Seeing the soundMulti-media presentations of one kind or another are a sourceof fascination for many composers, as a way of extending theirchosen art form and thereby their emotional vocabulary. Film,dance, digital art, theatre, architecture - the collaborativepossibilities are, for better and for worse, almost endless.When the collaboration succeeds, the result is somethingspecial, not only extending the composer' s array of tools, butcoaxing and nudging any given audience into contemplation ofother art forms that the audience might not have consideredlooking into.Christos Hatzis, composer of Constantinople, one of thismonth' s Luminaromulti-media highlight presentations, hadsome interesting thoughts on the subject when I interviewed himthe last time Constantinople was staged here (Nov 2004): "myproblem with a lot of multimedia works that I happen to see" hesaid "is that the various aspects at best simply coexist with nocoherent correspondences between music, visuals, and theatre.... In Constantinople, I was hoping for a work which was sotight that you could 'see the sound and hear the image,' whereall the layers at play say essentially the same thing and say it insuch a way that the statement would not be complete in theabsence ofany of the contributing components. It is a tall order."In choosing a multidisciplinary emphasis for thismonth' s cover, we are tipping our hat to the interdisciplinarycuratorial impulse underlying the inaugural ten-day Luminarn.In choosing the particular work we have focussed on -MusicaNoir's The Passion of Winnie - we're going a bit further.The choice is not an attempt on our part to spot "the sleeper ofthe season" before anybody else does - we haven't the foggiestidea whether The Passion of Winnie is going to be one of those"sleepers" . Rather, it's an acknowledgment of the risks beingtaken by all parties concerned. Being willing to take a chance onmaking a work in progress ready for an audience underimmutable time pressure, speaks volumes about the wayLuminarn's curators are going about things: by accepting theidea that "works in progress" are also a worthy manifestationof culture; and by recognising the impact they can have throughthis kind of grassroots engagement. If at such short noticeLumina TO can do this kind of reaching out, in its inaugural year,it bodes well for the city's long term cultural picture, and theartists, in all disciplines, who live and work here, year round .David PerlmanBACK BEAT: READERS RESPOND[Regarding the editor's comment in May about G JennGould's "notorious vocalisations" in the 1955 GoldbergVariations] ... Glenn Gould' s vocalise is part of what we loveabout him, and there are probably a lot more famous pianistswho have done the same, over the years. Jazz pianists havebeen singing along ever since there have been jazz pianists­Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson, and Erroll Garner are the firstwho come to mind. Gould was just the first classical cat tobreak the Grunt Barrier. Probably the earlier vocalists gotedited out, either by the engineers or de facto (becausecurrent recording technique didn't offer Hi-enough Fi to pickit up).It's unfortunate that the record reviews get edited, but if thatgives us more reviews, it's probably worth it.

LuMINATO: Danger meets opportunityThe Passion of Winnie (part one)by David PerlmanIn the torrent of releases from the Luminarngang, one in particular jumped out:"Ms. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Visits CanadaFor Luminato 's World Premiere of MusicaNoir 'sThe Passion Of Winnie. The 'Mother of the Nation'will be the keynote speaker at a special benefitgala A Night In Soweto, June 5 and will attendthe opening night peiformance (June 8) of filmmakerWarren Wilensky and composer Bongani Ndodana­Breen 's exciting new multi-media opera, ... chartingthe journey of the South African struggle forfreedom through the life of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela,... a story that looks beyond the politics ofApartheid and examines an untold personal journeythat weaves loss and tragedy with hope and the miraculousbirth of freedom in South Africa. "The f!assi~n of Winnie is a second foray byMus1caN01r's Ndodana-Breen into multidisciplinarywork incorporating film, digital mediaand new music. The film narrative is projectedfrom five projectors onto three screensspecially built by filmmaker Warren Wilensky,who also wrote the libretto; onstage achamber orchestra of 16 musicians, 8 vocalistsand 2 soloists perform live. The workbuilds on the success of MusicaNoir' s previousinter-arts project, Orange Cloud, whichwas a fusion of film, music and poetry createdby Bongani Ndodana-Breen, Geoffrey Pugenand renowned filmmaker John Greyson. (Universityof Windsor-educated Chantelle Grantwho plays Winnie in this project, worked withNdodana Breen in Orange Cloud as well.). Startling as it seems, The Passion of Winnie1s barely a year old as a collaboration and thedecision to take the plunge and stage i~ for Lu­~inarn w~s made barely six months ago - notime at all m the painfully inch-by-inch worldof composer/librettist collaboration. And ifeither Wilensky or Ndodana-Breen, theproject's two South African-born animateurshad thought that this would be a gentle test- 'drive for their ambitious undertaking, the announcementof the Madikizela-Mandela visiteffectively dispelled the notion.I managed phoneconversations withsome of the peopleinvolved inThe Passionof Winnie - time ~---------....1stolen from intense rehearsal, barely a weekbefore the big event. Ndodana-Breen andWilensky kept emphasising the fact that this isPart One. "The final aria in this version"Bongani said "is definitely the end of part oneof Winnie's story but when the project is even­!Ually ~ll.Y realized, you'd only be looking atmterm1ss1on at that point ... about 70 minutesin." Part One takes her from being a littlegirl in a Transkei village (one that Wilenskyspent months filming) up to 1986.This is the moment reflected on our cover.Matchbox in hand, Winnie sings (as 22 yearsago she spoke): "There are traitors in ourmids~ ... By the rubber tire necklace ... By theburning petrol necklace ... With a common boxof matches ... We will liberate our people andthis land ... "(Imagine a work set in post-911 New Yorkculminating in an exhortation to "the people"to use b?x cutters to liberatory effect, and youcan be?m topasp the difficulty of incubating awork hke this m South Africa itself, withoutthe discussion of the artistic merit of the workbeing drowned out in all the other kinds of discoursethat would ensue.)"So is it going to be sufficiently reverentialnot to offend the 'Mother of the Nation'? Iasked. "The facts are the facts," Bonganisaid. "It's a work of art and therefore moreabout the human condition than it is about moralityor politics. What has been said and doneis said and done. As artists you put it forward."Hopefully the inevitable hullaballoo aroundthe (real) passionate Ms M. 's visit will notcompletely drown out what Chantelle Grantdescribes as "the extraordinary sonorities " ofNdo.dana-Breen's musical writing.Life after Lumina TO will be interesting forthis particular work.28 concertsChoirs, Orchestras,Pianists, Quartets

