this kind of power and flexibility.
USUALLY WHEN THERE has been
a price increase in top equipment, it's
because you now get a lot more for
your money. The Michell GyroDec
turntable illustrates this. When intro-
duced four years ago it was priced at
$1700. Since then, it has been refined
in several ways, including the addition
of twin-belt drive, revised springing
with new, heavy-duty suspension
bushes and improved damping, new
inverted-cone adjustable feet and a su-
perb new finish of black and gold. In
the meantime competing tumtables
have still failed to attain GyroDec per-
formance standards and their prices
have increased by substantially bigger
margins. The GyroDec is now $2365
— an increase which is considerably
smaller than the value of the im-
provements. Think about it if you're
in the market for the best possible
value in analogue record players.
SOME THINGS HAVE even gone
down! An example is the Grado Sig-
nature 8MR cartridge, which has im-
proved in inverse proportion to its
price. The original 8M was $475, a
small enough price for one of the
‘chosen few’ in cartridges. The Sig-
nature 8MR, a cartridge which most re-
viewers in America's ‘The Absolute
Sound’ magazine said they would take
to the proverbial desert island, now
costs $465, exceptional value in a re-
liable yet refined high-performa
product. You really must hegg

Be informed!
If you want to be in touch with the latest news and
developments in the world of hi-fi, get in touch
with us and we'll send you a complimentary copy
of our newsletter, Hi-Fi Update. It’s full of news,
views and the latest information — essential
reading if you're keen on good music in your
home.
Good though Hi-Fi Update is, it does have its limit-
ations. lt's certainly no substitute for the experi-
ence of real hi-fi, the pleasure of recordings and
broadcasts brought alive by selected top perform-
ance equipment installed and set up by experts.
At Bartlett Hi-Fi you choose from some of the
world's best brands ranging in price from the ridic-
ulously inexpensive (you'll be surprised how little
a true hi-fi system can cost) to the (justifiably)
very expensive. With just about everything worth-
while in between. You won't find anything, at any
price level, that fails to reach our high standards,
So you can be sure any component or system
you buy from us is second to none. Depend on it.
As well as an exemplary selection of products,
we also have first class facilities for auditioning
them. Our listening studios, all five of them, are
like rooms in homes. We even constructed them
from the same kinds of materials. It all makes
choosing the best equipment easier for you,
because you'll hear the differences. You'll end
up with a clear idea of how each product will
perform in your home. We'll also advise you on
matters of compatibility and suitable matching
with existing components, as well as suggesting
ways of bringing the utmost from your system.
That's very important information!
Needless to say, we back each product we sell
with a standard of service that others envy. We
deliver and install free of charge in the Sydney
metropolitan area and, if you know what you want
and can't visit us, use our prompt Australia-wide
mail-order service. We give our own warranty
cover and, if anything should happen to go wrong
(happily, a rare event) we repair it on the spot in
our own well-equipped workshop, with a minimum
of delay.
It all adds up to the most effective way for you to
get all your hi-fi needs. Don't forget to write, call
or phone for your free Hi-Fi Update. Incidentally,
the first of our 1987 music evenings takes place
during February so if you want to take part in what
will be a most interesting event, with some
exclusive new products on demonstration, let us
know. We'll get tickets to you at no charge, but
hurry because numbers are regrettably limited.

This Month
The shimmering picture on our front cover plays an exciting part
in the 1987 2M BS-FM subscription drive, which begins at 9am on
Saturday the 7th for 32 continuous hours. All listeners who respond
to the appeal have a chance of winning some tremendous prizes,
including a trip for two to Lord Howe Island with a week's
accommodation, courtesy of Pinetrees Lodge and Norfolk Airlines.
As well, though, Castaways is the theme of the appeal. Sixteen
2MBS presenters have been asked to play the kind of music they
would listen to having been castaway on a desert island of their
choice. Do some envisage a companion to share in their listening?
An Iron Age drinks trolley they can discover by accident? A secret
supply of electricity to power their gramophone? Be listening for
sixteen unique responses to the Desert Island dilemma.
All these sand-encrusted frolics help ensure that 2M BS attracts a
wider subscription audience. For more than a decade, the station
has made an invaluable contribution to Sydney’s musical life, and
needs the support of a continuing and growing band of listeners to
ensure that it can maintain and enrich the scope of its activities. So,
by responding to the Subscription Drive, you can play a vital part in
the musical life of the city, and win a trip to your own island
paradise.

