NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

Daniel Barenboim has been around for so long, and performed with such distinction, that it’s hard to imagine the world of classical music without him. He has attracted dozens of awards and prizes, ranging from multiple Grammys to prestigious international recognition, including an honorary Knight Commander OBE, France’s Legion d’honneur, and the only federal decoration of Germany, the Order of Merit.

In addition to his musical achievements, history will remember him for his contribution to peace in the Middle East with the establishment of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra with Edward Said. Spain awarded them the Prince of Asturias Award, described by UNESCO as for those who have made ‘an exceptional contribution to the cultural

BBC producer and composer Robert Simpson once referred to his friend Havergal Brian as a ‘geriatric prodigy’, who unlike Barenboim, lived most of his life in comparative obscurity, despite having written 32 symphonies, five operas, and a number of part-songs and choral works. He lived well into his nineties and we mark the 50th anniversary of his death with a program at the end of the month. Paul Cooke looks at the life of a man who also wrote the world’s largest symphony.

Less well-known Musicals

Angela Cockburn looks at a series of musicals that were sold through newsagents

Over the last few months, I’ve been having fun exploring CDs of musicals published by TER Orbis as a magazine-mounted collection sold through the newsagents. I’d bought No 1 when it came out – The Phantom of the Opera, half-price as an introductory special – but didn’t continue with it, so I was delighted when former Fine Music volunteer Elizabeth Hill gave me a basket with the entire collection, courtesy of her friend, Patsy Gore.

Sorting through, I found lots of less familiar titles in among the old favourites, and I was given the go ahead to create a series for the third Saturday of the month in the Stage and Screen 6pm timeslot.

Organised into themed groups of three at a time, over the months we’ve explored showbiz several times – musicals about being in musicals are very popular, particularly if the heroine takes over the lead role in time for the end curtain. We’ve looked at love a lot, and we’ve explored some surprising real-life themes such as trying to have a baby. That musical is called Baby. Really.

The Hired Man, about farming in England, mining, and World War I also tackled some big themes, and Valmouth, rather gently, touched on racial prejudice.

October was a ‘hard world’, whether you were about to be drafted into the Vietnam War in Galt MacDermot’s Hair, Mr Chips failing to communicate his love of the classics to several generations of English public school boys (in an original cast recording featuring John Mills), or a cabaret performer on tour who develops the courage to build her act on what she really feels in I’m getting my act together and taking it on the road (in another original cast recording).

In November ‘Life is not so easy’, especially, as it turns out, for Candide. Excerpts from Bernstein’s musical are presented by the Scottish Opera conducted by Justin Brown. In Noel Coward’s Bitter Sweet a society girl marries her music teacher

and finds herself entertaining in a nightclub while his old girlfriend Manon (not that one) sings If love were all, I should be lonely. This 1988 Bittersweet was a production by the short-lived New Sadler’s Wells Opera company, which was established with the specific purpose of performing neglected operettas. The third in the group is Ivor Novello’s The dancing years which again explores love between different social classes, this time against the background of the rise of Nazism, in a special recording featuring the National Symphony Orchestra.

And in December we revisit Annie, Pickwick and, of course, Scrooge. Drop in on Auntie Mame for a little more Christmas cheer, and add some festive tracks from Doris Day, Fats Waller, and Johnny Mercer (with Jack Teagarden) to conclude the series.

Do join me for the last couple of programs in this entertaining series.

‘...this sincere and extremely sensitive pianist’

Derek Parker profiles Noel Mewton-Wood

Did the tragic death of the Australian pianist Noel Mewton-Wood at the age of only 31 really deprive the world of a ‘great’ pianist? Many obituarists believed so, and the recent publication of a number of previously unobtainable recordings has done much to support the claim.

Mewton-Wood was born in Melbourne in 1922 and studied first at the Conservatorium there with the fine teacher Waldemar Seidel, moving on to the Royal Academy in London, then to Italy for lessons with Artur Schnabel. His London debut was in 1940 at the Queen’s Hall with the LSO under Beecham, when he announced with Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto a talent immediately recognised by several critics.

Despite his obvious flair, he was never taken up by a major record company and for many years after his death admirers mourned the relatively tiny number of his commercial recordings. Fortunately, the BBC has recently released formerly unavailable recordings of his work – including a performance with Beecham of the huge Busoni Piano Concerto

His professional career, though it lasted only thirteen years, was crowded: apart from performances in England (on one occasion touring as accompanist to the tenor Richard Tauber), he played also in Europe, South Africa, Turkey and at home in Australia. In London he entertained friends at his house in Hammersmith, including the composer Benjamin Britten and his companion, the tenor Peter Pears. In 1946 he gave the first performance of the revised version of Britten’s Piano Concerto, and he was often to accompany Pears when Britten was unwell or too engaged in composition. Britten seems to have encouraged his young friend’s talent for composition: Mewton-Wood wrote the music for at least two

films, as well as a piano trio, the score for which seems to have disappeared. After the pianist’s death Britten wrote his third Canticle – Still falls the rain – in his memory.

