On our Cover:Stepping into Jazz Historywith Gene DiNoviInterview by Pamela MarglesEntering Gene DiNovi's studio is like stepping intojazz history - but this is history as it's still beingmade. The large room on the top floor of his downtownToronto townhouse is dominated by a Steinway grand. On thepiano lie some of his arrangements of Gershwin tunes he played ata concert in Kitchener the previous night. The walls are coveredwith photos and posters of concert dates from around the world.Books and scores are piled up everywhere.DiNovi has played piano with legendary singers like PeggyLee, Lena Horne, Tony Bennett, Anita O'Day, Carmen Mccrae,Billy Holiday, Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra, and worked withjazz greats like Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Buddy Defranco,Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Zoot Sims, RubyBraff, Benny Carter, and even Frank Zappa.He points to a photo of the Claude ThornhillBand's rhythm section. 'My son William isnamed after Thornhill's drummer, Billy Exiner.Billy never made the history books, but he was avery interesting guy, and a great influence. At28, he had never played drums, but one night hejust sat down at the drums at a dance .. . . He wasour cultural guru. I called him the 'sleeping sage'because he would sleep anywhere. The Thornhill band created anincredibly impressionistic cloud-like sound, and Billy would literallyfall asleep playing.''Claude's orchestra was seminal in the forties . But whenever hebecame successful, he would break up his band. He couldn't standsuccess. But his rhythm section wanted to stay together, so they putan ad in Downbeat Magazine, "Rhythm Section for Hire". PeggyLee, who was very smart, hired them. They'd go to Nola's Studioin New York and play. Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Brew Moore, allthese guys would walk in and join them. That's how I startedworking with them.'Two portraits of DiNovi in the studio were sketched by TonyBennett. 'Tony is a great ballad singer, and he can get a rhythmthing going better than Frank Sinatra. But it's more show businessthan jazz. Sinatra's not a jazz singer, either. There's a recording ofhim trying to sing Billy Strayhorn's Lush Life. He just couldn't doit. He tried Have a Heart, which I wrote with Johnny Mercer, andsaid, "Nobody can sing this. " Whereas Peggy did it easily, withphrasing and subtlety. Peggy swung.''I actually learned the most from working with Lena Horne and herhusband, the arranger Lennie Hayton. Lena's not a jazz singer either.But who cares - she's a great performer, even more than a great singer.,'A lot of swing musicians hired us because they wanted to learnabout bebop. Artie Shaw called me to his apartment to show himwhat bebop was about. You know everything when you're eighteenyears old! But there was a lot of friction between the swing andbebop players, with people hating each other. The older musiciansdidn't think we could swing, and they were quite right, at thatpoint. We were great but we weren't good, if you know what Imean. But we did fantastic things that scared the older guys, sothere was a lot of backlash. And we sure did learn to swing ....I never knew back then if I was going to play great or badly. Wetook chances. Playing that kind of music, you have to take hugerisks because it's very hard.''When I joined Benny Goodman's group, he really wanted tofind out about what we were doing. The only time Goodman wastruly happy was when he was playing the clarinet. He was justmade to play that instrument - and he played it like no one ever"When people ask me howto play jazz, I always say,study Ravel for harmony,play the Bach Inventions fortechnique, and swing, becausethey swung. Afterthat ... learn all the tunes."played it. I used to sit alone with him all day in the back of hishouse in Connecticut just playing. He could be very thoughtless,and didn't realize when he hurt people. But I would love to wakeup tomorrow and be able to play with him again. There's an impetusof swing with anything he did, something you can't define.'DiNovi, who was born in 1928, started studying piano whenhe was twelve, and was already playing professionally at fifteen. 'Iwas so in love with the stuff, and I was so young I didn't have thesense to be scared. My brother used to take me to vaudeville. I sawChick Webb's band with Ella Fitzgerald when Iwas about six, and she was about sixteen.''My first teacher, Frank Izzo was a hatblocker and a Communist. He loved music.But he was a really bad player. My brother wasan artist, and he earned his living by decoratinghouses in Brooklyn. Frank gave me some lessonsinstead of paying him for painting hishouse. It wasn't first-class teaching but hemade an eclectic out of me. A lesson wouldconsist of a Bach Invention, a novelty tune like Dainty Miss. Thenhe had me studying Joseph Schillinger's permutations!''When people ask me how to play jazz, I always say, studyRavel for harmony, play the Bach Inventions for technique, andswing, because they swung. After that you can learn all the tunes.Bud Powell used to play Bach and then go and play Bud Powell -and it all showed.''I've always been in love with harmony. It's supposed to be along suit of mine. I learned from Chuck Wayne, a great virtuosoguitar player. He taught me the tunes and the chords. He hadworked with a gorgeous piano player named Clarence Profit, whowrote Lullaby in Rhythm, which was really the first bebop tune.The older I get, the more I feel that I don't need frills. Basie wasthe most original piano player of all time - he just found his ownway of playing. But he could do stride and all that other stuff too,which he learned from Fats Waller.''The best thing we can do is find our own way of expressingourselves that we really feel, so it comes out with substance. A lotof players get ruined when they try to be little John Coltranes, BillEvans, or Charlie Parkers. We all listened to each other, and itshowed. You have to give a guy like Paul Desmond credit forplaying a different way from Charlie Parker. You've got to try foryour own thing. We all are able to do it if we understand that wecan all do things that the other guy can' t do, and we can't do thingsthat he does - that's the beauty of it. Music will eventually humbleyou, one way or the other.'DiNovi gestures to a photo of a very large man with a beautificsmile. ' I dedicated my recording Live at the Montreal Bistro to thegreat Tiny Kahn. Tiny was about 6'4" and 300-and-somethingpounds. He looked like a whale. He was a wonderful wiz, and anincredible personality. I remember when we were waiting to recordwith Lester Young. I was all of twenty, and he said to me, like thiswas a dream, "Man, you' re going to record with Prez." Tinyswung, so Lester really liked him. Now I realize how ill Lesterwas at that time, but, boy, he really played.''Lester had his own language. You just had to figure it out.He would turn to you while you 're playing, and say, "GeorgeWashington". Okay, he meant "Go to the bridge of the tune". Ifhe liked something, he'd say, "Bells". And ifhe didn't like some-12 WWW.THEWHOLENOTE.COM N OVEMBER 1 - D ECEMBE R 7 2006

