SUSAN GRAHAM SINGS MAHLER LOVE AND NATURE EXPLORED BY NICKY GLUCH with this lower tessitura too often see their playing female villains or even men. Mahler’s natural philosophy saw him perceive them in a different light. In the words of Graham, to Mahler mezzos ‘were of the earth’.

Graham’s rich and nuanced tone makes her an excellent Mahler interpreter. She knows how to carry the weight of the psychology without ever losing touch with the making of music. However, it took her some years to learn to appreciate his work. ‘When I was younger,’ Graham recounts, ‘Mahler seemed like something high-minded, lofty and difficult to understand. I was very intimidated by it. I grew to enjoy the symphonies first, and then the vocal music. I started to understand how he was describing humanity and his own, sometimes painful, existence.’ This notion holds so true for the Third Symphony where Mahler brings his own love story to the drama.

”

… what language can utter heavenly love more powerfully and forcefully than music itself?

”

Susan Graham The themes of love and nature are timeless and yet, in their depiction, are so indicative of the time in which a work is created. Mahler’s Third Symphony could have been written at no other time in history or period of his life. In 90 minutes, Mahler bridges centuries and musical styles. The natural splendour of the 19th Century meets the psychological fascination of the 20th. From a Romantic stance, Mahler provides a Symphony and from a Modernist stance he challenges its form. To love, he brings his own tale and, to nature, he brings a tumultuous fascination. Into the midst of this he places a powerful aria; a woman’s voice calling on man to take heed.

In July, the Sydney Symphony will perform this triumphant work. Conductor David Robertson will be joined by his long-time collaborator mezzo-soprano, Susan Graham. Together they should deliver a work which, in Graham’s 2

July 2017

fineMusic 102.5

words, will be ‘fresh, honest and powerful with nothing that is extraneous or superficial: a piece which, to put it simply, is just real’.

The Sydney Symphony has quite a romance with Mahler. Edo de Waart placed him front and centre during his tenure with the orchestra and under the helm of Vladimir Ashkenazy, the orchestra completed a Mahler cycle.

Last year, David Robertson brought the Resurrection Symphony to Sydney audiences.

His conducting and interpretation was lauded for the way he handled both the music and the sentiment. It is fitting, then, that this year he should follow with the Third. Robertson’s choice of Susan Graham as the soloist is testament to their history. In 2012, they performed the Third Symphony together in St. Louis and in 2014 delved into the world of Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth). Mahler’s Symphony is a treat for a mezzo-soprano. Roles for women

At the time the Symphony was written, Mahler was involved in a love affair with soprano Anna von Mildenburg. She was, however, just one of the women with whom he shared his work. Far outlasting his relationship with von Mildenburg was Mahler’s relationship with Natalie Bauer-Lechner. The two were friends between the end of Bauer-Lechner’s marriage in 1890 and Mahler’s marriage to Alma in 1902. For history’s sake, BauerLechner plays a pivotal role. With her trained ear, she was a person with whom Mahler could share his work. She also kept detailed diaries in which can be found a preview of the structure and content of Mahler’s Third Symphony. Bauer-Lechner was a viola player; thus it can be, riskily, suggested that Mahler’s choice of a mezzo-soprano soloist may have been influenced by their relationship (the viola playing in the mezzo range). Perhaps he wished to give a ‘voice’ to this friend and confidante. Perhaps his love for her transcended that of his passionate affairs.

What, then, does love mean in the context of Mahler’s Symphony? It helps to understand that when Mahler began composing his Third Symphony in 1893, he was yet to complete his mighty Second. The two works thus form a fascinating counterpoint to each

other. Whilst the Second, the Resurrection, explores themes of death, the Third speaks of life. Both, however, take texts from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, a collection of children’s folk poems, transforming them into serious, contemplative music.

Mahler, it seems, was fascinated with children and what they could reveal to the world. When he first sketched the program for this Third Symphony, its final movement was to be called ‘What the Child tells me’. Though Mahler decided to drop the movement from that work, its themes were later to appear in his Fourth Symphony. The question, of course, is why did Mahler, at this stage a childless bachelor, see children as being so embodying of his ideals?

The answer, perhaps, lies in the two ideas he was trying to bridge. When, in 1915, Richard Strauss would write An Alpine Symphony he wished to depict the majesty of nature and the relationship which one man can have with its splendour.

Mahler, on the other had, takes nature and turns it in to a religious philosophy. It is that which reveals and that which ultimately triumphs. Love, philosophically, can play a similar role. It is a force which transforms the individual and brings him/her in harmony with another. Children, then, are a reminder of nature symbolising renewal and rebirth.

Love, as Mahler defines it, is the force which is meant to bring them forth. Thus the Third Symphony is mapped out. In the first movement Pan brings his tale of summer and virility. In the second and third, flora and fauna bring their message to the fore. In the fourth, as mentioned, a woman sings of the risk for man and, in the fifth, children sing the angels’ warning. The sixth movement sees the orchestra stand alone. As the conductor Bruno Walter said, “In the last movement, words are stilled, for what language can utter heavenly love more powerfully and forcefully than music itself?”. Love, in its essence, is brought to the fore.