Mewton-Wood was also recognised and encouraged by Arthur Bliss, who so admired the young pianist’s performance of his Piano Concerto that he wrote a sonata especially for him to perform at Michael Tippett’s St Ives Festival in 1952 – the only occasion on which I heard the pianist ‘live’. He sailed through that work with apparent ease, though in the green room he later confessed that it was ‘bloody difficult’. He also accompanied Peter Pears in a recital of English lieder, including Tippett’s setting of Sidney Keyes’ The heart’s assurance, which I have never heard excelled.

Noel Mewton-Wood’s death was tragic. When his lover, William Fedrick, complained of stomach pains, Mewton-Wood declined to take his complaints seriously and waited some days before calling a doctor. Fedrick was taken to hospital but died on the operating table and Mewton-Wood became obsessed with the idea that he was to blame for the death. After five days of psychiatric treatment, he was found dead in his music room: he had swallowed cyanide. There is no biography, but the Australian novelist Sonia Orchard spoke to many of his friends, collecting material for her first novel, TheVirtuoso, which has been considered a reliable portrait of the young artist who might, had he lived, be by now one of the world’s most renowned pianists.

The ‘geriatric prodigy’

Paul Cooke reviews the life and work of Havergal Brian

Recognised by Guinness World Records as ‘the world’s largest symphony’, the Gothic Symphony casts an enormous shadow over the life and works of its composer, Havergal Brian, the 50th anniversary of whose death we are marking this month. Not only is it longer than Mahler’s Third — the 2011 recording conducted by Martyn Brabbins comes in at 106 minutes — but it calls for more massive forces than Mahler’s Eighth: instrumentally, there are 82 strings, 32 winds, 24 brass, four timpani, 18 percussionists, four keyboards, four harps, four brass bands and organ; vocally, four soloists, two choirs and a children’s choir. Composed between 1919 and 1927, it received its first professional performance in 1966 and its first recording in 1991.

But there is much more to Brian than this comparatively early work. During a creative life of 80 years, he wrote another 31 symphonies, 20 of them after 1958, by which time he had reached the age of 82 and had moved into a council flat on England’s south coast. No wonder that he was affectionately referred to as a ‘geriatric prodigy’ by his friend and fellow composer Robert Simpson who, as a BBC producer, was able to have every symphony broadcast in the years between 1954 and 1979.

Brian (born William — he took on Havergal as a tribute to a family of hymn writers) was born into a working-class family in Dresden, Staffordshire. His parents sang in a choir and Brian sang and played the organ in local churches; as a composer, however, like Elgar, whose example he was inspired by, he was largely self-taught and was much influenced by brass bands.

Despite being regarded as displaying ‘courage and fortitude in the face of almost total neglect’, he was well-known as a composer in the years before World War I. Part-songs and choral works were performed at festivals, and orchestral works were performed at Prom concerts: both his overture

For valour and his English suite no 1 featured in concerts in 1907 (the Staffordshire Sentinel wrote that ‘Mr Brian has the happy distinction of waking up this morning to find himself famous’), and another overture, Doctor Merryheart, was performed in 1913.

Such comparative fame was not to last, however. The collapse of his first marriage, the loss of his wealthy patron, and a move to London meant poverty and thoughts of suicide: he wrote to his close friend Granville Bantock in 1914 that ‘I am on the scrag end of R’s last £5 & don’t know where the next £1 is to come from…’. He gained employment as music copyist, writer, and editor, while labouring over the comic opera The tigers (written between 1916 and 1918, and orchestrated between 1918 and 1930) and the Gothic Symphony.

Before a brief period of silence between 1944 and 1948, he wrote four more symphonies, reminiscent for the critic Adrian Corleonis of William Blake’s prophetic books, ‘in which terrifying presences and cosmic portents — baleful and beautiful — are visited upon the Earth, but without resolution, as movements or entire works may not so much end as simply stop or disintegrate’. I suspect Brian, who set to music a number of Blake poems, would appreciate the image. After 1948, his many symphonies tended to be much shorter, with development and exposition increasingly telescoped; at the same time, he maintained large orchestral forces, allowing for a great variety of textures and sonorities: a man forever experimenting with the most traditional of forms.