··'From left to right:DiNovi with Teddy Wilson(c.1967, photo TommyShepherd);With Benny Carter (1995);With Duke Ellington (1968).thing, he'd say, "No bells". This was an inventive mind. There usedto be a saying that if you threw something out a window in New Yorkin those days you would hit a Lester Young-type tenor player'.'But if Lester got drunk, you ran the other way fast. Zoot Simswas the only junkie I ever knew who was always affable, without abad bone in his body. Even in the worst times he always had a greatsense of humour. He was a fun-lover, and he played that way.''But those guys didn't play better because they did drugs, eventhough they thought they did. They were just so good they wereable to do it. We're talking about maybe twenty-five very talentedmusicians. But there were another 2,000 who were also killingthemselves with drugs and drinking, but couldn't play anyways. Ijust never understood. I guess I would have had a bigger name todayif I had been one of them. But I'd be dead like they are.'DiNovi has always spent a lot of time with classical musicians,like the avant-garde composer Stefan Wolpe, who taught some ofDiNovi's jazz friends. 'We were around him all the time in NewYork. He liked jazz musicians. I used to listen to records with him.He was an egomaniac, but I liked him. He was very dramatic, verygrand, and he had a bit of confidence. But let's face it, if you'regoing to write music like that you've got to be able to afford it.Guys would put money in a bowl for him.'When I ask DiNovi whether there is anyone he wishes he hadplayed with, he is, for the first time during our interview, at a lossfor words. 'I was lucky enough to play with everybody we've talkedabout. So it's more a matter of some people I wish I had playedmore with, like the drummer Kenny Clarke.''But playing alone is absolutely the badge of honour. If you'rereally comfortable doing that, you've passed a supreme test. I'm stillnot there, but I get closer every time. That's why I still practice. Alot of bass players don't like two-fisted piano players. I knew I wasstarting to play really good solo piano when a bass player walkedout on me. He said, "You're playing my part, man".''But it can be a pleasure to give up being that definite with theleft hand when you're with a great bass player like Dave Young,Neil Swainson or Don Thompson. In my era, the bebop thing wasto hit a chord and then be brilliant with the right hand. So we didn'thave to use the left hand, even though there were very few greatbass players in those days, not as many as there are now. But I'malways developing my left hand.'Since his move to Toronto in 1972, DiNovi has found terrificmusicians to record and work with. Along with Young, Thompsonand Swainson, there's the remarkably versatile clarinetist JamesCampbell, known primarily as a classical musician, as well as drummersTerry Clarke and Joe LaBarbera.DiNovi has a special rapport with audiences. 'I like people. I liketo talk to them.' He reaches them directly. It's a talent that has puthim frequently on radio and television, and taken him all over theworld performing and giving masterclasses. In fact his latest disc,Flower of the Night, was recorded on one of his many trips to Japan.'I went to Russia in 1967 with Dinah Shore. Dinah was anAmerican icon at that point. It was like she was in her living roomwith these people. But we were playing in a circus in Minsk. It wasthe most interesting experience of my life. I never want to do itagain. The orchestra was great. The lead trumpet player played sobeautifully he could make you cry, but the guy right next to himcouldn't play anything. We couldn't figure it out.