I . 0. Musical Diaryby Colin EatockCore values, and then someMay 6, 2007: Tonight, at the Lula Lounge I run into Henry Kucharzyk.He used to be the artistic director of Arraymusic - the new-musicorganization founded back in 1972 by a group of young Toronto composers- & he reminds me of an upcoming concert. This will be a specialevent marking Arraymusic's thirty-fifth anniversary: a retrospectivesampling of works commissioned by the group throughout its history.May 16, 2007: At the University of Toronto's Music Library, I spotJohn Fodi, another former member of Arraymusic. He knows about theconcert, of course, but won't be attending. It's in the middle of the VictoriaDay weekend, and he'll be at his cottage. But he asks me if I'll bethere - and I decide, on the spot, that I will.May 19, 2007: Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to schedule this concertfor the Victoria Day weekend: only about thirty people show up -mostly composers and musicians who've been associated with the groupover the years.At the pre-concert discussion, composer and conductor Alex Pauk,one of the founders, explained that the group originally began as a kindof discussion group - and only later on did they get the idea of presentinga concert. Recalled composer Marjan Mozetich: "We had a passionfor what we were doing, back then. As you get older you mellow out."And Robert W. Stephenson, the current artistic director, spoke of howthe group's "core values" - collaboration between composers and performers,and the establishment of a multi-purpose studio - have remainedlargely unchanged over the years.Space does not permit a formal review of the concert that followed.Suffice it to say that I heard two pieces that I liked: Kucharzyk's arrangementof Claude Vivier's Pulau Dewata, and Mozetich's Ice. Mostof the other five pieces were, I think, well crafted and worthy of the revivalthey received on this occasion.As I listened, I thought about Arraymusic's core values. Anothervalue, apparently, is that new music should sound "new-musicky": theensemble's quirky instrumentation imposes a distinctively heterogenoussound on everything they play. And yet another seems to be contentmentwith obscurity. (Besides orchestration and counterpoint, one of thethings composers learn at music school is stoicism in the face of publicindifference.)The nature of the programme also made me think about the rarity ofrepeat performances in the new-music world - and after the concert, Ispoke to Pauk and Mozetich about this problem. Mozetich said that theperformance of Ice that evening was the only reading the work has receivedsince it was first heard in 1978. However, Pauk stated that hisMugaru, has been played quite often since it was written in 1973 -about ten times, by his estimation.Pauk is right, of course: ten times is "quite often" by contemporarymusicstandards: indeed, it's the new-music equivalent of going platinum.But I wonder how many times Schubert's Trout Quintet has beenplayed since 1973? Why are the expectations of today's composers solow in this regard?Every now and then someone can be heard bemoaning this state ofaffairs - as I am doing right now - but surprisingly little is done aboutit. (Do arts councils care?) And I can't help thinking that the peoplewho run this city's contemporary-music societies must themselves bearmuch of the blame. Repeat performances are rare, and tend to be reservedfor special occasions, such as anniversaries."It's a status thing," says Mozetich. "Everyone wants to do premieres."I expect he's right. But the reluctance of new-music groups togive repeat performances has led to an ephemeral musical culture that'sso attached to the fleeting moment it would make most pop musiciansblush. Perhaps new-music societies could present a more robust imageto the world by selecting a few "contemporary masterpieces," and playingthem - a lot.**Colin Eatock is a Toronto-based composer and journalist, who contributesto The Globe and Mail, and other publications.WOMEN'S MUSICAL CLUB OF TORONTOThanks to the WMCTs subscribers for this expression of support forthe coming season and the many more seasons to follow.The Women's Musical Club ofToronto gratefully acknowledges thegenerous support of the following for its llOth Anniversary season:Sun Life FinancialWomen's Musical Club ofTorontoCentennial FoundationThe Catherine & Maxwell MeighenFoundationBen and Hilda Katz CharitableFoundationSonja N.

Quoolibetby Allan Pu IkerJUNE & TIIE SUMMER HEAThave arrived and, as the 2006-07concert season winds down, a newSunday afternoon concert series hasappeared at the edge of the city atthe historical Sharon Temple, convenientlylocated near the north endof Highway 404 in the village ofSharon, about 45 minutes by carfrom downtown Toronto, less ifyou live north of the city, or nearHighway 407.Concerts at Sharon Temple are nota new phenomenon. The Childrenof Peace religious sect, the buildersof the temple - construction beganin 1825 towards the end ofBeethoven's life and was completedin 1831, two years before JohannesBrahms' birth - parted company,we are told, with the Quakersbecause they wanted music tobe an integral part of their religiousobservance, where God, theyhoped, would speak directly to alland where both Christians and Jewscould find a home. More recently,between 1981 and 1990, it was thehome of the illustrious original Musicat Sharon concert series, of whichmany performances were recordedand broadcast by the CBC, includingthe world premiere of HarrySomers' opera, Serinette.Getting back to our story, a newand vigorous Sharon Temple MuseumSociety board, attempting to raisethe profile of the temple, late lastyear invited Stephen Cera to serveas artistic director of a re-establishedMusic at Sharon. Cera was a logicalchoice for the job. Originally a concertpianist, he was in Toronto forthe first time in November 1974 toaudition for the Toronto SymphonyOrchestra, which resulted in a secondvisit in the summer of 1975when he performed Liszt's first PianoConcerto with the TSO at OntarioPlace. Returning to Toronto in1985 to work as a music producerfor the CBC, he did a considerableamount of programming. (Coincidentally,while working for the CBC heproduced several broadcasts recordedat Sharon Temple.)In 1991 he assumed the role ofartistic director of the concert seriesat the Ford Centre, now theToronto Centre for the Arts. In thiscapacity he programmed approximately100 concerts per season untilthe series ended in 2000.Cera's current Sharon mandate isto present concerts that primarily featureCanadian artists, give exposureto outstanding young artists, offer asignificant amount of Canadian music,and have some historical resonance.His programming masterfullyreflects all four requirements. Thetheme of the first concert, on June3, is French, but the program willinclude works by two Quebec composers,Andre Prevost and MayaBadian. The June 10 concert, theElora Festival Singers, will includeconsiderable Canadian content, includingGlenn Gould's witty butrarely performed, "So You Want toWrite a Fugue?" as well as musicby Stephen Chatman, and by GlennBuhr who studied with Chatman inthe 1970s. Appropriately, also onthe program will be John Beckwith'ssetting of texts by Children of Peacefounder, David Willson, "SharonFragments." The third concert, June17, will be a recital by,in Cera's words, "themagnificent Russian pianist,Nikolai Demidenko,"in what is probablyhis first Canadianappearance since theFord Centre days. Thisperformance will be ladenwith historical resonance,exploring the interconnectionsbetweenJ. S. Bach and FranzLiszt, whose life-span,1811-1886, almost exactlycoincides with thelife-span of the Childrenof Peace. The centrepiece of the concertwill be Liszt's variations on themusic of Bach's Cantata 12, "Weinen,Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen." TheJune 24 concert will feature twoyoung Montreal artists, cellistYegor Dyachkov and pianist, JeanSaulnier, who will perform the rarelyheard Chopin Cello Sonata ("absolutelytop drawer Chopin," Ceratold me, " ... from the same time asthe b-minor piano sonata") and theeven rarer Britten Cello Sonata.In addition they will premiere anew work by the young Canadiancomposer, Michael Oesterle,whose cello concerto was premieredrecently by Dyachkov withthe Manitoba Chamber Orchestra.On July 8 the Nathaniel Dett Choralecompletes the series.The series may be small but theperformers and repertoire are byno means insignificant. "We decidedto start modestly," Cera assuredme, "but if it goes well, wewill expand it."Tickets can be booked online atwww.sharontemple.ca or by telephoningthe Toronto SymphonyOrchestra Box Office at 416-598-3375.The historical Sharon TempleMUSIC MONDAYS, 2007The Music Mondays concert series,which began the last Monday of Mayand ends on Labour Day, like Musicat Sharon, takes place in an historicbuilding, Holy Trinity Churchbehind the Eaton Centre.

