In September 1993, a visionary touring program named Piano Six took up the challenge of extendingclassical music to rural and remote communities, giving them access to live performances and teaching byworld-renowned classical musicians. To realize this ambition, six of Canada's top concert pianists -founderJanina Fialkowska and her celebrated colleagues, Angela Hewitt, Jon Kimura Parker, Angela Cheng,Marc-Andre Hamelin and Andre Laplante -waived their usual fees and took 10 days each year from theirbusy international careers to perform and teach in outlying schools, churches and concert halls acrossCanada. Piano Plus expands upon this award-winning program to include many more of Canada's premiervocalists and instrumentalists. Please help us bring music to these communities. Visit www.pianoplus.ca

foR OPENERS •••GREAT CHAMBER MUSIC DOWNTOWNBe thankful for small mercies, dear readers. Such as, forexample , the fact that the music we cover mostly measures itsseasons from September to June. So you get spared the lists of "bestof, worst of, most surprising, least heralded" that swamp papers andperiodicals at the end of the calendar year. After all, who needsreflection in July when the sun on the water can do it for you?Not to disillusion you if you love that kind of thing, but you do realize,don't you, that they're just a sneaky way for writers to file twostories at once, two weeks before Christmas, so they can get the hellout of town to avoid having to read all the "best, worst, most" stuffthat swamps papers and periodicals at the end of the calendar year.And even if we wanted to, it's hard to know when we could, thesedays, because even the good old September-to-June classical scenebarely stops to catch breath before galloping off into the summeronset.That being said, this year we've succumbed and decided to have a bitof a go at the "best of' seasonal cusp comment thing. Thank you toour seven beat columnists for getting into the spirit of things -allowing the editorial staff to turn the tables and have the writersanswer the questions instead of asking them . Same five questions toeach, mostly but not entirely looking back. Fun for us (and them, itseems.) We hope for you as well.Come to think of it, no one asked me for my responses. So here goes,anyway.In answer to the first question? - a tie: Yannick Nezet-Seguin, agood four inches off the podium, sailing into the final movement ofthe Brahms Fourth (energico e passionato as it says in the score -except there wasn't one in sight) and the TSO hanging on for dearlife, revelling in the ride; and Anton Kuerti on the stage at WalterHall (again with nary a note in sight) walking back and forth betweenkeyboard and front of stage, walking the audience back and forththrough the Diabelli Variations (and then, seated at the keys takingthe piece all the way to heights that before I'd only half heard in it).Second question? - probably the boatload of cash siphoned off bygovt. to the new festival on the block; the grand design being, itseems, to convince the world that the only time Toronto is worthvisiting culturally is during the first couple of weeks in June. Um,am I missing something?Third - I'd have spent more space than this remembering the kick inthe stomach hearing that the COC 2007-2008 season would startwithout Richard Bradshaw at the helm - just when it seemed that"music director" and "conductor" were set to become the biggerpart of his COC legacy. (And perhaps reflecting a bit on the fact thattoday's announcement by the COC of a successor, fills only one ofthe three pairs of shoes that Bradshaw wore.) Could have beenworse, though. They might have appointed a stage director to the job.Question four? Soweto String Quartet will get me almost all the wayto Elora's Gambrel Barn for a late July jaunt to listen to a jazz singerI like.And as for question five - can't possibly top the columnists' flights offancy on that one. (Although doubtless a few readers will want totry.) If you think you can, send your suggestions to editorial@thewholenote.com and I'll pass them on to the artists in question,pretending they were my own ideas, of course.A final note: this is WholeNote number 140.

Serving upthe Soundsof SummerFour "festivals" through their curators' eyesInterviews by David Perlman, Allan Pulker, and Catherine MuirThere are dozens of summer music series and festivals in this part ofCanada. Each one has its own character - a "fit" with the landscape itis set in. And behind each one there is a visionary, a "curator" whoplans and programmes it, taking months to make sure each detail isright before the summer comes. From southernmost and westernOntario to the eastern townships of Quebec, we've picked four festivalsand talked to their directors about the curatorial process. Thesefestivals are not only geographically representative but also reflectthe range of the festival experience: Summer Music in the Garden,Festival de Lanaudiere, Niagara International Chamber Music Festival,and Stratford Summer Music.For each of the dozens of festivals in our festival listings, there issome individual like the people interviewed here with an equallyfascinating vision and story to tell. We hope that after you meetthese four, you will turn to our festival listings and discover,through each one's programming, the people who make it happen.Tamara Bernstein, Summer Music in the GardenThe Toronto Music Garden opened in 1999; and its first concertseries was held in 2000. Tamara Bernstein came on board as curator/artisticdirector in 2001 .Tamara: Don Shipley, who was then head of programming for HarbourfrontCentre, invited me. Even though-true confession!-! hadnever even been to the Music Garden, and didn't even realize therewas a summer concert series in it - I said yes immediately. I wasvery, very drawn to curating, and to the whole concept. Imagine: achance to share music I love, and musicians whose playing I love,with the whole city; to give musicians a chance to perform for amuch wider demographic than you usually find in classical musicconcerts, and to experiment with programming without having toworry about selling tickets-what a gift! Sure, there's a price to payfor being outdoors, and that first season I didn't know what to expectwith ambient noise, rainouts, amplification, and whether musicianswould want to play outdoors. But I just approached some ofmy favourite musicians and hoped for the best. Right from the startthe musicians were fantastic. What I hadn't anticipated was the magicof the Music Garden itself .... I'm still constantly amazed by howintently Music Garden audiences listen, given that this is an outdoorconcert. I'll never forget a solo improvisation that the dancer JuliaSasso performed without music last summer: the audience's intense,silent attention was such a strong presence that it "drowned out" anyambient noise, odd though that sounds! It also fascinates me to seehow attentive children are during Music Garden concerts. My theoryis that because they know that if they need to move around they can,they don't need to move around (though I love it when children-oradults, for that matter-get up and dance).The Music Garden concerts have certainly confirmed my ownfaith in classical music. People are hungry for this stuff! And I'mnot just talking about "greatest hits": The first time I programmed aconcert of wacky, early 17th-century Baroque violin sonatas, I hadno idea how it would go over: Baroquies adore this music, but atypical symphonic musician would have no idea what to do with itthemusical language is so different. Well, the audience went crazyover it-afterwards a little boy, maybe eight years old, begged for aCD by the group; adults came up with pens and paper, wanting the('Lspelling of the composers' names. So now I make sure there's atleast one concert of early l 7th-century Italian music each season.(This year it's Folia, on July 27.) And string quartets, which areone of the most sophisticated forms of music-making, are alwayshugely popular at the Garden. Yes, people who think that classicalmusic is passee, or that it's a pill that needs to be sugared, definitelyneed to come to the Music Garden!So how do you choose?It's a juggling act, on many levels: there are moments each yearwhen it feels like a big, crazy Rubik's cube that will never fall intoplace! Returning versus new artists; balancing genres of music­Medieval-Renaissance, Baroque, "standard" European canon, newmusic, South Asian classical, Middle Eastern classical; Chinesemusic, Japanese music ... And I've been trying to expand the contemporarydance component, although that requires commissioningmoney, as well as dancers-choreographers who are comfortableworking on the grass, in a very low-tech environment. The culturaleclecticism is really important to me. You can always hear musicfrom different ethnic cultures in Toronto if you're plugged into aparticular community. But I think it means a lot to people when theycan enjoy classical or traditional music from their own culture in amainstream, public space like the Music Garden. (Where else canyou see women in saris clapping and singing along in the chorus ofa Yiddish song?) This takes multiculturalism to a whole differentlevel, for me.I've also started to pay attention to-all right, obsess over!-theoverall shape and flow of the season. The simplest example: theMusic Garden is all about a piece for cello (Bach's Suite No. 1 in GMajor for solo cello), so I now like to open the season with a smallensemble of cellos. It's "culturally neutral " because it's about theGarden itself. Also it's an ensemble concert, so that puts the focuson community. I like to return to Bach in a more reflective way inthe final stretch of the season, in the Bach at Dusk concert that happensin early September. Right now Winona Zelenka is working herway through all six of Bach's Suites for solo cello-one a year!That's always a special moment.Other things?There are a zillion-large versus small groups, new music, old music,dance-you name it, I will agonize over it! And I know thatthere are some loyal audience members who can only come to theThursday night concerts, and others who only come Sunday afternoons.So I try to make sure that if there are three string quartets ona season, they don't all perform on the same day of the week. AlsoHarbourfront Centre, which produces the Music Garden concerts,has a different theme, or focus, each summer. (This year's is "Borders.")I tuck it away in my subconscious, listen to what musicianswhom I like are excited about right now, and try to give them theopportunity to perform that. Then when I've finished booking theseason, I return to Harbourfront's theme . And you know what? Sofar it has always worked out. I hope this doesn't sound as if thecurating is all anxiety. I really enjoy it as a creative process too, andtry to leave room for serendipity and intuition - that's the fun part!I find it hard to imagine the series anywhere else at this point.8 WWW. THEWHOLENOTE.COM ] ULY 1 - SEPT 7 2008

"In my first season,2001, a sudden thunderstormbrought an abruptend to a children'sconcert created byviolinist Julia Wedmanand double bassistPeter Pavlovsky, justas the concert gotunderway. We all fledfor shelter, but Peterand Julia got soaked.Then the sun came backout, and a small group of children returned with their parents, and Peter andJulia didn't have the heart to turn them away. There was no way we could useamplification at that point-the ground was too wet-so everyone cozied upand they gave their show anyway. We are now much better prepared, withtarps, umbrellas etc.! I don 't think any performers have actually gotten wetsince that one time. "I'm glad you feel the same way about the venue as I do! The beautyand creativity of the Music Garden attracts performers and choreographersGust as some of its flowers specifically attract butterflies!),and that makes my life much easier! Performing out of doors is noteasy in musical genres that demand the kind of subtlety that we expectfrom classical musicians. But musicians really respond to theMusic Garden, partly because of the audiences, and because theconcerts are free, but also because the sheer beauty of the venue isso inspiring. And although I'm totally biased, I would say that theconcerts give the Music Garden its voice. I cycle there during nonconcerttimes, and see its different lives, the light at different timesof day, etc. But to me it always seems to be listening, waiting forthe next concert!People come from all over the city to the concerts-I know onesenior who walks most of the way from Scarborough every Sunday.At the risk of sounding flakey, I also feel that the concerts leave asort of a psychic imprint, as it were, on the Garden- energy thatcontributes to its spirit of place. For instance, one of the 13 bouldersthat half encircle the willow tree will always be "Julia's rock" forme now, because it's the boulder that choreographer-dancer JuliaSasso sat on in the beautiful piece she created for last year's season(to Heinrich Biber's Passacaglia for solo violin). You felt as thoughthat boulder had been waiting for Julia its whole long life!This year's programming in particular?I'm looking forward to every concert so it's hard to single thingsout ... A couple of new dance works commissioned through HarbourfrontCentre. Aug 17 Hari Krishnan and his company in­DANCE give the world premiere of a full-length piece inspired bySouth Asian mythology (Five Gods, Two Kings and the Frog Princess)-it'slarge-scale, for the Music Garden, with 10 dancers andsix musicians. Keiko Kitano (dancer-choreographer) and Aki Takahashi(musician-composer) are creating a shorter piece for Sep 11,inspired by the Music Garden's willow tree, which in Japanese traditionis often connected to ghosts, particularly of women. We alsohave a few out-of-town performers this year: Kiri Tollaksen, NorthAmerica's pre-eminent cornettist, is coming up from Ann Arbor toperform 17th-century music with Linda Melsted's group Folia (July27); and percussionist Aiyun Huang is coming in from Montreal todo a solo recital July 24, but instead of showing up with a van fullof instruments, as percussionists usually do, she has set herself thechallenge of designing a program for which all the instruments haveto fit in her suitcase.Wish list? Crystal ball?Wish list: In general, I'd like there to be less noise everywhere inthe world; I'd like Canada's artists-particularly in the performingarts- to be better paid than they usually are - they are the soul ofour cities. We also need more free concert series like the MusicGarden and the series in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre, in thenew opera house.Crystal ball?