Anoesis - Just playing in the moment

Virginia Ginnane

‘Bird’ coined the phrase back in the day: “Master your instrument, master the music, then forget all the bulls**t and just play.” Easy for the sax legend Charlie Parker to say, but his aphorism has given wings to an emerging Sydney jazz band, Anoesis. “Just play and leave cognition at the door” is their moniker’s rough translation. “You have to learn the music, and then forget it,” explains bass player Tomas McKeever Ford. “That’s a good way of thinking about the improvisation process … leave the musician’s ego aside … be in the moment of the performance, allow musicians and audience to be involved in the collective music-making.”

Anoesis: 2022 Fine Music Artists in Residence Tomas has been making music with his band members Greg Stopic (alto saxophone, Alistair Johnston (tenor saxophone and Eitan Muir (electric guitar since early 2017 when they were studying music at UNSW. Drummer Ryu Kodama joined Anoesis in 2019 not long after the band was awarded the ‘Best Band’ runner-up in a 13-country line-up at the Bucharest International Jazz competition. “Bucharest broadened us personally and musically, leading to all kinds of plans for the future. And then it all stopped,” he says of the pandemic’s music freeze.

After two years of rolling lockdowns, the Jazz Artist in Residence program created the right impetus. “We’ve been very fortunate to receive this to kickstart performing again,” says Kodama.

“I think a lot of people don’t realise how much work independent artists must do to produce and release material. Never mind being creative and honing your craft! So for us as emerging artists, to have this help from Fine Music Sydney to promote our work is just wonderful. So, we’re very, very grateful to have had this residency.”

Anoesis: Album launch

The Artist in Residence program provided recording of their second album, Dancing Waters, in the Founders Studio. It is a showcase of their unique sound and the richness of their composition. “I’d like to think that when you hear our music, it can be identified as original,” says Tomas. “I think part of our story is really about making the music our own as much as possible.”

All the tracks are written by the band, with Greg the most prolific composer penning four of the eight tracks. Tomas started writing the title track during a visit to Queensland’s Purling Brook falls, in Springbrook National Park. Its indigenous name Gwongorella in the local Yugambeh language, translates as ‘Dancing waters’. Inspired by the beauty of this ancient heritage site with its waterfalls tumbling down the canyon, Tomas fleshed out the baseline and chords and took it to the group.

“The process for developing music within the band is democratic,” says Tomas, “and the composer of a particular piece is almost always very open to try things differently, so often there can be quite a bit of workshopping. We all have an equal say in how that composition evolves. Pretty much everything that comes in, we really work on and really love.”

It was a group decision for Dancing Waters to become the title track. Along with Alistair’s piece Regenerates, and other original compositions, the album reflects a theme of ‘the beauty of our country and the experiences that we have in these places that are just otherworldly. But also, to

recognise and acknowledge the very dark colonial history that this country still hasn’t properly addressed, as well as the climate disaster that we seem to be entering.’

Then there are the songs drawing on the search for infinite space.

American jazz influences

With their sound centred in contemporary or modern jazz, it is also influenced by European folk, Middle Eastern jazz and folk music, classical music, rock, Western African styles, “and whatever else” says Tomas, including the deep spirit of the golden eras of American jazz, from the 30s through the 60s.

For the album launch on Thursday 17 November at Johnston Street Jazz, Anoesis will be performing songs from the album plus the debut of a lot of new material debut. “This will hopefully allow listeners to experience the concept that we’ve put together with this album while also demonstrating what else we have and continue to work on.” In the moment, on the night.

Daniel Barenboim at 80

Daniel Barenboim will turn 80 this month. Born in Argentina to two professional musicians, he was immersed in music from the start, and began his musical career as a child prodigy. Moving with his family to Israel when he was ten years old, Barenboim was soon taking conducting lessons in Salzburg and composition lessons in Paris.

As one of the few musicians with an international career combining both performing and conducting, Barenboim gave his first public performance at the age of seven, with his international debut following at the age of ten. His first concert as a conductor was several years later in 1966 with the English Chamber Orchestra, and he conducted his first opera at the Edinburgh Festival in 1973. Over the years, Barenboim has held conducting and musical directorship posts with many eminent international orchestras including the Berlin State Opera, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and La Scala in Milan. The recipient of numerous awards, he received an honorary knighthood in 2011.

Marrying cellist Jacqueline du Pré in 1967, the pair became known for their recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto. During the period when a classical musician could attain the profile of a superstar, both were prominent members of the mainstream cultural life of the ‘60s. After du Pré’s death in 1987, Barenboim married pianist Elena Bashkirova with whom he had two sons.

In both performing and conducting, Barenboim maintained a musical style that owed little to the authentic performance movement, eschewing musicological studies and focusing on other twentieth practices such as rejecting composer

metronome marks and finding the tempo from within the music itself. He also used the sustaining pedal of the piano in his recording of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, producing a very different sound to that of performers following the directives of more authentically based interpretations.