Choral SceneTHERE'S NOTHING LIKE a festival tocrown a magnificent season ofmusic-making in the city.Though not dedicated exclusivelyto choral music, the LuminarnFestival features collections of voicesin exciting and humorous situations.The festivities get underwayJune 1 with Not the Messiah (he'sa very naughty boy) courtesy ofMonty Python's Eric Idle. Someonehad to tear down the sacredwalls of Handel's Messiah sometime!It's such a familiar piece andwill certainly survive this lampooning.It's interesting that Idle andToronto Symphony music directorPeter Oundj ian are first cousinsand, apparently, they've been cookingup this show for some timenow. The Toronto MendelssohnChoir, Toronto Symphony andsoloists are all involved. Should befun. Other events in the festivalconnected with vocal and choralmusic are Luna, featuring 10 ofCanada's most accomplished operastars (no chorus, unfortunately!)and The Passion of Winnie(Part One), featuring South Africanchoral music helping to tell thestory of the triumph over Apartheid.For more info, you can visitluminato.com.Many Toronto-area choirs arestill going strong this month withfinal concerts and season-endingcelebrations.

was too young to join the musicians'union. When this precociouslad presented himself for an auditionwith the Toronto SymphonyOrchestra, he was told he was tooyoung. However, when Sir ErnestMacMillan heard him play, it wasa different matter. Within a yearhe was granted permission to jointhe union and was playing with theTSO whenever an extra trumpetwas needed.However, Canada was at war,and it wasn't long before LeadingBandsman Cowell was the featuredcornet soloist with the navy bandof HMCS Naden in Esquimalt. Inhis spare time he just happened tobe Principal Trumpet with the VictoriaSymphony.The late summer of 1945 sawthe surrender of Japan and the endof WWII. By a strange twist offate, the celebration of that victoryalmost spelled the end of a promisingmusical career for JohnnyCowell. With the announcement ofthe end of hostilities, the NadenBand was expected to play almostcontinuously, morning, afternoonand on into the night. The nextmorning, when he picked up histrumpet, he could not produce asound. The marathon playing ofthe previous day's victory celebrationshad taken its toll. The nervesin his lips had been severely damaged.The navy sent him to see aspecialist in Vancouver, but theoutlook was bleak. He was toldthat he would never play trumpetagain.Released from the navy, Johnnyreturned to Toronto to ponderhis future. That same innate talentand determination which propelledhim as a child trumpet player cameto the fore once again. He appliedfor, and was awarded, a scholarshipto study composition at theToronto Conservatory of Music(Now the Royal Conservatory).There, under the tutelage of OscarMorawetz and John Weinzweig, hehoned his composition skills. However,he never gave up on his trumpet.After four years of determinedeffort he was playing once again.By 1950 he was back in the TSOwhere he remained until 1991. Retirementfrom the TSO didn't endhis playing. He was immediatelyengaged to play flugelhorn in theHannaford Street Silver Band, andwas one of the soloists with theband until 2005. Simultaneously,he accepted an invitation from Ker-] UNE 1 -J ULY 7 2007ry Stratton to assume the post ofprincipal trumpet with the TorontoPhilharmonia.As a composer, his works spanthe spectrum from the pop charthits to symphony concert hallworks. His original orchestralworks and arrangements have beenperformed by many major orchestrasincluding the New York Philharmonicand the Boston Symphony.On the pop side his "WalkHand in Hand" hit the top of thecharts in 1956. Again, in 1963 hehad a top hit with "Our WinterLove" . This one was such a successthat several orchestra leaders,including Andre Kostelanetz andLawrence Welk recorded instrumentalversions of it.

SoME THING NewBY }ASON VAN EYKNEW Music FESTIVALS have alreadyfilled up the concert calendar withan almost unbearable selection ofinteresting experiences. Every dayhas already been so full of goodmusic that local concertgoers havebeen forced to make some difficultdecisions. And with Luminaro fastapproaching, the arrival of musicalriches is not about to stop.Esprit Orchestra's New WaveComposers Festival seemed to increaseits audience with everyevent. A small but fully appreciativegroup attended the festival'sopening professional reading session,where composers GideonKim, Robert A. Baker and JanaSkarecky received excellent interpretationsof their previously unperformedworks. The WalterCarsen Centre offered a surprisinglygood acoustic space matchedby a futuristic view of downtownToronto through its floor-to-ceilingwindows.The following night, audiencesebbed and flowed around a seriesof "hot new wave" concerts programmedby early career composersBrian Current and Scott Good.Both delivered musical selectionswhich matched the Lula Lounge'sfunky environment, making theperformance of new music in a barsetting seem completely natural.And the cozy banquettes and drinkservice certainly didn't upset theconcertgoers !But the audience finally reachedcritical mass on the festival's closingnight, where the senior mentorsreceived their chance to shine.The Orchestra took to the Jane,i~,' ~Mallett stage with a venerable rosterof soloists to perform worksby Ligeti, R. Murray Schafer,Douglas Schmidt and a world premierefrom Michael Colgrass. Cellosoloist Shauna Rolston joined theorchestra in Schmidt's by turn raucousand eerie Omies Ruckchmerzen,inspired by German children'sstories in which the maincharacters all meet tragic ends.Rolston also gave a very convincingperformance of Ligeti'scolourful yet delicate Cello Concerto,accompanied by a virtuosoEsprit chamber ensemble. MezzoEleanor James sang luscious selectionsfrom Schafer's Minneliederand Letters from Mignon . Butthe evening's highlight was theworld premiere of Colgrass' Sideby Side for harpsichord, alteredpiano and orchestra. The titlecomes from the fact that both instrumentsare played "side by side"by one performer. Fearless soloistJoanne Kong handled the demandingand dense score with such fluiditythat you would have thoughtthat she were seated before onlyone instrument. Conductor AlexPauk successfully guided the orchestrathrough to a good premiere.Side by Side goes on to future performanceswith the Boston ModernOrchestra Project and the RichmondSymphony.Interestingly, the New WaveComposers Festival offers us agood entry point into this months'range of new music concerts, allof which focus on music for youngpeople or young people writingmusic.1' tfie gzJ:t!!f postViolins, violas, cellos, and bowsComplete line of strings and accessoriesExpert repairs and rehairsCanada's largest stock of string musicJFast mail order service@, ~www.thesoundpost.cominfo@thesoundpost.comBltllililiMJilEarly in themonth, the CanadianChildren'sOpera Chorusperforms a "CanadianMosaic" inthe Richard BradshawAmphitheatreVocal Series. / -.The programme iscomprised of choralselections fromoperatic workscommissioned bythe Chorus, including Harry Somers'A Mindwinter Night's Dream(recently recorded by the Chorusfor the Centrediscs label), JohnGreer's The Snow Queen, DeanBurry's The Hobbit and ErrolGay's A Dickens of a Christmas.This rather winterish concert takesplace on June 6th starting at 5:30p.m. in the Four Season Centre.For more details, visit www .coc.caand click on "Performances".A few days later, Tapestry NewOpera Works partners with TheatreDirect Canada to present SanctuarySong , a new multimedia operafor young people created byearly career composer Abigail Richardsonand librettist MarjorieChan.