Father Lindsay,Festival deLanaudiereThree years ago, inWholeNote you called theAmphitheatre deLanaudiere "a place unlikeany other. " Can yousay more?If you go to the Tanglewoodor Ravinia Festivals,they have nice settings,but none of theseplaces have a natural amphitheatrelike Lanaudiere.People are on the lawn,and the audience doesn'thave a good view of what's happening onstage, whereas at Lanaudiere, we have anatural amphitheatre, slanted, so not only doyou have an excellent view under the roof,but on the lawn you have a good view ofeverything happening on stage. Also, theacoustics are exceptional. We have artistsfrom all over the world that have been comingto this festival for years and years forthe acoustics. I remember a famous basssinger from the Metropolitan Opera, PaulPliscka, who has sung at music festivalsaround the world-he says, "I've done themall, in Europe and America, and this place iswhere the sound is different. Usually singingoutdoors is overwhelming ... becausethere is not the resonance of a concert hallor music room. Singing outdoors takes a lotof effort. At Lanaudiere I can sing in a veryrelaxed and natural manner."Before 1989, the festival was held onlyin different small churches in the area, andat the cathedral in Joliette. Now we have theamphitheatre, still in very good conditionafter 18 years, and still have the smallchurches for events such as recitals andchamber music.Does it get easier or harder with time?I've been doing this since ... always. I startedstudying music at the age of five, and as ateenager I was already accompanying andorganizing concerts for friends. And at theage of 25, I became the person in charge ofthe Jeunesse Musicales du Canada, the NationalYouth Orchestra. I was in charge ofthe NYO in the Lanaudiere area. Being incharge of the NYO, I organized classicalmusic concerts here in the region of Joliette,to which ballet, theatre, and other forms ofdance were later added. And then later on Ibecame in charge of the school of music atthe Joliette seminary. In 1967 I founded theCamp musical de Lanaudiere, a trainingcentre for youth of 8-17. This camp stillexists, and this summer it is training 500students over 2 months. I had the idea forthe Festival de Lanaudiere in 1963, aftervisiting the famous Salzburg and Beyreuthfestivals in Europe. I thought that if thesesmall cities can have important festivals,why can't Joliette have a similar festival? SoWWW. THEWHOLENOTE.COMLanaudiere 's natural outdoor amphitheatreI started the Festival de Lanaudiere in 1978.As time went on, my job as director followeda very natural path. Progression wasvery gradual-not effortless, but still verynatural and continuous. I am 80 years oldthis year, and because of my age I need torely more on my team-there are currentlyeight employees full time at the festival. Alot of the legwork is being shifted to myteam.I'm assuming that to some extent touringartists choose themselves based on availability.But there is also a great artistic aspectto your job. Can you talk about that?When you want to attract European artistsespecially, if they are not on tour in NorthAmerica it is very difficult to bring them infor a one-night stand. So naturally we workwith other classical music festivals in NorthAmerica, exchange ideas and collaborate, andwe will all choose a particular artist so that atour will fly. The tour is very similar everyyear for the musicians we bring in fromEurope-they go to the Lincoln Centre, Tanglewood,Ravinia, and the Hollywood Bowlin Los Angeles. And here. To Joliette.But there's more to it than just itinerarymaking.The festival has a very clear visionstatement: we balance accessibility by programmingknown works with original andlesser-known works. We sometimes premiereCanadian works, as we did last summer andwe will doing again this summer, whichinvolves taking a risk. Classical music is nota very popular art form, so we have to workwith a limited budget. We can't afford tolose money and go overboard , so we balancetop notch soloists and upcoming artists.There are artists on the brink of becominginternational stars, but after a while they arecaught up in Europe and don't come toNorth America anymore, so we try to getthem to come to Lanaudiere before theybecome too famous! July is downtime forEuropean musicians, but it's our big time, sowe have to count on the touring musicians.Lanaudiere in one sentence?Simply put, the Lanaudiere festival is themost important classical music festival inCanada. To elaborate, we are the only festivalthat is on the list of large-scale touringJ UL Y 1 - S EPT 7 2008

European orchestras. Very few smaller festivalscan afford to bring in what we can. Forexample, this year we have a 30-piece baroqueensemble-Freiburg Baroque Orchestra,from Freiburg, Germany, performing anall Mozart concert with famed baritone ChristianGerhaher. Last summer we had PaavoJarvi, the conductor in charge of the CincinnatiOrchestra, at Lanaudiere for a completeBeethoven symphony cycle, with theDeustche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen,another orchestra from Germany.In 2005, you told us that "the festival wasborn of a dream". Did you dream that after30 years it would be this?The festival has the same mission and visiongoing into its 3 lst year as when it started,everything has been done with a great senseof continuity, a tradition of excellence, andafter 30 years the same enthusiasm. Thesense of continuity is important to emphasize.My heart is in the essence of whatclassical music is and that means the musicitself. I don't see any compromise in thequality that we are programming currently. Iam very open to renewing the way it is presented,however. For example, this summer,our production of Holst's The Planets willbe accompanied by projections of imagesfrom NASA on a giant screen and a narratorcommenting on the images. I am not againstrenewing the way things are presented withoutcompromising on the quality of the festival.The big challenge nowadays is to get theyounger audience to be interested in classicalmusic when they aren't exposed to it at anearly age in school or in their families. Duringthe summer children and youth are usuallyaway with their families or are busy withsummer activities. So we offer free admissionfor children under 12. And our ArtisticAmbassador Alain Lefevre is very dedicatedto youngsters and tours schools every yearinitiating youth to classical music.Beyond the huge time commitment to Festivalde Lanaudiere, what do you do (the rest ofthe year)?I am also the director of the Camp musicalde Lanaudiere. I direct a choir in Joliette,and I attend daily mass.Eco-Arts in Canada'sHaliburton HighlandsJohn Miller, Stratford Summer MusicSeems like everything out there musically inthe summer is labelled "-Jest" or ''festival".You don't.We must be the only festival in Canadawhich does its damnest not to be known as afestival, because when one says "festival"and "Stratford", one naturally thinks of ourdrama colleagues. So, we at Stratford SummerMusic work hard to market ourselveswithout the "f' word - our name simply sayswhere, when and what. Yet, having saidthat, there is one major lesson I've learnedfrom watching the Stratford Festival closelyover many years. What made the S.F. 's 14years under Richard Monette's direction suchwinners has been variety. Like Monette, Ishamelessly want to admit that people havewidely differing tastes. Just as the StratfordFestival annually offers more plays by au-J ULY 1 - SEPT 7 2008thors other than Shakespeare than by the bardhimself, we are presenting programming thatis more than Bach and Shostakovich. We'vegot Bilodeau, Cheung, Hatch, Richards andSchafer - and they're all Canadians!In my Canadian Music Centre days weused to worry about ghettoizing contemporarycomposers. Here I'm not segmentingclassical musicians and composers but rathersetting their performances among jazz, musictheatre, bands, children's music, even atouch of r/r as with our August Civic Holidaysalute to musical traditions and celebratedartists from this very community.How did it start?A few influences came together to lead me tostart Summer Music. I've always felt thatmusic should be an integral part of the Stratfordcultural experience, all the more sobecause music and the visual arts were seenby the founders of the Festival as complementaryto theatre.During the 14 years I was executive directorof The Glenn Gould Foundation, therewere always inquiries - most often international-about Gould and his days as the directorof classical music, and a performer, inStratford in the 1950s and '60s. This cityand its music history seemed always to bewith me. Then in December 1993, my partnerand I bought a house here as our weekendhome to be out of Toronto. On movingday, December 16, I arrived in Stratford,WWW.THEWHOLENOTE.COMHALIBURTONFOREST &WIW UJ'li B.Uli~Yl:Ll11Jl1D11

tired, and I went downtown for lunch, whereI ran into the Mayor. He asked what I wasdoing back in town and when I told him,remarked, "Great, so when can we havemusic again in the summers?"Later, in 1999, when Yo-Yo Ma was toreceive the annual Gould Prize, the cellistand his family came to Stratford to see aperformance of David Young's play, Glenn,after which Yo-Yo and I stayed up very lateone night at his B&B while I outlined myvision for what music could be in this city."You get it started", he said, "and I promiseI will come." (We've not arranged this yet,but we will!)Well, all those episodes kept percolatingin my mind and I was always dreaming uppotential seasons of artists and repertoire. By2000 the fantasies were so consuming thatmy partner, Andrey, told me this was beginningto bother him. "Fish, or cut bait," hesaid strongly- and that was all the impetus Ineeded to begin organizing a Board andcalling some artists I knew. Our first seasonof two modest weeks took flight in 2001 andnow we're at four weeks with a Board and acommunity anxious to see Summer Music grow.Again, I must tip my hat to the legacy oftheatre in Stratford. Scores of people want toperform in this city because they know itstands for the best in the arts. I've had sensationalproposals from artists and composers,sometimes via embassies, tourists andvisitors. This summer, for instance,we're welcoming Bob McGrath, acelebrated American musicianknown for his commitments to musiceducation and to young peoplethrough the music on his tv show,"Sesame Street". His visit cameabout because the leader of a NewYork-based trio, which had workedwith McGrath for many years,dropped by my office, unannounced,last August, when he was walkingdowntown during his annual StratfordFestival visit. This chap askedto speak with me about his group andwhether they could be part of afuture Summer Music season. Theresult is two concerts for childrenthis August and McGrath will alsodeliver our annual Harry SomersLecture, about his personal passion: the importanceof music in every education program.If there's any downside to the "theatrelegacy" aspect, it would be how many proposalsI get featuring Shakespearean texts putto music, thinking this is what our audienceswill want. Regrettably, however, such themeslead to the very sort of public identificationwhich I outlined above as our nemesis.Overall the kismet of who visits, and whathappens in Stratford, is extremely importantin helping me build a season. (And I have aStratford's Music Bargesecret weapon! - the Bed & Breakfast homeowners, many of whom quietly tell me of thefamous musicians staying in their establishmentswho have slipped into Stratford toenjoy the theatre. I won't name names -they'll show up in future concerts!) And thecalendar of course also sometimes tells youwhat to do. Our co-operation with the Austriangovernment and airline, leading to the visitof the Marionette Opera Theatre of SchonbrunnPalace in Vienna, came about as part ofthe international salute to Mozart in 2006.Our tribute programming honouring Glenn12WWW.