If love be the theme which binds the symphony, then it seems fair to ask Susan Graham if she has a favourite classical love song. Graham’s answer is quite definitive: À Chloris by Reynaldo Hahn. She performed this work at an aid concert for the rebuilding of a music school after the Haiti earthquake. At the event, Graham spoke of the power of music.

“Music”, she said, “can serve as a restorative resuscitation into a reminder of what is important, what has order, discipline, expression and what has meaning in [people’s] lives.”

Mahler would clearly agree. His vision for music was that of a humanist. He captured and explored the essence of Man from the

lens of the world in which he lived. Mahler saw German culture as important. He took the texts from German poems and legends and used them to construct an order in his music. Nature he saw as the discipline of humanity and love as the mode of expression.

How fortunate that he was to be working in a period where Romanticism, that wondrous exploration of emotion and nature, was still in vogue but in which Modernism, with its emphasis on industry and nationalism, was beginning to emerge.

To bridge these opposing paradigms, Mahler used the human voice. In answering how she would characterise Mahler’s relationship with the voice, Graham says, ‘the mood that he creates musically comes right out of the text’ yet, that said, when singing in a symphony one has to become another instrument. The text, then, drives the music but the music must drive the performance. Graham describes the wonder of singing within an orchestral texture. “There is nothing more thrilling,” she says, “than sitting in the middle of a Mahler orchestra, being surrounded by that torrent of sound and then to get to slide my line right in the middle of it.”

An unanswered question remains as to the place love and nature hold in the modern world. If the current van Gogh exhibition is any indicator, it would seem that a fascination with nature has been restored in the modern world.

Perhaps we look at the pictures with nostalgia, thinking back on a time when nature was more abundant. Perhaps we look on the pictures with fear, dreading what might happen if we don’t take care of the world. Either of those views would suit a listening of a Mahler symphony

for Mahler’s plea was for Man to understand his limitations. What then to love? It would be inaccurate to think of Mahler as a proponent of devoted love. That disregard, perhaps, we can leave in his era. The idea, though, that love should be transformative and bring forth good and beauty is something that we can grasp. In this cruel age, Man must understand that his limitation is destruction. It is time to restore a value in creation.

Love and nature, children and Pan: What joy the Sydney Symphony must have in bringing forth such music. With David Robertson at the helm and Susan Graham to interpret the words, the performance is sure to be as profound as it will be beautiful. Mahler may not have been a perfect man but the lessons he gave to the world should be cherished. Through synthesis he produced something unique; music of his time and utterly timeless.

CLASSICAL MUSIC EXPLORED

MICHAEL MORTON-EVANS BEGINS A NEW SERIES with Austrian and Germany, we’ll move on to Italy, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, ending with the United States of America.

The term ‘classical’ music as it is known today wasn’t in use before the beginning of the 19th century. It was coined for the purpose of identifying the period from the music of JS Bach to the death of Beethoven regarded as the ‘golden age of music’. Of course these days it is used to refer to all music which falls outside the realms of jazz, pop, hip hop, folk and the rest of modern music which mystify all but the young.

We don’t know much about the music played in Ancient Greek and Roman times nor how it sounded because it wasn’t written down in any recognisable form. We know that they understood how to make sounds of a higher or lower pitch by blowing down longer or shorter tubes or hitting bigger or smaller blocks of wood, but it is true to say that most ‘classical’ music derives a good deal of its theory and science from the Greeks, in particular from Pythagoras in the 5th century.

He made critical decisions about the distance between musical steps. He called notes by the letters of the alphabet, with dashes and dots substituted for present day musical notation.

It wasn’t, however, until the 10th century that an Italian monk, Guido of Arezzo invented a system of clear notation of standardised music writing which could be easily read by all. It’s amazing to think that before then the monks in monasteries worldwide could sing literally hundreds of different chants, all from memory. Now suddenly life became easier for all musicians.

Starting this month and for the rest of the year, I will explore the development of classical music in six major world centres. Beginning

In Austria and Germany, we’ll find out about the Minnesingers, love poets who travelled from court to court singing their compositions.

They were replaced a century or so later by the Meistersingers, middle-class craftsmen who got together in a more formalised way to perform.

Their story is brilliantly told by Richard Wagner in his opera The Mastersingers of Nuremburg.

Then we move on to the Baroque period in Austria and Germany, the Classical era followed by the Romantics and finish at the end of the 20th century.

Music in Italy has been traditionally one of the cultural markers of national and ethnic identity holding an important position in both society and politics. Music and politics have been intertwined for centuries, with much of the music of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries having been commissioned either by royalty or by the Roman Catholic Church.

