climax followed by a rather more optimistic epilogue.
The world of Butterley’s music is defined by his literary interests and his quiet spirituality. All three of the works featured in New Horizons are marked by these preoccupations. The first to be written was The Meditations of Thomas Traherne, dating from 1968. Thomas Traherne was a 17th century English poet and theologian, known for poetry that prefigured the Romantic expressions of love and admiration for the natural world of the late 19th century. Shared in Butterley’s music and Traherne’s poetry is a sense of naive or childlike contemplation of the world. Butterley does this on two levels: firstly, in his use of musical space and time; and secondly, with more obvious connection to children, through the inclusion of a mass of recorders in the central movement. This work is perhaps the one piece in which similarities with other Australian composers of the time, especially Peter Sculthorpe, might be made with Butterley’s music. For much of the rest of his work, there are very large differences in approach.
As we remember Butterley later this month, we will enjoy the sounds of a truly individual musical voice, portrayed by one of his strongest collaborators and proponents, Isaiah Jackson. The beauty and generosity of these recordings are a testament to an artistic partnership of true understanding and a musical voice whose like we may never see again. Nigel Butterley Remembered programs:
Completely different, but also featuring the influence of English poetry, is Goldengrove (1982). The words of another poet-priest, Gerald Manley Hopkins, underpin the conception of the piece but there is another layer of Goldengrove found through the inclusion of a quotation from a motet by Thomas Tallis. This work for string orchestra is lambent in its tonal harmony and is

The Wizard of Catalonia Stephen Gard investigates Isaac Albéniz
08
Illustration by Lyndon Pike
Isaac Manuel Francisco Albéniz y Pascual was a child prodigy. Born 1860 in the Catalan village of Camprodon, Albéniz was playing piano by the age of four. He was home-schooled, somewhat negligently: his father took young Isaac on a concert tour of Spain when the boy was just nine.
Some believe that Albéniz was driven to an early grave by the frenetic and vexing Coutts: Albeniz died in 1909, aged 48. Coutts demanded that Albéniz compose in the lofty Wagnerian manner, alien to the Spaniard’s earthy spirit, though not beyond his ability. Later opinion points to the composer’s gluttony, obesity, penchant for the cigar fortissimo, and chronic intestinal disorders; Albéniz suffered kidney failure. Perhaps Coutts and incontinence were joint culprits.
Albéniz had a vagabond youth, running away several times from his tyrannical parent and earning his keep as a pianist. As a teenager he took ship and voyaged abroad with his father, a customs official, performing in Europe, North America, and Latin America. This wanderlust brought Albéniz familiarity with a great many styles of music, and a spreading reputation as an extraordinary pianist. He studied with Franz Liszt, and at conservatories in Leipzig and Brussels. He also attracted the attention and support of wealthy patrons.
Save for its Prelude, Merlin was not performed in the composer’s lifetime and the score was long believed lost. ‘Buried’ might be a better word. José De Eusebio reconstructed Merlin from a litter of sketches, photo-negatives, piano reductions, and error-ridden proofs. A studio recording of the opera was released in 1999, with Eusebio conducting Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid.
Young Albéniz knew little of musical theory. He had learned his craft ‘by ear’. Yet that sensitive organ had absorbed much. His composition teacher Felipe Pedrell said of Albéniz: “I determined never again to talk to him about rules, chords, resolutions, and other technical hieroglyphics; but to dwell on a fine and cultivated taste, merely seeing to it that so extraordinary an intelligence was correctly guided … These theories of instrumentation were not written for you … in the end they will paralyse your natural genius.”
The tale of King Arthur, Morgan le Fay, Merlin the Sorcerer, and the knights of fabled Camelot is familiar mythic fare. The libretto is negligible, the texts mannered and often absurd. Coutts gave Albéniz a tortured lyric to set. One example will suffice: When flowerets of the marigold and daisy are enfolden And wingless glow-moth stars of love englimmer all the glades, The paynim fairies footing forth in every forest olden Dance hand in hand the saraband with fair enchanted maids!
Pedrell compared Albéniz to a wineskin, ‘holding a fragrant vintage gilded by the Mediterranean sun.’ It was Pedrell who encouraged Albéniz to explore Spanish musical idioms, resulting in the Chants d’Espagne (1892). Inspired by the fioritura of folkloric guitar, composed for the piano and transcribed for the guitar, it has become part of the guitar repertoire. The art of Isaac Albéniz inscribed Spain indelibly on the modern musical map. The suite Iberia (1906-1909) remains his pieza de resistencia.
