I would like to begin the editorial this month with a note of gratitude to our outgoing editor, Elaine Siversen, who has delivered to us, over the last three years, a comprehensive magazine highlighting our classical music program. We shall be forever grateful for Elaine’s dedication to Fine Music.

Whatever your beliefs, it is safe to say this time of year offers the promise of a fresh start while pointing to new life and the power and energy to reshape our own. While a new year typically sparks resolutions for life changes large and small, Easter offers its own chance for a reset. With those thoughts in mind, this month we welcome you to the new magazine design.

As we prepare for the launch of our digital magazine over the next three months, we hope this new design will provide you a fresh perspective that focuses on our mission to be Sydney’s preferred broadcaster of classical music, jazz and other specialist music genres, while promoting Australian musicians and composers, with particular focus on the young. We encourage you to explore our new Fine Music Sydney website and all of the extra benefits that it has to offer. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the dedicated volunteers who were involved in this month's program.

Werner Andreas AlbertA Tribute to the German - Australian Conductor

Written by Neil McEwan Photo by Sabina Langenham

Werner Andreas Albert, a student of Herbert von Karajan, was a prolific German conductor, who played a significant role in the orchestral culture of Australia, but notably as chief conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra for over a decade, an ensemble which developed a strong identity and enhanced culture of sound during his tenure, confirming his expertise as an orchestra builder.

In the international sphere, Albert produced a significant discography of recordings of neglected symphonic works, mostly by German composers. Many of these are premiere recordings and have played a significant role in the revival of such composers as Alexander von Zemlinsky, Siegfried Wagner, Hans Pfitzner and Paul Hindemith. Albert included a number of Australian works of which he conducted premieres.

Werner Andreas Albert had a keen interest in the training of young conductors and musicians. He directed the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Conducting Workshop for eight years, as well as teaching selected Masters’ students at the University of Queensland, of which institution he was an Adjunct Professor. He was Chief Conductor of the Bavarian State Youth Orchestra for more than 25 years and was also senior lecturer at the Meistersinger Conservatorium in Nuremberg.

The program is dedicated to Werner Andreas Albert and includes works by Korngold, Hindemith, Siegfried Wagner, Volkmann, Goetz and Busoni recorded by Australian and German orchestras and including Australian soloists.

Congratulations on your new album “Beautiful World”! How did the album come about?

Thank you! The new album has been in the making for quite a while - I started writing material for it about two years ago and over time we’ve ‘road-tested’ the tunes and arrangements in our live shows. I also found and approached an incredible Australian producer, Chong Lim AM, who works regularly with John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John. Once we had the songs, we raised the money to start. Part of that came from the Kruger Scholarship and part from private investment. We were then able to put together a wonderful team of musicians and we recorded on and off over a year, working around peoples’ schedules. And then it took probably six months or more for my manager to pitch the album and do the commercial negotiations. And now, here we are and I’m really excited to be releasing the album here in Australia with ABC Music this month.

What was the significance of your visit to Nashville for this project?

I’ve been lucky to make a few trips to Nashville, the songwriting capital of the world, it also happens to be where my manager is based. The first time I went there, I tried my first co-writing sessions

with a few talented writers and it was a wonderful experience. Being a city full of music creatives and also having such a rich music history, it’s a truly inspiring place for a young writer to be. It really helped me to develop my confidence with songwriting and to begin the journey of writing new material for my album. When I arrived there, I had begun an idea entitled ‘The One Who Walks Me Home’.

I remember sitting at the piano one afternoon watching the sunset on the Tennessee hills and, after what had been months of struggle, I was able to come up with a bridge section and finally finish the tune. That is the last track on the album, but probably the first one that I wrote.

Are these all original compositions?

There are ten tracks in total and eight of those are my original tunes. I know it’s a bit unusual for a vocal jazz artist to do so much original material, but I probably consider myself foremost as a singer-songwriter who loves jazz. I’d describe my new album as jazz-influenced, but actually there’s quite a lot of variety on there. Among my original tunes there is some swing, a few ballads and also a couple of latin-inspired songs.

I know it’s a bit unusual for a vocal jazz artist to do so much original material, but I probably consider myself foremost as a singer-songwriter who loves jazz.

There are also some tunes which crossover into the pop world, including my own version of the Peter Allen classic ‘I Go to Rio’ - something a little different which I hope people will enjoy!