There are a lot of music critics present (there is, in fact, awhole convention of music critics taking place in Toronto), and theirchatter ranges over a wide range of musical subjects.I overhear two of them talking about an upcoming performanceby Glenn Gould. This sounds strange, to say the least - Gould has beendead for almost 25 years - and so I politely intrude to ask whatthey're talking about. It turns out that they are discussing a computerizedreproduction of Gould's 1955 recording of the GoldbergVariations that will take place at the CBC later in the month.September 21, 2006: I do some searching on the internet, and find theman who's behind this unusual event - a North Carolina-based computerwhiz named John Q. Walker. And when I reach Walker by phone atZenph Studios (the business he owns), he patiently explains to me whathe's done, and what he's going to do in Toronto.He's created a computer programme that can analyze a recordingof a piano, calculating the exact force and speed of each keystroke. Thisdata can then be fed into a high-tech, computerized player-piano called aDisklavier Pro, which will then play back the music, as the pianist originallyplayed it. His "re-performance" (as he calls it) on September 25 atthe Glenn Gould Studio, will be the first time Walker's rendering ofGould's 1955 Goldbergs will be "played" in public. And not only willit be heard coast-to-coast on the CBC, it will be recorded by Sony BMGMasterworks, for release on a digitally recorded CD.September 25, 2006: The CBC's recital hall fills up with a verycurious audience, many of whom seem to be members of Toronto' sGlenn Gould Society. CBC announcer Andrew Craig invites theaudience members to close their eyes and imagine they' re about tohear Gould, back in 1955, recording the Goldberg Variations. Aftera couple of minutes of this, I peek - and what I see, not surprisingly,is a piano playing itself: keys moving, pedals going up and down.After the "re-performance," the lobby buzzes with excitement.To some, the experience was an almost supernatural communingwith the spirit of Gould. Others - including one elderly gentlemanwho knew Gould well - were unconvinced by what they heard.As for me, I can't deny I was impressed. But in my opinion, what'sreally at issue is not whether Walker has created something thatsounds exactly like Gould, or merely almost exactly like Gould. Thebig question is, what happens now?I speak to one pianist (who shall remain nameless) whopoints out that it would be possible, with this technology, to slip acomputer disk into a piano just before a recital and "finger-synch" tohis own, or even someone else's, performance. Another clever personsuggests that a pianist could simultaneously give multiple recitals:the performance data would be transmitted, via the internet, toDisklavier pianos in halls around the world.Personally, I don't think the world's concert halls are aboutto become populated by pianists who "aren't really there" any timesoon. The most practical application, at present, of Walker's inventionis probably the re-issuing of old recordings. It will be interestingto see how well the new CD of the Goldbergs sells, when it'sreleased next year.And with all due respect to Walker, I rather hope that SonyBM G' s release of the Gould "re-performance" doesn't set any salesrecords. The classical music world can be downright necrophilic attimes , investing too much time, energy and money in the worship ofthe past. I'd rather hear a truly new recording by a living pianistwith something new to say about the Goldbergs. Let's rememberGould - but let's also move on!16~ eanadaTrust /Vf111ic ~ Scotiabank THE G LOil~ AN DMAJL ~~~~.~.~.'~.~¥if.~ Colin Eatock is a Toronto-based composer and writer, who frequentlycontributes to the Globe and Mail! and other publications.WWW.

Quoolibetby Allan PulkerK-W bluesOnce again a symphony orchestrais in the news because of its financialproblems, this time, theKitchener-Waterloo Symphony.What we are being told is that theOrchestra needs $2.5 million by theend of October if it is to continue.It is a curious state of affairs: likea bolt out of the blue, one of thecities' principal arts organizations hasgone from business-as-usual to astate of desperate insolvency. Thiswas duly noted in today's Kitchener­Waterloo Record: "the symphonydidn't allow much time ... when itoutlined its desperate financial straitswith such urgency that it still gallsmany people." (October 26)General Manager, DanielDonaldson' s explanation, quoted inthe Oct 26 Globe and Mail, didn'treally make sense of the situation:" .. . the urgency of the appeal wasdue to an unexpected plunge in theorchestra's annual earned revenue."Later he is quoted as saying" ... the KWS's problems are mainlydue to the same waning of publicinterest in live classical music thathas challenged other larger orchestras".(Meanwhile in the same fiveyears since 2001 when KWS "audiencesbegan to thin" , York University'smusic department has quadrupledin size and WholeNote's listingshave grown from around 350per issue to around 550 per issue.)On the brighter side, The Globewent on to say that the orchestra has$1. 6-million in pledges so far, noneyet from local corporations which canbe expected to chip in but need alittle time to work out the details.Let us hope the orchestra survivesthe crisis and turns to the future invigorated.The "waning interest,greying heads in the audience" approachis defeatist, and flies in theface of at least some of the evidence.Meanwhile back in Toronto theToronto Symphony Orchestra'sseason is in high gear. If you havechildren or grandchildren I recommendtaking them to hear one of itsperformances of Saint-Saens' Carnivalof the Animals on November 4& 5. On November 15 & 16 theever popular Sir Andrew Davis willconduct. On November 22, 23 &25 BBC Philharmonic conductor,Gianandrea Noseda will conduct theCanadian premiere of "The Rider onthe White Horse" by SofiaGubaidulina, Rimsky-Korsakov'sScheherazade and Schumann's AMinor Piano Concerto played byAnton Kuerti. Perhaps the Russiancontent on the program has somethingto do with the fact that Nosedahas worked extensively in that countryas the Principal Guest Conductorat the Mariinsky Theatre in St.Petersburg. The TSO then continuesits programming of music byRussian composers with two pairsof concerts, "Images of Russia" onNovember 29 & 30, conducted byYannick Nezet-Seguin and "RussianMasterworks" on December 6 & 7conducted by Peter Oundjian.On Sunday, November 26 RoyThomson Hall will present a per -formance by the London PhilharmonicOrchestra, conducted byKurt Masur. They will playBeethoven's Eroica Symphony andSibelius' Violin Concerto in D Minorwith soloist, Sarah Chang. It'sbeen 35 years since they were here.York AccoladesYork University's music program isa sleeping giant that has been growingat a furious pace, its enrolmenthaving quadrupled to 505 studentsin the past six years. York's ambitious"Accolade" project, a 280, 000square foot building with facilitiesfor music and dance, was openedlast spring and is now fully operational.The building houses manyteaching and rehearsal studios ofvarious sizes, four large rehearsalstudios suitable for large ensembles,faculty offices, an acoustical gem ofa recital hall, a theatre with a pit anda 500-seat screening room/lecturehall. While the new facility shouldbe adequate well into the future italready appears to be operating atalmost full capacity. In mid- OctoberI toured the building and foundit alive with music, everything froma lesson on a Chopin piano concerto,to Indian drumming, a lesson on theuse of filters in recording technology,choral conducting, medievalmusic, salsa percussion, jazz standardsand the interpretation of Schubertlieder.While there I spoke at some lengthCatherine Robbinwith the department's new chair,Catherine Robbin and with Facultyof Fine Arts publicity and specialprojects manager, Brigitte Kleer, whocommented that the music department,formerly housed in four buildings,none of which "was built formusic ... and were meant to be temporary,"literally outgrew its space."It's fabulous, " she added, "that theyfinally have a space that's made formusic .... " She went on to point outthat a major benefit of the new spaceis that music students are in proximityto dance, film and visual arts students,creating new opportunities forinterdisciplinary collaborations - studentmusicians creating the music forstudent dancers, student composerswriting scores for student films etc.The Music Department' s newchair, Catherine Robbin, is wellknownin Canadian music circles forher 30-year career as an opera singerand recitalist.