The score is rich in innovation and interest. Gregorian plainchant a cappella; chromatic tympani in anticipation of Impressionists like Debussy. “Audacious string-writing, a new and ambitious treatment of the voice,” notes Eusebio. “Here is an opera, ground-breaking in many respects.” A Wagnerian influence is clear in the leitmotifs, and Merlin is through-composed; there are no ‘separable’ numbers, no show-stopping da capo arias.
In the 1890s, Albéniz tried his hand at composing zarzuelas, traditional Spanish light opera then enjoying a revival. Often in financial straits – he lost a fortune speculating on the stock market – Albéniz found he could earn more by setting English libretti for the London stage. The Magic Opal (1893) was theatrically a flop, but with renewed interest in Albéniz, has since been revived and acclaimed. This comic opera brought him to the attention of the banker and dilettante librettist Francis MoneyCoutts, who paid Albéniz a handsome retainer but insisted that he compose opera for no-one else. Their collaboration produced Henry Clifford and the successful Pepita Jiminez. They planned a trilogy based on Le morte d’Arthur of which only the first part, Merlin, was completed.
How ‘English’ is this English opera on an English theme by a cosmopolitan Spanish composer who claimed to have Moorish blood? Not very. Isaac Albéniz’ orchestral warmth and colour, his Romany rhythms, his melodies both supple and subtle translate us to an enchanted realm of his own. At the Opera, Wednesday 18 May 2022, 8:00pm

The Miracle that was Gaetano Donizetti By Michael Morton-Evans
Born in a windowless cellar in a straggle of houses clinging to the hillside of the northern Lombardy town of Bergamo in 1797, it’s a miracle that the ragged child christened Domenico Gaetano Maria Donizetti survived long enough to be the musical genius he became. His health was never good, and he was to die at the age of 51, but from the age of nine, when his musical talents were first discovered, until his death, Donizetti had completed 65 operas, 22 piano works, 31 chamber works, nine concerti, 11 orchestral works and three choral pieces.
himself resulted in unevenness in his compositions and deterioration of his home life. There were whispers of nights spent cruising parks and back alleys, of women preying on his weakness for orgies. He was always pretty earthy, but his letters from that time began to take an increasingly obscene turn. It has been deduced that he was suffering from satyriasis, a condition that often accompanies the latter stages of syphilis. Nevertheless, operas continued to flow and during his time as Professor of Composition at the Naples Conservatoire he became Neapolitan enough to have written some of the most popular songs of the day, but was always to be considered an outsider there, a foreigner. Then tragedy struck again in 1830. Both his parents died, and then a year later, after just three years of marriage, his wife Virginia died of cholera.
Mind you, the young Donizetti never doubted his brilliance. When he was 14 he authored a poem which included the lines “I, in a very modest manner, shall walk about with bowed head; I’ll have rave reviews; I can become immortal; My mind is vast, my genius swift; And at composing a thunderbolt am I.” Well, his genius was certainly swift. He had the facility to compose at great speed, and often would have a hand in the libretto as well. His father, the local pawnbroker, had wanted him to become a scientist, but the hold of music was too strong for the boy, who neglected his studies to compose quartets and church music. In 1818, aged 21, his first opera was performed in Venice. Entitled Enrico di Borgogna, in English Henry of Burgundy, it was received by an appreciative audience, but didn’t make much of a mark on the musical world. It wasn’t until some thirteen years later that he really scored his first major success with Anna Bolena which premiered in Milan.
Little surprise that Donizetti’s operas were inspired by the happenings of his own life and the life around him. Though he was greatly influenced by Bellini and Rossini, he carved a niche for himself. Through his childless Lucia and the doomed Anne Boleyn, he became the third prong of those bel canto giants pre-Verdi. He is remembered for his expressive vocabulary, which allowed the singers of his time to display their special vocal talents. So much so, in fact, that after his death a great many singers refused to appear in his operas on the grounds that the demands on their voices was too great. A perfect example of this was Anna Bolena, who Maria Callas brought back to the world stages, where it is now a staple of many opera companies.