You were the Fine Music Kruger Scholar in 2017. What would you say to any musicians or composers considering applying for this or the new Weatherley Jazz Scholarship?

I’m so grateful for the opportunity that the scholarship gave me to travel to Nashville for songwriting and also to begin my new studio album. I would highly recommend any young, aspiring musician or composer to put together a project that they’re passionate about and apply for these scholarships. This kind of support and opportunity is invaluable, and yet too rare for young aspiring artists in our community, so it should be snapped up whenever possible!

What other projects do you have coming up in 2020?

I hope to do a bit of travel this year in relation to the album. I’m excited that Universal Music Japan has licensed the Beautiful World album and will be releasing it there in June. I’d love to travel there for some promotion and performing associated with the launch. I haven’t been back to Nashville for a while either so I think another creative trip to the US might be on the cards. Other than that, I am always looking out for creative inspiration, writing and working on new songs for the next recording.

The Silver Age of Viennese Operetta

There was some excitement in 1905 among regular patrons of the Vienna Theater an der Wien as Christmas approached. A new operetta had been promised, with music by Richard Heuberger, the composer of the resoundingly successful The Opera Ball. However, the management of the theatre was less excited than concerned: the promised score kept failing to appear. It got later and later. What to do?

The librettist, Victor Léon, kept resisting the obvious solution: hand the libretto over to the theatre’s conductor, Franz Lehár, who had already had four operettas produced in the city. But the last two had been pretty unsuccessful, and Léon did not want any chances of success spoiled by an incompetent or simply dull score. At last, however, he was persuaded that there was no other way out of the deadlock, and he sent for the conductor.

Franz Lehár In Profile

Lehár was twenty-five years old, and not Viennese (another black mark, in Léon’s eyes). His father was from Czechoslovakia, and had been a military bandmaster in Hungary, where Lehár had grown up. Advised by Dvorák, Lehár had studied composition in Prague under one of the patriarchs of Czech music, Zdeňek Fibich. At 18, he took his first job, as a theatre violinist in Barmen-Elberfeld, in Germany. When he had to do his compulsory military service, Lehár took advantage of the seemingly lax rules, for he was in and out of both the army and navy with

considerable ease, first, as bandmaster of his father’s band, then quitting when the Leipzig Municipal Theatre accepted his first full-length opera, Kukuška. The opera was a failure, so Lehár enlisted again, taking over his father’s band in Budapest. (He also wed the young Sophie Paschkis, with whom he enjoyed a long and happy marriage.)

When the band was transferred to Vienna, Lehár managed to arrange an assistant conductorship at the Theater an der Wien, and, once more, promptly resigned from the military when the theatre staged his first operetta, The Viennese Women, which had a moderate success. A month later, the Carl Theater produced The Tinker, followed swiftly by The Divine Husband and The Phony Marriage, neither of which did at all well.

It was these failures which deterred Victor Léon from immediately calling on Lehár to set the libretto of the operetta promised for Christmas, 1905, but when he was forced to comply, Lehár happily set to work.

The new operetta was based on a French farce, and there was a fortunate gaffe that led to its title. Lehár heard someone refer to a woman as a lästige Witwe – an annoying widow – but thought he had said lustige Witwe – a merry widow – and immediately took that as his title. Apart from that, everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Léon and the theatre staff lost confidence and asked Lehár to withdraw the piece, but he refused.

He was supported by the two stars, the enormously popular Mizzi Günther and Louis Treumann, who showed their confidence in the composer by paying for their own, extremely expensive, costumes. Right up to the unfortunate date the jealous Léon set for the premiere – 30 December – indeed right up to the raising of the curtain, success seemed unlikely; but when the curtain eventually came down, it was to tumultuous applause. The Merry Widow ran for 483 performances before going on to tour Austria, and eventually being produced in almost every country in the world.

Lehár became the new lion of Viennese operetta. But the lion declined to roar for some time; the composer’s next several offerings, including The Key to Paradise and Peter and Paul Sleep in Cockaigne, flopped, and it was not until The Count of Luxembourg that he had another success, followed a year later with Gypsy Love. Then for almost 20 years nothing really ‘took the town’, until 1925, when a wonderful operatic tenor reluctantly assumed the lead role in Paganini.