Some of the country'sfinest University choirs (includingManitoba, Laurier andMcGill) descend for a weekend ofworkshops, massed choir rehearsalsand concerts, the centerpiecebeing November 3 when, under theformer choirmaster of WestminsterAbbey, Martin Neary, they performthe Canadian premiere ofJames MacMillan's Sun-Dogs andthe world premiere of the latest choralwork by Canadian James Rolfe.The Czech Boys Choir, currentlytouring Canada, stops inBarrie on November 4.

SoME THING Newby Jason van EykWhat a difference a year makes!Last November there was still gloomover the loss of NuMuFest as a focusfor celebrating new music in thecity - a sense of loss further exacerbatedby the crisis at the Music Gallerychronicled in last November'sWholeNote. But the shadow is lifting.The Music Gallery has made aremarkable recovery, and the resoundingsuccess of this past summer'ssoundaXis has quietened lamentationsfor NuMuFest.The success of soundaXis as acollaborative model has also inspiredsimilar events. A case in point isthis month's Gubaidulina festival.Sofia Gubaidulina, alongside AlfredSchnittke and Edison Denisov, is amajor Russian composer of the post­Shostakovich era whose work, bothspiritual and dramatic, uses daring,original colours. Among the earliestSoviet composers to show a deepinterest in religious themes, her musicis both improvisatory and strictlyorganized on ancient mystical principles.Her interest in Russian folkand ritual instrun1ents, especially thebayan (a type of Russian accordion),furtl1er broadens the scope ofher oeuvre. Gubaidulina came to internationalattention in tl1e 1980stl1rough the advocacy of violinistGidon Kremer, to whom she dedicatedher violin concerto, Offertorium.The current Toronto festival celebratesher 75th birtl1day.The genesis of this festival wascollaborative. As Soundstreams artisticdirector Lawrence Cherney describesit "The Gubaidulina projectcame out of two separate initiatives,combined into one. In November2003, I went to Berlin to hear theRIAS Kanunerchor perform Gubaidulina's Jetzt Immer Schnee for soloists,choir and chamber orchestra.It's truly one of tl1e great masterworksof our time, tl1ough tl1ere arefew choirs that can perform it. I metGubaidulina at that time, and suggestedshe come to Toronto in conjunctionwith RIAS and her 75tl1birthday in tl1e fall of 2006.""Independently, accordionist JoeMacerollo and New Music Concertsapproached Gubaidulina about comingto Toronto early in 2006, in conjunctionwitl1 a planned visit by thebayan player Friedrich Lips. Wedecided to combine these efforts fortl1e fall of 2006. I also held discussionswitl1 tl1e TSO for more tl1an ayear to find a way to include a largeorchestra work within the festival,and we finally worked out that theywould perform Rider on a WhiteHorse. Esprit Orchestra agreed toperform a smaller orchestral work.Among the four organizations, awide spectrum is covered."The resulting Gubaidulina Festivallaunches on Wednesday November22 with tl1e Canadian premiereof Rider on a White Horse by theTSO under tl1e baton of GianandreaNoseda. (This progranune repeats onNovember 23.) For details and ticketsvisit www.tso.ca or call 416-598-3375.)November 24 Soundstreams Canadapresents the first of two Gubaidulinaconcerts with tl1e RIAS KammerchorBerlin, making its Nortl1American debut tour. The highlightof tl1e programme is Gubaidulina'sJetzt Immer Schnee. The evening alsosees RIAS joined by the Studio demusique ancienne de Montreal ina range of antiphonal works, includinga world premiere from Montrealbasedcomposer Brian Cherney. Fordetails visit www.soundstreams.ca.For tickets visit www.stlc.com orcall 416-366-7723 .A late entry into tl1e festival, saxophonistWallace Halladay reassembleshis collective devoted to themusic of20tl1and21st century masters(e.g. his Scelsi Centenary Projectand Franco Donatoni Project). Wallaceand his crew tackle Gubaidulina's chamber music November 25at the Music Gallery, focussing onthe composer's later works, includingIn Erwartung for saxophonequartet and six percussionists; Verwandlungfor saxophone quartet, basstrombone, violoncello, double bassand tam-tam; and Duo-Sonata fortwo baritone saxophones. Halladayshares the stage witl1 saxophonistRobert Carli, percussionist RyanScott and trombonist Scott Good, allconducted by Gregory Oh. TheMcGill University Percussion Ensembleunder Aiyun Huang alsomakes an appearance.