But with success also came tragedy. Three years earlier Donizetti had married Virginia Vasselli, the daughter of a rich family that had befriended him on his first visit to Rome. A year later she had delivered them a son, but he was badly handicapped and died after a few weeks. Two other babies were later stillborn. And the pace at which Donizetti was driving
For Italian composers of this period, moving to Paris became the ultimate marker of international fame. Both Bellini and Rossini died there, while Verdi spent several years living in the French capital. So did Donizetti. One of the great attractions was the relative freedom from censorship which plagued
10
Italian opera and caused the cancellation of more than one of his operas. Paris helped Donizetti to expand his musical range on a scale no other city offered, not even Vienna, where in 1842 he was given the post of Imperial Kapellmeister. The job involved a little light composing and some teaching, enabling him to write at least two more operas. However, bad health was increasingly taking its toll, and finally, he was diagnosed with cerebro-spinal syphilis. His demise over the next few years was slow and painful. In 1845 he was struck by paralysis, and not long afterwards doctors diagnosed dementia. Donizetti began to grow incoherent and was taken to an asylum. He lost his sense of balance and kept falling over, and wept constantly, believing that he was in jail. His friends in Bergamo finally brought him to his hometown, where he stayed at Baroness Scotti’s palace until he died in 1848, aged just 51. Donizetti’s greatest characteristic as a composer, and his greatest weakness, was his facility. He wrote with incredible speed, more than once completing an entire opera and libretto within a fortnight. But from his humble beginnings, by the time of his death he had made an international name for himself. More than 4000 people were present at his funeral, the procession composing of the numerous clergy of Bergamo, the most illustrious members of the community and the entire civic guard of the town. Three military bands accompanied the coffin playing some of the bestknown melodies from his operas. Composer Focus. 1pm, Tuesday, May 17. Stock Illustrations Ltd / Alamy Stock Photo

From ‘accidental musician’ to shining star – Melody Gardot By Louise Levy
Living with the Covid pandemic, I have changed my habits. One thing I like to do at home nowadays is to listen to jazz musicians, and one of my favourite singer-songwriters is the stunning Melody Gardot.
and one live album, Live in Europe. Her fifth studio album Sunset in the Blue included performances recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a bonus track, Little Something, featuring Sting.
I first heard Gardot’s album My One and Only Thrill at 2MBS Fine Music. It prompted me to look for more about her online, where I found articles detailing the surprising and illuminating journey of her life.
In 2015, in a 15-minute live interview with Marco Gandolfi, the editor of Music-News.com, Gardot shows her thoughtfulness about the sound of her music, her band and the ‘politics’ in her songs. She explains that she liked being aware of ‘consciousness’ as a songwriter and talks about the history of some of the songs and their meaning, giving the examples of Louis Armstrong’s Pennies from Heaven during the depression, and Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit which protested the lynching of Black Americans.
Born in New Jersey in 1985 to a single mother who worked as a photographer, Gardot started learning music when she was nine, including the piano. At 16 she began performing in bars on Fridays and Saturdays for four-hour stretches, playing an eclectic selection of songs, from The Mamas & the Papas to Radiohead and Duke Ellington. Then, bi-lingual in French and English, at the age of 18 she started studying fashion at the Community College of Philadelphia.
In another YouTube video, You Must Know Melody Gardot , Michael Palmisano talks about her life and explains her ‘badass jazz attitude’. Then he watches Gardot and her band playing Love Me Like a River Does. At the beginning, he mentions her stick sitting next to her piano, then he watches and listens to Gardot and her band performing the song. It was magic! Afterwards, he talks in awe of her music.
In November 2003, she had a bicycle accident when she was hit by a car, sustaining serious head, spinal, and pelvic injuries, spending the following year in hospital. A therapist suggested Gardot should use music to help her recovery, so she learnt the guitar and wrote her own songs during rehabilitation.
As the music industry started to collapse last year, Gardot tried to find ways to help other musicians. One way was to create a global orchestra of musicians and to perform the re-releases From Paris with Love. The musicians were paid and afterwards the track was donated to a charity called Protégé Ton Soignant.
In 2005, she self-released Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions, her debut EP. The autobiographical song Some Lessons included the poignant lines, “To think that I could have fallen / A centimeter to the left / Would not be here to see the sunset”. It’s worth noting here that she found sitting up for long periods very painful, so consequently learned guitar lying on her back!
So, if you spend some time looking at the different sides of Melody Gardot, you will see she is a shining star. And didn’t I mention it? She has a fabulous voice!