Lehár knew instinctively how to write for Richard Tauber’s voice, and Tauber knew exactly how to voice Lehár’s melodies, and there followed six operettas written specifically for that voice. These included The Tsarevich, Friederike and, above all, The Land of Smiles (1929), from which “You Are My Heart’s Delight” became one of the smash hits not merely of the year, or the decade, but the century.

There was one more success for Lehár with Giuditta, elaborately produced at the Vienna State Opera in 1934. Apart from the operettas, he put his enormous technical acumen and sophistication to good use in some fine waltzes (Gold and Silver, for instance), and early film scores. He lived in Austria through the war – at Bad Ischl, near the home of his contemporary, Oscar Straus – and died in 1948, not long after supervising a grand revival of The Land of Smiles on Broadway. Lehár’s best operettas still stage well, because he was fortunate in his librettists and set their work with enormous care and enthusiasm; but whether or not they continue to be produced, it will be a very long time before audiences tire of Gold and Silver, or of the latest fashionable tenor’s recording of “You Are My Heart’s Delight”.

Fides and Bertha seek the Count’s necessary permission for Bertha’s marriage to John, son of Fides. This permission is withheld once the Count sees Bertha; he wants her for himself so he detains them in his castle. Bertha escapes but is soon given as hostage to the Count to spare the life of Fides whom he will kill if Bertha is not returned to him. John then gives in to the Anabaptists, who want him for their leader, and leads a revolt disguised as the Prophet. Fides, now a beggar, tells Bertha that John is dead. Bertha assumes that the Prophet has killed him. Fides is imprisoned as a mad woman when she recognises her son

as the Prophet. Afraid of advancing forces, the Anabaptists give up John, as Bertha enters to avenge the ‘death’ of John by killing the Prophet. When she sees that the Prophet is John, she stabs herself. John torches the city and he, his mother and their enemies all die in the flames.Purcell, H. Suite from The prophetess (1690).

Hanna and Danilo were once in love but were prevented from marrying because she was poor. Danilo objects to the scheme because she is now rich and also it is rumoured that she is about to marry the French Comte Camille de Rosillon (who is in fact involved in a flirtation with the Baron’s wife, Valencienne). All ends happily, after enormous complications, with Hanna and Danilo confessing their love and agreeing to marry.Overture to Gypsy love (1910); Overture to Viennese women.

20:00 AT THE OPERA The excursions of Mr Broucek Prepared by Peter PooleJanácek, L. The excursions of Mr Broucek. Opera in two parts. Libretto by F.S. Procházka and others after Svaopluk Cech. First performed Prague, 23 April 1920. MATEJ BROUCEK: Jan Vacík, ten MAZAL/AZURIAN: Peter Straka, ten MÁLINKA/ETHEREA: Maria Haan, sop DOMSÍK: Roman Janál, bass-bar BBC Singers & SO/Jirí Belohlávek. DG 477 7387 2:03On his way home from a night at the inn, Mr Broucek finds himself transported to the moon. Here he meets a strange collection of mathematicians, painters, musicians and poets, most of whom have counterparts in his terrestrial existence. These include the poet Azurean, who resembles his non-paying poet tenant Mazal, and his betrothed, Etherea, who resembles Mazal’s earthly sweetheart Malinka, with whom he had been quarrelling. Etherea falls in love with Broucek. When he discovers that they live on dew, he is glad to find himself back in Prague, where Mazal and Malinka make up their quarrel. After another night at the inn, Broucek falls into an underground passage and is transported back to the 15th century, where he is arrested as a spy, but is taken under the protection of a citizen, Domsik. After a battle defending the Hussites, in which Domsik is killed, Broucek is accused of cowardice and is about to be burned. He wakes up back in the Prague of his own time, ready to boast about his exploits in saving the city.

Decca 476 2173 1:49The setting is Madrid where a young novice nun, Angèle de Olivarès, is about to take final vows. With her companion Brigitte, Angèle slips out of the convent to enjoy a last night of freedom and attend a ball in honour of the Queen of Spain’s birthday. She wears a black half-mask (the ‘domino’ of the title). Horace de Massarena had fallen in love with her at the ball held the year before and returns in the hope of meeting her again. He dances with the woman in the black mask and, realisng that she is Angèle, his friend Count Juliano sets the clock back an hour causing Angèle to miss leaving at midnight before the gates of the convent are locked. Angèle runs off seeking shelter for the night in a house, not knowing that it belongs to Count Juliano who is holding a late-night party for his friends, including Horace. Angèle persuades the housekeeper to disguise her as her niece from the country. She manages to fool everyone except Horace who locks her in a room where he hopes to keep her until she gives him an explanation for running away. The drunken Gil Perez opens the door and runs off believing her to be a demon in her mask and cloak. Angèle escapes and next morning manages to slip undiscovered into the convent. Shortly before the ceremony, a letter from the Queen freeing her from her vows, allows her to marry Horace.