HIGHLIGHTS
Phillip Sametz -
Schiller and Shakespeare Made
Vocal
Two great meetings of operatic and
dramatic minds occur on 2MBS this
month in the shape of Verdi’s I Mas-
nadieri (based on Schillers play The
Robbers) and Thomas’ Hamlet (based,
it seems, on the bubble gum cards based
on the Reader’s Digest condensed ver-
sion of the play). Whereas Thomas’ work
was an instant success at its Paris Opera
premiere in 1868, Verdi’s opera, written
for London in 1847, was described by
The Athanaeum as “the worst opera
which has been given in our time at Her
Majesty’s Theatre. Verdi is finally
rejected. The field is left open for an
Italian composer.”
History has reversed these decisions,
though, as interest in early Verdi
continues unabated, while only the
advocacy of Sherill Milnes and Richard
Bonynge has brought Hamlet out of the
graveyard (pun intended). Milnes it is
who plays the Prince of Denmark in the
work on Wednesday the 25th at 8pm,
with Joan Sutherland as Ophelia and
James Morris as Claudius. Verdi's
Schiller adaptation can be heard on
Wednesday 11 at 8pm, with Montsarrat
Caballe, Carlo Bergonzi, Ruggero Rai-
mondi and Piero Cappuccilli in the
leading roles. All I know is that Charles
and Mary Lamb make no mention of
Hamlet's drinking song.
Beloved Mozartians
The music of Mozart has attracted some
of this century's finest musicians, and
John Holmes will present a cross-section
of this repertoire as they recorded it in
his on-going series Mozart, The Great
Interpreters, featuring performances by
Serkin, Klemperer, Lili Kraus and
Beecham. Catch Amadeus fever at 9am
every Monday this month.
Earthed and Everything
A brief reminder about the premiere of
Power Point on 2MBS this month. The
first four programmes, which can be
heard every Wednesday at 9am, will
feature interviews with Sir Hermann
Black, Kenneth Tribe, Margaret Whit-
lam and Robert Grant. See the editorial
article in this Guide for further details.
Max Pitches for Bax
Despite the increased interest taken in
Arnold Bax's music since his death,
concert managements still give him the
cold shoulder and reviewers can write,
*Bax is the great waffler of music" (as
happened in a national magazine only
recently). Max Keogh is not deterred by
such symptoms of philistinism, however,
and presents three of the composer's
works on Friday 6 at 8.30pm. While very
little of Bax is familiar, these three pieces
may never have been; the Symphonic
Scherzo of 1917, Northern Ballad no 2
of 1934 and the Symphony, Spring Fire,
of 1913 are all conducted by Vernon
Handley, who introduces the last work
himself. Let's hear the SSO play one of
the symphonies is what I say.
Fresh as Paint
Records are mortal things — yesterday's
best-seller is marked down to $5 at the
second-hand shop tomorrow and comes
with free dishes. All too soon, discs are
deleted before you know they're worth
buying, and sometimes you buy ones
only worth melting into flower pots. But
wait — don't end it all! Ray Byron is
near. Through the good offices of Argus
Music, he will present some of the
company's latest releases in Records of
Today, at 9am every Tuesday this
month, featuring new recordings of
Domenico Scarlatti, Mahler, Janacek,
Borodin, Chabrier and others.
A Musica Viva Quartet
Four splendid concerts come to us from
Musica Viva this month, two each by
Trio di Milano and the Ridge Quartet.
Recorded live at the Seymour Centre last
year, you can hear them at 8pm each
Thursday. The repertoire is as diverse
and exciting as you would expect.
Such was Hiawatha's Wedding
It seems no music by black composers
has made its way into the central
repertoire. Coleridge-Taylors Hiawa-
tha's Wedding Feast used to be popular
with choral societies, but the music of
Chevalier de Saint-Georges and Nath-
aneal Dett (including an oratorio called
The Ordéring of Moses) has been swept
into the garbage pail of time. Bob
Goodnow attempts to repair the damage
in 20th Century Americans, which
features works by William Grant Still,
Ulysses Kay and William Dawson. Be
listening at 9am on Thursday 5.
Good Things Following Glass
John Adams' music is an extension and,
in some ways, re-think, of Philip Glass’
minimalist ideas. The splendours of his
Harmonium (1981), a setting of John
Donne and Emily Dickinson poems for
chorus and orchestra, are many: his
Shaker Loops (1982-83) for string orches-
tra also has dazzling things to offer.
Barrie Marchant will present it on
Wednesday 11 at 9am.
A Lutoslawski Showcase
The work of Polish composer Witold
Lutoslawski is featured in two pro-
grammes this month. Working in a
variety of forms and styles, he has
become one of the most prominent
composers in Europe. You can hear him
conduct his music on Saturday 14 and
28 at 10pm.
The Mystery of the
Soviet Composer
Despite the critical storm that erupted
after the publication of his dictated
memoirs in 1979, Shostakovitch’s late
mastery of chamber music is still to be
closely scrutinised. In Arthur Carter’s 12
The Composer Unmasked programmes,
the first two of which can be heard on
Sunday 15 and 22 at 10pm, a variety
of his works for smaller forces can be
heard in ‘creator’ performances by the
Borodin Quartet, the composer himself
and his son Maxim.
Terpsichore Lives
Having neatly pressed your tutu and
bought a new pair of point shoes, you
will be ready for the ballet matinees
2MBS has in store this month. The
complete Nutcracker ballet of Tchai-
kovsky can be heard on Monday 16 at
lpm with the LSO under Andre Previn
(have the watering can ready for the
Waltz of the Flowers). Ballet companies
feel at liberty to change the story of Act
II, but you can keep the original in mind
at all times on this occasion. Delibes’
Sylvia also leaps onto the airwaves, at
3pm on Tuesday 24, replete with her
Procession of Bacchus and other famous
bits. Richard Bonynge conducts.

Five Composers are a
Real Handful
It is rumoured that Borodin was known
as ‘the index finger’ and Mussorgsky ‘the
thumb’ of the so-called ‘Mighty Handful’
(not really, but). If this is so, Cesar Cui
remains the pinky. One of his few works
to see the gramophone horizon, The
Suite Concertante, will be featured in
Marie-Louise Stenstroem’s programme
devoted to the work of the five Russian
composers known as the ‘Kuchka’. One
work each by the above, and Rimsky-
Korsakov and Balakirev, comprises this
survey, which can be heard on Friday
27 at 4pm. Next month brings a survey
of five fat feline composers called “The
Mighty Footfall'.
How Unsweetened It Is
Forget the Flight of the Bumblebee, The
Bee's Wedding, The Robin's Return, Bird
Songs at Eventide, The Glow-Worm and
other musical sweeties. Martin Davidson
is into serious stuff in his programme
Short But Not Necessarily Sweet, an
hour of brief, pungent pieces that won't
set you whistling. Webern's Five Pieces
for Orchestra, Op 10 and Varese's
Hyperprism are no sweeter than Conlon
Nancarrow's Study no 36 for player
piano; you can hear these and more on
Monday 18 at 11pm. Insomniacs need
not bother, because it won't send them
to sleep either.
Cast Adrift in an Open Boat
What would you take to a desert island?
Smedley's ‘How to Make a Colour
Television Set out of Seaweed and
Coconuts', third edition? A raft? Vege-
mite? I once found an old copy of a
children's Robinson Crusoe ‘in words of
one syllable’. The authors didn't know
what to do about ‘Robinson’, ‘Friday’
and ‘Crusoe’, though, and left them as
they were. I don't think [d take this
along. Anyway, 16 2MBS presenters will
be telling all about their cerebral palm-
fringed experiences in Castaways, the
Stations subscription appeal for 1987 on
the 7th and 8th. You'll find further
details on the front page.

Echoes of 1986 Music Festivals
Among the Lucerne Festival’s splendid
offerings, nothing can compare with the
concert of Karajan with the Berlin
Philharmonics. When the diminutive,
very frail maestro waved his magic
wand, the concert became a celebration,
with the Orchestra and the gala-attired
public completely under his spell. Join
in our celebration of the event on Feb
23 at 3pm.
Ashkenazy Concert — Pianists of
Renown
Vladimir Ashkenazy has long reached
the zenith of pianism. In Lucerne, where
he lives with his family, he is admired
as an artist and loved as a human being.
During the Festival, he gave a Gala
Recital for the benefit of the proposed
new Concert Hall. Tickets for his
concerts are almost impossible to obtain;
but YOU can hear him on Saturday,
February 14 at 8-10pm, in the Pianists
of Renown series.
The Volunteer
Scene
Now that the worst of your holiday
excesses are behind you and the New
Year vigour is filling your arteries and
brain cells, we'd like you to divert some
of it in our direction. If you’re not quite
sure how you can help, ring us (439 4777)
then see us, and we'll surely tell you.
One of our more specific needs these
days is for a publicity officer (even a
corporal will do) who will prepare press
releases promoting our concerts and
special broadcasts — in fact anything
that will give us 'good prices. PR is so
pervasive in our society, there must
surely be someone out there among our
subscribers who could do a bit for their
favourite radio station, yes?
We're also on the lookout for someone
with at least a modicum of talent and
enthusiasm for fund-raising. Fund-
raisers (who are good at it) enjoy a
sublime state of inviolability in all
voluntary bodies. They can be petulant,
abrasive, inconsiderate, vile-tempered,
sleazy, graceless and horrible, but if they
can raise money all is forgiven. So here
is your refuge if you're like that. On the
other hand if you're sweet and lovable
and warm-hearted we'll be able to smile
upon you without twisting our insides.
Any takers?