The following year Gardot followed this up with an independent studio album called Worrisome Heart. She was now focused on music and went on to release another four studio albums, four listed EPs,

FineJazz Happenings May 2022 – Keith Pettigrew
Friday Jazz Sessions Of the 15 jazz programs on 2MBS Fine Music Sydney, two are notable for the wide range of jazz they broadcast. On Monday’s Jazz Pulse, Chris Wetherall delights his audience with anecdotes and surprising by-the-ways from the full range of jazz, from Louis to Coltrane, with a good touch of Ellington and Basie. And there is current jazz from Australian musicians. “Everything from J to Z, with lots in between” is Chris’s byline. On Friday’s Friday Jazz Session, Alex Siegers covers a wide spectrum, recently celebrating jazz greats such as Carmen McRae, Astrud Gilberto, and Aretha Franklin. Alex is a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium as a jazz singer and is heading back to the campus to complete her Honours. So, she’s working with Heath Auchinachie, who, while a classical guitarist, has a fondness for obscure pressings of jazz recordings. Sometimes you’ll hear a twohanded program; sometimes it will be Alex’s delightful presence with playlist from Heath; and then there’ll be a bit of Heath and his own elegant self. Stay tuned to Fridays. Showcasing Women in Jazz The role of women throughout jazz history has been problematic. Attitudes have been stilted: jazz dens are places of debauchery; a woman’s part is just to add glamour; a woman’s role is to provide a safe home; men play jazz, and women sing. Female vocalists having been stigmatised as non-musicians for decades by instrumentalists, their input undermined simply because they didn’t write the song, compose the harmony, execute the improvisation, or solo that instrument. For some, it has just been a men’s club.
However, women add finesse, style, emotion, pathos, and intelligence to jazz, just as they have contributed to other genres. Male singers tend to croon: female songstresses add lyrics that not only tell a human story, but in a voice that can improvise just as any saxophone. Australian jazz legend Sandy Evans has been driving Women In Jazz festivals for years and running workshops for young women who otherwise would get lost in the vagaries of remnant stereotypes. And now, a burst from a young Sydney bassist and vocalist. Sarah Homeh is a recent UNSW jazz graduate and is curating a series of six events at Marrickville’s Gasoline Pony “Showcasing Women In Jazz”. She has gathered young jazz women to perform the work of great jazz women, forebears and contemporary alike. Think Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith. Sarah’s project endeavours to dismantle stereotypes of women in music, validating the contributions made, past and present. Eventually, she doesn’t want any showcasing of women in jazz, achieving a music community that supports everyone, without discrimination on gender, race, or sexuality. Misquoting Simone de Beauvoir from her famous book The Second Sex, “I hope someday this concert series is outdated”. Emergent Jazz on 2MBS Fine Music is proud to have broadcast Sarah and her daring “Showcasing Women in Jazz”. Check out the two remaining shows on the first Thursday in May and June: Women Vocalists in Jazz, and 21st Century Women in Jazz.

Volunteer Spotlight MBS and Me David Garrett looks back on his association with 2MBS Fine Music since its inception in 1975 M is for music. That’s where it started for me. Playing recorder, singing in choirs, and listening. In the 1950s I was an Australian boy growing up in Geneva, Switzerland, where I heard my first concerts – from the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, for example – and even performed in concerts myself. And I listened to our family’s vinyl LPs, played on the radiogram from its single speaker. B is for broadcasting. My early memories of music broadcasting include listening to ‘stereo’ broadcasts, two radios side by side, each tuned to one of the Sydney ABC stations – AM was all there was – one broadcasting the left, one the right channel. Stereo, in the early 1960s, was still a novelty, and became one of the goals of FM pioneers (Stereo FM Radio was the first title of our program guide). For me in broadcasting, music – the MBS kind – is the message. The medium was to be FM – and we were its pioneers for Australia. Eventually I worked for the ABC, but MBS came first. That irresistible founder of MBS, the late Trevor Jarvie, popped his head around my office door one day at the University of Sydney, and asked me to write program notes for concerts at the Cell Block Theatre, recorded in case we actually got a radio station! Those notes were among the first of my thousands. S is for Society, and thus I was recruited to the enthusiastic band of volunteers MBS has always been. It was 1975 and I was teaching history. In 1976, MBS was in its first full year on air, having persuaded government that Australia should have FM, and launched an all-music first FM station. That year I changed my music hobby into my job. Part of my job as Administrator of Sydney Philharmonia Society was programming concerts and writing about music for Sydney’s busiest choral organisation. In 1985 I made a segue to artist and repertoire planning for the ABC, for all six capital city symphony orchestras, until 2003. All their concerts were broadcast – the ABC soon followed MBS into FM. But my own broadcasting, occasional radio features aside, was on 2MBS, not ABC. In the late 1980s I also served on the Board of the Music Broadcasting Society and as treasurer for some years. Music has been my profession, singing in choirs and broadcasting an amateur’s passion.