Illustrating his work as a thinker as well as a musician, Barenboim joined with scholar Edward Said to form the Barenboim-Said Academy that opened in 2016 in Berlin, aiming to create an institution in which students from both Israel and the Arab world could study music and the humanities. The Academy was complementary to the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra that he also formed with Said, which allows musicians from the Arab nations and Israel to study and perform together.

Barenboim took a leading role in the return of classical music to public life after COVID, working with flautist Emmanuel Pahud to curate the digital music festival Distance / Intimacy in 2020. Focusing on new music, the festival aimed to engage artistically with the pandemic and invited listeners to financially support arts and culture during what had proved to be a very difficult time for music.

Though still with an interest in projects located all over the world, Barenboim announced in October this year that he was reducing his workload due to health concerns. Having spent a lifetime in music, both taking inspiration from it and inspiring others’ dedication to it, he said, “What is, ultimately, perhaps the most difficult lesson for the human being – learning to live with discipline yet with passion, with freedom yet with order – is evident in any single phrase of music.”

High Five - Tyler Cooney

Barry O’Sullivan talks with the Brisbane-based guitarist

Tyler Cooney performs many different styles with a wide range of dynamic capabilities adaptable to any musical environment. Having completed a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance (Guitar), he is currently finishing his Master of Music Studies degree at the Griffith University’s Queensland Conservatorium at South Bank in Brisbane. Tyler has recorded and released numerous recordings with a variety of groups across many genres and toured Australia and New Zealand.

When did jazz music first enter your life and which artists influenced your style?

Jazz first entered my life in 2014 when I started at the Jazz Music Institute in Brisbane. I hadn’t listened to jazz before that, but a few of my friends were planning on enrolling, so I did the same and have since ended up falling in love with it. My teacher, Ben Hauptmann, introduced me to Full House and Boss Guitar by Wes Montgomery. Both albums became hugely influential to my style. In 2019/2022, I played both albums in full in a tribute to Wes at both JMI Live and the Brisbane Jazz Club.

What are your current musical projects?

My current musical project is called Modern Ideal. This recording is a guitar trio album of original contemporary jazz compositions focusing on interaction, strong composition, intensity, and sensitivity in each player’s interpretation of the material. It was recorded at Hunting Ground Studios in Brisbane in early 2022 with Tim Firth (drums) and Nick Quigley (bass). I recently completed an Australian tour promoting the album. I am also a part of several other projects, one of which is called Headland, with fellow Brisbane guitarist Joe Rabjohns. We play a mixture of progressive acoustic guitar music that has jazz, country, folk, and Americana influences.

Tell us about some of the challenges that have confronted you so far and how you have overcome them.

One of the challenges I’ve been dealing with recently is being over-committed to my music. Being committed is not a bad thing, but when music and everything else that goes along with it is all you do in life, you can start to get burned out, which happened to me. I’ve come to appreciate having activities like bouldering, playing golf, and going to the gym. These act as an escape from my musical commitments. I think it’s important to take a step back at times, whether that be from music, certain foods, or seeing your partner all day every day, because more often than not you’ll come back to that thing with a renewed sense of love for it and you’ll be that much more invested.

What are your favourite guitars and why and how do you select which one to play?

In all honesty, I love playing just about any guitar. Each has a different feeling and can suggest different things to you. David Gilmore (Pink Floyd) once said that he wrote Wish You Were Here on the guitar that had gifted him the tune because it felt like it came from the feeling and sound of the instrument. I have several guitars, but my main axe is a Greco SA-700, which is a copy of a Gibson 335. It’s a high-quality lawsuit model (lawsuit, as they were sued, for it is too close of a replica to the real thing) made in Japan in 1978 in the famous Fujigen factory. I also regularly play a cream Telecaster with black pickguard when I want a blues/rock/ different vibe. I play a 7-string guitar in the band Monstera, an indie pop band, to help me reach a lower range for the heavy, low riffs. I also have several acoustic nylon and steel string guitars that I play when the occasion demands.

You are home alone on a Sunday night. What music would you choose to listen to and why? It could be anything from Meshuggah, James Muller, Frank Sinatra, Barney Mcall, myself (haha), Peter Bernstein, John Scofield, and the list goes on… I have a wide musical tastes. Currently, I have been checking out a new John Scofield album John Scofield Solo. If I am working out at the gym, it’s Meshuggah. If I am cooking dinner and drinking wine, it’s Sinatra. Am I digging into something of mine and constructively critiquing it? I’m listening to myself! Am I listening to James Muller for the millionth time? Quite possibly!