Festivals
Celebrations
In 1988, the Australian Society for Music
Education (ASME) will celebrate its 21st
Birthday. The Society was established
on a national basis in 1967, following
discussions between State representa-
tives after a successful UNESCO Con-
ference on Music Education that had
been held in Sydney during 1965.
The inaugural meeting of ASME in
NSW was held on October 14, 1967,
convened by Mr Terence Hunt, then
Inspector in Charge of Music in the NSW
Education Department. The first Chair-
man, elected at that meeting, was
Professor Donald Peart, first occupant
of the Chair of Music at Sydney
University.
ASME is organised in State Chapters,
with a National Executive and a
National Council in which all States are
represented. Members join and pay their
fees to the Chapter of the State in which
they live.
The aim of the Society, as expressed
in the Constitution, are:
a. to advance music education;
b. to promote music and the apprecia-
tion of music;
c. to encourage musical composition
and to assist young composers in
creating music for educational purposes.
ASME is the sole Australian affiliate
of the International Society for Music
Education (ISME), and already one
ISME Conference has been held in
Australia (Perth, 1974). The 18th Con-
ference of ISME is to take place in
Canberra in 1988 (July 17-23).
ASME holds a National Conference
every two to three years, in which
overseas musicians and music educators
usually participate, as well as Austral-
ians in this field. Each State Chapter
also organises its own conferences,
seminars, lectures and workshops on
various aspects of music education, in
furtherance of the Society's aims.
Members also receive issues of the ISME
Journal and ASME supplements, as well
as “Music Forum," a paper produced
quarterly in NSW, and other ASME
publications are available to members
at reduced cost.
If you are interested in the advance-
ment of music education, JOIN ASME
NOW in time to celebrate 21 years of
endeavour with an international
Conference.

Summer is Festival time in Europe.
When the great concert halls and opera
houses close for the holiday period, many
orchestras and performers head towards
picturesque spots in the Alps and on the
lakes where the music festivals are held.
Lucerne, Gstaad, Montreux, in Switzer-
land, ancient Verona and Stresa in Italy,
and Bregenz on Lake Constance, are
some of the venues for festive music-
making.
In 1986, I visited some of these
festivals, stopping first at Lucerne.
Lucerne, a Swiss town steeped in history,
is situated at the head of the Four-
Cantones Lake, and surrounded by a
fascinating panorama of the Alps.
Known to have existed from the early
Middle Ages, Lucerne is adorned by
medieval monuments: two picturesque
wooden bridges, the Water Tower (1300),
old fortifications, walls and turrets. The
Renaissance and Baroque periods are
remembered by an array of well-
preserved churches — reminders of
Lucerne's Italian connections.
Trade and the crafts have always
flourished here. Over the centuries they
have contributed to Lucerne's growth in
riches and importance. Richard Wagner
who settled in a suburban estate called
Tribschen, in 1886, had reputedly
exclaimed: *Nothing will make me leave
this place" He was not the only one.
Tourists flock here every year in growing
numbers. Ín August and September, all
come to hear the now famous Music
Festival.
The idea of an International Festival
of Music in Lucerne was born shortly
before WWII. Was it to be a Wagner
Festival? (Tribschen became Wagner's
Museum in 1933), or another Salzburg?
In the end, on the initiative of the Swiss
conductor Ernest Ansermet, a new
concept was adopted: a Swiss Festival
Orchestra was formed from the best
Swiss players, to perform together with
renowned international soloists and
conductors’ music of highest calibre.
From 1941 on, (with the exception of
1942) the Music Festival in Lucerne has
become an annual event.
The 1986 Lucerne Festival was ded-
icated to Romanticism in Music, and the
three exponents of the movement whose
anniversaries occurred this year: Carl
Maria von Weber (1786-1826), an early
Romantic; Franz Liszt (1811-1886), at the
very apex; and Othmar Schoeck, a Swiss
composer at the tail-end of Romanticism,
and not well known outside his country.
The main concerts were focused on those
three men. Special tributes were paid to
Festival Strings Lucerne, which is the
Festival’s orchestra (under Rudolf Baum-
gartner), as it was its 30th anniversary;
to Paul Sacher, who was one of the
mainsprings of the Festival (just turned
80), and also to the pianist Edwin
Fischer (1886-1960), a staunch supporter
of the Festival, on the centenary of his
birth.
The themes of the Festival were
superbly realised. The concerts were
performed by famous soloists and an
array of great orchestras. Ashkenazy,
Barenboim, Bolet, Frager, Schneider-
hahn, Suk, the organist, Daniel Chor-
zempa, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and a
legion of others were there. The Berlin
Philharmonic under Karajan, the Phil-
harmonia of London with Sinopoli,
Orchestre de Paris with Barenboim,
ес Philharmonic with Neumann, —
you name it, they were all there.
Performances took place in the Kunst-
haus (Concert Hall), and in the park, in
front of the famous Lion Monument —
the symbol of the city; some played, and
sang in churches, some in hotels. There
were choirs, solo singers, operas and
oratorios, besides the expected sym-:
phony and chamber concerts. Chamber
ensembles included Musica Anüqua,
and Musica Nova; special concerts were
performed for the disabled and the
seniors. An exhibition was dedicated to
Liszt and to Schoeck. Masterclasses were
held for pianists, violinists and cellists,
and it was inspiring to find, that the
legendary pianist, Mieczuslaw Hors-
zowski, at 96, came from the USA to
perform and to teach. Films. lectures and
talks by conductors, took place. And
there was great excitement in the air,
when the various events took place, and
masses of people, often in evening attire,
rushed along the lake in the same
direction
This cornucopia of delights will rever-
berate tautology around the world,
reaching out to Sydney, and to 2MBS.

Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. DGG.
The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra’s
strength of musical personality makes
each of its records a memorable expe-
rience. Conductorless it may be, but the
strength of the ensemble’s collective
musical imagination is never in doubt.
The current disc does not lack imag-
ination, but, for once, the group’s
personality appears to have met music
of a temperament it cannot assimilate
consistently. There is no ‘correct’ way
to play these pieces, though, and many
listeners will be pleased that a non-
English ensemble of this quality should
make its ideas about them plain on a
major label.
The group’s most obvious character-
istic here, which I haven’t noticed on its
other records, is its frequent use of
portamento. It is heartening to hear this
often pleasing, human effect being
employed so elegantly, far more so than
on many records of the pre-war period
when it was standard practice, but, in
the Tallis Fantasia particularly, it
vulgarises the music. ‘Clean’ playing
seems to be a requirement rather than
an option here, if the widely spread
chords for the double orchestra are to
have their ‘cathedral’ effect.
The Introduction and Allegro is
splendidly played. The music and the
OCO’s approach have a great deal in
common, and this is a performance of
fibrous, romantic personality that yet
contains an unforced capacity for
meditation remarkable in a directorless
performance.
The outer movements of the Serenade
are surely too deliberate, not in speed but
in the consistent ‘lashings of bow.’ On
paper, the music’s wistfulness is touch-
ing because Elgar was able to infuse it
with light, but the curtains are well and
truly drawn here. The Greensleeves
Fantasia suffers from a similar problem;
the tune, with its ‘walking’ flavour, is
played with a sternness that robs it of
pace.
The overall intimacy of the ensemble
may bother listeners used to these pieces
in, say, Barbirolli’s readings with the
Sinfonia of London, but the opportunity
to hear the different strands of each work
in such sharp outline must be welcome.
The close miking is not flattering,
however, and I suspect it has given the
OCO a more slender sound than it
possesses in the flesh. Much of this music
needs to be observed in landscape
fashion, which is not possible when it
has already been closely scrutinised for
you. PS

Record collectors of my vintage —
V.O., ГП admit — might recall the
excitement when the plum-label HMV
discs of Walton's Belshazzar's Feast
appeared during the height of WWII. In
those grim days it was a fantastic tonic:
there was the music itself, of course —
a major, modern choral work by one of
the most prominent British composers,
and it was also a remarkable technical
achievement for a recording in its day
— ‘state of the art,’ as the jargon goes.
There have been a number of record-
ings of the work since, each having its
merits. The most recent was Solti’s with
the London Philharmonic Orchestra et
al, and I understand that Previn will be
in charge of a new recording. Walton’s
original recording of one of his most
familiar works will not then be for
anyone looking for a hi-fi spectacular,
like Solti’s.
It is a ‘historical’ record, and has a
unique value, for one reason that the
composer himself is presenting his own
interpretation of his music. On the rest
of the disc are some of Walton’s other
recordings of his own music, and in the
case of Facade it too was a celebrated
set of 78rpm discs, dating back to 1938.
The EMI engineers have managed the
transfers extremely well, and it is
interesting to note that the original
` producer of the records was the famed
Walter Legge.
'The record then is more than just a
good performance of the scores — it is
a valuable historical document. It raises
a fascinating question: are composers
necessarily the most effective interpre-
ters of their own music. Walton was not
a conductor per se, as were Mahler and
Strauss, or even Vaughan Williams,
Britten or Elgar; Elgar was, for a season,
conductor of the London Symphony
Orchestra. But Walton did conduct his
own music from time to time, and as
one can judge from this record, he did
it very competently too.
There are no records of Mahler con-
ducting his own music, but there are
plenty of Strauss, Elgar, Rachmaninov,
Hindemith, Stravinsky, Britten,
Copland, Henze, Boulez, and others.
Having listened to most of these records
carefully and having compared them
with recordings by great and not-so-
great conductors, I am not convinced
that the composers are necessarily better
equipped to interpret their own music,
at least if judged by results.
Some composers were incompetent
conductors, and they were the first to
point out that it was not their business.
Surely one has to concede that the
profession of conducting — of persuad-
ing, or coercing, a hundred diverse
instrumentalists to reproduce the aural
image in the conductor’s mind — does
not come naturally just because the
person concerned wrote the music in the
first place. But, let's hasten to add,
Walton was really a good interpreter of
his own music.
Being an enthusiast for historical
recordings and for studying how com-
posers interpret their own music, I
welcomed this record and found it
fascinating. You will too, if you have the
same interest. But I add the reservation
for the general record buyer, this record
is not really the one to buy if you are
seeking a fine up-to-date version of the
music. JH

6 2MBS-FM PROGRAMME GUIDE FEBRUARY 1987
JAZZ RECORDS
Joya Jenson
The first meeting of the US singer and
the Canadian Big Band has resulted in
the 24-track digital recording, MEL
TORME/ROB McCONNELL AND
THE BOSS BRASS (Concord Jazz
L38649 — Festival Records). The good
news is that the album has been locally
released and finds the smooth-voiced
singer and the 22-piece aggregation
sharing rapport and musicality in
excellent arrangements from the
McConnell pen. The band consists of top
Canadian studio musicians, including
Moe Koffman (reeds), Guido Basso
(trumpet and fluegelhorn) and Ed
Bickert (guitar), who have recorded in
their own right. And with the mellow
Mel, who is almost always in good voice,
the recording has much to commend.
This said, I must confess to some
disappointing moments. I would have
preferred A House Is Not A Home taken
a tad higher (a semitone would do) and
the messy end of Don’Cha Go Мау Mad
tidied up. The 12-minute-plus Duke
Ellington medley seems strangely
pedestrian, although worth hearing, if
only to savour Torme’s gorgeous
interpretation of Mood Indigo. Also
impressive in the ballad department is
his version of Kurt Weill’s September
Song. Although the definitive recording
of Cow Cow Boogie belongs to Ella Mae
Morse, Torme’s treatment, along with
the backing, of this early 1940s evergreen
is engagingly different. There is also
good Torme scatting on some of the
tunes, and a humorous touch is added
when Monk’s I Need You is introduced
in the coda of The Song Is You.
An interesting and swinging Compact
Disc comes from THE WOLVERINES
BIG BAND Shanghai Shuffle (ProJazz
CDJ 618 — Avan-Guard). Although
there is nothing innovative here, there
is certainly authenticity combined with
fine articulation and attack from
ensemble and soloists, as the dynamic
18-ріесе band plays arrangements and
transcriptions of well-loved themes from
the past. The precision and power of the
Wolverines is heard on the transcription
of the Fletcher Henderson title track
(Henderson recorded this in 1934) as well
as Don Redman's Chant Of The Weed,
Joe ‘King’ Olivers Dippermouth Blues,
Count Basies One O'Clock Jump and
Eddie Durham's The Lunceford Special.
Another splendid transcription is that
2MBS-FM PROGRAMME GUIDE FEBRUARY 1987
of Johnny Come Lately, the infrequently
heard tune that Billy Strayhorn wrote
and arranged for the Duke Ellington
Orchestra in the early 1940s.
Arrangements and transcriptions on
this completely digital recording are
mostly by members of the band, which
is led by drummer Brett Forberg.
Keith Jarrett
A vocal album that extends from
Country through pop and traditional
music to jazz, is appropriately titled
Voicings RIO NIDO (ProJazz CDJ 622
— Avan-Guard) Rio Nido comprises
singers Prudence Johnson, Tim Sparks,
Roger Hernandez and guest vocalist
David Birget, with the backing of a ten-
piece band. Not all the personnel of the
band are on every track, but there is a
good sprinkling of stimulating solos
throughout the repertoire, which
includes Hank Williams’ composition,
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and a
beautifully harmonised rendering of
Auld Lang Syne. Those jazz fans who
appreciate the art of vocalese will enjoy
the group's treatment of Duke
Ellington's In A Mellow Tone. Based on
the famous old Ellington recording of
this popular tune, it has ingenious lyrics
written by Jon Hendricks (but not
credited here), and is in fact the same
vocalese version sung by Lambert,
Hendricks & Ross. And there's more
vocalese on the old warhorse that is
Lionel Hampton's Flying Home.
Prudence Johnson, little known here,
has a lovely voice, clear and tuneful,
possesses good diction, and is devoid of
irritating mannerisms.
First came Standards Volumes I and
II, (both reviewed on these pages) and
now there's Standards Live (ECM 1317
— Carinia Records) from pianist KEITH
JARRETT, with the same cohorts,
bassist Gary Peacock and drummer
Jack DeJohnette. Beautifully recorded in
July 1985 this is indeed a worthy
addition to the series, and leaves one still
hoping for more. Here again is the well-
knit interplay between the Trio,
particularly sparkling soloing from the
pianist — plus the inevitable Jarrett
grunts and yelps of delight along the
way. There is something to sing about,
as Jarrett continues in the top form he
consistently displayed on the previous
albums of standards. He gets a special
bouquet from me for including Alec
Wilder’s The Wrong Blues among the
three well-known and three infrequently
performed tunes on this LP. Devastating
Jarrettesque pointillisüc single liners
abound, and there is some specially
dynamic animation from DeJohnette on
The Way You Look Tonight and Falling
In Love With Love.