Illustration by Lyndon Pike I’m a historian too, not least of music (my doctoral thesis was about the ABC, music and orchestras in the 1930s). For the 40th anniversary of 2MBS I wrote some of its history, for the website, but programming and presentation are my main contribution. Words about Music is the name I gave a hands-on training course at the Australian Youth Orchestra’s national music camp, offered each year by my successors since 1992. Radio presentation overlaps with my hundreds of pre-concert talks all over Australia. COVID suspended concerts, but not our broadcasts. During lockdown I was sometimes the sole person to enter the station that day, presenting the only three of 24 hours of music broadcast ‘live’. I still get up long before dawn on weekends, once a fortnight, to listen to music I choose, present and hope others will enjoy. That’s the mission of MBS, that means so much to me.

Live Performance Review: Jagged Little Pill the Musical Tessa Miles reviews the cultural exploration based around Alanis Morissette’s hit song.
In a world full of jukebox musicals, another was added to the mix in 2019 with Jagged Little Pill. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the title track from the 1995 Alanis Morissette album. While some may assume this musical is about Morissette’s life, they will be mistaken, but the fury of the album matches the feeling and themes of the show. After its September 2021 opening was disrupted by COVID lockdowns, the show opened in December 2021 for a strictly limited two-week run, marking the reopening of The Theatre Royal Sydney, and is set to return in July 2022. Jagged Little Pill was the winner of two of its twelve Tony nominations and won the Grammy in 2021 for Best Musical Theatre Album. Morissette would only greenlight the musical if it moved her, spurred her to grow and asked something on multiple levels, and that it did. While most musicals may be sunshine and rainbows, Jagged Little Pill highlights the struggles of a seemingly perfect suburban American family highlighting real world themes of drug use, sexual assault, and identity – both gender and cultural, while facing demons and trauma from the past. What better album to adapt to a stage show like this than Jagged Little Pill?
Natalie Bassingthwaite as Mary Jane Healy and Tim Draxl as her husband Steve lead a young cast, most of whom are making their theatre debuts or are fresh out of high school or full-time study, giving this show an exciting energy from the very first note. But the standout cast member is Maggie McKenna, best known for their role as Muriel Heslop in Muriel’s Wedding the Musical. McKenna, who plays the queer non-binary best friend Jo to Frankie Healy, the adopted daughter of Mary Jane and Steve Healy, deserves an award for their portrayal of this role and their performance of You Oughta Know which earned them a mid-show standing ovation – something I have never witnessed before and I’ve seen Hamilton seven times! While this show deals with a lot of heavy themes, there is a balance of comedy and lightness that ties the show together. Bassingthwaite also delivers a stellar performance, backed up by an ensemble member during Uninvited at the peak of the show. It is a shame that this musical was initially only playing in Sydney for an extremely limited time. I believe this show is important for many to see, as it challenges the characters’ and the audience’s views on a variety of real-world issues. Jagged Little Pill is now playing in Melbourne and will return to The Theatre Royal Sydney in July. The show has the potential to be a standout musical of 2022, and hopefully by the time it returns to Sydney it will have all the kinks ironed out. If you have teenage children or grandkids, get yourself and them a ticket to this show to have your perspective challenged, if not just to see Maggie McKenna’s outstanding performance. To ZMQ, good on ya!