Composers who strayed ran considerable risks. Take poor old Domenico Cimarosa, who dared to compose a Republican hymn for the short-lived Neapolitan Republic of 1799. When the republic fell, Cimarosa was tried for treason and narrowly escaped execution, being banished abroad instead.

hard to please Stalin and others who secretly and cleverly defied him.

Throughout its history, the United Kingdom has been a major exporter and source of musical innovation, stemming, like many other countries, from church music. England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales all retained unique forms of music and instrumentation, while at the same time being heavily influenced by continental developments.

Conversely many successful European composers considered it a necessity to travel to the U.K. at least once in their lifetimes. The Protestant Reformation in the 16th century played an important part in changing the face of British music and we’ll be exploring those changes.

Finally we end up in America where the first music played was by native Americans.

It wasn’t until the 17th century when immigrants from the U.K., Ireland, Spain, Germany and France began arriving in large numbers, bringing with them new styles and new instruments that American music began to take shape. Of course we cannot ignore the influence which the importation of African slaves had on one of America’s greatest exports, jazz.

That’s all to come in Classical Music Explored airing every Wednesday from 5 July onwards at 2pm.

In France we find Jean-Baptiste Lully who became well-known for composing ballets for King Louis XIV and perhaps better known for dying of gangrene when he struck his foot with his long conducting baton. When it turned septic, he refused to have his leg amputated so that he could continue dancing. However, in spite of this, he developed the common beat patterns used by conductors to this day.

The music of Russia demonstrates the size and diversity of the country, starting with ritual folk songs and the sacred music of the Russian Orthodox Church. The 19th century introduced classical music, an art which continued into the 20th century with composers such as Igor Stravinsky as well as Soviet composers, some of whom tried

ENRIQUE GRANADOS 150 AN ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION BY REBECCA ZHONG Bériot, a professor at the Paris Conservatoire.

Granados soon established himself as a fine concert musician. His memorable performance at the Teatre Liric in Barcelona in 1890, described by the Diario de Barcelona, as ‘a paragon of elegance and sentiment’ was certainly the result of Bériot’s guidance.

When thinking of Spanish composers of the 20th century, the nationalist giants Manuel de Falla and Isaac Albéniz come to mind. However Enrique Granados, who had considerable influence on the Spanish nationalist movement but who died at the height of his career at 49, is often overlooked.

This month we give due credit to the Granados’ works, which were once lauded as ‘the finest piano music of our day’.

Granados was born in Spain on 27 July 1867 and studied composition and piano as a young man. His career as a pianist began early, with his debut at age 16 under Charles-Wilfrid de

6

July 2017

fineMusic 102.5

In the same year, Granados undertook composition and harmony lessons with Felipe Pedrell, a founding father of Spanish nationalism. His first success as a composer was with the 12 Spanish Dances for piano in 1890. With a strong influence of the Romantic tradition, the work earned him international renown. In 1898, his opera Maria del Carmen attracted the attention of King Alfonso XIII. Granados’ most famous and enduring work, a technically ambitious suite of six movements for piano, Goyescas, premiered in 1911.

Goyescas was inspired by the paintings and tapestries of Spanish artist Francisco Goya.

Later, Granados arranged melodies from the suite into a one-act opera of the same title which had its world premiere at the New

York Metropolitan Opera in 1916. The opera received such acclaim that Granados was invited by then-President Woodrow Wilson to perform at the White House. However, his return to Spain was marked by tragedy, as the ship on which he was sailing, was struck by German torpedoes while crossing the English Channel. Granados drowned in a vain attempt to save his wife who was struggling in the water.

Granados’ works have influenced many composers who have surpassed him in recognition, including Edvard Grieg, close friend Camille Saint-Saëns and the Spanish greats, Falla and Albéniz.

This month we celebrate the 150th anniversary of a great composer and concert pianist who died before his time and whose significant contributions to Spanish nationalism are deeply underrated.

Listen to the music of Enrique Granados on 27 July at 2pm.

JANE AUSTEN AT THE PIANO

DEREK PARKER TELLS OF HER LOVE OF MUSIC

If, one morning, say, in 1810, you had taken an early morning stroll through the little English village of Chawton, you might have paused before an unassuming house from one of the windows of which came the sound of a piano: a pianist worrying away perhaps at a Haydn sonata, or more likely a country dance. Jane Austen was doing her daily practice.

“Aunt Jane began her day with music”, her niece Caroline remembered. “She chose her practising time before breakfast when she could have the room to herself. She practised regularly every morning. She played very pretty tunes, I thought … Much that she played was from manuscript copied out by herself.”

That was clearly true, for her music books have survived: 18 albums containing over 600 pieces. Now digitized by Southampton University, they can be seen on-line, and indeed (as Caroline said) the music is copied ‘so neatly and correctly that it is as easy to read as print’.