SIR HERMANN BLACK
A.C., M.Ec., Hon.D.Litt., F.C.I.S.
The Chancellor of Sydney University
since 1970, Sir Hermann has played a
significant role in the history of broad-
casting in this country, spanning 60
years. On the first occasion he went to
air there was, to use his own expression,
“a thing like a pepper pot stuck up on
a pole,” (the microphone), an occasion
that he still remembers and describes in
detail. He is still a regular news com-
mentator for the ABC. His involvement
with music goes back to his school days
when, as a schoolboy, “Dags” Kilgour
of Fort Street Boys High fame intro-
duced him to chamber music. Nellie
Melba and her accompanist flautist,
John Lemmone, were family friends.
This eminent scholar with a first-class
honours degree in economics and Uni-
versity medalist (inter alia) is a voracious
talker, but describes for 2MBS how he
has been struck dumb on three occasions
— and how he caught the motar board
of an attractive young female graduate
at first slip. Sir Hermann is interviewed
by Belinda Webster on Power Point at
9.30am on Wednesday, February 4.
KENNETH W. TRIBE А.о.
Ken Tribe needs no introduction to the
musical fraternity of this country. In the
tribute published for the Vice-Regal Gala
Performance in his honour in May 1986
it was said: ^Kenneth Tribe has been
a wise and potent influence in the
cultural life of the nation as well as, more
particularly, in the history and contin-
uing vitality of Musica Viva. We are all
greatly in his debt." These words
encapsulate part of his contribution in
1982 (AO). As well as talking to 2MBS
about his well-known association with
Musica Viva (37 years culminating in
his appointment as Chairman of the
National Board and now Patron and
Honorary Music Director) he discusses,
among other things, Australian Opera
problems, national orchestras, musical
appreciation for the deaf and his favour-
ite Bach chorale. Power Point puts him
to air on Wednesday February 11 at
9.30am. Make sure you are plugged in.
MRS MARGARET
WHITLAM
Many persons in Australia and in other
countries know Margaret Whitlam for
her involvement in a wide range of
cultural activities — in opera (Chairman
ofthe Opera Conference of Australia and
New Zealand, and now on the Advisory
Committee of the Australian Opera), in
the theatre (President of the Australian
Centre of the International Theatre
wealth Women's Association and the
UNESCO Community Service. Many
will recall her prowess as a swimmer
(school, university and state level). Very
few know of her success as a foundation
member of the SUWANS. These matters
and her exposure to music while stati-
oned in Paris are the subject of discus-
sion on Power Point on Wednesday
February 18, at 9.30am when this
programme presents Mrs Whitlam
interviewed by Belinda Webster.
ROBERT A. GRANT вка,
Dip.Ed., B.Ed., M.A.C.E.
Music in your life and work. This is what
Power Point explores with the headmas-
ter of one of Australia's best-known
schools. Robert Grant has been head-
master of Shore (Sydney Church of
England Grammar School, North Syd-
ney) since 1984. It is a school with a long
history of emphasis placed on team
sports, especially rowing, rugby and
cricket, as being part of the complete
educational process for boys. Mr Grant
is a great lover of classical music, so
what does he see as the role of music
in the education of boys? What can and
should be done to resist any attitude in
boys that singing is cissy and that music
is for the birds? How do you justify an
enormous school expenditure on musical
instruments to equip, for example, a
school orchestra, when installing com-
puters is in vogue. Music is very much
a part of life for Mr Grant and his family.
Connect with Power Point on Wednes-
day, February 25 at 9.30am when you
will hear Belinda Webster interview Mr
Grant.