EVA: Morenike Fadayomi, sop OCTAVE FLAUBERT: Reinhard Alessandri, ten Lehár Festivals Bad Ischl Choir; Franz Lehár O/Wolfgang Bozic. cpo 777 148-2 2:06Eva works in a glass factory in Brussels. Octave Flaubert, a Parisian bon vivant, takes over the management of the factory from his father, the owner. He is captivated by Eva’s beauty and attempts to seduce her by announcing to everyone that she is his fiancée. When she discovers that he doesn’t mean it, she flees to Paris. Courted by a Duke, she is drawn into the life of a demi-mondaine and even begins smoking cigarettes. Octave, lured to Paris by Eva’s concerned companions, is dazzled by her new appearance and realises that he loves her. Eva is tired of the artificial life she has been leading and now finds that Octave is her ‘prince in the fairytale’ coming to her rescue.Excerpts from The Tsarevitch (1927).

Glossa GCD 920311 1:37Iphigenia is chief priest at the temple of Artemis (or Diana) in Tauris, on the Black Sea coast in present-day Crimea (mistakenly identified as Thrace, or Tracia, by the librettist). The Taurians offer shipwrecked sailors to Artemis in sacrifice. As punishment for having killed his mother and her lover, Iphigenia’s brother Orestes has been ordered by Apollo to travel to Tauris to recover a statue of Artemis and return it to Athens. On arrival, he and his friend Pylades (a spoken role, not heard in this recording) are imprisoned and threatened with sacrificial death. Iphigenia is to preside over this ritual and fails to recognise Orestes as her brother, although they find each other attractive. Also shipwrecked in Tauris are Electra (their sister, and the wife of Pylades) and her servant Cofieta, both disguised as shepherdesses. Polydorus, son of King Priam of Troy, has travelled there as well, with a view to marrying the Taurian woman Dircea. However, he finds himself attracted to Iphigenia. For her part, Dircea becomes interested in Orestes. A further comic character, Mochila, completes the singing roles. Still without realising they are siblings, Iphigenia offers to give Orestes his freedom if he conveys a letter to Greece. Orestes volunteers Pylades to do this, wishing to stay and be sacrificed. The sacrifice is about to happen when the contents of the letter are revealed, enabling Iphigenia, Orestes and

Electra to become aware of each other’s true identity. With the assistance of a flotilla of Greek ships, they flee Tauris carrying the statue of Artemis and leaving Polydorus and Dircea to continue their courtship.Soler, A. Sonata no 41 in E flat.

Beethoven's New PathReflections on The Eroica

In late February, those lucky enough to have acquired an ACO subscription for 2020 were treated to a special program featuring the first three Beethoven symphonies. Of the three symphonies, the 3rd, or The Eroica as it is commonly referred to, has arguably received the most scholarly treatment, heralded for its level of emotional intensity and structural complexity. At the premiere in April 1805, the Viennese audience experienced a new level of symphonic harmony and textures, born from innovative

compositional techniques developed by Beethoven but evolved from the strict, formal Classical structures implemented by Haydn and Mozart. This original symphonic sound would come to be defined as Beethoven’s ‘new path’ or ‘second style’, and, as an American musicologist Michael Broyels notes: “demarcates a break with the past and delineates many of the themes that give the heroic decade its name.”

Written by Eddie Bernasconi

Many would be familiar with Napoleon Bonaparte’s influence on the Eroica. In the political realm, the rise of Napoleon and the threat of revolution made for an intense European political climate, giving rise to an arts movement characterised by an interest in the Sublime and artists considering themselves as “unacknowledged legislators of the world”. At the heart of his appeal, Napoleon stood as a model for self-made greatness; a man who came from nothing to become emperor of Europe. To artists including Beethoven, the emergence of the ‘Napoleon myth,’ largely brought about by the likeness between Bonaparte and ancient Greek and Roman archetypes, fostered an enthusiasm for classical imperial art and heroic ideals. Thus, in Napoleon, Beethoven found a model on which he could ground his multi-dimensional heroic theme, thus depicting the ideological climate of the time.