Gould in 2007 celebrated his 75th birthdayyear. And in 2010, we'll have our tenth seasonand celebrate some of the events fromour first decade.So while we work hard to identify ourselvesbefore the public as not being theStratford Festival, there is no doubt that theFestival has created a huge and positivesetting where music can flourish. I often saythat we simply could not have grown to fourweeks and 86 events in eight years if we hadset ourselves in business in Woodstock.(Sorry about that, Woodstock.)If there is one over-riding principlewhich guides the general development of aStratford Summer Music season it is mydesire to be fresh and unique in our programming.This doesn't always happen, butin retrospect, I think our seasons have beennotably different from what other summerfestivals have been presenting. Also important,a commitment to support and presentCanadian composers, arising directly frommy years as Director of the Canadian MusicCentre twenty-five years ago. I'm particularlypleased to say that this year we will havePius Cheung, Peter Hatch, Murray Schaferand Mark Richards, a young composer whohas boldly written his own opera, Hamlet,here for Summer Music. We're workingwith Hatch and Richards in the developmentof major new works they're developing;we're honouring Schafer in his 75th birthdayyear by reviving one of his finest environmentalworks, and we're presenting theyoung composer/marimbist Cheung, in oneof his first Ontario concerts. I have everyintention to keep the profile and participationof composers high so long as I'm at thehelm of Stratford Summer Music .One interesting change over the yearsrelates to our scheduling. We began totallyby setting our concerts and events around the2pm and 8pm theatre shows. But now we'restarting to claim our own ground with ourfirst effort in 2008 to set concerts at thesame time periods as the Festival. We'llhave, for instance, a 2pm Sunday recital byMeasha and jazz sets at 9: 15pm and10: 15pm. I'm anxious to see how these timeslots will work and if we find people coming,then we'll do more of this next year.After all, as the merchants, locals and B&Bowners constantly remind me, not everyonehere is at a drama in the afternoon and theevening.Looking ahead, if private and publicsector supporters continue to be with us asthey are, one can expect to see StratfordSummer Music grow. The extent of theprivate sector's support is another interestingaspect of our particular festival-damn,there's that "f" word again.QuoolibetAtis Bankas' NiagaraReading about John Miller's Stratford SummerMusic on the previous pages brings tomind another summer music series thatshares its home base with a giant theatrefestival. The Shaw Festival and the NiagaraInternational Chamber Music Festival peacefullycohabit Niagara-on-the-Lake in theNiagara Peninsula to the south of Toronto,as Stratford Summer Music and the StratfordFestival do to the west. I talked with theNiagara festival's founder and artistic directorAtis Bankas recently about the NiagaraFestival's past and present and how he dealswith Niagara-on-the-Lake's theatrical "elephantin the room".Bankas, a violinist and veteran of the firstviolin section of theToronto SymphonyOrchestra, was born inLithuania. He began toplay the violin there atthe age of five and as ayoung man won violincompetitions in Eastern MJi::llc- --'Europe and played in I,the symphony in Viln-.,....:..__JIius. In 1980, in searchof a better society than:··_. -· .___ \ ·_ '/'"that fostered by Sovietsoc1a . ]' ism, h e gave up 'i\ \ _.Iall he had, includinghis citizenship, andcame to Canada with amere eighty dollars andno prospects. Preparedto do anything to makea living, he was fortunate to land a paying jobwith the Niagara Symphony, and the verynext year he joined the Toronto Symphony.He has also had a distinguished teachingcareer on both sides of the border, but currentlylimits his teaching to the Glenn GouldProfessional School."What possessed you, " I asked, "to starta summer music festival?""It really started as a summer course inMuskoka. It was a high-level course withfaculty from all over the world, and the festivaljust grew out of it." The Muskoka LakesSummer Festival acquired its own existence,he explained, independent of the course, andthen the facility where it was held was soldand finding an affordable replacement provedimpossible. "So I began to look in the partof Canada which I had first gotten to know-Niagara- and approached Brock University."To make a long story short, the summerprogram was at Brock for a number of summers,but three years ago he decided to bringit to an end. The summer festival, however,that he started at the same time in Niagaraon-the-Lakecontinued and is now celebratingits tenth season.I asked how he went about programmingthe festival. Not surprisingly, Bankas sometimestakes his cue from the Shaw Festival'sprogramming: this season, for example, thefestival is offering two works by StephenSondheim, Follies and A Little Night Music.This summer, complementing the Shaw Festival,he is offering Marry me a Little, Sondheim'ssetting of songs from his other musicalsin a dialogue-free plot about the relationshipof two people, each in separate Manhattanapartments.He also takes his cues from the writingsof the theatre festival's namesake as well.Shaw's famous music criticism, Bankas explains,provides a more or less inexhaustiblesupply of thematic material. To programs ofmusic that Shaw reviewed or which wascomposed or was popular during Shaw's1 ;r,t,.-J1time, he will add readingsfrom Shaw, read by actorsfrom the Shaw Festival.Bankas' August 11show, Shaw on Mozart andBax, is this season's incarnationof this type ofprogramming. This year'sfestival is also offeringThe Wizard and HisParrot, a retelling byGladys Evan Morris ofthe Pygmalion story, onwhich Shaw's play, Pygmalion,was based.But it seems there is asecond giant on Bankas'turf. "This area alreadyhad something to offerbefore I came, the ShawFestival-and the wineries," says Bankas.Taking inspiration from the vineyards andwine-making that the region is known for, thewineries (there are eighteen wineries inNiagara-on-the-Lake alone) provide themesand venues for many of the festival's programs.One of the most popular is the Mozartweekend morning series, which takes placein local wineries, where you can listen toMozart quartets and trios while tasting wine!This summer's festival offerings also includeVivaldi Underground on August 9 at the InniskillinWinery with wine and hors d'oeuvresas well as music by the Red Priest.Yet another of his programming themescomes from the location's proximity to theAmerican border-you can actually see theUnited States across the Niagara River fromthe festival's office above the Pump HouseArt Gallery in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The"Musical Bridges" concerts are all builtaround this theme. One of these on August14 will feature The CanAmerata Quartet,composed of two Canadian musicians andtwo from Buffalo, New York, on August14, performing a program of music by Canadianand American composers.With the Shaw Festival sharing his festival'sspace and the Niagara wineries and theAmerican border mere kilometres away,14WWW. THEWHOLENOTE.COM] UL Y 1 - SEPT 7 2008

Ready for the music .. . the Vivaldi Underground concerton August 9 at the lnniskillin Winery features wine, horsd'oeuvres and music by the Red Priest.Bankas' approachto festivalprogrammingmay seemto stem morefrom geographythan perhapsother festival'sprogrammingmight, but atheart, as with allmusic festivals,his programmehas the festivalpatrons' interestsfront andcentre. "Deep down I'm an educator," says Bankas. "I want peopleto know what's good in music and share with them and educate themin one way or another. I want people to make connections that theymight not ordinarily make, to trigger their thinking and investigation."The 2008 season seems to offer it all-the festival's press release forthis year's tenth anniversary season invites patrons to "Have lunchwith Stephen Sondheim, share a glass of wine with Vivaldi, spend thenight with Brahms and wake up with Mozart."Seems the Niagara festival is indeed a feast for the ears. In fact,Bankas says he often thinks in terms of food in the way he serves upmusic at the festival: "Which dish goes best with which dish? Whatdo you offer for hors d 'oeuvres-the overture, the opening? What'sthe main course?" His words conjure up a visual image of how thediverse elements of his programming come together like a wonderfullyvaried but balanced meal-as he explains, "A concert has to makethat kind of sense in the way the elements are connected."Allan Pulker)I· the @.!!Z!!f postViolins, violas, cellos, and bowsComplete line of strings and accessoriesExpert repairs and rehairsCanada's largest stock of string musicFast mail order serviceQUALITY AND TRADITIONSINCE 1890MUSI KIDSTHE CHILDREN'S MUSIC DEPARTMENTBrass - Woodwind -String Instruments - GuitarBuy direct from the DistributorAUTHORIZED DEALER FOR:Armstrong.

Notes):I had the great pleasure ofplaying a ballad with a wonderfulpianist, John Bunch, ,at a recent jazz party ... hisaccompaniment was close tobeing sublime. Definitely amusical memory I shalltreasure. Another personalhighlight was at the recent Memories: Karen Ages with the KingstonArt Of Jazz tribute to John Symphony at Fort Henry. To her left,Norris, when the three ten- principal oboist Barbara Bolte.ors Kira Payne, Dan Blockand John McMurchie locked horns in a friendly jousting match in themusical interlude between Diminuendo and Crescendo In Blue. Ithought it was pretty special and that The Wee Big Band playedreally well that night. Unfortunately, the Globe & Mail critic thoughtotherwise and panned us. So a highlight for me was a flickeringcandle for him. Oh well, one man'smeat is another man's poisson!Allan Pulker (Choral Scene, Quodlibet):Of the concerts I have heardthis season, one that really stood outwas violinist Phoebe Tsang withpianist George Brough, playing Debussy'sSonata for Violin and Piano,and Dvorak's Romance for Violinand Piano (Op. I I In F minor).Phoebe's total commitment to bringingthat music fully to life at theHeliconian Hall was very inspiring.Frank Nakashima (Early Music): Inthis past season, members of Tafelmusikperformed nine of HeinrichIgnaz Franz von Biber's Mystery(Rosary) Sonatas, based on the Mysteryof the Life of Christ, some of themost beautiful music ever written for violin. These virtuosic workswere showcased by some of the finest exponents of the baroque violin,Christopher Verrette, Julia Wedman and Aisslinn Nosky, all ofwhom offered brilliant performances of these remarkable masterpieces.Jack MacQuarrie (BandStand): My most magical musical memory isnot of a band event! It was an amazing performance of Handel'sMessiah by the combined forces of the Elmer Iseler Singers and TheAmadeus Choir. In particular it was the crystal clear rendering bysoprano Meredith Hall. I have always held the opinion that audienceslisten with their eyes as well as their ears.