CD REVIEWS Philip Glass: Symphony no 14 LGT Young Soloists Orange Mountain Music OMM 0161
Late in his career, Philip Glass has become something of a symphonist. He composed his first at the age of 55 and the latest, Symphony no 14, subtitled Liechtenstein Suite, at 84. This latest will please fans of Glass, but won’t do much to allay criticism that he writes the same piece over and over again. More engaging is Glass’s first Piano Concerto, subtitled Tirol, which opens the disc. Performed by Martin James Bartlett, a young English pianist with an impressive CV, the concerto has more of the energy and direction that we expect
of Glass’s music. The performance by the LGT Soloists, an ensemble of young string players brought together by the sponsor, LGT private bank (owned by the Liechtenstein royal family) and led on this recording by Alexander Gilman, lacks a unified approach to the intonation and articulation in places, perhaps understandable in a ‘project’ ensemble. In conclusion, the disc didn’t live up to my hopes for it. — James Nightingale
Rhythms of Change Claire Edwards, percussion Move Records MD 3459
Claire Edwardes is a percussionist — described by Canberra’s City News as ‘the sorceress of percussion’ — and artistic director of Ensemble Offspring. She is conscious of the need to address the imbalance in representation of female and Indigenous composers, and Rhythms of Change, like her Ensemble’s Offspring Bites 2, consists of commissioned works by female-identifying Australian composers for either marimba or vibraphone. Some of the compositions are intended for emerging percussionists, and include Maria Grenfell’s melodically and rhythmically inventive Stings and Wings (one of its movements inspired by music she had written for the documentary Quoll Farm); Bree van
21
Reyk’s spare but resonant Slipstream; and Anne Cawrse’s varied Dance Vignettes. A couple of the pieces reflect upon COVID-19, with Receptor, by Peggy Polias, echoing the spikes and spirals of the virus itself, and Mirroring, by Alice Chance, examining the gap between the real and the virtual forced upon us by various lockdowns. Ella Macens’ Falling Embers, for vibraphone and crotales (small, tuned metal disks), meditates on recent bushfires, illustrating in shimmering detail the ‘final glow before life burns out’.

In a dream, Scipio (Scipio Africanus the Younger) has to decide which goddess he wants to guide him through his life: Fortune, the provider of the world’s good things, or the reliable, trustworthy Constancy. He finds himself in the temple of heaven where he recognises his uncle and adoptive father, Publio (Scipio Africanus the Elder), who assures him that only the mortal bodies of the heroes are dead; their spirits are alive and immortal. Publio speaks of the rewards that await the blessed in heaven and Scipio’s father, Emilio, speaks of the frailty of mortals and shows him the earth, a tiny speck amid the innumerable stars of the universe. Fortune tries to persuade him to choose her, telling him of her power to destroy and create, to corrupt innocence and empower evil, but also to bring him good luck. Constancy says that only she can bestow the power of loyalty and that evil cannot always defeat virtue. Scipio chooses Constancy and is eager to join the heroes in the temple of heaven but learns that he must return to earth to suffer and conquer before he merits a place in Paradise. Furious at being rejected, Fortune calls plagues down on Scipio but he prevails against Fortune, waking in his palace, feeling the presence of Constancy beside him.

Charpentier, M-A. Médée. Opera in a prologue and five acts. Libretto by Thomas Corneille. First performed Paris, 1693. MÉDÉE: Jill Feldman, sop JASON: Gilles Ragon, ten CRÉUSE: Agnès Mellon, sop KING CRÉON: Jacques Bona, bass ORONTE: Philippe Cantor, bar Les Arts Florissants/William Christie, hpd & dir. Harmonia Mundi HMC 901139/41 3:01 Pursued by the Thessalonians because of Medea’s crimes, Jason and Medea seek refuge in Corinth. After ten years of marriage and two children, Medea complains that Jason is deserting her for Creusa but he vows that he is paying her attention in order to ensure that her doting father, King Creon, will continue to protect them. However, Jason falls in love with Creusa who is betrothed to Oronte, prince of Argos. Oronte arrives with his army and Jason leads them and the Corinthian army to victory against the Thessalonians. Creon tells Medea that she must leave Corinth but that her two children will remain with Creusa. Creusa confesses her love to Jason. Now aware that Creusa will marry Jason, Oronte promises to help Medea who is planning revenge for her rejection. Medea summons demons who bring her a poisoned robe for Creusa. Creon is angry that Medea has not left Corinth but, through witchcraft, she makes Créon insane. When news arrives of Créon's madness and death, Medea touches Creusa's poisoned robe with her wand and it bursts into flames. Poisoned, Creusa dies in Jason's arms. Medea now appears in a flying chariot, pulled by dragons, to announce to Jason that she has stabbed their children. She leaves as the palace of Corinth bursts into flames. Motet pour les trépassés.