Andtl1e Esprit Orchestra takes to tl1e JaneMallett stage with bayan soloist FriedrichLips to perform Seven Wordsfor bayan, cello, and string orchestrawitl1 Paul Widner as cello soloist.Lips will also perform De Profundisfor bayan solo. Two Canadianworks complete the programme:Brian Current'sConcertina for flute solo,three flutes and string orchestra,written for flautistRobert Aitken, and theToronto premiere of SergeAcuri's La foret desclameurs, a concerto forpiano and string orchestra,with Louise Bessette assoloist.

Jazz Notesby Jim GallowayAlive, but what?.A look at the club listings in WholeNote might suggest that jazzis alive and healthy. There certainly is a lot going on, with listings forabout 40 venues, but most of it in small clubs for one or two nights aweek - and the money? Let's just say that you won't be eating out atThe Four Seasons.So alive, yes, but healthy? - not if you expect to make a living. Infact, at a number of the clubs the band passes a tip jar and what goesinto the jar becomes the band 's pay for the night. It has to be said thatthis is not always a bad thing, because sometimes the band collectsmore than the club would be able, or willing, to pay. Maybe the wholeidea of making a living playing jazz is a fantasy except for a few. I'mnot talking about the big names who travel the festival and concertcircuit; I am talking about the footsoldiers slogging it out in the jazztrenches. Right here in Toronto, perhaps the greatest concentration oftalent in the country, only a handful make a decent living from jazz;most have to supplement their income, perhaps by teaching and thusproducing even more talented players for an ailing work scene.We have come full circle. The originators of this music were largelysemi-pro. Buddy Bolden, the first legendary trumpet player to emergefrom New Orleans, was a barber and playing was a part-time thing . Itnever has been a surefire way to fame and fortune and for everysuccess story there are a thousand might-have-beens.Passing ChordWinnipeg-born singer, songwriter, producer Jackie Rae died last month.Born in 1922 his stage career began at age 3 with his brother Saul andsister Grace. They were billed as "The Three Raes Of Sunshine". ASpitfire pilot in the Second World War, he received the DFC.A highly successful career in radio and tv followed and in later yearsmany music fans knew him as vocalist and MC of The Spitfire Bandwhich he formed in 1981. He received the Order of Canada in 2002 forhis contributions to radio and television.We also lost promoter and PR guru Gino Empry in October. Born inToronto to Italian parents, Gino got the show bis bug at age 14 when hestarted a drama group. As a publicist he had a career-long relationshipwith Canada's best-known showman and entrepreneur, Ed Mirvish andfor many years was Entertainment Director/Public Relations consultantfor The Imperial Room in the Royal York Hotel. In 1993 , Empry receivedthe City of Toronto's highest honour, the Award of Merit.Bernard Primeau, for many years one of the mainstays of jazz inMontreal, also passed away last month. He gave a sparkling performanceat this year's Toronto Jazz Festival and there was no indication that itwould be his final appearance in Toronto. He was a superior drummer, agood bandleader and possessed a large helping of Gallic humour.The Montreal jazz scene is less bright with his passing.Clubs come and clubs go and the very recent demise of yetanother Toronto venue suggests to me that perhaps we need a simpleguide for prospective owners of jazz clubs. So here it is.BANDSTAND (continued from previous page)Christmas concert at Forest BrookCommunity Church, Ajax.Dec 3: The Northdale ConcertBand, Stephen Chenette, music director,present a holiday concertfeaturing guest trumpet soloist AllenBachelder at St Jude's AnglicanChurch (Wexford).Directory of BandsWe have one new band to add toour online directory of over 100community bands in Southern Ontario:LaSalle Community Band(Kingston) Mr. Chris Alfano613-546-1737To find the online directory ofcommunity bands go to www.thewholenote.com, and click onBandStand at the top of the listof sections.

Ask for advice from knowledgeable people in the business.Get some input from recognised people in the jazz scene.3. Listen to the advice.4. Be consistent with your musical policy.Changing horses in mid-stream may mean you take a bath.5. Promote what you are selling. There is no point in presentingmusic and then not telling anyone about it. You wouldn't hireSonny Rollins and keep it a secret.6. Don't do it if you don't like jazz! There are no guarantees.At the end of the day, you might still lose money!Other suggestions are welcome.In the Jazz Listings (p.s1)The sixth annual Open Door Festival of Music comes to the Mod Clubon Wednesday November 22nd.

Thepoint of the prequel is to subvertour received views of these characters,especially as presented inthe classic film, and indeed to questionthe way histories are writtencertainlymore ambitious themesthan some Broadway musicals havehad of late. The cast includesShoshana Bean as Elphaba andMegan Hilty as Glinda and playsat the Canon Theatre.Joining Wicked November ! ­December 3 is an earlier StephenSchwartz musical called Pippin(1972) about the coming of age ofCharlemagne's eldest son.