Composer MichaelSnelgrove had journeyed to Toronto from his home in Newfoundlandto hear his composition performed at that concert.Later that week, the annual spring concert for the students of Dr.Norman Bethune Collegiate of Scarborough featured four originalworks commissioned for the occasion. The school has a very highpercentage of students of Chinese ancestry, and as a music project,the students were asked to submit their favourite Chinese folk songs,which were then presented to noted American composer Elliot DelBorgo. From this melange of material the composer produced a mostengaging suite for the Senior Band, Five Songs of China.

As for the repertoire they'd play, I haveconfidence in the imaginative programming abilities of the folks concerned!Richard Marsella: I'd love to hear a collaboration between the AIMToronto Orchestra, Tafelmusik, and Dr. Steve Mann's States ofMatter Quintet!Jack MacQuarrie: My collaborator "beat" would be Early Music. Iwould hope to program a series of concerts tracing the history ofcommunity instrumental ensembles in Canada. There are sufficientrecords of band concerts in Ontario from the 1850s that would providea guide for programming. Would we be able to locate all partsof the proposed music? That could require some ingenuity. As forinstrumentation, we might find that more challenging. Did they havesuch instruments as ophicieides, helicons, sacbutts, serpents andsarrusaphones to go with their cornets, and saxhorns? If they did,where would we locate instruments in playable condition? PerhapsProfessor Henry Meredith could help us there.Jim Galloway: It might be interesting to put a horn player, let's saysaxophonist Mike Murley, with Nagata Shachu, the wonderful groupof traditional Japanese drummers, and let them go wherever the musicwould take them, although I refuse to admit that I have a yen tohear such a performance!Chris Haile: In 2003 I reviewed the premiere of a jazz opera calledQuebecite by D.D. Jackson and George Elliott Clarke that attemptedto tell a modern story using various modes of jazz and world musicas its medium. While it was not entirely successful, it did show howexciting such a combination could be. A jazz/world music operawould be particularly appropriate for a modern retelling of a classicstory set in such a multicultural country as Canada.Allan Pulker: A couple of months ago I saw the film I recommendedin my column, The Singing Revolution, about the role choral musicplayed in the liberation of Lithuania from Soviet domination. Theliberation happened largely because about 140 years ago a huge annualchoral singing festival involving around 20,000 people all singingtogether was organized. I'd love to see us do something like thisin Canada, maybe at the Rogers Centre!Frank Nakashima: I think a collaboration between the Opera Divisionof the Faculty of Music at U of T and the Toronto ContinuaCollective could do something for the advancement of vocal art. Itwould also be great to assemble several local choirs to perform Striggio'sgigantic Missa sopra Ecco si beato giorno in 40 and 60 parts.Any exchange of musical ideas can be a healthy thing!22 WWW.

Here we will have thechance to sing with other professionalchoirs from around theworld. I can't wait!What concerts to you like to attend?I attend some concerts by the TorontoChildren's Chorus: this ismostly because my sister is inchoir, but also because I enjoysome of the non-religious piecesthat we do not get to perform. Ialso attend concerts of the VictoriaScholars, a tenor and bass choirdirected by a most brilliant andinsane man, Dr. Jerzy Cichocki.He makes any choir sound professional,and I especially enjoy thecomplex program.What qualities make you admire achoral conductor?When I look at the very successfuland admirable conductor of theChoir School' s senior choir, JerzyCichocki, I see four things: control, a passion for good music,for perfection, and only theslightest hint of insanity- I mean,musical genius! Doc doesn't letanything slide; a flat note, awrong rhythm, a weak entry, andhe stops everything to fix it. Hewill rehearse one phrase seven oreight times, and then ... if it'sperfect, he will ask us to do itthree more times!An anecdote?We were singing Christmas repertoirein Pickering. The audiencewas silent. Doc raised hishands ... and someone's cellphone rang behind him. Doc'shands drop to his sides, and heturns around slowly to face theperson with the phone. All wasquiet. The person averted hereyes from Doc, and turned offher cell phone with embarrassment.Doc turned around, flasheda smile, and the concert began!The school's newest recording,ITheFrom Courts on High, is a recordingseventy years in the making,with all twenty-five selectionscomposed by one of the school'smusic directors or close associates.All boys and men's voicesare featured, from the sweetestand youngest to a full 250-voicefinale(the title track). Ryan, ingrade 11 this fall, says:I am in all of the songs performedby the senior choir. Wewere recording right around thetime my voice was starting tobreak, so it was interesting hearingmy voice on the CD!

Book Shelfby Pamela MarglesA Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould'sObsessive Quest for the Perfect Pianoby Katie HafnerMcClelland & Stewart272 pages, photos;$27.95In yet another look at theobsessions that plaguedGlenn Gould, the focusthis time is not on his eccentricitiesor his mentalstate but where it mattersmost - his musicmaking.American journalistKatie Hafner looksat Gould's lifelong search for the perfect piano.She tells how, after much frustration, he finallyfound his ideal instrument in 1960, sitting neglectedbackstage in Toronto's Eaton Auditorium.He worked with his expert piano technicianVerne Edquist to make adjustments, andended up with the light, responsive action herequired for his distinctive sound. Hafnermakes it clear how important this piano, aSteinway known as CD 3 18, became forGould's creative output. In fact, he made thebulk of his recordings - over ninety - on it.Jn 1971 Gould had CD 318 shipped to a recordingsession in Cleveland. He ended upcanceling the session, but the piano arrivedback in Toronto with a split soundboard andcracked iron plate. Edquist was the first one toexamine the badly damaged piano, and Hafnerdescribes in detail what he found. We realizehow heart-breaking Gould's ultimately fruitlessefforts to restore the piano were, and howemotionally stressful it was for him to find anotherpiano to replace it.But given the number of interviews Hafnerundertook, according to her notes, there 's surprisinglylittle other new material here. There isnot enough - new or revisited - to fill a book,so Hafner gets sidetracked into topics like pianomanufacture, Edquist's early life, andGould's love affair with Cornelia Foss, all ofwhich, while interesting, have little to do withher story.Hafner includes a bibliography, but her referencesare at best spotty, and many directquotations have no citations whatsoever. Oneparagraph starts out, "All ofEdquist's tinkeringeventually created an instrument that wasso jittery it got what can only be described asthe hiccups." At the end of the same paragraphshe writes that eventually Gould " startedreferring to the extra notes - the " hiccups" -as his "friends"." Who is she quoting here -herself? Gould? Edquist?At least Hafner doesn't revisit Gould's childhood,which has been covered many times bywriters more elegant and insightful than she.Her breezy style, peppered with phrases like"popped up all over the place", tends towardshyperbole. From what I know of Edquist, whowas my piano tuner for a number of years, hewould appreciate being described, justly, as amaster piano technician, but would never claimto be the "genius" Hafner calls him.This book seems to be sending a message thatwe now have enough books on Gould. Clearlyit's time to concentrate on his recordings.Mozartby Hermann AbertYale University Press1543 pages;$55.00 usAlthough Gennan musicologistHennann Abert'sbiography of Mozart hasbeen widely consideredthe most substantialstudy of the composerMozartI· i =,t,1Arll. ,\C[IITsince its publication eighty years ago, thismarks the first time it has been translated intoEnglish. Abert initially planned to revise OttoJahn's important four-volume mid-19"' centurystudy of Mozart, but instead ended up producinga new work altogether.Abert shows how inseparable Mozart's lifeis from his music by interspersing studies ofMozart's works with chapters on his life. Herightly gives primacy to the rich trove of Mozart'sletters that survives (still not fully translatedinto English).The Mozart Abert presents is far more appealing- and convincing - than the idiot savantdepicted by confections like the popularfilm Amadeus. His Mozart is a sensitive, affable,spontaneous, yearning, anguished, innocent,emotionally complex, imaginative andgentle soul. With psychological insight, Abertvividly shows how all these qualities are expressedin each of Mozart's works. " For him,"he writes, "form was not a fixed pattern ordead letter: rather, it was something that wascreated and new with each new work, a livingforce inexplicably bound up with him and hisinner life".Nor is Mozart here the helpless incompetentoften depicted. Abert credits Mozart with controlover his own destiny, tragic though it mayultimately be. He shows how Mozart's problemswith money and recognition arose fromthe same non-judgmental credulousness whichmade him able to create such great operaticcharacters. In contrast to many of today'sscholars, Abertis quite sympathetic to Mozart'sfather, Leopold, and much less so to hiswife, Constanze. Important musical figures ofthe time like Paisiello are given the deservedattention they rarely get.Jn his introduction, editorC!iffEisen callsAbert's chapter on Mozart's personality theheart of this book, but for me that descriptionbelongs to the following chapter on Mozart'screativity, where Abert describes how Mozart,who composed away from the keyboard, becamea different person when improvising atthe keyboard. Eisen has provided invaluableindexes, bibliography and musical examples.His marvelous footnotes are easily accessibleat the bottom of each page, and musical examplesabound. Stewart Spencer has translatedthis mammoth work into thoroughly enjoyableEnglish, leaving no trace ofit being a translation.The Cellist of Sarajevoby Steven GallowayKnopf Canada272 pages; $29.95Once a day, a cellist perfonns Albinoni 's Adagioin G minor in the bombed-out Sarajevomarketplace where twenty-two people havejust been massacred.The cellist's brave actof defiance, whichleaves him exposed tothe snipers positioned inthe hills above the city,provides a focus for thethree main characters inCanadian writer StevenGalloway's new novel.A sharp-shooterknown as Arrow, recruitedfrom her universitytarget shooting team, has been assigned toprotect the cellist. Kenan, who had been anaccounting clerk, risks his life to get water forhis family and an unlovable old neighbour. Dragan,whose family escaped Sarajevo before thesiege started, tries to get to his job at a bakerywithout getting shot.Galloway builds up layers of vivid imageslike that of Kenan crossing a bridge right afterwatching his friend shot on the bridge. The effectof the cellist's music is expressed literallywhen Arrow watches a sniper set himself up toshoot the cellist, but just sits, mesmerized bythe music, instead offiring.Although the cellist in Galloway's story remainsnameless, he is practically inseparablefrom the actual cellist of Sarajevo, a mannamed Vedran Smailovic, who, like the unnamedcellist, had been principal cellist of theSarajevo Symphony Orchestra before the civilwar that tore the former Yugoslavia apart. Gallowayattempts to clarify the line between factand fiction by writing in an afterword that theactions ofSmailovic " inspired this novel, but Ihave not based the character of the eel list onthe real Smailovic." His disclaimer, however, isnot only unconvincing but disingenuous, especiallywith the famous photo from 1992 ofSmailovic playing amidst the ruins right on thebook-jacket. Even ifhe is not identified byname in the photo credits, it's clear who he isand what he represents. In any case, Gallowaydoes not really describe what he calls the characterof the cellist enough for us to make anydistinction. It is his actions that matter.Choppy phrases and sentences like, "Arrowknows that twenty-two people died here, and amultitude were injured, will not walk or see ortouch again. Because they tried to buy bread.A smal I decision. Nothing to think about." canget tedious. But much more frequent are elegant,flowing passages like this description ofKenan's despair, "There are times when hedoesn't know how he manages not to evaporate,how his clothes don 't fall to the floor,emptied of what little substance he was fillingthem with." Moving images like that stayedwith me long after I finished reading this novel.JULY 1 - S EPT 7 2008WWW. THEWHOLENOTE.COM53