Robert Davidovici (violin) in his
October letter writes that “the
months of October and November are
a very busy period . . . six Beethoven
concerto performances, two Tchai-
kovsky, two Barbers, one Vivaldi
Four Seasons and two recitals. In
December I am doing my first com-
mercial recording (all unrecorded
American works — interesting,
appealing and fun)... I am looking
forward to being in Australia in July
and August 87, 15 concerts, six of
them in Sydney (Bernstein Serenade,
Tchaikovsky concerto, and recital.)
He continues that the family is well
and busy, and expressed regret that
“Т cannot make Roger Woodward’s
New York Philharmonic perfor-
mance as I’m doing the Four Seasons
and the Ravel Tzigane in Sioux City
at that time.”
A letter from Gabby Mulcahy
(French horn, trombone) reports in
some weeks of considerable activity
“to Switzerland and Italy. Michael’s
orchestra (Koeln) was playing at the
Luzern festival so we spent three days
there, then drove through the Alps to
Milano where we stocked up on scores
of Italian operas . . . We then went on
to Verona... though the opera sea-
son was over . . . and then to Venezia,
and north through the Dolomites . . .
So beautiful, and the weather was
perfect the whole time we were away
— ‘30’ and sunny."
Lyn Brown-Parsons (harpsi-
chord) writes that she is now estab-
lished in Amsterdam to continue
study of the harpsichord. Each week
she has 1'^ hours of lesson time, three
hours of technique, 1% hours of
chamber music, and one hour of
continuo playing, *a full schedule
andit certainly takes all week to have
things ready for the nextlesson." Lyn
continues that she had had “two
wonderful months over summer. The
Brugge Competition was a highlight
for me. Harpsichordists by the mile
— in fact 70! — and fortepianists too.
Several Aussies, but the nice thing
was that Geoffrey (Lancaster) came
equal first in the fortepiano with a
Dutchman. Nick Parle was the
second youngest competitor and got
into the semi-finals . . . I did a course
with Kenneth Gilbert in a beautiful
old Italian style French mansion just
south of Nantes. Lots of other instru-
Jottings from Betsy Brown
ments to play with and some lovely
concerts at the end. In Italy before
that, I spent a week with many of the
leading fortepianists in Europe —
master classes, lectures and concerts,
where I learned so much. This week-
end (time of writing November 2) I’m
in Paris, assisting with the making
of a record on the oldest French
fortepiano in the world, here at the
Paris Musee des Instruments Musi-
cales. It's very exciting. I had just one
hour alone in the museum to work on
their three magnificent double-
manual originals, but have been
invited back to play some more."
Marina Marsden (violin) in
Vienna reports that her new flat-mate
is Shelley Hogg, from Perth, who
came over to Sydney to study singing.
Marina writes that she (Marina) “has
been enjoying my lessons with
Schulz . . . and played the first move-
ment of the Kreutzer sonata in the
Klassenabend ... and had a lot of
friends there, including Shelley,
Martin Cooke, and Ros Segal." Mar-
ina was also very excited about two
concerts she had attended, one by the
Chamber Orchestra of Europe, con-
ducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt,
and consisting “оѓ young players, all
excellent, who are entirely from
European countries. The other con-
cert was the Alban Berg Quartet who
played Mendelssohn E flat and the
Mozart Viola Quintet, and an inter-
esting modern work." Early in
November Marina and other students
of Schulz were “to play some solo
concerts in Upper Austria (three or
four concerts) where it will be enjoy-
able, as it's a beautiful area." Mar-
ina's sister Justine (viola) in Berlin,
writes that she will be spending
Christmas with Marina in Vienna
"where we will be rehearsing (with
David Wickham) our trios and duos
(and solos) for our coming trip back
home to Sydney in February."
Jill Pereira-Zai (violin, guitar) writes
from Bloomington, USA, that though
her music-making "has suffered some-
what since our small son, David, was
born in February" she is “beginning to
find timenow to play again. At the Music
School I am teaching a children's
programme in guitar and just loving
it..." Sulai (her husband) “is teaching
at Indiana University and playing
concerts with great success."
Anthea Scott-Mitchell (cello) writes
from Rome that “I’m comfortably settled
in my little apartment, and work-wise
I will begiven a permanent position with
the St Cecilia Orchestra. My piano
quartet is going ahead in leaps and
bounds. We went together to Spain for
chamber music lessons with Giuranna
(violist) ... and (he has agreed) to give
us monthly lessons in Cremona this
year. We made our debut at the end of
the course (in Spain), playing the entire
Brahms G minor Quartet, and it was
really an overwhelming and exciting
success ... and we were immediately
given offers for concerts in Spain next
year."
Andrew Greene (conductor, piano)
writes that his work with the Opera in
Adelaideis “predictably hectic. I’m about
to embark on Figaro ... (with) a good
cast of the best young Australian singers
combined with (some) of the local singers
who are extremely good. It will be nice
to complete the Figaro cycle after having
done The Barber for the Lyric Opera of
Queensland earlier this year ... I’ve
established a trainee course for five
‘cadets’ who get paid a basic salary and
get trained in repertoire, languages, etc.,
(and) act as understudies and chorus and
play small comprimario roles when
appropriate ... While here in Adelaide

Chapoff, Greg and Paul Blackman,
Graham Abbott, and Howard Parkin-
son, and, later in the year, ГЇЇ be doing

recorded."
Dian Booth (violin), resting from
her music at the moment, is currently
in America, specifically in Seattle at
time of writing. She is "spending
quite a lot of time learning more about
the American Indians just now ...I
am so excited, particularly by the
myths, legends and attitudes to
healing. I’ve also found a superb book
on their music, of which not much has

Orpheus Meets
Bacchus
Fred Blanks
There is nothing unusual about finding
the names of Beethoven, Bartok, Deb-
ussy, even Sammartini on a printed
programme for a string quartet recital.
But it is definitely unusual to find the
same printed programme listing 1983
Pinot Noir Shiraz, 1982 Cabernet Sau-
vignon, 1985 Chardonnay wood-aged,
and 1983 Vintage Port. It happened
when Orpheus met Bacchus at the
Huntington Winery during the last
November and first December weekends.
Moreover, the same programme also
listed a selection of terrines on rye bread,
all prepared by Irene Tognetti, mother
of well-known violinist Richard Tognetti.
The two weekends combined vintage
and culinary skills with music from the
Sydney String Quartet, the Sydney
Ensemble, pianist Joshua Tsai, the
Huntington Chamber Orchestra led by
Richard Tognetti, harpsichordist Nicho-
las Parle and others. The list sounds very
familiar to 2MBS-FM listeners, though
when any of them perform in Studio C,
the best we can hope for, apart from
competent performances, is cheese and
cask wine.
The 1986 Huntington Estate music
weekends, again organised, with an
efficiency that many a professional
Sydney promoter might well emulate,
attracted audiences exceeding 220 for
some concerts, requiring a major effort
in temporarily moving casks, barrels,
crates and wine-making machinery from
the venue in the storage and working
shed. Among the people involved was
a camera team making a 30-minute film
for TV, to be shown in the bicentenary
year, in a series called Australia — Take
A Bow.

Share the secret
of Vogel’s
mixed grain bread...
31 years ago Alfred Vogel, the eminent Swiss
nutritionist, created a unique bread. Shortly
afterwards Vogel’s Mixed Grain Bread was baked
in Australia.
Right from the start we have been eating Vogel’s
bread because it tastes so good.
Today, while we are more concerned about
what we eat, we still like our food to taste good.
Look at the list of wholesome ingredients on the red
and green wrapper and you'll know why Vogel's is good
for you too. Vogel's is high in dietary fibre and light in
salt.
There is only one traditional mixed grain bread
in Australia—Vogel’s. The secret is the original
Vogel recipe.