UNE 1 - ) U LY 7 2007Jazz Notesby Jim GallowayDays Of Wine And ChorusesOnce more the jazz festival seasongets truly under way witha string of celebrations acrossthe country and details of eventsin and around Toronto can befound in this issue.So instead of dealing with themajor music feasts I thought a liquiddiversion might be refreshing.On a recent trip to Australia I waslucky enough to meet Jim Smith,one of Australia's most experiencedwine experts. He arranged a visitto the Fox Creek Winery, inMcLaren Vale near Adelaide,which not only produces some veryfine wines, but last year began athree-year sponsorship deal withWOMADelaide, South Australia'spremiere international music festival.That got me thinking aboutsome of the things that jazz andwine have in common. Both areintoxicating - wine and good jazzmusicians tend to improve with ageand devotees of both fine wine andgreat jazz can appreciate the subtletiestherein.It's also true that jazz and wineappreciation are at times regardedas a bit elitist. Wine is an "acquiredtaste". One has an "ear" for jazzor a "nose" for wine, and experts,sometimes self-appointed, can bea bit tedious. But that is not thefault of the music or the wine, twoof life's most pleasurable things.A little bit of digging and I uneartheda surprising number ofevents here and abroad which combinethe joys of fermentation withthose of musical improvisation.Starting right here in Ontario theHillebrand Winery has its annualJazz at the Winery on July 7th and8th with Sophie Berkal-Sarbit, SistersEuclid featuring Kevin Breit,Manteca and Dione Taylor plus ablues day on August 11th. You cansavour good wine, food and jazzas you look out over the Niagaraescarpment.Ontario's newest wine producingregion, Prince Edward County,historically interesting and visuallycharming, has attracted anumber of creative souls to the areaand has a healthy jazz festival inAugust.In Port Colborne the Flavoursof Niagara International Food Wineand Jazz Festival takes place onthe last weekend of June and theorganisers expect 20,000 visitors.Earlier in the year, on the lastSaturday of May, ArchibaldOrchards and Estate Wineryheld their 8th annual festival,"an afternoon of food, wineand jazz music" .The organisers of The Shoresof Erie Wine International Festival,held on the second weekendof September at Amherstburg,Ontario present the region's finestwines, good food and jazz againsta backdrop of the town's historicwaterfront setting.These are just some of the jazzand wine happenings around thisarea, but farther abroad there areother intriguing opportunities to beself-indulgent. For example, theweb site All About Jazz has joinedwith an organisation called GlobalMusic Foundation to offer two jazzand wine tours to Tuscany in August,providing a full week of music,good company, and fine foodand wine in the picturesque hillsof Tuscany this summer. Theevening performances are set in thecastle courtyards of the medievalhilltop town of Certaldo Alto. Butif you' re interested you had betterhurry, because in order to providea high level of service only 15 placesare available for each tour!I also came across the Chateaule Bouis in Gruissan, south ofNarbonne in France, which has avineyard, winery, guest house,restaurant, jazz club.And going back to Australiawhere I first started thinking aboutSisters Euclidthe topic there is the 27th MilduraJazz and Wine Festival held on thefirst weekend in November - andthat's summertime over there. Believeme, it's a long way to go,but if you should happen to be"down under" in November andwant to hear some of the best ofAussie traditional and modern jazzmusicians as well as sample someof those great red wines of SouthernAustralia, it would be fair dinkum!Jazz performers have, on occasion,given a nod in the directionof wine, notably Gil Evans withthe album New Wine, Old Bottles.Soprano Summit recorded a numbercalled "Grapes Are Ready" and JonHendricks with Lambert, Hendricksand Ross had a little dittycalled "Gimme That Wine!" withthe classic line "I can't get wellwithout my mu skate!!"If I take some liberties with theactual titles, and you will forgivemy fondness for puns, there are afew standards that could be playedsuch as "The Wine I Love BelongsTo Somebody Else", or perhaps,"Vine And Dandy" .And if you happen to be a beerdrinker please don't be upset bythis tribute to the joys of wine andjazz. There is nothing wrong withboogie, beer and be-bop.

On Operaby Christopher Haileand Culture in the first post-apartheid government, but was dismissedwithin a year following allegations of corruption. The Mandelas divorcedin 1996.For the opera, Cape Town-born Toronto filmmaker and librettistWarren Wilensky has created a montage of moving images that playacross multiple screens. On stage a choir, orchestra and soloists performthe music of Bongani Ndodana-Breen, whose score blends a richcacophony of Xhosa rhythms, Cape Town jazz, Township jive andanti-apartheid street chants. Born in Queenstown, South Africa, composerand conductor, Ndodana-Breen, is currently the director of theToronto-based new music group Musica Nair/Ensemble Noir. Thoughonly thirty-two, Ndodana-Breen has already written three operas, twosymphonies, a vespers, a mass, and an African Kaddish among manyother works. The role of Winnie will be sung by mezzo-soprano ChantelleGrant. Performances run June 8-9 at the Isabel Bader Theatre.Winnie Mandela herself will attend the gala preview on June 5.Constantinople. Left to right: Maryem Toller, the Gryphon Trio,and Patricia 0 'Callaghan seen here in the November 2004Toronto mounting of Hatzis' monumental work.On June 1 the first-ever Luminaro Festival opens in Toronto andruns to June 10. The interdisciplinary Festival comprises over 100events from the realms of music, dance, film, the visual arts, literatureand theatre. The point of the festival is to encourage audiencesto explore various art forms and their interactions; here are threeevents that will appeal to opera lovers wanting to launch into things.First is a remount of Christos Hatzis' multimedia performancepiece Constantinople. At the same time there is the world premiereof the "digital opera" The Passion of Winnie (Pan One) by composerBongani Ndodana-Breen and librettist Warren Wilensky. And forone night only there is a grand gathering of ten Canadian opera starsfor a combined recital entitled Luna.Constantinople is described as "a multimedia music theatre work formezzo-soprano, Middle Eastern singer (alto), violin, violoncello, pianoand electronic audiovisual media". The work complete with its full theatricalcomponent was first seen in Toronto in 2004. Constantinople is, ofcourse, the former name for the city now called Istanbul and was itselfthe new name for the old city of Byzantium. In Hatzis' work Constantinoplebecomes a symbol for cultural convergence and diversity, a place,according to the programme notes, "where East and West, Islam andChristianity, monophony and polyphony, improvisation and pre-compositionalcontrol, coexist peacefully, creatively challenging and complementingeach other without stepping on each other's toes" .As befits a subject with more than 2600 years of multicultural history,the nine-movement work combines a wide range of styles - fromByzantine and Serbian Easter chants to Balkan dances, Cretan folksong, tangos, jazz, and pop. Lighting, choreography and projectionsof both cinematic and computer-generated images by Jacques Collin,long associated with Robert Lepage, create the theatrical componentfollowing a script developed by Hatzis and well-known Canadianplaywright John Murrell. The performances will feature the GryphonTrio, who commissioned the work, and singers Maryem Toller andPatricia O'Callaghan. Performances run June 7-9 at the St. LawrenceCentre.The focus of The Passion of Winnie (Pan One) is Winnie Mandela,from whose perspective we experience South Africa'sjourney fromapartheid to freedom in a narrative that unfolds through film and music.Winnie Mandela, of course, is the controversial ex-wife of former SouthAfrican president and African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela.During her husband's long imprisonment (1962-1990), she emergedas a leading opponent of white minority rule in South Africa and wasexiled to a town in the Orange Free State. Her image was damaged byspeeches endorsing the lynching of opponents and by her conviction forkidnapping and being an accessory to assault. She was a Minster of ArtsLuna takes place on June 8 at Roy Thomson Hall. For one performanceonly, ten of Canada's greatest opera stars plus rising stars of thenext generation join forces with conductor Giordano Bellincampi andmembers of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in an evening of operaticensembles and arias all on the theme of night. The soloists includesopranos Isabel Bayrakdarian, Joni Henson, Adrianne Pieczonka andSondra Radvanovsky, tenors Joseph Kaiser and Richard Margison,baritones Peter Barrett and Russell Braun, bass baritone Robert Pomakovand bass Robert Gleadow.Before the Luminaro Festival begins in Toronto, opera-lovers shouldnote that for the third year in a row, Orchestra London will present afully staged opera at the 839-seat Grand Theatre. This year it is Mozart'sDon Giovanni with Gregory Dahl in the title role, Terry Hodgesas Leporello and Frederique Vezina as Donna Elvira. The productionfrom Pacific Opera Victoria is directed by Glynis Leyshon andconducted by Timothy Vernon, and runs May 23 to June 2.Thursday June 14, 2007Music Gallery Summer BBQ.fi·al11ri1~~:Tim HeckerPhill Niblock with Katherine LiberovskayaKanaka with Paradigm Brass EnsemblePor ,\\';tilt 1nc.:c.:1s Cl:tss il: .\\ :mt sc.:ric.:~ • .\lu:. ir:tssSaturday June 23, 2007The Ramifications of Kyung-ah Shin