DIS [}@f:O@~ dings reviewedEDITOR'S CORNER: July-August 2008In this age of sound bytes, highlights and "classicalmusic favourites" (i.e. song-length clipsfrom well-worn workhorses) it is a rare luxuryto be able to immerse oneself in an unfamiliarhour-long dramatic work that runs the gamut ofmoods and emotions. Such was my pleasurethis month when I discovered the expansiveSymphony No. I of Danish composer RuedLanggaard ( 1893-1952) on the Da Capo label(6.220525). Completed at the age of seventeen,the expansivework was deemedunplayable in Langgaard'shomeland.It languished forthree years untilchampioned by conductorMax Fiedlerwho gave the workits premiere withthe Berlin Philharmonic. That concert also includedanother orchestral work by the youngcomposer, Sphinx, and Langgaard's own perfonnanceof his Preludio patetico on the organof the Berlin Ph ilharmonic Hall. Thiswould turn out to be the highlight ofLanggaard's entire career as the First World Warinterrupted any chance of further success inGermany. He returned home to Denmarkwhere his Symbolist-influenced Scriabin-likescores led to repeated fai lures and disappointmentsand in fact his music never found favourin his homeland during his lifetime. Undauntedby his outsider status, however, he went on tocompose 16 symphonies and had completed431 works by the time of his death. TakingTchaikovsky, Wagner, Bruckner and RichardStrauss as his inspiration, the First Symphony isan epic tone poem. Set in the five movementfonn of Beethoven 's Pastoral and Berlioz'Symphonie Fantastique, it depicts a journeyup a mountain from the breaking surf below tothe peak where the "view with the wide horizon,the high-vaulted sky and the farawayb I ue-sparkling sea with the white crests fi I lsthe heart with new courage to face life." It is ajourney I am glad to have had the opportunityto share, thanks to the Danish National SymphonyOrchestra and conductor Thomas Dausgaard.Another symphonistpreviously unknownto me came to myattention thanks toWholeNote colleagueKaren Agesand publisher All anPu Iker, who wereamong the musiciansfeatured in aconcert of chamber music by AlexanderJacobchuk in May. The Ukrainian-born corn-54poser won international composition prizes inSwitzerland, Germany and Belgium in the1990s before moving to Canada. The CDSymphonic Works(www.alexanderjacobchuk.com) includesJacobchuk's first symphony "Chomobyl 's Biorhythms",Symphony No.2 and the symphonicpoem "Golden Gate". Although the brief biographyavailable on the Canadian Music Centrewebsite states that hi s works were widely published,performed and broadcast in his homelandbefore he emigrated, this is not the casewith two of the pieces presented here. Althoughcomposed in 1982, Golden Gate, whichaims to recreate the atmosphere of early Kyivbeginning in the ninth century and follows itsturbulent history to the present day, had to waituntil 1996 for its premiere which took placehere in Toronto at Massey Hall under the directionofVolodymyr Kolesnyk. The FirstSymphony was composed in 1986 shortly afterthe Chornobyl catastrophe but it too had towait to see the light of day, not receiving itsfirst performance until two decades later. Inthat instance the premiere, recorded here, didtake place in his homeland however, with theSymphony Orchestra of the National Radio ofUkraine in Kyiv conducted by VolodymyrSheiko. The work, a testament to the composer's personal experience and memories of theevents surrounding the nuclear disaster, is intwo movements. Its strident opening is followedby a contemplative and finally hopefulmovement reflecting Jacobchuk's belief in abright future for his compatriots. SymphonyNo.2, a one movement depiction of "mankindconfronted by the cataclysmic events occasionedby globalization", was more readily accepted.First heard shortly after its completionin 1987 it went on to a number of subsequentperfonnances both at home and abroad. Whilethere is nothing "ground-breaking" in this music,it is certainly well-crafted and expressiveand I find it a welcome addition to Canada'sorchestral landscape.The other discs that have found a place in therotation on my CD player this month are quitea bit different, although they also reflect longmusical traditions. Further on in these pagesyou will find Ken Waxman speaking ofan influentialMontreal-born jazz pianist - "no, notthat one" he says in a veiled reference to OscarPeterson. In Ken's case he is revelling inthe CD re-release of an older title by PaulBley. In mine it is a brand new recording byanother Montrealer, but one with direct ties tothe great O.P. As a child, Oliver Jones usedto sit on the porch of the Peterson's house li s­tening to the older boy play and in fact he gothi s first piano lessons from Oscar 's sister Daisy.After a much publicized but evidently failedforay into retirement earlier this decade, JonesWWW. THEWHOLENOTE.COMreturned with thealbum "One MoreTime" in 2006. Notcontent to rest onhis laurels, or perhapssimply heedingDylan Thomas' exhortation"Do NotGo Gentle into ThatGood Night", weare now presented with Second TimeAround (Justin Time JUST 229-2) onwhich the stellar pianist is joined by bassistEric Legace and drummer Jim Doxas.This new CD is well balanced between balladsand barn burners, Jones originals andstandards like Misty and When I Fall in Love,the traditional Precious Lord and even Surreywith the Fringe on Top. Having caught his"second wind" and showing no signs slowingdown, let 's hope that the seventy four year oldpianist decides that "Second Time Around" isjust a new beginning.The final disc camewith the re-discoveryofan old friendthrough theWholeNote listingslast month. I wasintrigued to find anotice for "Bach inthe Saddle Again",a concert featuringWhiskey Jack and the Gala String Quartet. Iknew that Bob McNiven, a long-lost classmateof mine and fellow guitar picker, had been inWhiskey Jack for a number of years and wonderingifhe still was I decided to investigatefurther. When it turned out that the Gala StringQuartet is headed by violinist Daniel Kushnerwith whom I've had the pleasure playing mycello on occasion, I simply had to go to EastminsterUnited to check out this hybrid concertthat featured, so to speak, "both kinds of music"- i.e. Country AND Western (art music). Itturns out that Whiskey Jack, whose illustrioushistory has included a decade of sharing thespotlight on the Tommy Hunter Show and extensivetouring with the iconic Stomp in ' TomConnors, is celebrating its 30th anniversary,and sure enough after 28 years Bob McNivenis still "pickin' and a-grinning" along withfounding father Duncan Fremlin. The band hasexpanded from its original quartet formation(vocal harmonies with banjo, guitar, mandolinand bass) to include fiddle, drums and femalevocals (Arlene Zock) in the concert I attended,as well as harmonica and accordion on theirlatest CD WhiskeyJackMusic.com (whichnot-surprisingly is also the address of theirwebsite). The concert was an eclectic mix ofclassical string quartet music - lighter fareJ U LY 1 - S EPT 7 2008

such as you might hear at weddings - andWhiskey Jack's varied repertoire of bluegrass,Western swing, country and pop (such as PaulAnka and the Everly Brothers) with a touch ofgospel thrown in for good measure. McNiven'sstring arrangements for the ensemble numbersbrought both groups together in a way that entrancedthe fans from both camps. And speakingof having a foot in both camps, cellistGeorge Meanwell proved his own versatility bystepping out of the quartet to sing a couple ofhis own songs while strumming a guitar. En-semble highlights for me were Ghost Ridersin the Sky, Tumblin' Tumbleweeds, let it beMe and My Window Faces South, all ofwhich appear on the Whiskey Jack CD. Missingfrom the CD is their arrangement of LyleLovett's If I had a Boat and McNiven's ownBarefoot Sadie, but we are treated to DreamBaby (immortalized by Roy Orbison), and WillieP. Bennett's When I'm Gone. I must confessthis latter sent shivers down my spineupon hearing the lyric "the only time they'llthink of me is in a prayer - when I' m gone"for the first time since Willie's untimely passingearlier this year.We welcome your feedback and invite subm issions.CDs and comments should be sent to:The WholeNote, 503 - 720 Bathurst St. TorontoON M5S 2R4.

First and foremost comes RolandoVillaz6n, whose beautiful, lyrical voice andardent passion is ideally suited to the role ofthe poet Rodolfo - perhaps more so than anytenor since Pavarotti. He throws himself intothe role pulling out all the stops emotionallyand musically, and the results are consistentlyoutstanding. Anna Netrebko, his frequentpartner on stage and recording, is an affectingMimi, beautifully sung if somewhatconventional dramatically. For all the warmthand tenderness of her voice, her sound ismore veiled and introspective thanVillaz6n's, lacking that simplicity and honestyof an ideal Mimi. The young sopranoNicole Cabell is an alluring Musetta, thoughperhaps too similar in tone to Netrebko. Therest of the Bohemians sound suitably youthfuland sing well, if without particular distinction.Bertrand de Billy, always an expertconductor, leads the superb Bavarian RadioOrchestra in a tight, incisive performance thatgives way to melting lyricism in all the rightplaces. Though taken from live concert performances,the recording has the superbsound and the forward placement of soloiststypical of a studio recording.Seth EstrinVerdi - Un hallo in mascheraKatia Ricciarelli; Jukith Blegen;Bianca Berini; Luciano Pavarotti;Louis Quillico; Metropolitan OperaChorus and Orchestra; Giuseppe PataneDecca 0743227It was the time almost 30 years ago when themodern day dementiaof updating, minimizing,'controversializing'of opera was yetunknown and audiencesgot their money'sworth with doubledigit interest. Thisglorious performance,televised from theMet in 1980, has nowjustly become a milestonein the history of that renowned operahouse.Giuseppe Patane was an outstanding interpreterof Verdi and Puccini and this performancecomes from what New Yorkers affectionatelyrefer to as the 'Patane Years' wheneach time he was in the pit was a greatevent. True follower of Toscanini, a legendaryadvocate of this, Verdi's most passionateopera, Patane lets the dramatic intensity,lyricism, passion and even humour worknaturally with his sense of pacing and welljudged, but always exciting, tempi.The principals? Pavarotti at his prime!Worthy successor of Gigli, who was alwaysregarded as the ultimate Riccardo, a verydifficult tenor role, Pavarotti takes the highestprize, with his magnificent vocal power,colour, sensitivity and emotional range. Ricciarellicomes close second, the strong dramaticsoprano in all registers and wonderfullysympathetic characterization makes a greatpartner. Canadian Louis Quilico, who inheritedthe title 'world's greatest Verdi baritone'from Tito Gobbi in that interim period beforeRenato Bruson appeared on the scene, issimilarly a great asset. Last but not least,Judith Blegen, a fine American coloraturawho had just begun her distinguished careerin this role, is radiant. A feast to the eye andthe ear.Much more could be written.