Bequests and
Endowments
Many people in Sydney would like to
contribute to the support for fine music
in New South Wales but find themselves
constrained by current commitments.
For those music lovers, a bequest is a
way of making that contribution, and
ensuring the continuance of the activ-
ities of the Music Broadcasting Society
of New South Wales Co-operative Ltd.
The Music Broadcasting Society of
New South Wales Co-operative Limited
is a privately administered and young
concern. There are, therefore, no large
bequests from the past from which to
derive additional income.
2MBS is not supported by taxes or
State contributions, except for compar-
atively small sums for special projects.
Membership subscriptions are com-
pletely inadequate to support the full
extent of MBS activities.
2MBS-FM is far more than a broad-
casting station — it is a civic force in
the community and recognised as the
agency responsible for FM broadcasts
of fine music in New South Wales. MBS
requires continuous additions to its
income from endowments and bequests.
Please remember the Music Broadcast-
ing Society of New South Wales Co-
operative Limited in your will.
Enquiries may be made in writing in
the strictest confidence to the Secretary
of the Society at 76 Chandos Street, St
Leonards 2065.
2MBS-FM Special
Service to the blind
or print-
handicapped.
We realise that the Monthly Radio
Guide can be of only very limited
use to those who are Blind or Print-
handicapped.
We therefore provide a special
Tape/Cassette edition each month
through the Royal Blind Society
Sachet mailing system; three hours
of detailed information with
readings from editorial and
articles. Please enquire about this
service if a colleague has need of it.

Oliver who helped him to become a master of
plunger-muted playing. Guarante's
outstanding lead and solo work contributes
much to The Georgians' individual sound in

Gardens Orchestras. The Georgians were the
first 'band within a band' on 78 rpm discs and

The featured musician this evening is guitarist
Joe Pass, the oldest of four children, spending
most of his youth in the Italian area of
Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He started playing
the guitar at the age of nine and received his
first lessons from friends of his father, and
with great encouragement from his father. He
took weekly lessons and spent most of his
spare time practising and playing, and by the
time he was fourteen he was already working
with local bands.

African music allsorts from bush ballads to

thousand styles (including certain neo-African
hybrids: salsa, Merengue, Afro-Arab . . .).
In resisting the rock/funk crossover, Eardrum
uses the Ghanaian principle of Sankofa (go
back and retrieve). Each programme presents
a sampling of the music of a particular
country, instrument, performer, etc. Forgotten
classics a speciality!
1.00 THE POUNDING SYSTEM
Prepared by Richard Fielding, Clay Caplice
and Ossie Borthwick
The island of Jamaica is the birthplace of
perhaps the most influential contemporary
Afro-Caribbean music — reggae. Owing
much to American rhythm and blues, jazz and
Soul, reggae's antecedents ska and rocksteady
Soon developed into a unique form through
the musician's increased African
consciousness and the influence of the
Rastafarian religion. Since the late 50s the
lifeblood of the music has been the mobile
discotheques known as sound systems that
travel the playing dance halls and yards
introducing various subgenres such as dub
(re-mixed instrumentals powered by hard
bass and drum rhythms). The associated DJ
style (talking over dub tracks) and lover's rock
(softer romantic moods) to an enthusiastic
young audience. This programme will attempt
to cover the main innovations in reggae from
the early days of ska to the latest lethal
sounds. Killer!