So we thought we'dfill out the GTA map, looking east, north and west of thedowntown core.

Maestro Boris BrottBorn in Montreal (1944), Boris Brott studiedviolin first with his father, AlexanderBrott, and performed at the age offive with the orchestra of LesConcerts symphoniques de Montreal(MSO) at a young people's matinee.Today he is one of Canada'smost internationally recognizedconductors, appearing as guestconductor, educator, motivationalspeaker and cultural ambassador, withgreat commitment to the development ofnew audiences and young artists. Hefounded the Brott Summer Music Festival in1988 and the National Academy Orchestra in 1989.In May, 2006 he was voted one of the top five Greatest Hamiltoniansof all time by Hamilton Spectator readers."My earliest musical memory is standing in a crib watching my parentsrehearse a string quartet. We lived in a room in my grandparents'house. I'd have been 18 months or 2 years old ... "."My 'cellist mother encouraged me to enjoy performing. To this daywhen I look at an audience, there's some part of me that sees a wholebunch of friendly teddy bears wearing bow-ties ... "."I was always in the company of accomplished musical people. Itwas a very enriched childhood. But at 9 or 10 I became aware that Ihad little or no communication with my peers, and I stopped playingviolin for about a year. I learned hockey and football. I also learned thatit was not really my thing (hey .. .I really am a nerd!), redoubled my effortswith the violin, and never looked back. "If you could time-travel - meet face to face with the little boy in thatphoto, is there anything you would like you tell him?"Yes! I'd tell him to really enjoy kindergarten and spend time learningto relate to people of his own age. I was around adults so much - thiscost me dearly later on. The little boy in the photo was allowed to becreative and I am so grateful to my parents for that. But ... everythingI needed to learn I should have learned in kindergarten ... interactiveskills. Musicians tend to be loners as learners. We tend to be insecure,introverted. Often we learn to hide insecurity by being overly assertive."" ... So I'd tell little Boris to stick around. Get along with the otherchildren in the playground. I'd say make the extra effort to get to knowthem, let them get to know you, and in so doing you will get to know ...yourself.

Book Shelfby Pamela Marg/esCageTalk: Dialogues with & about John Cageedited by Peter DickinsonUniversity of Rochester Press286 pages; $49.95 USJohn Cage remains one ofthe most discussed composersof the twentieth century.But these interviewswith Cage, as well as colleagueslike Merce Cunninghamand KarlheinzStockhausen, manage to offerfresh perspectives on hislife and work. It's good tohave them collected here.Cage comes off as wily, funny and thoroughlyendearing. Editor Peter Dickinson, who has donemost of the interviews here, calls Cage 'a consummateperformer' in an affectionate introduction.Cage is witty, smart, uncommonly aware ofhis musical heritage, and surprisingly passionate,even as he proclaims that the music in itself hasno meaning and communicates nothing.About the work, Bonnie Bird tells how he inventedthe prepared piano while working as a pianoaccompanist in her dance classes. David Tudorrecalls giving the first perfonnance of 4 '33".Regarding Cage's personality, Virgil Thomsontells how 'Cage always gets what he wants'. LaMonte Young says that 'he has such charisma,such a radiant personality'.Dickinson's outstanding footnotes take up asmuch as half a page. Anecdotal and wide-ranging,they offer valuable details and cross-references.A bibliography, a list of Cage's works anda thorough index enhance the reference value ofthis book, which is essential reading for anyoneinterested in the music of our time.The Spiritual Basis of Musical Hannonyby Graham JacksonThe Battered Silicon Dispatch Box196 pages; $50.00For Gordon Jackson,music today is in need ofhealing. He takes a spiritualapproach to theproblem. But his remediesare pragmatic, andlie in the basis of hannoniclanguage, the naturalovertone series and whathe presents as its moreneglected counterpart,the undertone series.Jackson has been researching this book for overforty years, applying the ideas of anthroposophistRudolf Steiner to music. A Toronto teacher andpianist, Jackson starts with an interesting historicalsurvey of the development of tonality, and itsdeconstruction in the twentieth century. For Jackson,renewal lies in a return to a tonally basedhannonic system where all dissonances are eventuallyresolved. This would lead away from the54atonal music of our post-Schoenberg era, wherethe tension between major and minor tonalitieshas been lost. He even proposes a new tuning system.Even if you don't agree with Jackson's viewson the current situation, you can appreciate hisideas about how composers expand tonality to producemeaningful music. But he doesn't deal withthe works of today's composers like Part,Gorecki, Kancheli, and Silvestrov, who are usingtonal systems to address spiritual issues in theirmusic. While he discusses Hindemith's theoreticalwritings at length, it would be interesting tolook at Hindemith's compositions, like the opera,The Hannony of the World, which is based onmathematical principles of extended tonality.Footnotes and an index, but no bibliography:this book has been well produced in a broad formatto accommodate charts, musical examples,and reproductions from historical manuscripts.Classical Destinations: An Annchair Guide toClassical Musicby Matt Wills and Paul Burrowsphotography by Wendy McDougallAmadeus Press240 pages; $30. 00 USFor music lovers, one ofthe best reasons to travelis to visit places with connectionsto favourite composersand works, like theapartment where Mozartwrote The Marriage of Figaro,or the museum thatholds his piano. Thislarge-fonnat book covers a selection of these specialplaces. Wendy McDougall's gorgeous photographscapture the details of the sites, as wellas the atmosphere of their surroundings. The textgives interesting background, but little about thesites themselves. The breezy, repetitious, meanderingstyle reflects the fact that Classical Destinationsstarted 1 ife as a tv series.This book emphasizes the 'annchair' of the titleover the 'guide', geared to the reader ratherthan the traveller, even though a limited selectionof hotels is included at the end. Just six countriesare covered; no mention is made of essential musicaldestinations like Britain, Hungary, or France.Although Vienna and Prague are featured, theirunmissable musical instrument museums are noton the agenda. Along with omissions, there areerrors. Verdi's birthplace in Busseto and nearbyestate at Sant' Agata are discussed in a chaptertitled Tuscany, even though they are located inEmilia-Romagna. Nor are they south of Tuscany,as stated, but north towards Milan, which wasVerdi's urban base. Ponchielli, not Pochielli, ashe is referred to in this book, wrote an opera calledLa Gioconda - not La Giaconda - and that opera isby no means his 'only surviving work'.For delving further, Classical Destinationsdoesn't replace Julie Anne and Stanley Sadie'sinvaluable Calling on the Composer (Yale UniversityPress). But with its splendid photos,channing foreword by Simon Callow, colourfuldescriptions, and friendly layout it provides muchenjoyable reading. Just don't use it as a guidebook!WWW. THEWHOLENOTE.COMEDITOR'S CORNERcontinuedfrompage 14birthday he began to embrace instrumentalmusic and that now well past his 60th he findshimself a "young" composer again. The pieceson this collection include works for instrumentswhich he himself played with someaccomplishment as a young man, Frenchhorn and guitar, and all are perfonned by themusicians for whom they were written: hornplayer William Purvis (with Curtis Macomber,violin and Mihae Lee, piano); guitaristDavid Starobin (founder ofBridge Records)and the Brentano String Quartet (a residentensemble at Princeton). Etudes and Parodiesshow Lansky's depth ofunderstanding of thehorn and are, in effect, seven movementswhich exemplify what, in the words of thecomposer, "a horn does well" . Semi-Suite forguitar is in six movements like the baroquesuite that it uses as a model and makes referenceto in its light-hearted titles, including"Shameless Sarabande" and "AwkwardAllemande" .