If anything, consideration of the personal and political contexts informing the Eroica’s heroic idea highlights the changing attitude of artists towards creativity, the personal and the subjective. In this sense, Beethoven’s ‘new path’ approach is not only reputable for its musical innovation, but also it exemplifies a transitional work inspired by Romantic ideals.

Thursday 30 April at 8am

While the Eroica owes much of its enduring popularity to Beethoven’s compositional genius, one’s appreciation of it is enhanced with knowledge of the unique historical and political context in which it was composed and the personal motivations that inspired its creation.

Notably, the Eroica was conceived at a time when artists, in reaction to the enlightenment movement and the industrial revolution, were becoming discontented with the musical formulas and conventions of the ‘Classical’ 1800s and more concerned with pursuing free-spirited expression. Consequently, music began to embody the composer’s personality, to the extent that the music was seen to be inextricably connected to the subjective feelings of the composer. For Beethoven, the turn of the century marked a difficult period of his life.

In 1802, he wrote his infamous Heiligenstadt Testament, a letter to his brothers concerning his personal struggles with deafness and his determination to achieve his artistic destiny. Many suggest a connection between Beethoven’s personal struggles evident in the Testament with his artistic evolution.

His deafness, which remained his longest lasting ailment, would have induced much of his personal psychological struggles, forcing him to withdraw from social contacts and live in isolation.

Consequently, as music theorist Lewis Lockwood writes, "by resigning to the fact that ‘no happiness could come from the outside,’" Beethoven was able to realise his musical destiny and shield his inner creative thoughts from external musical influences.

His deafness, which remained his longest lasting ailment, would have induced much of his personal psychological struggles, forcing him to withdraw from social contacts and live in isolation.

Musical FamiliesJean-Féry Rebel's Famous In-LawsWritten by Elizabeth Hill

Jean-Féry Rebel Gallica Digital Library/Public Domain

43

Jean-Féry Rebel was born in 1666 into three generations of musical Rebels. His father and uncle were connected to the French royal household, and his sister was married to the composer Michel-Richard Delalande. With these connections, and with Jean-Baptiste Lully as a musical protector, Rebel’s success was assured from the start. He was involved with the Académie Royale de Musique for 40 years, was a violinist at the Opéra, a member of the elite 24 Violons du Roi, a respected harpsichordist and a musician of the royal chapel. In 1718 he took over Delalande’s post as Master of the King's Chamber Music.

Rebel played a leading role in developing the French Baroque, often by infusing the French style with Italian elements. Up until 1708 he wrote mostly small vocal works and then turned to chamber music. During this period, he was one of the first French composers to write sonatas, but became particularly known for his sinfonies, works written to be choreographed and danced.

Today, Rebel’s reputation rests almost entirely on his final work, Les Elémens, a ballet based on the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. In the overture, Rebel repeatedly sounds the entire D minor harmonic scale to depict the primordial chaos of creation. “I dared to undertake to link the idea of the confusion of the Elements with that of confusion in harmony. I hazarded to make heard first … all of the notes of the octave united as a single sound.” So was born the first tone cluster in the history of Western music.

Unlike Rebel, Michel-Richard Delalande did not come from a musical family, but from a family of gardeners responsible for the gardens of the Châteaux de Saint-Germain. A contemporary of Lully and Couperin, he was one of the few composers who asserted any influence while Lully was alive. What Lully did for opera in France, Delalande did for sacred music.

Delalande served as principal court composer for Louis XIV (and Louis XV), becoming maître de musique de la chambre in 1695. By 1714 he had gained total control of music at the chapel royal. Delalande wrote a lot of secular music, including ballets, pastorales and divertissements for the entertainment of the royal court, later reworking these into sinfonies for the court’s entertainment

during the kings’ suppers. Mainly lively dances and airs, they are distinct from the classical symphonic form that developed with Haydn.

Delalande’s fame, however, rests upon his grand motets. Resembling the German cantata in style, with alternating solo arias, ensembles and choruses, these elegant and extravagant works not only became the kings’ favourites, but continued to be sung in the chapel until the fall of the Ancien Régime. This music was highly regarded both in the composer's own day and beyond.