Synopsis:
Act I. A grove in the Temple of Diana in
Soythian Tauris, five years after the end of the
Trojan War. Scene 1. Iphigenia, rescued from
sacrificial death at Aulis and wafted in a cloud
to Tauris by Artemis, lives as Diana's Chief
Priestess. It is the practice of the barbarian
Scythians to sacrifice all shipwrecked sailors
to Diana. Although Iphigenia loathes human
sacrifice she is a pious servant of the goddess.
There breaks out a natural storm which is
matched by her own turbulent feelings. She
(Grands Dieu! soyez-vous secourables) and
the priestesses pray for the storm's abatement,
but even when it comes she remains storm-
wracked within. Pressed by the priestesses
(Iphigenie, o ciel! craindrait-elle un malheur?)
she reveals that she has dreamt (Cette nuit j'ai
revu le palais de mon pere) of her fathers
murder — of which she could not otherwise
have known — by her mother Clytaemnestra,
and that she will be forced to kill her brother
Orestes. Iphigenia despairs of her family's
tragic fortunes (O race de Pelops, race
toujours fatale!), and of her own existence (O
toi qui prolongeas mes jours). In this she is
102
joined by her women (Quand verrons-nous
tarir nos pleurs?).
Scene 2. Thoas enters with his guard. He has
had his own presentiments that his life is in
danger (Dieux! le malheur en tous lieux suit
mes pas) which can be staved off only with a
blood offering. When Iphigenia demurs that
the gods surely cannot be appeased by
murder he insists his foreboding (De noirs
pressentiments, mon ame intimidee).
Scene 3. The Scythians announce the capture
of two young Greeks (Les Dieux apaisent leur
courroux), whose blood may well be the
offering called for. One Scythian describes
them (Deux jeunes Grecs echoues sur ces
bords), and the death-wish on the lips of one
of them. This is Orestes, who is still pursued
by the Furies for his matricide, adulteress and
murderess though she might have been. For
Thoas, Iphigenia's horror (Dieux! etouffez en
moi le cri de la nature!) notwithstanding, the
victims are god-sent and he orders her to
make ready (Allez, et les captifs vont vous
Suivre a l'autel).
Scene 4. Thoas enjoins his people to rejoice
in the opportunity to placate their gods, in
which they are not loth (Il nous fallait du sang
pour expier nos crimes).
Scenes 5 & 6. Orestes and Pylades, although
in chains, will not disclose to Thoas (Notre
projet est un mystere) their reason for being
on that shore. Thoas angrily condemns them
(De ton arrogance hautaine la mort sera le
prix). However, Orestes is stricken that his
quest is to be the cause also of Pylade's
death. The Scythians continue their thanks to
their gods (Il nous fallait . . . ).
Act Il. An inner room of the Temple, with an
altar. Orestes and Pylades in chains. Scenes 1
& 2. Pylades, in vain, attempts (Quel silence
effrayant! quelle douleur funeste!) to comfort
the despairing Orestes (Je t'ai donne la mort).
He will not have it (Quel langage accablant
pour un ami qui t'aime!) but that he and
Orestes should face their fate together.
However, in spite of their joint plea (Cruels,
faut-il vous implorer?), the Temple Minister
(J'obeis a nos lois, j'obeis a nos Dieux!) and
Guard take Pylades away.
Scenes 3 & 4. Alone, Orestes, while praying
the gods of this place to take him, falls from
exhaustion. In his stupor he feels calmer (Le
calme rentre dans mon coeur!), only to be
tormented again by the Furies, who conjure
up a fleeting vision of Clytaemnestra while
spurning his cries for mercy (Point de grace, il
a tue sa mere). At the arrival of the priestesses
the Furies vanish. Orestes, seeing Iphigenia,
mistakes her for his mother (Ma mere! Ciel!).
Scene 5. Iphigenia believes his horror of her
to be caused by the approaching sacrifice, but
he continues to be struck by her likeness to
Clytaemnestra (Quels traits! quel etonnant
rapport!). Her pity for him leads her to enquire
his origins. On hearing those to have been in
Mycenae she implores him to tell her of
Agamemnon. He is harrowed by the telling,
and she by the hearing, of the bloody piling of
crime on crime (De forfaits sur forfaits quel
assemblage affreux!). He gives her to believe
that Orestes perished, and that only Electra
remains of Agamemnon's children. Iphigenia
has already loosed his chains, and now bids
him leave.
Scene 6. Iphigenia and the priestesses lament
the extinction of Mycenae's noble royal line, of
her brother, and of her only hope of
repatriation (O malheureuse Iphigenie!). The
28 2MBS-FM PROGRAMME GUIDE FEBRUARY 1987
priestesses bring the funeral bowl, and they
and Iphigenia pay delayed funerary honour to
her brother (O mon frere, daignez entendre/
Contemplez ces tristes apprets).
Act 11. Iphigenia's chamber. Scenes 1-3.
Iphigenia yields to the priestesses (Je cede a
vos desirs: du sort que vous opprime), and
decides to free one of the captives to take a
message to Electra. Orestes and Pylades are
brought in and joyfully reunited Pylades is
astonished when Iphigenia tells them that she,
too, is Greek (Quoi? des mains d'une
Grecque il faut perdre la vie?). In a trio she
offers one of them — while Orestes and
Pylades each insist that it be the other — his
life. Prompted by his likeness to her brother
she chooses Orestes (II faut donc entre vous
choisir une victime!).
Scenes 4-7. Orestes and Pylades reproach
each other for not accepting the other's
sacrifice (Quoi? je ne vaincrai pas ta
constance funeste? . . . Ah! mon ami, j'implore
ta pitie!). Orestes, however, by threatening to
take his own life prevails upon Iphigenia to
free Pylades to take her message to Greece.
He charges Pylades with taking his message
to Electra also (Vis, mon ami, cours servir la
pretresse). Pylades respects Iphigenia's
refusal to say why her message is to go to
Electra, but remains determined that he will
somehow save Orestes (Divinite des grandes
ames).
Act IV. The interior of the Temple of Diana,
with her statue and a sacrificial altar. Scene 1.
Iphigenia supplicates the goddess (Je
timplore et je tremble, o Deesse implacable!)
for the strength of purpose to make the
sacrifice her nature resists.
Scene 2. The priestesses (O Diane, sois-nous
propice) conduct Orestes in. He attempts to
bolster Iphigenia's professedly failing resolve
by telling her that to do otherwise would be
opposition to divine ordinance. The
priestesses purify him for the sacrifice during
a hymn (Chaste fille de Latone). Iphigenia is
guided to the altar by four of them and
presented with the sacrificial knife. At the
command to strike (Frappez!), Orestes says,
“Iphigenie, aimable soeur! C'est ainsi
qu'autrefois tu peris en Aulide," and
recognition comes to them all.
Scenes 3-5. Reunion is interrupted by another
Greek woman's precipitate entry (Tremblez!
tremblez! on sait tout le mystere!) to tell them
that Thoas knows of the escape of one of the
captives. Iphigenia abjures her women to
protect their King from Thoas's rage. Thoas
enters with his Guard (De tes forfaits la trame
est decouverte). His resolve to sacrifice both
victim and priestess with his own hand is only
increased by the knowledge that Orestes is
the son of Agamemnon and Iphigenia’s
brother (Oui, je dois la punir, et tout son
sang!). However, it is Pylades who enters with
a band of Greeks and strikes down Thoas. His
Royal Guard is inclined at first to avenge their
King (Vengeons le sang de notre roi!
frappons!), but is persuaded otherwise by the
Greeks (De ce peuple odieux exterminons/
Fuyons de ce lieu funeste!).
Scenes 6 & 7. Diana descends in a cloud into
the midst of the combatants (Arretez! Ecoutez
mes decrets eternels!) and commands the
return of her effigy from Tauris to Greece. She
releases Orestes from his curse, expiated by
his many years of remorse and persecution by
the Furies, and promises their King and
Iphigenia a safe journey back to an
astonished Mycenae. Greeks, priestesses and
Scythians comment on the fulfilment of the
oracles and the appeasement of the gods (Les
Dieux, longtemps en courroux).

A short time ago 16 presenters were asked what kind of
music they'd like to have with them if they were suddenly
thrust into the role of castaway on a desert island. It came
as no surprise that nearly everyone included some music
of Bach and Mozart. It was surprising, however, to discover
how differently each one has interpreted the castaway role.

Some see it as a planned affair, travelling to the islan
and then being abandoned in a civilised manner, with all
the necessities of life. Others imagine being washed ashore
alone but with a set of records and the wherewithal to play
them. A hint of the different reactions lies in brief texts
supplied by the presenters.

Midnight Lys Berky The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright —
And this was odd, because It was
The middle of the night.
Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland)
Were I condemned
To a solitary end,
Perhaps through good fortune deficient;
One octave alone
On a tree-leaf and comb ;
Would be for enjoyment sufficient.

Noon Robin Forsaith What interests me about jazz is that it is unique, a form of expression all its
own. Historically, players of music seemed to lack the dignity of composers of
music. This is especially true of jazz, which is almost completely a player’s art,
depending as it does on improvisation rather than on composition. But this also
means that the player of jazz is himself the real composer, which gives him a
creative and therefore more dignified status.
Leonard Bernstein (October 1955)

For there is a music, wherever there is a harmony, order or proportion: and thus
far we may maintain the music of the spheres.

So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware.

relevant month at 8pm, a particular time slot around which you can plan your listening.

Synopsis
Acti. The first scene of Act | is set іп а
tavern on the border of Saxony. Carlo,
through the machinations of his younger
brother, Francesco, learns that he has been
disinherited and exiled by his father. He forms
a band of brigands and swears to lead them
faithfully.
In scene 2 we find Francesco, with Carlo out
of the way, determined to get rid of their
father so that he can inherit their estates.
Act Il. Francesco declares his love for
Amalia, Carlo's beloved, who repulses him at
the point of a dagger. Carlo snatches one of
the members of his gang from the gallows in
Prague and turns the city into a holocaust.
Act Ill. In scene 1 Amalia meets Carlo in a
lonely forest near the castle. They fall into
each other's arms with joy, and Amalia brings
Carlo up-to-date with events at the castle.
In the 2nd scene they discover Massimiliano,
now a skeletal old man whom Francesco
buried alive in the ruins of an old keep. He'd
been kept alive only by the kindness and
remorse of Arminio who brought him food.
Асі ІМ. Francesco has a terrifying nightmare
in which he was damned at the Last
Judgement. When the castle is attacked by
brigands, Francesco escapes.
The final scene is set in the forest at dawn.
Amalia, who has been captured by the
brigands, calls on Carlos to save her and his
identity is revealed. She swears her undying
love for him and begs him to stab her. He
stabs her in the heart and gives himself up to
justice.