A Jazz Hour is broadcast on Fridays at midday. https://tylercooney.bandcamp.com/

The first superstar DJ

Lyndon Pike profiles William Grimshaw

In 1909, an event took place in Manchester’s Heaton Park heralding the first open air festival put on by what we would now consider a superstar DJ. William Grimshaw was a local Manchester store owner who ran a gramophone shop, which also sold bicycles, located on Bury New Road in Prestwich. After attending a performance by the mighty Enrico Caruso at the Manchester Free Trade Hall, Grimshaw decided it was his calling to share the experience with those who could not be there in person.

He took his massive gramophone with a giant horn to Heaton Park and played the Caruso in the open air. In the words of William Grimshaw’s great granddaughter, Susan Cahal, “The concerts gave the public the experience of listening to a variety of classical music in a relaxed and informal setting which demonstrated that the music was available for everyone to enjoy and not just those who could afford to pay to listen. For many people it would have been the first opportunity to appreciate being able to listen to the music.”

Susan Cahal went on to explain “To transport the gramophone to the park on a Sunday afternoon he hired a horse drawn milk float from the Co-op, but he had to wait until the milk round had been completed on a Sunday morning before he could use the float. He told Manchester Corporation in 1907 that an extra-large horn would enable crowds of people who could not afford a machine of their own to hear in the open air a wide range of music which was becoming available on records.” She adds: “The Parks Committee paid him the equivalent of £1.15 in today’s terms for each concert. They were delighted to discover that the concerts were attracting listeners in exceptionally large numbers.”

“In the concert season of 1909 he held 37 concerts,” she says. “His greatest success was on Sunday 19th September of that year. The concert on that date drew crowds of 40,000 and included in the crowd was Enrico Caruso who had travelled from Manchester, where he was staying at the Midland Hotel, to hear the concert. He was so pleased with the concert that he wrote to William saying he had been in the audience and sent him a signed caricature of himself.”

The papers at the time wrote that it was the ‘largest concert in the world’, with the Prestwich and Heaton Park Guardian reporting that the audience “remained as if spellbound from the moment of arrival to the close of the programme, which, it is hardly necessary to say, was intensely enjoyed.”

Once Grimshaw, aka the ‘Gramophone King’, cleared the idea of playing his music with the council, he set about finding the best way to allow the sound to travel from the bandstand.

“Grimshaw managed to get a modifier horn so that people could hear the music further away, and it worked well,” said Dr Carole O’Reilly, senior lecturer in media and cultural studies on the University of Salford. “Figures estimate that around 40,000 people came to listen to it. The trains were in chaos because so many people went to use public transport at the same time.”

In 2018 The BBC’s Great British Railway Journeys, hosted by Michael Portillo visited the park and met with Dr Carole O’Reilly to discuss the cultural phenomenon that William Grimshaw created. You can view that chat here via SBS On-Demand.

Live at Johnston St. Jazz Michael Griffin Octet

Assembling a group of first-call musicians for an Octet to play Bebop is no mean feat. Michael Griffin’s straight-ahead take on jazz is always an uncomplicated delight, where he primarily delivers his compositions interspersed with the occasional pieces from Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk combined with each of the musicians bringing their skills to the fore. On this occasion, Griffin’s alto saxophone was sparkling. Brimming with dynamics without showing off, Griffin was full of action but never seemed overly busy. His old favorites, Unexpected Greeting, Dreaming of the Union Jack, and Relaxin’ at St Vincent’s were given a new outing, with an extension of their previous recording confines allowing the music to stretch and breathe those compositions into a new life.

The extended piano improvisations of John Harkins sparkled with humour, and the periods of freedom from Jacob Graham on bass and Andrew Dickeson on drums developed sections with a powerful swinging groove. There were also moments of quiet reflection from Griffin on alto in his composition Lockdown Solitude with some notably beautiful trumpet playing from Lachlan Mackenzie and Craig Walters on tenor, delivering added depth and texture. Watching improvisers create is always fascinating and this Octet created something very special, their frequent smiles demonstrating how much they were enjoying their musical company. However, it was the audience who were the lucky ones. That this large group of musicians managed to keep it engaging, surprising, and fulfilling for a full seventy-five minutes is an outstanding tribute to them, their discipline, and their co-operation at the moment.

Barry O’Sullivan reviews a live performance led by Michael Griffin, a former 2MBS Fine Music Sydney artist in residence.

FOUNDERS’ STUDIO HIRE

Illustration by Lyndon Pike

Are you a musician looking to record an audition for an application, or are you wanting to record your own music?

have a studio ready for you to record in.

Volunteer Spotlight Stephen Gard

Stephen Gard’s career as a broadcaster began at the age of four, when he climbed inside his family’s enormous AWA console radio to announce dance tunes through the speaker grille. This first on-air shift was cut short when he spotted a Huntsman spider, but his fascination with radio continued.