The celebrated French musician Fromental Halévy was born in Paris some 130 years after Rebel. Despite rampant antisemitism in France at the time, Halévy was one of the most powerful Parisian composers in his day. He rose to prominence in France as an arbiter of public artistic tastes, becoming permanent secretary of the Académie des Beaux Arts in 1854.

A protégé of Cherubini, he won the Prix de Rome, was musical adviser to the Dauphin of France and choral director of the Paris Opera. As a prominent professor of music at the Paris Conservatoire, he taught composition, harmony and counterpoint, numbering among his pupils Charles Gounod, Camille Saint-Saëns, and Georges Bizet.

Halévy wrote 32 operas, though his reputation rests mainly on his comic opera L’Eclair and his tragic opera La Juive. With a libretto by Eugene Scribe, La Juive became one of the most popular operas of the 19th century after its Paris premiere in 1835 and, along with Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots, is regarded as the prototype of early grand French opera.

Halévy died in retirement at Nice aged 62, leaving his last opera Noé unfinished. It was completed by his son-in-law Georges Bizet, but did not receive its first performance until ten years after Bizet's own death.

Georges Bizet wrote some notable operas in his time, before his career was tragically cut short by his death at the age of 36. Studying at the Paris Conservatoire from the age of nine, he won many prizes, including the coveted Prix de Rome in 1857. An outstanding pianist, Bizet rarely performed in public, preferring instead to focus on the theatre. At a time when theatres were giving preference to performing classical era works, rather than new ones, he had little success and spent much of his time transcribing and arranging other people’s music for Parisian publishers.

The premiere of his final and most successful work, Carmen, was delayed because Bizet worried that the themes of betrayal and murder would be too controversial and would offend audiences. Sadly, he died of a heart attack three months after its premiere, never knowing the success that Carmen would go on to see.

Live Music Review

Forming a big band and sustaining its future appearances is a mammoth task for anyone to attempt, especially in these difficult times for music. That the 2019 Jazz Artist in Residence at Fine Music Sydney, Michael Griffin, has taken on this mammoth task is to be loudly applauded, if only for the fact that it gives numerous musicians the opportunity to work on a night where not much else happens in the current climate of live jazz music.

So it is, that on Tuesdays from around 7.30 pm, Griffin and his selected ensemble for the evening play his arrangements, consisting mostly of his original compositions as well as selected jazz standards, combined with the occasional guest vocalist. Given the venue’s lack of necessary stage lighting facilities, viewing the faces and performances of the big band was almost impossible and detracted from the overall experience. That said, the sound of the band swelled beautifully in the room. Griffin’s compositions/arrangements brim with solo opportunities for the players.

On this night, the horn section cranked it up and was a joy in themselves. Tenor saxophonist/clarinetist Craig Walters, trumpeter Eamon Dilworth, trombonist Dave Panichi and baritone saxophonist Lachy Hamilton all made the most of their solos, as did Griffin on his alto. He is an exceptionally gifted performer, composer, and leader. Highlights included Craig Walter’s solos on Dreaming of the Union Jack, and Concerto for George, a stand out reed player if ever there was one!

Another highlight was Eamon Dilworth's solo on the opener Bus Line Blues, as well as some exquisitely fine contributions on the ballad, A Lost Love. Aaron Blakey’s pianism caressed and strutted throughout the night like a welcoming summer breeze. His music was bursting with swing and faultless timing, remaining ultimately focused. He is clearly the backbone of this band. Nic Cicere has the precision of a concert drummer, mixed with the fun and flair of a jazzman.

Fine Music Sydney’s 2020 Ken Weatherley Scholarship holder, Kate Wadey, rendered some subtle and charming vocals on

God Bless The Child which was like a reflective pool of wistful sounds and words. Wadey is rapidly gaining attention for her remarkable chops and imaginative ways of structuring tunes. She delivered some well-controlled renditions of You Go To My Head, How Little We Know and The Song is You with the small combo from the band and then battled valiantly with the big band on the closer Undecided, but again it was the staging of the whole performance that let her down.

With the big bands of the Swing Era, the vocalists were always prominent in their solos, strategically staged and well lit in the spotlight for their performances not sidelined to the shadows. When and if this is all sorted out with the yet to appear vocalists Liam Burrows and George Washingmachine, this big band will really be something to watch and listen to performing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Barry O'Sullivan, Presenter A passion for contemporary Australian and American improvised music serves as the basis of Barry O’Sullivan’s 23-year career as a presenter. He began presenting on Radio Blue Mountains in 1997, before broadcasting his national music program A Jazz Hour on the Community Radio Network in 2004. It was “the high concentration and quality of jazz music played on the station” that eventually led Barry to Fine Music in 2015.