Orchestra in trouble: The OrquestaFilarm6nica de Santiago(Chile), which for many decadeshas played regularly in the TeatroMunicipal, has been shut downbecause the current managementwill not respect the conditions ofthe contract established by the Unionof Musicians and the administration.September 29, the administrationof the theatre finished firingeveryone pertaining to the unionand the collective contract. Therehas been little effective supportfrom the government of PresidentMichelle Bachelet and her Ministerof Culture, Paulina Urrutia.It is a sad state of affairs for acountry whose Constitution dictates,"it is the government's obligationto stimulate artistic creationand to protect and increase the culturalpatrimony of the nation." Theinternational community decries thedestruction of the largest symphonyorchestra in Chile and is appealingto the government of Chileto respect its workers/artists, andprotect its national cultural treasures.You can add your voice tothe protest by visitingwww.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show _campaign.TMA News is compiledby Brian BlainQuoolibetcontinued from page 18York Accoladesinvitation of former chair MichaelCoghlan, moving quickly fromworking as a part-time instructor,to a contractually limited appointmentto an associate professorshipand head of vocal studies, to thisyear beginning a three-year appointmentas chair of music. WhileMichael Coghlan, whose proteanknowledge of all that the departmentoffered facilitated his runningthe department single-handed,Robbin knew this would not bethe right approach for her, so shenow has three associate chairs.There is no doubt in her mind thatthis approach is better not only forher but also for the department,which has " ... a lot of other peoplewith tremendous strengths whoought to be brought in. To moveforward from his (Coghlan's)chairship ... it is important that wedelegate responsibility."I asked Robbin about her visionfor the department.

York Accoladescontinued from previous pageraising the admissions bar, particularlyby insisting on live auditions."If you expect much, much is muchmore likely to come your way!" Thiswill be a step on the way to making"this department the best place tostudy music in Canada. We have thetalent here to do itand beautiful, wellequippedfacilities in which to makeit happen." The development of agraduate program in performance,still several years away, is also partof her plan. This will open the doorto fully-staged operatic productionsin the new theatre, something she isunwilling to do with undergraduates,whose voices are not ready for thedemands of operatic roles.I went on to ask Robbin aboutthe challenges she faces. "Well, Isuppose I would have to admit thatgeography is a challenge ... up hereon the north end of the city .... I'dlove to be able to tell you that thesubway is corning ... it will make atremendous difference to us. " Thereare also, she added, advantages toYork's location, being so close toYork Region, one of the fastestgrowing areas in the province.York's motto "Redefine the possible"inspires Robbin. Perhaps itshould inspire those of us who havebeen deterred from going to a concertat York to go and experiencethe new recital hall.

Whatemerges is an irrepressible, outrageousand brilliantly singularpersonality.The best pieces are the mostuntouched, like Toronto composerLinda Catlin Smith's transcriptionof Feldman's 1982 lecture atMercer Union in Toronto. Apartfrom whatever thought-provokingideas Feldman is developinghere, this is wildly hilarious. "Idon't mean to be a stand-up comedian,though it looks as if I'mdeveloping some gifts I didn'tknow about," Feldman says atone point in his discourse.3 manual,32 pedalRODGERSORGANAsl:?ing $7,900York University professoremeritus Austin Clarkson's interviewwith Feldman concerningFeldman's own teacher StefanVolpe, is published in fullhere for the first time. It revealsa lot about Feldman as a teacherand as a student. Judging byhow often he tells it, Feldmanrelishes his terrific story abouthow Wolpe was once lecturinghim about pleasing the 'man onthe street' when Feldman lookedout the window and saw JacksonPollock walking down thestreet - "and he was nuts aboutmy music".Howard Skernpton relatesFeldman's discussion of his collaborationwith Samuel Becketton the opera, Neither. Beckett,embarrassed, apparently toldhim, "Mr. Feldman, I don't likeopera", and Feldman replied, "Idon't blame you".There is some choice autobiographicalmaterial, as well as unusuallyvivid discussions ofFeldman' s music in RudigerMeyer's transcription of lecturesgiven in Johannesburg in 1983.This volume makes an interestingcompliment to Feldman'scollected essays, Give My Regardsto Eighth Street. It hasbeen bound with care, with terrificphotos, score samples, aconcise biography, bibliographyand superior index.

TH EWHO LENOTE .COMRichard Cook's JazzEncyclopediaby Richard CookPenguin Books702 pages; $42.00This is an encyclopedia with adifference - it's full of opinions.For the most part the entries dealwith jazz musicians. But recordcompanies, jazz writers, schools,and recording producers are alsolisted. Richard Cook even takeson some jazz terms like ' improvisation','riff', and ' free jazz'.It's hard to see how Cook canmake room for Norah Jones butnot Bessie Smith or AlbertaHunter. Since he is British, heincludes a lot of Brits, like thedelightfully 'sharnbolic' singerand great writer George Melly.He does include a number of Canadianmusicians, but leaves outJane Bunnett, Don Thompsonand others who should be counted.And whether through faultyresearch or a typographical error,he has former Torontonian BillSmith now living on Horny Island.He can be pretty harsh in hisjudgments. Slam Stewart, ConnieKay, Carla Bley and ReginaCarter are some of the playerswho deserve better than they getfrom him. But for the most parthe is pretty ebullient, especiallyabout artists he is clearly mostpassionate about, like Sonny Rollins.In discussing the music, he focusesmainly on the recordings,and for each musician he offersjust one single recommendation -a tricky, controversial, but effectiveapproach.But what really sets this volumeapart is the vivid , wittywriting. Cook really does grapplewith the music, and in the processoffers a provocative and entertainingvolume.