The whole Austen family was musical, and Jane as a young girl, had lessons from Mr. Chard, the assistant organist at Winchester Cathedral, who rode the 14 miles to Chawton

It was at Bath that she heard professional musicians in symphonies by Mozart and Haydn at the Abbey, the Upper Assembly Rooms and the New Rooms, where the musical director was the Italian male soprano, keyboard player and composer Venancio Rauzzini, and where ices, jellies, negus, lemonade and cakes were served in the intervals. At home, her albums contained a few ‘serious’ pieces: a single Haydn sonata, two pieces by ‘Mr Handell’, Non più andrai from Figaro (although entitled The Duke of York’s March, and (oddly, perhaps) Steibelt’s ambitious Grand concerto militaire. Then there were Stephen Storace’s tributes to the French Queen: Captivity and Lamentation of MarieAntoinette. Although a close friend of Jane’s had married a French Count who lost his head in the Revolution, the Austen family loved France and its culture which perhaps explains the inclusion of the Marseillaise. Love songs delighted Jane and the ‘soppier’ the better (with the exception of Gluck’s Che farò senza Euridice).

Jane was clearly no great pianist: she perhaps played as well as Emma Woodhouse but not so well as Jane Fairfax, characters in her novels.

A considerable number of her characters are musicians, some sympathetic like Elizabeth Bennet and Marianne Dashwood, some less so: Augusta Elton, for instance, who ‘was

dotingly fond, passionately fond of music’, but in fact was no more devoted to it than the heroine of Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland, for whom ‘the day which dismissed the music master was one of the happiest of my life’ (well, she was only nine at the time).

The men in her novels are listeners rather than musicians (though Willoughby sings duets with Marianne Dashwood). Not all of them are even that: in Sense and Sensibility Sir John Middleton is ‘loud in his admiration at the end of every song and as loud in his conversation with the others while every song lasted’. Austen, in fact, disliked the Bath concerts because most people talked through

”

to teach her. It was an age when entertainment at home was important and Jane accompanied her six brothers when they sang the popular theatre songs of Shield, Arnold and Dibdin as well as occasionally playing for dances at home. She always wanted the use of a piano, and hired one for 12 guineas, when the family lived in Bath. When she and her sister moved to Chawton, it was: “Yes. We will have a pianoforte, as good a one as can be got for 30 guineas”. That’s well over $1600 today.

the music.

Just as some composer can write a quartet which is clearly an animated conversation, so Austen can write a conversation which is undeniably musical in its tone and expression.

”

While England’s second greatest writer may not have had any outstanding talent as a pianist, it is clear she had a musical ear, and that this had its effect on her writing: it is no coincidence that of all novelists she is the one best read aloud. Just as some composer can write a quartet which is clearly an animated conversation, so Austen can write a conversation which is undeniably musical in its tone and expression. The influence was no doubt unconscious, but it seems to me none the less present. Apart from that, if she didn’t like music, why did she get up so early to practise?

To mark the bicentenary of Jane Austen’s death, Jane Austen’s Music Books will be broadcast on 18 July at 1pm.

VIVE LA FRANCE!

JAMES HUNTER ON THE REVOLUTION AND FRENCH MUSIC most heard today.

It will be included in our program Vive la France! which features a selection from the fabulous history of the music of France, from the Court of Louis XIV, to the cafés of Montmartre.

Allons enfants de la Patrie, the opening words of La Marseillaise, originally titled War Song for the Rhine Army, reflect the lyrics which are a call to arms against foreign invading armies.

It was composed in one night in April 1792, during the French Revolution, by army captain Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle and was later played at a patriotic banquet at Marseilles, with printed copies being given to the revolutionary forces as they marched on Paris. The song was adopted as the Republic’s National Anthem in 1795.

Later, in 1830, the patriotic French composer Hector Berlioz composed a dazzling and powerful arrangement of La Marseillaise for soprano, chorus and orchestra, the version

Opera first appeared in France in the mid17th century during the reign of Louis XIV. Very much in the Italian style, it quickly flourished. The 19th century heralded a clearly identifiable French style in the works of Georges Bizet, Charles Gounod and Jules Massenet bringing a new individuality and colour to French opera. By the 1830s Paris was displacing Vienna as the world capital of musical activity and composers flocked there to study, write, and perform. Gabriel Fauré, Camille Saint-Saëns and others created masterpieces reflecting a period of Romantic French literature, delighting audiences and inspiring composers from other countries.

Impressionism, as seen in the music of Claude Debussy and the early works of Maurice Ravel, blossomed toward the end of the century. The

movement, inspired by the work of French impressionist painters and poets, was antiGerman and anti-Romantic in that it attempted to give music a more improvisatory character with subtle and understated colouristic effects, clearly evidenced by the body of ‘art songs’ produced by both Debussy and Ravel, as well as by Fauré and Henri Duparc.

Between the two world wars, French music developed a ‘neo-classical’ style which was direct, simple, and accessible. Erik Satie exemplified this style, strongly influencing the group of young musicians known as ‘Les Six’: Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, Georges Auric, Germaine Tailleferre and Louis Durey. A vigorous musical tradition of French organ music, with its origins from composers such as César Franck, produced a number of organist-composers who kept the art of improvisation at the keyboard alive. In particular Olivier Messiaen, but also Charles Widor, who wrote ten symphonies for the organ which included his thunderous and mercurial Toccata from Symphony no 5.