When asked about his highlights as a presenter at Fine Music, Barry cites “meeting, interviewing and forming valuable professional relationships with musicians and composers of improvised music and exposing their recorded music to a wider audience”, as his key highlights; and although he considers all of his guests “favourites”, it was a special moment interviewing Don Was, the President of Blue Note Records America, that stands out.

Barry’s other passion is cooking, he discovered food and began his training at a French Cordon Bleu Cookery School in London, followed by work in the United Kingdom, including a stint with the Royal Family and on English television with Keith Floyd in his French Masterclass Cookery series. Barry eventually operated his own restaurants in Australia, where he achieved hatted-chef status twice.

When he’s not presenting, Barry is involved in the selection process for a number of Fine Music’s Emerging Artists programs and also regularly attends and reviews jazz gigs for a variety of publications.

Artist Feature Lachy HamiltonJazz composer and saxophonist, Lachy Hamilton is fast becoming a well-known performer. Hailing from a small community on Sydney’s Scotland Island, 23-year-old Lachy, began his musical journey at a young age, playing the piano at age four, taking up the clarinet and then the saxophone soon after.

Having completed a Bachelor of Music (Honours) at the James Morrison Academy of Music in South Australia, Lachy’s career has taken him around the world performing with the likes of James Morrison in his Generations in Jazz Concerts in America and Australia, Judy Bailey's Jazz Connection Orchestra, The Potts Point Big Band as well as performing alongside Wycliffe Gordon, Kate Ceberano, James Muller, Sarah McKenzie, Patti Austin, The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and many more.

Over the next two months Lachy, along with Harry Morrison on double bass and Patrick Danao on drums, will be touring Australia’s East Coast and New Zealand as The Lachy Hamilton Trio. For their debut New Zealand tour, the trio will perform new compositions and arrangements of jazz favourites alongside music from Lachy’s debut album ‘Alchemy’. Released in March 2019, the album was inspired by Paolo Coelho’s novel The Alchemist and features the talents of Australia’s brightest up and coming musicians. The album has been a labour of love and dedication, representing a highly significant milestone for Hamilton, in what promises to be a stellar career for this talented saxophonist and composer.

Members of The New South Wales Folk Federation have been involved in broadcasting folk music on 102.5 FM from the station’s earliest days at its original location in Crows Nest.

The first programs were presented by noted folklorist and performer, Warren Fahey. Warren presented an eclectic mix of folk, blues, bluegrass and what was later to become known as world music.

The program has undergone many changes over the years, for instance, in the late 1970’s it was the ‘'Fair Dinkum Folk Show". When the station moved to Chandos St in 1976, the program ran one night a week until midnight. It was presented by Graham McDonald and the late Huffy Greer. When the station broadcast 24 hours a day the folk show moved to the midnight-6am shift and Tony Suttor and the late Dermott Ryder joined the presenting team.

Shortly after, Dermott became the sole presenter and the program gained a new name – “Ryder round Folk” and moved back to a mid week evening time slot. It was during this time that I made a cameo ‘appearance’ as a member of the now defunct ‘Federation of English Ancient Rites’ (FEAR) when we presented the first (and perhaps only) Mummers Play live to air on Australian Radio.

Vexations and Devotions

Throughout history, music of all kinds has been used to bring people together in the shared contemplation of ideas. Whether in a ceremony or a concert, a regular event or a special occasion, music is the glue which binds our shared attention.

Music for choir is especially important in fulfilling this role. With so many performers and the combination of words and music, the expression of musical art becomes not just a presentation but an affirmation of our own humanity.

In the 21st century, this form continues to be important and on Sunday 19 April, Fine Music Sydney will broadcast Vexations and Devotions by the Australian composer Brett Dean. This piece is one that takes much from our contemporary life, including telephone calls, corporate platitudes and the bittersweet humour of one of Australia’s most beloved cartoonists, to create a moving work that is all about today as well as our musical past.