PIANOPiano: The Making of aSteinway Concert Grandby James BarronTimes Books280 pages illustrated; $32.00Not every great piano is a Steinway. But no other maker - notBosendorfer, Bechstein, or thedazzling Italian newcomer Fazioli- has the mystique of Steinway.James Barron calls the Steinwaya 'ritual of the early industrialage'. It's actually reassuring tolearn, from his detailed descriptionof the process of building aSteinway concert grand, how littlehas changed over the pastcentury-and-a-half in the waythey are made - still by hand andstill painstakingly. Barron fashionshis story around the manufactureof a single concert grand.From the factory near La GuardiaAirport in Queens, NewYork, it goes to the Manhattanshowroom whose famous basementis filled with the pianosregularly used by the top performersin the world.Barron covers all aspects ofpiano-making. He tells somethingof the rocky history of the company,introduces the individualcraftsmen and their jobs, and discussesthe materials that go intothe instruments. But his chapterabout some of the pianists whoplay these instruments barelyglances the surface.Barron is a newspaper reporter.He has a strong eye for thecolourful detail and a good senseof a story line. His attempts tobe breezy sometimes turn windy,but this is the liveliest and mostcolourful of the many books onSteinway pianos to have appeared.Notes, an interesting bibliographyand index back up theextensive research.NOVEMBER 1 - DECEMBER 7 2006INSTRUCTIONCLARINET LESSONS: all ages, reasonable,Toronto East, Scarborough, Pickering; RCMexams, school assist, hobby. 416-694-8610.CLASSICAL GUITAR LESSONS RCMtrained.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10CORNER(CMCCD 6499) an additional track was added which featured Louis­Philippe Pelletier performing Nu it to complement an already stellar castof RobertAitken, Denise Lupien and the Accordes string trio.Papineau-Couture, Quebec's equivalent "dean of composers" toOntario's John Weinzweig, is done proud in this recording... \ \Hl \1 • \l•'\!I' "•I..... l•'lBruce Surtees!) It was a treat to find the same performances includedon the 1993 Centrediscs release in a scratch-free digital format.Another celebration undertaken that year, under the auspices of theOntario Region of the CMC, was a tribute to John Weinzweig on theoccasion of his 80th birthday. A recital was held at Walter Hallfeaturing a host of luminaries and the performance was later releasedas "Weinzweig in Concert" (CMCCD 5295). Highlights for me includeJoel Quarrington's performance of Refrains for contrabass and pianoand Steven Dann's Tremologue for solo viola.For me however, the real jewel in the crownfrom that decade is the Orford Quartet's"Schafer: 5" (CMCCD 39/4090). I rememberattending the Music at Sharon festival inJuly 1991 for the farewell of the Orford StringQuartet which, although disbanding after 25years, was going out with a bang, not a whimperThe weekend included two concerts - the(then) complete cycle of five R. MurraySchafer string quartets and a recreation of the quartet's first concert,originally given at Mount Orford in August 1965, which included worksof Haydn, Prokofiev and Mendelssohn. It was a moving experience thatmarked the end of an era as Canada's premiere chamber ensembledecided to "hang up its skates". The Orford had produced an extensivediscography over the years, including two complete Beethoven cycles,one on vinyl for the CBC and a compact disc version for the Deloslabel. "Schafer: 5" was, I believe, the last recording project the quartetundertook - a set that would become their legacy. It seems very fittingthat this consummate Canadian chamber ensemble would choose themusic of the quintessential Canadian composer for its swan song andthe recording continues to hold a cherished spot in my collection.r;"""1:>1.r,"'f>"tUl".~""tr""P'"A

VOCAL AND OPERAPurcellKarina Gauvin; Les Boreades;Francis ColpronATMA ACD2 2398One could not imagine anyone moreworthy to crown as Canada's ownFairy Queen than Karina Gauvmwith her tone so brilliant, yet so fullof warmth and natural charm. Andwith this collection of Henry Purcell'stheatrical songs on thethemes of Love, Night and Madness,we can easily shift our imaginationfrom the nocturnal Titaniato the noble and tragic Queen Didoor even the goddess of love herself,Venus singing the praises of Purcell'sown homeland.Equally matching Karina Gauvin's artistry and agility, LesBoreades de Montreal surely andeasily cause 'sweet cupids to claptheir wings'. Many of Purcell'sinstrumentals for the theatre areinterspersed amongst the vocal selectionsand feature the ensembleled by recorder virtuoso FrancisColpron. As for madness, it findsits perfect expression in From rosybowers, an air within which fivecontrasting sections provide thequick and abruptly-changing rangeof the (comically) distressed mmd,which Gauvin and company parodymost expertly.The plays and masques set to musicby Purcell are timeless in theirportrayals of wit, wisdom and humanfolly, and the interpretatwn ofsuch requires great art and skill.Karina Gauvin certainly deliversall that is needed.Dianne WellsConcert note: The Tafelmusik BaroqueOrchestra and ChamberChoir are joined by guest soloiststo present Purcell's The FairyQueen in four performances November29 - December 3.Mozart - Die ZauberfloteRoschmann; Milosa; Strehl;Pape; Muller-Brachmann;Arnold Schoenberg Chor;Mahler Chamber Orchestra;Claudio AbbadoDeutsche Grammophon 477 5789This is, surprisingly, Claudio Abbado's first recording of Mozart'sThe Magic Flute, and it's wonderful.It's lyrical, in the best Viennesetradition of the classic Bohmand Klemperer recordings. But ithas the transparent, detailed texturesthat make the period-instrumentrecordings of Christie andGardiner so compelling. Abbado'sphrasing is so buoyantly natural thatthe whole performance flows withdelightful inevitability. He maintainsthe exhilarating momentumright from the energetic overturethrough to the very grand finale.The cast has no weak link. Thestandout is Dorothea Roschmann.She has a big, richly expressivevoice, yet she makes a poignant, dramaticallyconvincing Pamina. HannoMi.iller-Brachmann's Papageno isfull of character. Christoph Strehl'syouthful Tamino has the requisitebeauty and ardour, while the splendidRene Pape brings warmth andhumanity to the role of Sarastro.A coloratura soprano can pull offan effective Queen of the Night justby singing all the notes in tune and ontime. But Erika Mikl6sa managesa lovely sound even on those notorioushigh F's. The three boys fromthe Tolzer Knabenchor are a treat,contributing a vibrant yet otherworldlypresence. The small-scaleMahler Chamber Orchestra andthe Arnold Schoenberg Chor are elegantand responsive. .This recording was taped live lastyear during performances in Modena,Italy. The recording qualtty isremarkably realistic. The only tipoffsthat this is a live recording arethe laughter during the dialogue,and the clapping and shouting at theend. The dialogue, given almost infull is indeed entertaining, butsho~ld be on separate tracks.Pam Marg/esPerformance note: Opera Atelieris presenting The Magic Flute withthe Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestraat the Elgin Theatre November 17- 26.