Sándor Barinkay returns from exile to claim his estate and, as the new local squire, is elected chief of the gypsies. He begins to dress as a gypsy baron. The fortune-telling Romany Queen, Czipra, tells Sándor that his future wife will discover a hidden treasure. He falls in love with Czipra’s daughter, Sáffi who dreams of the treasure’s location. When Czipra reveals that Sáffi is the daughter of the last Pasha of Hungary and the rightful owner of the treasure, Sándor says that he cannot marry one so exalted. Men are being recruited for the army and Sándor marches away with them. After successful battles, Sándor and others come back as heroes who have been raised to the nobility. So Sáffi and Sándor are able to marry. Waltz: On the beautiful blue Danube, op 314 (1867). New York Vocal Arts Ensemble; Raymond Beegle, conductor.

Albéniz, I. Merlin. Opera in three acts, part 1 of the King Arthur trilogy. Libretto by Francis Money-Coutts. First performed Barcelona, 1950.
Merlin is determined that Arthur will be crowned King of England. He urges the crowd to choose a new king, but is told that divine providence will reveal the heir to the throne. The Archbishop reads the inscription on the sword Excalibur: ‘He who frees it from the stone will be the new king’. A tournament is organised. Arthur, who has left his own sword behind on his way to the tournament, sees Excalibur and easily pulls it from the stone. Merlin tells the crowd that Arthur is the son of Queen Igraine and all proclaim him King, except Morgan Le Fay and her followers. Arthur confesses his love for Guinevere to Merlin who warns him that danger lies there. Morgan foresees that Guinevere will be Arthur’s consort, which will bring about the destruction of the crown. She plots to get rid of Merlin whose magic protects Arthur. Nivian, a Saracen slave-girl, asks Morgan to help her win her freedom from Merlin. She and her sisters seduce the gnomes whose gold Merlin then steals. Morgan tells her of the power of Merlin’s wand and the weakness of the rock at the entrance of the gnomes’ grotto and that he must be imprisoned there. Meanwhile, Arthur has entrusted Merlin to ask formally for Guinevere’s hand, but Merlin plans to make Arthur forget her. First, he must steal more gold from the gnomes, so he calls for Nivian. Arousing Merlin’s desires with her dancing, she asks to hold his wand. He gives it to her, unaware that she knows its secret. As he enters the gnomes’ cavern, Nivian invokes the spirit of freedom, striking the rock at the entrance. She disappears into the forest, leaving Merlin imprisoned in the cavern. d’Indy, V.

the gods of Olympus. As the sea nymphs announce the rising of the sun, Andromeda awakes and attempts to spark pity in the dragon. She laments her fate, alone on the island. Her self-pity is broken by the arrival of Perseus on his flying steed, Pegasus. The hero introduces himself without any sense of humility and when the furious Cathos appears, Perseus first tries to turn the dragon to stone with the head of Medusa. When this doesn’t work, he draws his sword and despite the protestations of Andromeda, Perseus slices the dragon in two. With his dying breath Cathos speaks his love for Andromeda. The girl is touched by Cathos’ words and refuses to leave with the pretentious Perseus, who abandons her. From the broken shell of the dragon, a handsome prince emerges and the pair sing a love duet accompanied by the song of the sea nymphs. Bertoni, F. Orfeo ed Euridice. Opera in three acts. Libretto by Ranieri de’ Calzabigi. First performed Vienna, 1762. ORFEO: Delores Ziegler, mezz EURIDICE: Cecilia Gasdia, sop IMENEO: Bruce Ford, ten Ambrosian Opera Choir; I Solisti Veneti/ Claudio Scimone. ARTS 447118-2 1:05 The grieving Orfeo resolves to go to Hades to find his deceased wife, Euridice. Imeneo, the god of marriage, appears and announces that the gods, moved by Orfeo’s grief, have decided to allow him to bring Euridice back on condition that he does not look at her until they have returned. At the entrance to Hades, the Furies bar Orfeo’s way but he calms them by playing his lyre and singing an eloquent song of his grief. They relent and allow Orfeo to pass into the Underworld. In the Elysian Fields, the Blessed Spirits dance and the Shades bring in his veiled wife. On the journey to the upper world, Euridice becomes agitated because Orfeo will not look at her and fears that he no longer loves her. Unable to resist her anguished pleas, Orfeo turns and, as he embraces her, she dies once more. Overcome with grief, Orfeo plans to take his own life. Imeneo appears, saying that because Orfeo has passed the test of faith and constancy, Euridice is restored to life. Gluck, C. Excerpts from Orfeo ed Euridice (1762).