Stephen spent much of his youth exploring the spectrum of the magic spark. At one end of the dial, he found the mysterious, repeated, piping notes radiated by the Non-Directional Beacon at Kingsford Smith Airport. In time, this led him to a close encounter with Amateur Radio (VK2ESG). At the other end of the dial, he discovered the ABC Children’s Hour, which led to his becoming an Argonaut (Alopecia 17).

But it was the music booming from that mighty speaker that kept the young Gard enthralled. Not to mention the drama, the humour, the talks, the snappy gabble of the commercial disc jockey, and the sober tones of the National Broadcaster. Just as intriguing were those faint and distant voices descending after dark in the ionosphere to haunt the static-busy spaces between stations.

Little wonder then, that thirty-seven years later, Stephen eagerly approached his first close encounter with a live microphone in a broadcasting studio. The community station in Bowral had invited volunteers, so Stephen offered to present an hour of classical music and an hour of jazz every Sunday afternoon. His offer was accepted, the training course consisting of being shown which buttons to press by a presenter who was anxious to get away. After so auspicious a beginning, it is little wonder that, by the end of the following month, Gard had been appointed Station Coordinator of 2WKT-FM Bowral.

Stephen brought a wealth of broadcasting talent and savoir-faire to this community station. There was his early apprenticeship with AWA, his mastery of Morse code, and his love of most kinds of music. Youthful study at the piano with a despairing teacher had contributed some cultural finesse,

as had several years playing guitar in a garage band with rowdy friends. Stephen had written scripts and composed incidental music for theatre and film. He had acted in several plays and reviews. He had been a primary school teacher, and married a colleague.

His stay at 2WKT was brief – just three years, but enough to have participated in every aspect of broadcasting: presenting, programming, concert recording, editing, promo writing, interviewing, sponsorship sales, recruitment, and training. Also, technical issues. On one occasion, when a windstorm misaligned the station antenna and put 2WKT offair, Stephen found himself climbing a 60-foot tower on Mount Gibraltar, a shifting spanner gripped in his teeth like a piratical cutlass. He then climbed down and presented the breakfast session.

All this should have been quite enough broadcasting for anyone, yet another three decades later, Stephen Gard contacted 2MBS-FM and volunteered to present a program of classical music.

His offer was accepted.

CD REVIEWS

Stuart Greenbaum: A Trillion Miles of Darkness David Griffiths, clarinet; Timothy Young, piano; Ken Murray, guitar. ABC Classics ABCL0025D

Modern Ideal Tyler Cooney Independent Bandcamp

This album brings us the complete music for clarinet by Stuart Greenbaum, and David Griffiths’ wonderful playing captures perfectly the intense melancholy found in Greenbaum’s music. The major work of the CD, the Sonata: A trillion miles of darkness, takes the listener into Greenbaum’s cerebral home of outer space. The movements, titled Desolate, Celestial and Alone, until the End of the World, take us to a lonely corner of the solar system, a point destined to forever drift alone. Greenbaum’s harmonic language is tinged with modern jazz idioms and a rhythmic direction coloured by syncopation that is at once

catchy and surprising. Perhaps the perfect example is the first of Three Places for a New Millennium, In Orbit, which brings us a magnificent melancholy, at once embracing and deeply poignant. The version of Greenbaum’s Cloud Eight for clarinet and guitar uses the clarinet’s tone colour to evoke the emotional ambiguity of ‘not being on cloud nine’ quite exquisitely. This superbly performed album shows us that the classical music of today can still wrench the heart and excite the mind.

– James Nightingale

Tyler Cooney’s second release generally follows the template set down in his previous recording Eastern River but this time ably supported on several tracks by the rhythm section of Nick Quigley on double bass and Tim Firth on drums. Overall, the group’s sound is warm and lush. On guitar, Cooney’s tone is a beautiful thing echoing the tones of his early guitar heroes but with his distinctive voice. Cooney is the prolific composer of the nine tracks, all of which are strong and fit well together with the material, staying comfortably within the mainstream jazz catalogue. The trio plays with a joyful abandon that one wishes there was more of in jazz these days, harking back

to the days of Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian, when it was played for pure entertainment. But don’t be misled! Modern Ideal has its place in today’s jazz scene and its future. Cooney’s guitar work is the key ingredient here with his tone, touch, and groove on electric and acoustic just right. He has a unique way of exploring a melody, offering us a part of himself through his music. Stand-out tracks Hip Replacement Blues, Wood Glue, and Villa Villain offer a glimpse into his musical personality, giving the listener the impression that Cooney has chosen these tracks just for you.