In the later 20th century many composers experimented with new sounds and rhythms, but always remained distinctively French!

NEW DOMAINS FROM JULY Change is all around us and Fine Music 102.5 is no exception. Fresh ideas are programmed by our very creative programmers when new domains are introduced into our FM broadcast schedule in the months of January and July each year. Twice yearly the Programming Committee reviews all domains giving programmers the enjoyment of exploring new themes.

A significant change took place exactly ten years ago when the family of Karl Haas stopped sending his Adventures in Good Music to radio stations throughout the world. His was a hard act to follow and the Programming Committee decided to have a similar program but without the in-depth explanations which Karl Haas gave about the music. So in July 2007, we began the domain, Diversions in Fine Music, with a different theme each day of the week.

Many different aspects of the repertoire have been explored, imparting a little knowledge and playing some beautiful music for your diversion.

In July, there are major changes to Diversions in Fine Music which is broadcast on weekdays from 9am to 10.30am. Only the Monday theme, A Year in Retrospect, is being retained.The new themes are: Master Pianists on Tuesday when two or more renowned pianists will be featured; Composer Focus on Wednesday will concentrate on works of a single composer; Great String Players on Thursday will include music played by two or more distinguished players of bowed or plucked strings; Something Borrowed on Friday will show composers’ borrowings of musical ideas, either from their own work or that of others: quotation, variation, paraphrase or arrangement.

Musical Portraits is the new domain on Thursday at 10pm.This will consist of pictures in sound of persons, real and imagined, from ancient legends to the film studio: of gods and goddesses, of kings and queens,

of heroes and villains, of saints and sinners, of lovers and of any interesting character.

You might find the tragic lovers Romeo and Juliet in the same program as the hero Prince Igor or a tormented character like Faust.

The mischievous Till Eulenspiegel, who met a sticky end, could share the time with the wandering Peer Gynt or the swashbuckling Sea Hawk. The possibilities are endless for some interesting stories in music.

What a joy to listen to a well-programmed CD of works from different musical periods linked by a homage to older forms: the Mendelssohn and Franck Preludes and Fugues harking back to Bach, while Chopin and Liszt reflect Italian folk traditions.

Starting with the majesty and grandeur of Busoni’s piano transcription of Bach’s Chaconne from his second Partita in D minor for solo violin, Benjamin Grosvenor impresses throughout, with his touch, technique, rhythmic energy, and contrasts in expression.

July 2015 production. It was not all Vivaldi’s work. He reserved for himself the music for the strong, faithful characters such as Bajazet; for the tyrant Tamerlano and his oppressive cronies; the arias were written by composers from the new virtuosic Neapolitan school.

The plot is complex: it’s a tragic palace intrigue of love and betrayal. The Orchestra of the Antipodes delights from the outset. The Sinfonia is beautifully played and colourfully interpreted with just the right balance between the orchestra with its percussive horns and the continuo, featuring the rustic sounds of two baroque guitars.

Bajazet’s (Hadleigh Adams) opening recitative and aria leave you in no doubt of the power and clarity of his voice. But it is Idapse’s (Sara Macliver) entry on a sustained single note, with luscious strings and tinkling guitars F minor Preludes and Fugues begin with an exquisite melodious Prelude and end with a feisty Fugue. Both works are played with controlled phrasing and textural clarity.

Grosvenor produces amazing dynamic changes, pianissimos and fortissimos, in Franck’s Prelude, chorale and fugue. His interpretation rivals those of Alfred Cortot and Stephen Hough, the latter a champion of this work.

Chopin’s Barcarolle, in rollicking triple time, reminds us of Venetian gondolas moving through the canals of the city. Liszt’s Venezia e Napoli from Années de pelerinage, Book II, Italy, pays tribute to both Venice and Naples in the three movements, a gondola folk song, a canzone quoted from Rossini, and a tarantella from Cottrau. clarinet quintet, together with individual stories which provide depth and clarity to the music.

Beneath the building blocks of the melodious content of Mozart’s Clarinet quintet in A, K581, the harmonious and colourful overlay of the clarinet over the strings is carefully managed.

The playing is measured and meticulous with outstanding phrasing which provides a superb connectivity of sound illustrating Mozart’s ability to create beauty and balance between the instruments.

Two satisfying contemporary Australian works follow. Ian Munro’s Songs from the Bush evokes elements of the Australian outback and is a pleasant and interesting work. The Country Dance gains momentum after a slow introduction whilst the Campfire and Night Sky is a far more introspective interlude.

The Drover’s Lament incorporates various

accompanying, which confirm the listener is in for a real treat. Tamerlano (Christopher Lowrey) is given a stirring opening. Irene’s (Helen Shaman) finest moment comes towards the gruesome end when she forgives Tamerlano.