The subject matteris grim: a group of murderers, thieves, politicalprisoners, and victims of misfortuneexplain how they ended up in a Siberian labourcamp. Like Dostoevsky, Janacek clothesthe brutal stories in resonant beauty. It'sutterly moving when they all sing "My eyeswill never see the land where I was born."But the hopelessness of their situation, underlinedby the massively high concrete walls onstage, is alleviated when one of the prisonersis freed.Under Chereau's insightful direction, aseach soloist emerges from the ensemble, weget to know him - and, in that way, thewhole ensemble. Movement and dance areused effectively, especially when the prisonersput on an entertainment for themselves.Instead of uniforms, the prisoners wear tatteredstreet clothes, making each one individuallyrecognizable.The cast is altogether terrific. Boulez'sconducting is powerfully angular, but alwayssensitive to Janacek's lyrical lines. In thefascinating rehearsal footage, there's a preciousmoment when Chereau calls to thecostume designer, Caroline de Vivaise,"Caroline!", and John Mark Ainsley singsout fortissimo, "Caroleeeeene!" .

4; Waltzes; Mazurkas; BarcarolleIngrid FliterEMI 5148992Brahms - Variations Op.21; 24; 35Olga KernHarmonia Mundi HMU 907392Two recent CDs feature repertoire from theromantic period, performed by artists whoboth made their Toronto debuts in recentmonths - Ingrid Fliter who performed withthe Toronto Symphony in January and OlgaKern who was featured with the MoscowVirtuosi under Vladimir Spivakov's baton atRoy Thomson Hall in May.I admit I had never heard of Ingrid Fliterbefore I was introduced to this all-Chopinrecording on the EMI label. Ms Fliter is anative of Argentina, where she was the laureateof several competitions, and where shemade her debut in Buenos Aires at the age of16. She later continued her studies inFreiburg and Rome and, in 2000, was thesilver medalist at the Chopin Competition inWarsaw. Could she possibly be the nextMartha Argerich? Admittedly, an all-Chopindisc is an easy way to my heart, but I findthis one particularly outstanding. The programitself is finely balanced, featuring threemajor works - the B minor sonata, the Barcarolle,and the fourth Ballade, interspersedwith various mazurkas and waltzes. In additionto her flawless technique, the playing isnoble and poetic, at all times displaying thesubtle nuances ever present in the music ofChopin. Martha, I do believe you have asuccessor!I was more familiar with the name OlgaKern whose disc on the Harmonia Mundilabel features three sets of Brahms' variations,Op. 21, 24 and 35 . Gold medalist atthe 11 th van Cliburn competition in 2001,Kern studied in her native Russia, where sheinitially won acclaim as the prize-winner atthe Rachmaninov competition at the age of17. Since then, she has earned a reputationas an artist of international stature. The earliestset of variations on this disc, the Op. 21,dates from 1853, the year Brahms touredwith the violin virtuoso Remenyi, so it wasperhaps not surprising that this music has adecidedly Hungarian flavour, even to thepoint of using a Hungarian theme as the basis.Kern plays with a strong assurance, displayinga formidable technique that we mightexpect from a Russian-trained pianist. Morefamiliar are the variations on a theme byHandel, and the two sets of variations on atheme by Paganini, the latter used by Rachmaninov70 years later. This must be amongthe most difficult piano music Brahms everwrote, requiring an almost super-humantechnique - as challenging for the pianist asPaganini's etudes are for the violin. Notsurprisingly, Ms Kern effortlessly capturesthe ever-changing moods of the music, fromthe delicacy of Variation 5 in the first set, tothe robust bravura of the first variation in thesecond. In all, these are two most satisfyingdiscs - great music superbly performed -who could ask for more?Richard HaskellKarajan - In ConcertBerliner Philharmoniker;Herbert von KarajanDeutsche Grammophon 00440 073 4399Karajan or Beauty as I See ItA Film by Robert DornhelmDeutsche Grammophon 00440 073 4392From audio recordings alone it can be hardtoday to understand why Herbert van Karajanso dominated his age. Now, almost twentyyears after his death, his unified textures andseamless phrasing have lost favour to a lessmannered, more historically informed style.Yet those who heard him live tend to considerthe experience transformative.The centenary of Karajan's birth this yearhas inspired record companies to make evenmore recordings by him available. These twovideo releases are especially valuable for allowingus to not just hear but see him at work.The two-disc set Karajan in Concert containsfilmed concerts with his orchestra, theBerlin Philharmonic, recorded in the 1970's,with Karajan both conducting and directingthe innovative filming. In a gripping performanceof Rachmaninov's Piano Concertono. 2 with Alexis Weissenberg, the intrepidcamera peers over the pianist's shoulder,sweeps around the players and pans out tothe renowned Berlin Philharmonic Hall.Karajan conducts every work from memory,without a score. That's just as well, since hekeeps his eyes closed. The one-hour documentaryportrait of Karajan made by directorVojtech Jasny in 1970 shows how the realwork was done in lengthy rehearsals, whereKarajan keeps his eyes wide open. He eventells jokes.Robert Dornhelm's recent one-and-onehalfhour documentary Karajan or Beauty as ISee It lets the historic footage and interviewswith prominent musicians who worked closelywith Karajan speak for themselves. Ininterview, pianist Evgeny Kissin says thatKarajan opened hidden potential in him.Daughter Isabel von Karajan recalls seeingher father in tears only once - after a performancewith Kissin. Both Rene Kollo andChrista Ludwig recall how, when they startedhaving vocal problems, he dumped them,even though they were still in their prime andhad worked together for years. Dornhelmcleverly cuts between footage of LeonardBernstein and Karajan rehearsing the Berlinersto highlight their contrasting conductingstyles, Bernstein uninhibited and Karajanthoroughly disciplined.A few of the historical clips appear inJasny's documentary as well, but Dornhelm,freed by Karajan's death, is able to present amore well-rounded portrait. So it is disappointingthat he skims so lightly over keycontroversies in Karajan's career, such as histies to the Nazis, his later problems with theBerlin players and, above all, his distinctiveorchestral sound, which today remains themost important aspect of his legacy.Pamela MarglesMODERN ANDCONTEMPORARYMesses de Theodore Dubois &Maurice DurufleAntonio Figueroa; Marc Boucher;Les Voix d'Elles; Regis RousseauXXI XXI-CD 2 1582Claude!

Wonderful.A disc to treasure.John S. GrayEXTENDED PLAY - STRING ROUND-UPBy Terry RobbinsThis has been a great month for outstandingviolin CDs. At the top of the pile is the newSuper Audio disc of the Tchaikovsky & GlazunovViolin Concertos by Vadim Gluzmanand the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra underAndrew Litton (BIS BIS-SACD-1432).From the opening bars of the Glazunov weare treated to performances of depth andbrilliance that never falter. Gluzman is inparticularly glorious form in the Tchaikovsky,with a simply breathtaking finale, as fast asany you'll hear, but with dazzling techniqueand articulation. Tchaikovsky's Souvenir d'unLieu Cher is a perfect link between the twoconcertos, consisting of three Tchaikovskypieces as orchestrated by Glazunov, the first- Meditation - being the original slow movementof the Violin Concerto. As if any furtherties were needed, Gluzman plays theStradivarius violin once owned by LeopoldAuer, who premiered the Glazunov concertoin 1905. The Bergen Philharmonic and Littonare superb partners throughout, supplyingevery nuance of tempo and dynamic youcould wish for in supremely satisfying interpretations.Stunning performances, and awonderful CD.Not far behind comes another outstandingdisc, the Dohnanyi Violin Concertos Nos. 1& 2 with Michael Ludwig and the RoyalScottish National Orchestra under JoAnnFalletta (Naxos 8.570833). I must admit -somewhat shamefully - to not knowing thatDohnanyi wrote any violin concertos, letalone two, and - even more shamefully - tonot knowing Michael Ludwig; how anybodycould not be aware of a player of this worldclassquality is baffling. Ludwig is the Concertmaster,and JoAnn Falletta the MusicDirector, of the Buffalo PhilharmonicOrchestra, and they clearly work well together.The first concerto dates from 1915, and isin the German Romantic tradition of Brahmsand Bruch, while the second, from 1949 whenDohnanyi had moved to the US, is closer toBarber and Korngold in style. Ludwig and theRSNO are superb throughout, and the recordingquality is outstanding. Another 'must buy'disc!Naxos is also the source of the third CD inthis group, one that features works for soloviolin and violin and piano by John Coriglianoand Virgil Thomson in the excellent AmericanClassics series (Corigliano: The RedViolin Caprices; Naxos 8.559364); the performersare Philippe Quint and WilliamWolfram. The Caprices and Thomson's EightPortraits are for solo violin; Corigliano isalso represented by his Violin Sonata from1963 and Thomson by Three Portraits andFive Ladies. Quint is tremendous in the solopieces, although his assorted breathing noisesdo become a bit annoying after a while.Last, but by no means least, is anotherfascinating CD from the American violinistJennifer Koh with her regular accompanistReiko Uchida. Koh always programmes withimagination and intelligence, and this CD,String Poetic (Cedille CDR 90000 103) is nodifferent, presenting a challenging but rewardingcollection sub-titled Americanworks: a 2lst century perspective. The titletrack is the World Premiere Recording of a5-movement suite written for Koh by JenniferHigdon; Lou Harrison's Grand Duo,John Adams' Road Movies, and Carl Ruggles'Mood, a short work completed fromearly sketches found after Ruggles' death in1971, complete the disc. This isn't alwaysmusic that's easy to listen to, but it's hard toimagine better performances.The string quartetsof Carl Nielsenreally should bebetter-known thanthey are, so it'sgood to seethe arrival of theSuper Audio CDNielsen String QuartetsVol.2 by TheYoung Danish String Quartet (DACAPO6.220522). This disc has the F minor Op.5from 1890 and the Eb major Op.14 from1898, and the Young Danish give solid, idiomaticperformances, as you would expectgiven the shared nationality. Gramophonemagazine said that their Volume 1 CD "setbenchmark standards" for Nielsen's quartets- not that there seems to be a great deal ofcompetition. Certainly the tone here is betterthan in the 2-volume Naxos set by the OsloString Quartet, but I would have preferred alittle less reverb and a bit more closeness inthe recording.Ernst Toch was an\ ',1, -.~ ,\.