Fools Rush In Rebekka Neville Independent www.rebekkaneville.com

An accomplished vocalist and songwriter, Rebekka Neville has created a recording evoking memories of much-loved past jazz performances by Vince Jones that have blended with memories of the enjoyment of being in the natural outdoor surroundings of the Blue Mountains and the Dandenong Ranges. Engaging a stellar rhythm section of Matt McMahon (piano), Craig Scott (bass), and Toby Hall (drums), and blending them with some equally brilliant guest musicians on guitar, trumpet, and saxophones, Neville delivers four time-smoothed chestnuts, East of the Sun, The More I See You, Fools Rush In and I’ve Got the World on a String with a selection of her original compositions. All are skillfully delivered with enough feeling to

fully expose the heart and soul within those works in a wondrous way. Paul Mitchell Brown’s guitar and arrangement skills easily carry the music back to those far-off memories, adding depth and breadth. When they are combined with the saxophones of Chris O’Dea and Nathan Henshaw plus Simon Ferenci’s trumpet, they sweeten the deal. The four remaining original compositions by the vocalist are a bonus. The album is an extremely pleasant vocal collection and a lovely tribute to jazz tradition that will most surely appeal to the many fans of her frequent live performances.

Johanna Selleck: Becoming

Merlyn Quaife, soprano; Dean Sky-Lucas, countertenor; Jerzy Kozlowski, bass; Adam Simmons, shakuhachi; Lynette Rayner, violin; Zachary Johnston, violin; Barbara Hornung, viola; Caerwen Martin, cello Move Records MCD 629

Johanna Selleck is a composer, flautist and musicologist. She studied composition at the University of Melbourne with Brenton Broadstock, gaining a PhD and is now in turn teaching composition there. Belonging is a substantial and, I believe, significant song cycle, in seven sections and lasting about an hour. Like many of Selleck’s compositions, it explores the idea of ‘connectedness’ between humanity and environment, setting to music haiku which depict universal and personal aspects of the seasons in a cycle of birth, death and renewal. The first haiku, setting the scene in Port Fairy in Spring, is by the

composer herself: Mackerel sky / The sleepy fishing village / awakens music. Sections devoted to the seasons are interspersed with a shakuhachi cadenza and followed by an Interlude for strings and a Finale. In Spring, a butterfly is characterised by the fluttering flute-like sounds of the shakuhachi; in Autumn the effects of the wind can be heard in the downward spiral of squiggly string phrases; in Finale Jerzy Kozlowski’s guttural bass voice, reminiscent of Tuvan throat-singing, conveys a mourner’s grief. A moving listening experience.

The Vampire Master tells Lord Ruthven that he will die if he fails to kill three virgin brides in the next 24 hours. He hides in a cave, to be discovered by Berkley, who stabs him. On trying to drag the injured Ruthven into the moonlight, Aubry realises that Ruthven is a vampire, but revealing what he knows will lead to Aubry becoming a vampire himself. Nevertheless, Aubry tries to encourage the innocent villagers to save themselves without endangering himself, and eventually resolves to do the honourable thing by revealing Ruthven’s true nature, at the expense of his own fate. His decision comes as the 24 hours of his curse come to an end and, for his comeuppance, Ruthven is consumed by lightning and falls into Hell. Aubry is free to wed his love Malwina, and the citizens can rejoice.

Decca 410 175-2 2:27

Mefistofole, having made a defiant boast to God that he can break a soul, pursues Faust and, in exchange for supernatural aid, buys his soul. They sign a pact and are borne away on Mefistofele’s cloak. While Mefistofele courts Martha, Faust induces Margherita to give her mother a sleeping draught so that she can meet Faust that night. Mefistofele transports Faust to a satanic orgy in the wild Brocken in the Harz Mountains. Here Faust is shown a vision of Margherita in prison, accused of the murder of her mother and child. Mefistofele and Faust visit her. She refuses to flee with Faust and dies in his arms. Mefistofele then takes Faust to ancient Thessaly where he

meets Helen of Troy. He succumbs to her ravishing beauty. Finally, old and weary, Faust is seen huddled in his study with Mefistofele demanding his price. Faust, clutching his Bible, prays to God for mercy. The heavenly choir proclaims his salvation and Mefistofele's defeat.

Prepared by Angela Cockburn Sullivan, A. Cox and Box. Operetta in one scene. Libretto by W.S. Gilbert. First performed, London, 1867.

BOUNCER: Donald Maxwell, bass COX: Neil Davies, bar BOX: James Gilchrist, ten BBC NO of Wales/Richard Hickox. Chandos CHAN 10321 36

Retired military man, Sergeant Bouncer, has double-let an apartment to both James John Cox, a hatter, who works days, and John James Box, a printer, who works nights. Bouncer swaps over their personal belongings in the brief gap when neither man is home, so neither knows about the other, although they sometimes pass on the stairs, and Cox is suspicious because the room often reeks of tobacco and he wonders why his groceries keep disappearing.