But the centrepiece of the collection is Musicfor Piano Trio "The March of F oily" performedby Ani Kavafian, Carter Brey andJeremy Denk. It is inspired by BarbaraTuchman's book of the same name whichexamines the destructive tendency of governmentsin "pursuing policies contrary to theirown interests" . Delio Joio says "I did havean image in my mind as I wrote this work:great crowds marching with flying flag~,waving banners, and twirling ba~ons, ~mdlesslydestroying whatever was m their path[ ... ] from an unshakeable belief that God andreligion is exclusively on one's own side."This moving and timely work is in four .movements, concluding with a hopeful epilogue,Prayer for Chiara, in which the c?mposerentertains the wi~h tha~ his ?wn c~1ldmay have the opportunity to 1magme a differentworld.In the "Complete Crumb Edition - VolumeTen" (Bridge 9218) we are presented withGeorge Crumb's very personal re~interpretationsof some well-known Americanhymns in The River of Life and Appalachianfolk songs in Unto the Hills, both sung by thecomposer's daughter.

DISCS REVIEWEDVOCALStrauss - Die Frau ohne SchattenSeiffert; DeVol; Titus; Martin; Lipovsek;Rootering; Bayerischen Staatsoper;Wolfgang SawallischTDK DVWW-OPFROS DVDThis splendid productionof Strauss's 1919 moralizingmusic drama representsWolfgang Sawallich'sardent schwanengesangafter 25 years atthe Bavarian Opera. Itwas directed by EnnosukeIchikawa and an all­Japanese production teamto inaugurate the openingof a new theatre inNagoya in 1992. A parable of greed, fertility andredemption by Hugo von Hofrnannstahl, The WomanWithout a Shadow's allegorical scenario depicts,in the poet's words, "two worlds, two pairs ofbeings, two interwoven conflicts [which] take theirturns, reflect each other and eventually find theirequilibrium." Ichikawa effectively illuminates thedichotomies of this convoluted libretto by depictingthe supernatural trio of the Emperor (Peter Seiffert),Empress (Luana De Vol) and her nurse (MarjanaLipovsek) as opulent Kabuki figures, in strong contrastto the drab attire of the mundane Barak (AlanTitus) and his wretched, nameless Wife (JanisMartin). The cast is uniformly excellent and thestaging is appropriately magical. Seiffert's commandingEmperor, Lipov5ek's effortlessAmmaandthe simple dignity ofTitus's Barak are outstanding.Regretfully, the State Censor of Japan deemedthe subject matter of this opera unfit for publicbroadcast (presumably a quasi-divine Emperor,Barak's mutilated brothers, and the glorification ofpregnancy are still quite sensitive subjects) andconsequently this well-recorded NHK transcripthas not been publicly available until now. It is awelcome alternative to the only other availableDVD (also from 1992), the comparatively bombasticthough unabridged Georg Sol ti performancewith the Vienna Philharmonic.Daniel FoleyStrauss - Salome: Closing scene; Capriccio:Interlude and Closing Scene; Four Last SongsNina Stemme; Orchestra of the Royal OperaHouse Covent Garden; Antonio PappanoEMI CD 3 78797 2From the very first bars of this CD the listener realizesthat this will not be an ordinary experience!Swedish soprano Nina Stemme, who studied violaand sang in the chorus at the Stockholm Opera Studio,has been heard and seen on the internationalscene for the past dozen years in a wide range ofroles from Mozart to Shostakovich and now seemspoised to ' break out of the pack' . Her characterizationof Salome is dazzling. Here is no spoiled young56/princess but a lascivious,worldly womanblinded by herobsessionwith the body, orpart thereof, of the unattainableholy man,Jochanaan. Equallyimpressive is the powerof the orchestra,which Pappano unleashes from the very openingto overwhelming effect abetted and unfettered byEMl's superb recording. We hope that EMI willproduce a complete Salome from the same artists.The two Capriccio excerpts come as welcomerespite, settling the listener down for the nextoffering.Equally impressive are Stemme's Four lastSongs. They were composed in 1948 and weregrouped by his friend Ernst Roth as the Four lastSongs to be premiered on May 22, 1950 by KirstenFlagstad conducted by Furtwangler, a performancethat Strauss did not live to hear. There arenow countless recordings of these deeply movingsongs of gentle resignation and some of us have apreferred version ... or two ... or three. Stemmetakes her place at or near the top, deposing somefavourites, although I confess that I missed someof the innigkeit, the depth and intimacy, so movinglyappropriate for the composer's last works.That caveat notwithstanding, this is one of the mostimpressive and thrilling CDs that I've heard in avery long time.Bruce SurteesFootnote: A CD of that Flagstad/Furtwanglerpremier performance of the Four last Songs willbe issued this month by Testament licensed fromthe BBC.Schafer, Murray - Letters from MignonEleanor James; Esprit Orchestra;Alex PaukATMA ACD2 2553Three orchestralsongs: two song cycles(Letters from Mignon,and Minnelieder)bracketing Thunder:Perfect Mind, aweighty "revelationdiscourse" text fromancient Egypt, revealCanadian composer R. Murray Schafer at the topof his dramatic form. Almost operatic in emotionalintensity and in their beautifully nuanced orchestration,these songs belong in the first tierofthe genre,and the Esprit Orchestra under the direction ofAlex Pauk illuminate the scores, serving to highlightthe darkly rich and passionate voice of thedramatic mezzo, Eleanor James.The cover photos and liner notes make clear theromantic context of the songs, involving the composerand singer. The two song cycles, Letters fromWWW .THEWHOLENOTE.COMMignon, and Minnelieder - the latter brilliantlyorchestrated in 1986 from an original score composedin 1956-serve as letters oflove, a sentimentmade explicit in the letters featured in thenotes. The (post)Romantic sound-world of GustavMahler and even Alban Berg wells up in theorchestra, despite the predominantly modernistmusical language, particularly in the two latterlycomposed works.Should one be surprised that the original Minneliederfor mezzo and woodwind quintet was composedover 50 years ago? During his long and prolificcareer, R. Murray Schafer has established aformidable body of compositions which haveearned him international honours and set him at theforefront of the ranks of Canadian composers.As evidence that Schafer is an active creativeforce today, his challenging Thunder: PerfectMind (2003) can still literally rock the (opera)house - and your speakers.Andrew TimarEARLY MUSIC ANDPERIOD PERFORMANCEBach - The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1Luc Beausejour, harpsichordNaxos 8.557625-26Johann SebastianBach is known formany things.