Naxos has released aninteresting CD of some of his solo and chambermusic, performed by Spectrum ConcertsBerlin, in their American Classics series(Toch: Piano Quintet; Naxos 8.559324). TheViolin Sonata No.2 and Burlesken for Pianoare from Toch's Berlin years, and the PianoQuintet and Three Impromptus for Cello arefrom 1938 and 1963 respectively.

But thepianist/composer/educator is certainly notalone. Consider for example fellow pianistsWray Downes, Ian Bargh and Mark Eisenman.What little there is on record by thoseworthies has them mainly in the role of sidemen.It's been the same with Erlendson, onthe scene since 1952. Prior to this release the74 year old veteran had made only one otheralbum as a leader, a solo performance issuedin 1988 that, according to this set's notes,was "neglected into obscurity".All the music on this octet date was recordedat the Calgary C-Jazz Festival inAugust of last year. Al Muirhead is on trumpet,Dave Reid, trombone, Gib Monks, alto,Eric Allison, tenor, Gerry Hebert, baritone,John Hyde, bass, and John de Waal, drums,with the leader on piano and electric keyboards.All nine tunes are originals writtenby Erlendson over the past half century, in asome cases for other musicians with whomthe pianist worked, tenorman D. T. Thompsonand vocalist Jody Drake among them.Erlendson's music is as comfortable as anold pair of shoes. It's obvious that the octetwas a working group and the players soundcompletely at home with the material. I eagerlyawait Volume Two in what I hope willbe an ongoing series.Don BrownTales of Love and LongingSheila Cooper; Fritz PauerCandid panorama records 004(www .sheilacooper .corn)For her third album as vocalist, saxophonistand arranger, uber-talented and quirky Canadian-bornjazz artist Sheila Cooper has chosento express herself in duo format with theacclaimed Austrianpianist, Fritz Pauer- alternating betweensaxophoneand vocal duets. MsCooper has longbeen one of the jazzworld's best-keptsecrets. Residing inVienna since 2006,she previously spent a number of years inNew York City, recording, touring and performingwith her own quartet, as well as topinternational musicians such as Dave Liebmanand Renee Rosnes."Tales of Love and Longing" is a series ofintimately told musical stories (nine standardsand one original), and begins with a simpleand gorgeous arrangement of Hoagy Carmichael'srarely performed Winter Moon.Austrian piano icon Fritz Pauer has an impossiblyfacile and yet sensitive touch,matched only by Cooper's sonorous, multitexturalsaxophone sound. Her instrumentsings with a genderless human ache. As avocalist, Cooper is a no-nonsense, in-tunepurist in the mode of Julie London or thetechnically superior Helen Merrill in herfabulous prime. Every note is placed perfectly,with a knowing, sadder-but-wiser nuance.A stand-out is Tommy Wolf's I'm a Fool toWant You. With such a melodramatic lyric, asinger might be tempted to chew up the scenery.Not so for the ever-tasteful Ms Cooper,who wears her jazz vocal hat on this track.She has, instead, positioned the tune with anun-cluttered elegance, while rendering hervocal with a dollop of plaintive longing. Pauerconstructs another flawless solo on this tune.His prestigious piano chops are simplybreathtaking. By the way, Sheila Cooper canalso swing - as she does on Irving Berlin'sjaunty How Deep is the Ocean. This CD is a"must-have" for any jazz lover, as there's nodoubt that it will be a perpetual joy.Lily SwingsLily FrostMarquis 774718-1393-2-0Lesley Mitchell-ClarkeLily Frost is a Toronto musician whose singingand writing career has taken her to someinteresting places,both geographicallyand stylistically.Gigging in Canada,Cairo and Tahiti,and covering suchdiverse genres aslounge, country,and Latin, Frost hasdeveloped into aversatile performer with the experience to dojustice to her latest project, a tribute to themusic of Billie Holiday.With The Swinging Dukes (Clive "Pops"Jackson, bass fiddle; Steve Taylor, drums;Chris Dean, guitar and banjo; Jimmy Roypedal steel; plus Greg Shea and WaylenMiki, piano) backing her, "Lily Swings" hasa distinct alt-country feel and the live-off-thefloorrecording technique gives it an upbeat,Saturday night dance hall vibe as opposed to adark, smoky jazz club mood one might expect.Mercifully, Frost has chosen to honourHoliday without attempting to imitate her.That said, on some of the tunes Frost coaxesout the vocal qualities she shares with Holiday- bright horn-like timbre and fast vibrato- and delivers it all in a cool, controlled manner.Holiday was no helter, and was oncefamously appraised by Ethel Waters as singinglike her "shoes are too tight". So while Iwouldn't go that far with Frost - she and theband have a lot of fun with these tunes - Ifound myself wishing on a few occasions thatthey would let out the reins a bit more. Butthis is a record made by seasoned pros whohave no doubt been there and done the highoctane thing and have come to appreciate theunderstated power of being able to just plainSwing.Cathy RichesEXTENDED PLAY -EXPATRIATE (ANDHOMEBODY) SOUNDSBy Ken WaxmanEager collaborators, as much as geographicproximity, is responsible for the migration ofgifted Canadianimprovisers to theUnited States.One of the music'sdistinctive stylistswith profound effectson jazz's evolutionfrom the early1950s on was aMontreal-born pianist.No, not that one.. . but Paul Bley. Bley's associations withreedists Ornette Coleman and Jimmy Giuffreare well known. A reissue from 1990, 12+6In A Row (hatOLOGY 649,www.hathut.com) is not only a milestone inBley's evolution, but points out another developmentthe pianist helped to initiate: partnershipwith like-minded Europeans. Bley'sassociates here are Austrian flugelhornistFranz Koglmann and Swiss reedist HansKoch. The title's inferences to 12-tone rowsare realized with sparse contrapuntal harmonies,broken counterpoint and skittering runsfrom the pianist, tongue slaps and chalumeauvibrations from Koch's bass clarinet and chromaticlip burbles from Koglmann.Yet obtuse formalism doesn't overshadowjazz roots. Bley's Solo 2 includes righthandedbass syncopation, and there's anexcursion into waltz time on Duo 2. MeanwhileSolo 6 channels boogie-woogie forefatherJimmy Yancy, in a Europeanized fashion,with Bley bearing down on the keys whilesimultaneously tinkling higher pitches.