Andronico (Russell Harcourt) engages in an extended ‘conversation of the countertenors’ at the opening of Act II where he, uneasy, is faced with Tamerlano’s determination to marry Asteria without Bajazet’s consent. Asteria (Emily Edmonds), the most tragic figure of the opera, lashes Andronico’s weakness and duplicity.

Pinchgut Opera’s Bajazet is an altogether gripping performance, which lacks nothing in comparison with the world’s best baroque opera companies.

George Palmer’s Concerto for two clarinets, It takes two is a competition between two clarinets from start to finish. The bright and cheerful Allegro is complemented by a sorrowful Lento arioso where both pizzicato and tremolo strings provide an eerie backdrop to a strained, yet arching clarinet duo. The work concludes with an energetic and at times, playful movement, with the competition reaching fever pitch.

This is quality chamber music and an innovative set of works highlighting the skill and artistry of the Omega Ensemble.

SHOSTAKOVICH HAD A LIGHTER SIDE PAOLO HOOKE ASKS: ARE YOU SERIOUS?

We are exploring this lighter side, with a series of three Sunday Special programs showcasing Shostakovich the entertainer; little-known compositions with such quirky titles as Hypothetically murdered and The young lady and the hooligan.

The orchestral suite Hypothetically murdered, in the opening program, is music which Shostakovich wrote in 1931 for a theatre show which combined slapstick comedy and biting political satire. One scene has an actor parodying political speech on industrial sabotage, a preoccupation of the Soviet regime, while sitting on a stack of broken down steam locomotives! The production was popular with the public. However, leftwing critics were not amused and, after its initial performances, the show ended. The score was lost, probably during the Nazi siege of Leningrad but fortunately piano sketches survived and it was reconstructed and orchestrated by the composer Gerard McBurney. Shostakovich’s music is madcap and mischievous.

In the July program we also present The

”

Dmitri Shostakovich is popularly imagined as a serious, grimly dark composer who chronicled the horrors of Stalinism and wrote the memoir of the Russian tragedy of the 20th century. He also had a lighter side which is all too easily forgotten.

His early theatre works reveal a sparkling wit and cheeky irreverence. If not for Stalin’s editorial attack on him in 1936, Shostakovich might have become the Rossini of modern music.

young lady and the hooligan which, strictly speaking, is not a ballet

by Shostakovich but rather a ballet with music by Shostakovich.

It tells of a violent and alcoholic hooligan who falls in love with a young woman, a schoolmistress, but overcome with awkwardness, cannot express his love for her.

The hooligan’s gang goes on a wild rampage and the young lady is caught up in the violence. The hooligan comes to the lady’s defence and the gang, feeling betrayed, attacks the hooligan, who mortally wounded, dies in her arms. The young lady and the hooligan was created with the composer’s agreement by Levon Atovmian, author of various adaptations and transcriptions of Shostakovich’s music.

Atovmian draws on the composer’s ballets, film music and cello sonata to create a work of lyricism and even romance, not a mood we usually associate with Shostakovich.

Shostakovich’s music is madcap and mischievous

”

The second program in August features the composer’s 1929 score for New Babylon, a film which contrasts the ‘decadent’ bourgeoise with the ‘healthy’ working class. It was the debut of a long and fruitful collaboration between Shostakovich and two outstanding film directors of his era: Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg. Shostakovich’s marvellously ambitious and brilliantly inventive symphonic score, to be played continuously with the film, proved too demanding for the cinemas of the day and was promptly dropped. Conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky prepared a concert suite based on the original manuscript. It is this suite which we will hear, with Shostakovich drawing on French operetta with its waltzes, polkas and can-cans. There’s plenty of lampooning with the composer even quoting from Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld.

The third program in September presents Shostakovich’s music for The limpid stream ballet of 1935. The action is set on a collective farm and puts workers en pointe, with wacky scenes of brazen vaudeville, including a dog riding a bicycle, probably the first such instance in Russian ballet. Shostakovich’s music is catchy and vivacious, with folk melodies, dance numbers and an assortment of adagios, waltzes and prestos.

This was the ballet which provoked Stalin’s anger. Although the Leningrad performances were a success when it was premiered by the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow in November 1935, it seems that the ballet was already in danger.

Shostakovich had been attacked in January 1936 by the tyrant for his opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk in an editorial Muddle instead of Music in the Party newspaper Pravda. The ballet’s idiosyncratic interpretation of socialist realism, the Party’s artistic dogma, was also regarded as suspect.