Amongthese twenty-four pieces are some of Bach's betterknown keyboard masterpieces, made famousagain by Glenn Gould a number of years back.It is a delight to hear the pieces on the harpsichord,as they were originally intended.The crisp nature of the instrument (built byYves Beaupre in 1985) and the precision of LucBeausejour's playing make for what feels to be ahighly German Baroque experience. That said, however,this recording could not be more Quebecois.Performers, instrument-makers and researchers areall esteemed representatives of La Belle Provence.I listened to both CDs in anticipation of fallingasleep from boredom, but no such thing occurred.Luc Beausejour disproves Sir ThomasBeecham's statement that the sound of the harpsichordresembles "two skeletons copulating ona corrugated tin roof."Gabrielle McLaughlinPerformance note: Speaking (in passing) ofGlenn Gould, the Luminato festival includes JohnMcGreevy's An Evening with Glenn Gould featuringTed Dykstra and the film Glenn GouldsToronto at the Young Centre on June 6.JUNE 1 - JULY 7 2007

CLASSICAL AND BEYONDMozart - Complete Piano TriosGryphon TrioAnalekta AN 2 9827-8~ To celebrate the 250anniversary of theyear of his birth, thesesix piano trios by Mozarthave been carefullypreserved on thisrecording, thanks tothe talent of TheGryphon Trio, the initiativeof the Analekta recording label, and generousgrant funding.It has been noted that the piano trio form rosein popularity during the second halfofthe 18thcentury, coincidentally just as the pianoforte, thena new kind of keyboard, was gaining attention.Though it was also a time when amateur musicmakingwas encouraged, this didn't necessarilymean that the music was simple. To hear theevolution of these Mozart's trios is to witnessthe maturity of his genius.I can' t imagine finer performances of thesetrios than that to be found on this recording. Theimpeccable musicianship of the Gryphon Trio -violinist Annalee Patipatakoon, 'cellist RomanBorys, and pianist Jamie Parker - is evidentthroughout. Everything from the delicate pianis­~imo, the pulsating Allegro, the elegant lyricism,it's all there. Mesmerizing, stunning. What morecan I say? If you' re smart, you'll go out and buythis recording right away. Who knows, maybelistening to it may make you even smarter?Frank NakashimaConcert Notes: The Gryphon Trio is featuredin Christos Hatzis' Constantinople which willhave five performances June 7 - 9 at the BlumaAppel Theatre as part of Luminato.

She is in demand as a chamberplayer and soloist(she has 40 concerted works inher repertoire ... so far) and is booked with orchestrasthrough 2009.In 200 I the BBC made a video of her as soloistin the Vivaldi Four Seasons with twelve playersfrom the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields playingin the National Botanical Gardens of Wales.To say that she is in full control of her instrumentsensitive, and communicative does not convey th~full scope of her talents. As was the case in theVivaldi, when listening to the Brahms violin concertoon this disc, I found myself with the sameenthusiasm as hearing this work for the first time.Her freshness and originality is in perfect classicalstyle and imparts her admiration for the composer.Russian-born American conductor YakovKreizberg, her usual conductor on recordings, isof the same mind. With so many new recordingsof the Brahms concerto appearing, this performance,recorded in December 2006 in Amsterdamis noticeably well above average and is her bestrecording to date. The recording, heard eitheronCD or SACO is of demonstration quality.The double concerto, recorded one year earlier,perhaps because of the engineering, does nothave the same impact as the violin concerto althoughFischer is equally inspired and Daniel Miiller­Schott is with her all the way.It is with good reason that Fischer's newrecordings are eagerly awaited by her admirers.Perfection in the Heifetz or Milstein mode whilestill fresh and newly inspired is quite rare.