saxophone. Ful fillment of the notated-improvisedmandate is obvious on pieces like Trio 5which harmonizes distanced piano patterns,smeary reed obbligatos and airy brass nodes.Bley was already well-established as Vancouverbassist Lisle Elliswas making his firstU.S. forays in the1970s. Over time Ellisestablished himself inpartnerships withCalifornia-basedplayers like pianist Ufilfil.1.SMike Wofford and,__..flutist Holly Hofmann,or East Coasters like trombonistGeorge Lewis and saxophonist Oliver Lake.Now a New Yorker, Ellis' Sucker PunchRequiem (Henceforth Records 104,www .henceforthrecords. corn), subtitled AnHomage to Jean-Michel Basquiat, ruminateson the short life and creative sensibilities of thevisual artist. Utilizing electronics and sounddesign as well as his bass, Ellis admixes SusieIbarra's percussion, and the vocal tones, soundsamples and processing of Pamela Z., withinstrumental contribution from his bi-coastalassociates. Structured like a traditional mass,but with layers of sonic contributions, theprogram is rough, meandering and a bit unfinished- like Basquiat's art - but the endproduct is true to the painter. Exposition andthematic recapitulation mirror one another;the purely instrumental passages tell most ofthe story. Especially important are processionalpiano chording, aviary flute asides andthe thick motions of Ellis' plucked strings.Declarative alto saxophone, cocooning tromboneslurs and watery flute burbles are oftenplayed off against one another, as are Ellis'mellow area lines, Wofford's hunt-and-peckcomping and Ibarra's pings, flams and rolls.If Ellis' homage showcases musical tangents,consider Radio 1-Ching's The Fire KeepsBurning (Resonant Music 004 www. radioichingnewyork.corn)! Among the composersrepresented are jazzers Thelonious Monk andRoland Kirk, Arabstylist Hamnza ElDin, Hollywood'sAlfred Newman andcountry picker JimmieDriftwood.Ching is Dee Popon drums and percussion,Don Fiorinoon guitar, lap steeland mandolin, and ex-Torontonian Andy Haason sax and electronics. (Haas was a memberof 1970s New-Wave rock band Martha & TheMuffins before moving to New York). Ching'sstrength lies in adapting its instruments' texturesto unexpected ends: Haas' triple tonguingand Fiorino's lotar-like claw-hammerbanjo licks on El Din's Gala 2000; and aHawaiian lounge treatment for Newman'sMoon Over Manakoora, complete with slackkey resonations, chuffing and chiming fromPop, and syrupy sax trills. Meantime Kirkprobably never imagined Volunteered Slaverywith junkeroo steel drum echoes and metallicsteel guitar riffs elaborating the theme. EvenDriftwood's folksy tune gets an injection ofguitar distortion and sax squeals. Eclecticismhas its own rewards, however, as the trioproves on the original Good Evening Mr.Dammers, named for a punk-rocker. Ratherthan punk, the sound is that of surprise withchirping reed lines doubled by electronics,sharp finger picking and conga drum pops.Moving from eclecticism to experience,Canadian improvised music's Brangelina isVancouver-based married couple cellist PeggyLee and drummer Dylan van der Schyff.Lee is featured in pianist Wayne Horvitz'Gravitas Quartet on One Dance Alone,(Songlines SGL SA1571-2www.songlines.com), a charming excursioninto chamber jazz featuring cornetist RonMiles and bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck. Itwas recorded in Seattle, as was Zemlya (LeoRecords CD LR 507, www .leorecords.corn), which puts van der Schyffs drums,percussion and laptop with Irishman MarkO'Leary's guitar and electronics plus theviola and processing of Winnipeg-born,American-resident Eyvind Kang.As filled with pulsating and triggeredoscillations as One Dance is with pastoralsuggestions, Zemlya doesn't overuse electronics.In fact when Kang picks his fiddlemandolin-like, the three approximate thesound of a rural string band. Story of IcelandPart II and Sorcery, with their carnatic overtones,bring the partnership into focus. Multi-faceted,the latter features rim shots andcymbal slapping from the drummer, scrappedand strained spiccato viola lines and spideryriffs from the guitarist extended with whammy-barfinesse. Elements of staccatissimostop-time lead to a climax of fiery timbraldislocation, abetted by snare pounding, withthe 10 strings reaching such whirling dervish-likespeeds that they almost sonicallyblur. More balladic ... Iceland evolves fromvan der Schyffs ruffs and in sympathy withKang's contrapuntal plucks. Folksy, chromatic,and splintered with irregular drum beats,the theme produced by O'Leary's finger-styleruns is surrounded by Kang's rococo detailing.Returning to One Dance, chamber jazz isthe watchword for the Gravitas Quartet, withintermezzos and interludes more commonthan riffs or vamps. Yet recital-friendly instrumentationand bucolic licks can't maskthe hard-centre of Horvitz's compositions,nor their jazz antecedents. A Walk in the Rainfor instance, adds Lee's sul ponticello squealsand Schoenbeck's burbling accents to theswinging call-and-response. It ends withsped-up bassoon riffs and harmonic pianoswells, which then reverse themselves intoChopinesque keyboard chording and doublereedbreaths. This CD's neither-fish-norfowlprogram keeps the tracks interesting.With eclogue-like formalism never fully accepted,many parts are gently subversive.For every bit of open-horned romanticismfrom Miles, there's a matching squeak fromLee; and for every moderato vibration fromSchoenbeck, there's astringent dynamicsfrom Horvitz.These Canadian-affiliated CDs are memorableoutings. The inadvertent irony is thatonly Lee and van der Schyff haven't had toemigrate to build careers.POT POURRIO Canada! - The Perfect Anthology andHistory of Our AnthemVarious ArtistsXXI XXI-CD 2 1600Just in time for CanadaDay, we arepresented with a CDthat is the most nationalisticexpressionof musicologicalstudy that you willfind anywhere in theworld. Imagine thevery idea of Deccamaking a historical record of God Save theQueen, or Deutsche Grammophon doing sucha treatment on arrangements of Deutsch/anduber alles. It would be entirely too absurd toimagine.But this is Canada, and a complete CD ofO Canada arrangements takes its place in thecanon. Given our national insecurities (minorityparliament, on-again, off-again Quebecnationalism, and ever more absurd posturingfrom our giant southern neighbour) this recordingseems right for the time.No fewer that 22 separate tracks - theToronto and Montreal Symphony Orchestras,the Canadian Brass and the Toronto MendelssohnChoir amongst many others - givean overview of the National Anthem (as ithas been officially since the mid-1960s) fromrecordings old and new. The recent reconstructionof the historically authentic 1880'sarrangement of Calixa Lavillee's tune by LesVoltigeurs de Quebec is quite refreshing.Some of the more common versions, by theRCMP band and others of that ilk, will leaveyou with indelible mental images of ThePrime Minister or Governor-General openinga public works project, against a backdrop ofbright yellow hard hats.Two different musicologists contributeessays, and both are admirably translated intoEnglish.

BirthAraz SalekIndependentwww .arazsalek.comAraz Salek, born inIran and now based inToronto, began playingthe tar (a pluckedlute with three sets ofdouble stings and a twin-bowled wooden body)at the age of 8, and two decades later his masteryshows. The debut CD of this tar virtuoso isa testament to a new and eloquent voice enrichingour Canadian cultural landscape.Having thoroughly imbibed the Iranianclassical repertoire of vocal and instrumentalradifs (established melodic phrases transmittedvia the oral tradition) under Iranian masters,Salek has produced in "Birth" a fullyrealised and mature musical statement withinthat tradition. Most refreshing in this recitalis the purist approach taken by Salek . Onehears only the clear and intimate string voiceof the tar in its various technical and affectiveguises. I also couldn't help but be impressedwith this artist's single-minded decisionto stick with a single dastgah calledDashti (with a keening optional \4 tone onits third scalar note) for the entire of non-stopduration of the album's 10 tracks. This selfimposedrestriction, as in many artistic realms,is actually a springboard to creativity. Themusic's movements progress masterfully frommoody free-metered introductions (taqsim)embellished with complex mellismas, to songlikemetered expositions.I can't claim to be more than a casual fan ofclassical Iranian music with its well-developedsystems of radif, dastgah (modal scales), andidiosyncratic rhythms and meters, but I mustsay I was mightily impressed with Araz Salek'sdebut solo flight on CD on a purely music level.Andrew TimarOLD WINE IN NEW BOTTLES - Fine old recordings re-released - by Bruce SurteesFriedrich Guida, who remains one of my favouritepianists of the last generation, was bornin Vienna in 1939 and died in 2000. Hearing hisrecordings, one could never infer that he wasan outrageous and bizarre musician who embracedevery genre of music and survived hismost vociferous and malicious critics. He wasa superlative and insightful interpreter of theclassical repertoire, specialising in Bach, Mozartand Beethoven but a glance at the CD andDVD catalogues reveal an encyclopaedic repertoire.His playing was never tentative evenwhen improvising. His complete BeethovenSonatas, recorded in 1967 by Amadeo and nowavailable at a ridiculously low price from BrilliantClassics, are arguably the most persuasiveperformances available (Brilliant BRr~ 92773, 9 CDs). Martha Ar-AL, -·I c . · gerich said that he was herfinest teacher. "He was oneof the most talented people Iever met", she stated.DG has issued a DVD entitledSo What?! (073 4376, 1DVD) which includes an intriguingbiography of Guida,mostly compiled from filmedinterviews with him over theyears and videos of many ofhis public performances,some of which were wildlyeccentric. Another bonus featureis a revealing 1986 interviewby Joachim Kaiser. The-"' .;body of the DVD is occupiedby a live performance from1981 played on clavichordand piano. Bach, beautifullyplayed on the clavichord, includes Gulda's appreciationof the instrument. He then turns 45degrees to the piano which sits at a right angleto the clavichord to continue with Debussy, Mozartand little talk about Schubert's Wandererafter which he thanks the audience for not applaudinghis performance. Guida was not anordinary musician and this is no ordinary collection.But it is a super package!Guida is also heard on a new Medici ArtsCD (MM024-2) in performances from 1957playing Beethoven's Third with the CologneRadio Symphony conducted by Mario Rossi plusthe Appassionata and the no. 28, op .101 Sonatas.In clear mono sound from the WDR Cologne, it62is clear why he already was much admired.Alexis Weissenberg is a classical pianist who,as Ziggy Weissenberg, played jazz in NewYork, including Birdland, in the 1950s. A newDVD from Medici Arts (307804) begins withthe celebrated 1965 film of Three Movementsfrom Petrushka performed by Weissenbergthat remains, to this day, unique in concept andexecution. This original black and white productionis not simply a video of a performance ofthese ferociously difficult obstacle courses, buta visual work of art devised and created inStockholm by film maker Ake Falck. It took 10days to film and as Weissenberg explains on abonus feature, it would be prohibitivelyexpensive today .Broadcast videos of Prokofiev,Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Chopin,Bach and the Brahms secondconcerto from 1969 conductedby Georges Pretre round out thedisc.Tatiana Nikolayeva plays ShostakovichPreludes and Fuguesis the title of another MediciArts DVD (3085248). This inspiredopus, in essence 24 littlemasterpieces, was written injust four months from October10, 1950toFebruary25, 1951 isseen in BBC broadcasts fromDecember 1992, the year before Nikolayeva'sdeath . One is not ever likely to witness such anintimate homage to a departed friend as conveyedin every note by Nikolayev as she, in effect,recites each piece. On a bonus BBC documentary,complete with archive footage ofShostakovich in performance, she talks aboutthe genesis of the 24, which she inspired andpremiered, and her friendship with the composer.She quotes conductor Kurt Sanderling whobelieved that the Preludes and Fugues are "theintimate diary of Dmitri Shostakovich; not thequartets, not the symphonies .. . an intimate diary,kept for himself, that brings happiness to allof us." A rather romantic view, but why not?Sviatoslav Richter is the third DVD in this trioof pianists issued by Medici Arts in which weare invited to a recital at the Barbican on March29, 1989 (3085208). We hear three Mozart so-WWW. THEWHOLENOTE.COMnatas; no.4 K.282, no.8 K.310,and no.16 K.545, followed byeight of the 12 Chopin Etudesop .10 and four from op. 25. Unawareuntil shortly before theconcert that it was to be filmed,he reluctantly agreed on thecondition that they would notilluminate the stage and that no cameras ortechnicians would be in his line of sight. It washis practice by this time, to have only a single40 watt bulb trained on the music. I think it allworked out rather well, as we can see all wewish to with no distractions . As a bonus we seethree items from a BBC broadcast of 1969 playingRachmaninov and two Chopin Etudes atbreakneck tempi, cutting about a minute eachfrom the later Chopin performances. Musically,I prefer the later versions.Centering around of the thirdquarter of last century, ArturRubinstein was one of the on! ythree or four pianists who namewas recognized around theworld (the others were Paderewski,Horowitz, and someoneelse). Judging only from hisrecordings, he played betterafter the 1940s than before, which is really sayingsomething. In answer to a leading question,he stated that he was not the world's best player,merely different. "An artist must bealone ... in a world by himself and not an imitator."Included on a new DG DVD (073 4445)are the Beethoven Third Concerto and theBrahms First, both with Bernard Haitink andthe Concertgebouw Orchestra (1973). Both arepatrician performances with pianist and conductorin total harmony, presenting musicmaking of the highest order. The orchestraunder Haitink has a lovely breathy sound thatis most attractive. These are performancesthat will, I believe, never become wearisome.The solo pieces are previously unreleasedperformances of Schubert's Impromptuopus 90 no.4; Brahms' Capriccio in B minorop. 76 no.2 and Intermezzo op.117 no.2; and asa finale , Chopin's second Scherzo, op.31. Thebonus on this disc is Rubinstein at 90, in whichthe pianist opens up to Robert MacNeil in 1977in a film made by Unite! and shown on PBS stations.A beautiful disc.] ULY 1 - S EPT 7 2008