The limpid stream was condemned in another Pravda editorial Balletic Falsehood, published in February 1936. It criticised Shostakovich and choreographer Fedor Lopukhov as fakes who had offended Russian farmers by portraying them as mawkishly sentimental peasants. They had created a work of ‘coarse naturalism and aesthetic formalism’ according to the editorial, which in the ominous political climate of 1936, was akin to an artistic death sentence. The career of Lopukhov was severely curtailed, with the curtains lowered on his artistic directorship of the Bolshoi Ballet. Shostakovich’s full score for The limpid stream was not played again in his lifetime and he would not write another ballet. Years later, The limpid stream was rehabilitated by the Bolshoi, with Alexei Ratmansky creating new choreography in 2003. The Bolshoi gave memorable performances of the ballet in Brisbane in 2013.

Join us for a fascinating glimpse into the lighter side of Shostakovich and his astonishing gift for the theatrical in Sunday Special on 16 July, 20 August and 17 September at 3 pm.

This latest recording from The Microscopic Septet is an investigation of the blues form containing a variety of different takes on the jazz-blues format from blowing tunes to highly arranged orchestral pieces, a blues march, an homage to Ellingtonia, a reharmonized blues version of Silent night and a couple of Bop tunes thrown in.The band’s prolific composers and co-leaders saxophonist Phillip Johnston and pianist Joel Forester come together with drummer Richard Dworkin, bassist Dave Hofstra, saxophonists Dave Sewelson, Mike Hashim and Don Davis to stretch out their idiosyncratic soloistic styles.

The only cover and the only vocal on the album is I’ve got a right to cry, written and recorded by the great Joe Liggins, an American jazz and blues pianist and vocalist

who led Joe Liggins and his Honeydrippers in the 1940s and 1950s. It’s a tune the band has had in its repertoire since inception and although it’s not technically a blues number it seems to fit into this album quite snugly as a showpiece. Stand out tracks come with a hint of Thelonius Monk’s influence from the band on Quizzical and 12 Angry birds, homaging the early works of Duke Ellington and Jelly Roll Morton.The bands musical odyssey traverses territory that’s sometimes strange, pleasingly familiar, consistently revelatory and always entertaining right up to the very last track of a mere 17 seconds.

bodied tone, usually sets the scene as he calls on his unsurpassed knowledge of the lyrics of these great melodies to add richness to his improvisations.

Carter, the most recorded bassist in jazz history and a member of Miles Davis’ classic second quintet (1963-68), is the anchor, responsible for the harmony, changes and rhythm. However, on Can’t we be friends, it is Person who becomes the rhythm-keeper playing a simple riff while Carter holds forth with his unmatched tone and technique. They have decades of experience but possibly the key to the success of these albums is their extensive preparation in not only selecting the tunes but stripping them to their essence.

There is no place to hide. As Person said: “Everything is implied: the harmony, drums and piano”. And there is no better example

of this than on But beautiful where, anchored

composer and pianist Sharny Russell to shine.

From a very musical family including Steve Russell (pianist, musical director, bassist) and Helen Russell (bassist, musical director, vocal arranger), Sharny’s star began to rise on the 2003 ABC Classics release of A good thing on hold and then later on Velvet Jazz with George Golla. On her newest recording, Sharny is voicing and playing the piano on a repertoire of beautiful love songs and ballads, caressing the lyrics of each song with a measure of emotion and taste making for a vocal jazz album which is a pleasure to hear.

Among the vocal gems, the four standards included are real treats with the stand-out track Wild is the wind being the most delicious

of all. The others, eight originals from Sharny’s pen, are aural delights with Paul Cutlan on tenor and alto sax, Bill Risby on keys, Jeremy Sawkins on guitar, Brendan Clarke on double bass, David Nuttall on oboe and Gordon Rytmeister on the drum kit. All featured soloists add cream to the final mix with some great backing vocals from Sally Cameron and Justine Bradley. Love songs, songs of life and emotion, standards alongside superbly written originals voiced by a superior singer and backed by a top-notch cast of players, makes this vocal jazz album a must for those who appreciate the genre.

THE POET AND JAZZ CHRIS WETHERALL EXPLORES PHILIP LARKIN’S JAZZ JOURNEY

A year ago, I was looking for themes for my Fine Music jazz spots and thought I would dig deeper into Philip Larkin and his jazz journey. I got four hours of material from it and loved every second.

I am embarrassed to admit how Philip Larkin’s poetry entered my consciousness. Like other callow youths across the land, I was charmed by two rude sexual fragments from longer works which were subversive texts for youths exploring the unknown. As I grew older I came across more substantial works, particularly the Whitsun Weddings. I also knew Larkin’s ‘day job’ was Head Librarian at Hull University on England’s east coast. He was part of a London-based literary group which revolved around the home of my then-favourite English novelist, Kingsley Amis. This group could be described as being politically to the right and embracing traditional jazz over the horrors of be-bop and beyond.

For Larkin, jazz constituted one of the great artistic experiences of his life. In a Guardian interview in 1965 he said, “I can live a week without poetry but not a day without jazz”. He began collecting records in 1936 when he was 14. Liking jazz at all in the 1930s was seen as barbaric and iconoclastic by most people who had a serious interest in music. Although Larkin later wrote virulently about ‘modern jazz’, what he liked as a boy was ‘modern’ at that time.