Once Cox has left for work, Bouncer rearranges everything before Box arrives, settles in and sets his dinner to cook while he takes a nap. Cox has scored an unexpected day off, arrives home, removes what he takes for Bouncer's food and puts his own meal on to cook. There's a flurry of farcical action as each man repeatedly discards the other's food, before the two men suddenly come face to face. After some discussion they agree that this is all Bouncer's fault and make friends with each other.

As they chat, they discover that Cox's fiancée, Penelope Anne, whom he'd rather like to ditch, also happens to be Box's ex-fiancée, whom he has already ditched by faking his suicide. They gamble to decide who should NOT get the girl, but both men use loaded dice. A series of contradictory letters arrive which resolve to show Penelope Anne had married someone else, a Mr. Knox. Cox and Box decide they must be long-lost brothers and, as such, they agree to share the apartment.

The sorcerer. Operetta in two acts. Libretto by W.S. Gilbert. First performed London, 1817.

D’Oyly Carte Opera Ch; Royal PO/Isidore Godfrey.

Decca 436 807-2 1:25

Alexis, the son of the Sir Marmaduke Pointdextre, is betrothed to the aristocratic Aline Sangazure. Villagers are celebrating but Constance Partlet is unhappy because she is in love with the local vicar, Dr. Daley, while he believes he is unlucky in love. Despite Mrs. Partlet's attempts at matchmaking, the middleaged Dr. Daly seems unable to believe that a young girl like Constance would be interested in him. The widower, Sir Marmaduke, and Aline’s widowed mother, Lady Sangazure, are concealing long-held feelings for each other. Alexis tells Aline of his plans to implement his principle that love should unite all classes and ranks. He has invited a representative from a respectable London firm of family sorcerers to the celebrations. The sorcerer, John Wellington Wells, assisted by sprites, fiends, imps, demons, ghosts and other fearsome magical beings, prepares a love potion, sufficient to affect the entire village, except that it must have no effect on married people. The potion is added to the teapot at the wedding feast. Everyone except Alexis, Aline and Wells drink it. Everyone else experiences hallucinations and all fall unconscious. At midnight when the villagers awake, all fall in love with the first person of the opposite sex whom they see. Most matches are highly unsuitable. Wells regrets the results of his magic when the fearsome Lady Sangazure fixes on him as the object of her affections. Alexis thinks that he and Aline should also drink the potion as a test of their love. Aline yields to his persuasion, drinks the potion and, on waking, meets Dr. Daly and falls in love with him. Alexis desperately appeals to Wells to reverse the effects but this means that either Alexis or Wells should give up his life to the Evil One. Wells, resignedly, bids farewell and is swallowed up by the underworld in a burst of flames. The spell is broken and the villagers pair off according to their true feelings, celebrating with another feast.

Decca 430 372-2 1:35

The singer Emilia Marty intervenes in a legal case concerning a disputed 100-year-old will. One of the parties to the will, Albert Gregor, is the descendant of the illegitimate son of a former Baron Prus; the other is the present baron. Emilia¹s interest is not so much in the document itself as in even more ancient papers with it. She eventually reveals that her real name is Elina Makropulos, born in 1575, daughter of a royal physician who had tried out an elixir on her which prolonged her life. She has lived for over 300 years, under various names, all with the initial E.M., and was the mother of Albert Gregor¹s ancestor. Feeling herself growing old, she is trying to find the formula to renew her life span but, when it is found, she decides she is tired of life and gives the document to the daughter of a clerk in the lawyer¹s office, who burns it as Marty dies.

Mephistopheles offers him youth in return for his soul, tempting him with a vision of beautiful Marguerite. Faust drinks the potion and is transformed into a handsome young knight. Faust and Marguerite fall passionately in love. Valentin returns from the wars to find his sister betrayed and deserted by Faust.

He fights a duel with Faust and is slain. Faust and Mephistopheles visit Marguerite in prison, facing death for killing the child whom Faust has fathered. She recognises Mephistopheles as the devil and implores God for mercy. Angels gently bear her heavenward, Faust falls in prayer and Mephistopheles finds his way barred by an archangel.

Vitellia, daughter of an Emperor, is in love with Emperor Tito, even though his father murdered hers. Enraged that he does not respond, she persuades his best friend Sesto, who is in love with her, to murder Tito and share the throne with her. He sets fire to the Roman Capitol and in the confusion, rumours of Tito’s death spread. A conspirator is arrested, implicates Sesto who refuses to implicate Vitellia and is condemned to death in the Colosseum. Tito cannot bring himself to sign his friend’s death warrant, and is about to pardon Sesto, when Vitellia confesses. Tito pardons her as well, displaying his famous clemency.