Vexations and Devotions came out of a project which focused upon the poetry of Michael Leunig and included Brett Dean, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Gondwana Voices. This initial project resulted in a work called Bell and Anti-Bell. A short time later, Dean expanded this initial work into a large scale choral-orchestral work with texts by not only Michael Leunig but Dorothy Porter as well. Bell and Anti-Bell was incorporated into the second movement of this new 30 minute cantata for multiple choirs with orchestra and electronic tape.

Vexations and Devotions is a piece that extends the listener into sound worlds that are unconventional, if not exactly new. The choirs are asked to mutter and mumble in the opening movement, while the ending sees a stark contrast between two different vocal textures; the clarity and brilliance of the children of the Gondwana Voices is balanced against the almost cynical tone of the weary adult choir. The orchestra, too, uses unusual sounds, sounds developed in the late 20th century, such as multiphonics and flutter-tongue in the winds, alongside extended string techniques and a battery of percussion that create extraordinary novel musical textures. The most striking part of the work is the second movement, in which a pre-recorded voice recites meaningless clichés in the style of an answering machine message. This corporate faux-concern contrasts boldly with the choir of children singing a lullaby of hope. As the movement unfolds, the recorded voice develops a note of desperation, as if the machine has realised the vacuous meaning of its words.

Along with Brett Dean’s Vexations and Devotions, the Sunday Special will bring you music from throughout the ages that expresses devotion as well as a couple of works, including Gian Carlo Menotti’s one act opera, named after Mr Bell’s ubiquitous invention, that necessary evil of modernity, the telephone.

CD REVIEWS

The Life of Riley is the seventh album from pianist/composer John Harkins. He's a hard-swinging post-bop pianist, possessing great time and an exciting drive, effortlessly taking the listener on his musical journey that he is creating. The trio is energized by bassist Brendan Clarke and the New York-based drummer Carl Allen.

Harkins can rip a standard with the best of them and it’s always an exciting ride transformed into a quartet on three tracks with Andrew Speight on alto saxophone bringing colour and emotion to the album. The two Harkin original compositions Space Available and the title track are

standouts and swing heartily with Harkin’s pianism while the whole band contributes fantastic musicianship throughout. Harkins clearly demonstrates why he's worthy of both the accolades he's already achieved and the greater exposure that he most certainly deserves.

Under Paris Skies is the latest release from British/Australian vocalist Hetty Kate. Her career spans from intimate clubs to over four years as vocalist with jazz luminary James Morrison. Hetty approaches her performance with a refined understatement that translates into a true affinity with melody and the composer's intentions. Her phrasings and embellishments are fluid and effortless. Down With Love, and Get Out of Town with just a bass accompaniment are standouts.

She's definitely done some homework on the great jazz singers of the past - especially Blossom Dearie. She is not only accompanied and portrayed superbly but her unique ability to leverage her vocal skills with the charts and the musicians, James Sherlock on guitar and Ben Hanlon on bass makes her performance and this recording a home run.

How did a single concert that almost didn't take place go on to become the biggest selling piano album in recorded history? Keith Jarrett arrived at Cologne’s Opera house exhausted and in considerable pain due to a bad back after a 5 hour, 600km journey from Zurich. He had been booked by 17-year-old jazz fan Vera Brandes to play the concert and refused to call it off.

Upon his arrival, he discovered that the concert grand piano he had requested wasn't available, and the only instrument at his disposal was a badly out-of-tune and somewhat damaged practice piano. After some persuasion from Brandes, the use of

a strong back brace and general tenacity, the piano was tuned as best it could be before Jarrett went on to give one of the performances of a lifetime.

The 1300 strong audience that night witnessed a wholy improvised and joyously beautiful jazz concert (complete with faulty sustain pedals) which took influences from folk, classical, Latin, gospel hymnals and even country music, all presented with an outpouring of emotional oneness between a man and a poorly prepared piano.

What’s the Sting in Scott Joplin?

Sydney Chamber Choir Pre-concert talk | 2.15pm Jakob Lehmann, conductor Celeste Lazarenko, soprano Andrew Goodwin, tenor James Ioelu, bass-baritone

Presented by Jeanie McIness.

Scott Joplin died over 100 years ago, never recorded apart from piano rolls, never saw his major work performed, never saw the fame he deserved and died bankrupt, discouraged and worn out. His passing also “heralded the end of this style in mainstream popular music”. Yet in more recent decades, Ragtime, and Scott Joplin in particular, have been rediscovered and appreciated. In this presentation we will examine the music of Joplin and explore the style of Ragtime and its other performers.