This fourth CD of his music featuresthree works for oboe and piano, one piece forflute and piano, and a quartet for oboe, cello, pianoand percussion.Written for the celebrated oboist Josef Marxin the late '30s, the sardonic, humourous and expressiveoboe/piano pieces reflect an eclectic varietyof influences: Les Six on one hand, Hindemithand Co. on the other, or so it sounds to me. ThePiece in Two Parts for Flute and Piano, writtenalmost twenty years later, has a more experimentalsensibility and makes use of some extendedtechniques; and the Piece for quartet (1955)sounds positively aleatoric - I did occasionallywonder if a toddler had been let loose amongstthe percussion instruments, so delightfully eccentricare some of the effects.Wolpe 's music isn't an easy listen, but it is alwayscarefully considered and of rich integrity,and receives performances of the highest calibrehere. Heinz Holliger, Robert Aitken and JamesAvery are virtuosos of the highest rank, and theFreiburg-based Ensemble SurPlus plays brilliantlytoo. This musical excellence is matched by theengineering of this recording, and by the comprehensiveprogram notes of Austin Clarkson.Alison Melville58Out of the BlueNexus and Fritz HauserIndependent NEXUS 10814(www.nexuspercussion.com)Having met at Stockholm's1998 InternationalPercussionFestival, Torontobasedpercussion ensembleNexus andSwiss percussionistFritz Hauser fellmadly head overheels with each other'smusic. Six years down the line, Nexus performedin tandem with Fritz Hauser at Nashville'sPercussive Arts Society International Convention."Out of the Blue" captures two pieces from Nashvilleperformance along with one piece put to tapeat University of Toronto's Walter Hall. The albumfeatures three pieces, one solo Nexus, onesolo Hauser and one a true collaboration betweenthe two.The solo Nexus piece is the most march-likeout of all three pieces included here. Striding with astrict, army-like precision, the piece The Army 214features a masterful military parade percussion rollwith a beat that just won't quit. The closing sectionof the piece - "Crazy Army" - touches on sambaterritory and features heavy use of cow bell. FritzHauser's piece is much more subtle. For the firstfew minutes, Hauser is locked in a tight multi-rhythmicpattern on the toms. Then, he spends a gooddeal of time on shimmering cymbals-scrapes, lightfizzles and finally, for the last ten minutes, builds upsteam to release a multi-layered rhythmic orgasm.The centrepiece of the record - 25 minute Outoft he Blue - is a masterful collaboration betweenHauser and Nexus. In the words of Hauser, "Improvisingwith Nexus is like having 10 extra armsand ears and being surrounded by about 150 yearsof musical experience." This is exactly what thetwo factions bring forth. Nexus' disciplined approachbrings about a more serene approach fromHauser, while his hyper-activity forces Nexus toplay with extra vigour. An excellent record allaround, one that should bring new followers forboth factions.Tom SekowskiJAZZ AND IMPROVISEDTwo for the RoadArlene Smith; Mark EisenmanIndependent RDRCD9596(www.arlenesmith.ca)Intimately recordedin the Loach homestudio, this recordingbrings veteran singerArlene Smith andpiano powerhouseMark Eisenman togetherfor a lovelylounge session withsimply voice and pianoaccompaniment.

But it's not aone-way street. North American music - jazz andblues - has helped shape bossa nova, too, andwhat we get is the best of both worlds; complexharmonies, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and melodiesideally suited to soft, vibrato-free voices, breathysax and nylon-string guitar.Donat has written al I eight tunes on the discand he is heavily indebted to Jobim and the newermasters of traditional bossa, with whom he playedand studied during his years living in Rio de Janeiro.Donat shares vocal duties with Claire Shaw,the resultant interplay reminiscent of Joao and AstrudGilberto. Mike Murley brings his considerabletenor sax skills to a number of the tunes, mostnotably the high energy Breakfast Samba, whileEvan Shaw turns in an appropriately restrainedalto performance on lpanema Breeze. KevinTurcotte on trumpet and tlugel horn, Gord Sheardon piano and Alan Heatherington andAnil Sharma,who take turns on drums and percussion,round out the band.

tive Michael Mc­Clennan has put fortha fine effort with hisdebut CD "Sing in MeMuse". The fine cast,(featuring Tara Davidson,Kelly Jefferson,Pol Cousse, John~------~ Macleod, WilliamCarn, David Braid and Sly Juhas) chums out primarilyoriginal tunes by McClennan, with the inclusionof two "standards"- a quirky take on theLerner and Lowe classic, On the Street WhereYou Live and a languid and sensual interpretationof the rarely performed Jimmy Dorsey ballad, f 'mGlad There is You - both highlights on this dynamic,self-produced recording.Other stand-outs include the joyous Celtic-flavouredtitle track, featuring solid, full-throttle workfrom Kelly Jefferson on tenor and Tara Davidsonon soprano, the inspired tribute to Benny Golson,Good as Golson (with seamless and swingingperformances from the ensemble), and the downand funky closer, Mr. D s New Shoes.Mike McClennan possesses a gorgeous basssound- fat, resonant and melodic - which makesme wish that perhaps there had been a few morebass features - but perhaps Mike was more interestedin the development of his material utilizinga tight group format, than he was in presentinghimselfas a soloist.McClennan's compositional style is complexand emotionally turbulent, reminiscent of the greatGil Evans (particularly Gil's "Nonet" period). Hiscompositions are not just tunes, but melodic journeys.However, at a certain point, even with theinspired arrangements and top-flight musicianshipa hint of sameness was palpable. Nonetheless,Sing in Me Muse is a work of complex beauty,and Michael McClennan is one of the most interestingbassist/composers on the scene today.Lesley Mitchell-ClarkeConcert Note: Tara Davidson is featured in theCAMMAC Sunday Concert Series at the Mc­Michael Art Gallery on June 17.NohFram;ois Carrier QuartetAyler Records aylDL027 (www.ayler.com)Extending and expandingin-the-momentimprovisationsover more than 67fram,:ols carrierquartet oohminutes, Fran9oisCarrier's quartet ~-1creates five memorabletracks whilenegating the old clicheabout Montreal-Toronto rivalry.ngs.chr:l ~ nrl1llllt:11:1111mkhtUamAlthough three of the four musicians are Montrealers- drummers John Heward and MichelLambert plus alto and soprano saxophonist Carrie- the fourth is Hogtown guitarist Reg Schwager.More surprising is the plectrumist's inclusion,in that he usually works the mainstream side ofthe street.)

LIFT OFF! The Naughtiest Eurydice: Glimmerglass Opera's Orpheus CycleColumnist Phil Ehrensaftcircles his summer calendarGlimmerglass Opera, the crown jewel in NorthAmerica's summer opera season, celebrates the400th anniversary of Monteverdi 's seminal 1607Orfeo with four Orpheus and Eurydice productionsthat span the history of opera as a genre.Glimmerglass lies at the eastern end of thesouthern, U.S. branch of the Golden Horseshoe.The driving distance from downtown Toronto toCooperstown, NY, is actually a bit less than thedrive from TO to downtown Montreal.Operatic passion for the Orpheus and Eurydicemyth commenced with the 1607 Monteverdi.Glimmerglass then takes us to the classicalera with Gluck's iconic Orphee et Eurydice,which premiered in 1761. Gluck's elegant masterpieceis the essence of the ancien regime.Next in line, and a Can-Can line at that, isJacques Offenbach's 1858 send-up -- of Gluck,a stilted Parisian grand theatre, and all Greek mythologyto boot -- Orphee aux enfers (Orpheusin the Underworld). This will be a big momentfor the rising Canadian, Jean-Marie ZeitoWli, whoconducts.Orphee was the first full-length operetta. Tomy ears and eyes, it is still the paramount operetta,even when lined up against the musical andcomic genius of misters Gilbert and Sullivan. OnceOffenbach's tongue-in-cheek Orpheus is experienced,it is difficult to attend an achingly tragicOrpheus. In Offenbach, Eurydice is a bored wifewho can't stand her musician husband's lugubriousviolin, and has the hots for a shepherd whoturns out to be Pluto. She's happy as a lark to dieand run down to Hades with her beau. Orpheusis ecstatic to get rid of her but caves in to thepressures of Dame Public Opinion to seek Eury-dice out in Hades. Meanwhile, Eurydice finds Plutoas irritating as her husband. Jupiter, being olderand wiser, devises the Orpheus-looking-back trickto make sure that Eurydice stays underground,where she happily ends up as a good-time girl inthe service of Bacchus. All of this is served up inone smashing aria after another, plus the Galopinfernal that became the epitomal Can-can.