In his school days, the recurring names are Louis Armstrong, Artie Shaw, Count Basie, Bessie Smith and Coleman Hawkins. When he went to Oxford University on a scholarship and connected with the jazz-loving Kingsley Philip Larkin (1922-1985) was among the Amis and others, we see more of Eddie dominant poets of post-World War II Britain. Condon and the other Chicagoans like Benny Although his first publications were in 1945, it Goodman, Teddy Wilson and Billie Holiday. was not until 40 years later in 1984 that he Later in Hull with university cronies we get was offered the Poet Laureateship following Henry Allen, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, the death of John Betjeman. This honorary post and always back to Louis Armstrong. The requires writing verse to mark state occasions, most modern records in his collection were rewarded by a hogshead of ale and a bucket some Dave Brubeck from 1953 and Coleman of malmsey, or some such. He declined. His Hawkins in 1959. poetic style was marked by what biographer Andrew Motion called, ‘a very English He really disliked be-bop and what followed.

“Why”, he used to ask, “why these merchants of misery?” He took a very apocalyptic, gloomy view of what lay ahead. The golden years were over and the barbarians very much at the gate. He wrote to his friend Robert Conquest after Ellington’s death in 1974: “Let us bury the great Duke. I’ve been playing some of his records. Now he and Armstrong are gone, jazz is finally finished”.

”

glum accuracy about emotions, places and relationships’. Another critic wrote of ‘the saddest heart in the post-war supermarket’.

His public persona was that of the solitary, nononsense Englishman who disliked fame and had no patience for the trappings of the public literary life. As for a place called Abroad!

Avoid at all costs!

Jazz constituted one of the great artistic experiences of his life

”

Philip Larkin had some revenge on the hated modernists in ten years of jazz reviews and commentaries in the influential Daily Telegraph. Here he is noting the death of John Coltrane: “Virtually the only compliment one can pay Coltrane is one of stature. If he was boring, he was enormously boring. If he was ugly, he was massively ugly. To squeak and gibber for 16 bars is nothing; Coltrane could do it for 16 minutes, stunning the listener into a kind of hypnotic state in which he read and re-read the sleeve note and believed, not, of course, that he was enjoying himself, but that he was hearing something significant. Perhaps he was. Time will tell. I regret Coltrane’s death, as I regret the death of any man, but I can’t conceal the fact that it leaves in jazz a vast, blessed silence.”

The end of the story, of course, is that traditional and modern jazz went on to co-exist remarkably well. The book of Larkin’s collected pieces, All What Jazz is worth seeking out, particularly if you have heroes in that period and are broad-minded enough to enjoy his knuckle-duster approach to music criticism.

I will be sharing all this with you on Fine Music Digital on Mondays 3, 10, 17, 24 July at 3pm, which you can also hear via finemusicfm.com.

The gramophone mounted within a heavy mahogany cabinet in our front room, was the source of more serious music. I spent hours watching the turntable and Brahms Hungarian dance no 5 was a favourite.

Music entered my life forever when, at age five, I sat at the grand piano in my Grandmother’s home in the U.K. and tentatively picked out simple tunes which I could hear in my head.

At nine, I attended my first musical in London: The King and I starring Yul Brynner.

I was hooked! As a young teenager in Johannesburg, the concert I most remember featured Gina Bacchauer playing Beethoven’s Fifth Concerto, the Emperor. It left such a deep impression, that a few years later, when attempting to teach a boyfriend how to waltz, I played the third movement over and over again. After all, it is written in ¾ time! It worked, he waltzed, but I can never hear this without wanting to dance.

In South Africa music was everywhere: bird song, night sounds and, above all, singing.

Africans joined their voices in natural, magnificent harmony whilst sitting under a tree, at work, at leisure, at prayer, celebrating

Music means everything to me: it reaches all of my senses. I feel the rich cream and honey voice of Maria Callas, the intense chocolate voice of Paul Robeson, the deep caramel voice of Jussi Björling and the sweet licorice voice

of Benny Goodman’s clarinet. I feel the touch of the smooth velvet voice of Ella Fitzgerald mingling with the rough sand paper rasp of Louis Armstrong or the warm glow of Brahms’ Double Concerto or the clarion cry of a Mozart horn concerto. It excites my imagination with Smetana’s Die Moldau, Schubert’s Trout Quintet, Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture or Debussy’s La Mer. It uplifts me with hymns sung by massed choirs, the national anthem sung at a sports event, a brass band playing a rousing call to arms. It also saddens, heals, restores and comforts me: Novello’s Lilacs in the Spring, The Last Post, Abide with me. It entertains me at recitals, opera and musicals.

I relax with a Schubert sonata, get going with the Beatles, march with Eric Coates, dance with Glenn Miller and enjoy a ‘barbie’ with Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton or John Williamson.

I would be lost without music, but should I be condemned to perpetual silence, I pray that I would still be able to hear music, if only in my head.