In1979 at the centenary of the cycle,'French director PatriceChereau completely revitalized andreassessed the Ring and with the adventof the DVD, it became accessibleto many. Several revivals tookplace afterwards. One of these is thefamous, or infamous, "StuttgartRing" where four different directorsundertook the task to "deconstruct"Wagner, bringing it to the modernera with rather controversial results.The music, however comes outunscathed as is proven by this extraordinary,vivid live performanceof Die Walkure. Lothar Zagrosekis mostly responsible for its success.He conducts with swiftspeeds, with a grand vision of thework and paces it so well that thereis not only a great deal of excitementbut also much beautiful lyricismand expansion when required.Also notable here is the singers'emphasis on clarity, elocution, deliveryand empathy to Wagner's text.Perhaps the strongest member of thecast is Robert Gambill, as Siegmund,a strong Heldentenor but with anunusual and appealing vulnerab1lttyin his voice that sets him apart fromother Wagner tenors. With AngelaDenoke, a passionate and beautifullysung Sieglinde, they make awonderful pair of Walsung twins.WWW. THEWHOLENOTf.COM

But as anyone who isfamiliar with her Zerbinetta knows,Kutan has a perfect voice forStrauss's "other" soprano parts - thehighflying coloratura ones. On thisnew CD she tackles some of the tonepoems which are usually the territoryof an Ariadne or Marschall in, anddoes so with great success .Kutan lets her voice pour forth likea bird fluttering out of a cage, neverpushing it or giving it artificial weight.111e result is incredibly delicate singingwhich shimmers and glistens,without a dent in its beautiful lustre.Occasionally, such delicacy is a littletoo precious. At the end of the everpopularStiinchen, Kutan sings on aclimactic A sharp that the rose willshine forth, "hoch gliihn," but youcannot hear it in the clean, bright,but underpowered note she sings.The selection of songs is generousand varied. The Brentano Liederare perhaps most suited to Kutan's voice. Here, she lets forthbursts of notes and trills with pinpointaccuracy and a burnishedtone , while revelling in the texts ofthese songs about flowers, birdsand love. Louise-Andree Baril providessympathetic piano accompaniment.The CD is beautifullypackaged, but Kutan's excellentenunciation is no compensation forthe absence of texts in the booklet.Seth EstrinUne Flute Invisible .. .

Theyconvey the poetic melding of the visualand the auditory to produce atmosphericimages created by yearningsthat brew just under the surface,so popular at the time. We aregiven an imaginary chamber operain six scenes, which takes VictorHugo's poem Viens! - une flute invisible,in which a young man declareshis love while "a flute unseensighs in the orchards" as the centraltheme set by various Frenchcomposers. Selections by Saint­Saens, Debussy, Godard, Caplet,Pierne and Roussel are organizedinto six tableaux each beginningwith a piece for solo piano fromDebussy's Epigraphes antiques.Each of the four musicians, SandrinePiau, soprano; Herve Lamy,tenor; Gilles de Talhouet, flute;Arthur Schoonderwoerd, piano;take various pairings in the strange,fluctuating harmonies, but equalturns in evoking the sensuous worldof shepherds, nymphs, naiads, satyrs,and other woodland creatures. The flute evokes virtuosityand magic of the unseen Pan whilesoprano and tenor as lovers cometogether only at the end in a tenderand sensitive rendition set by Saint­Saens in 1856, the same year asthe Hugo poem was published.Dianne WellsKyrylo Stetsenko -The Art SongsPavlo Hunka; Albert Krywolt;Russell Braun; BenjaminButterfield; Roman BorysMusica Leopolis(www.musicaleopolis.com)British bass-baritone, Pavlo Hunka,a name now familiar to Canadiansthrough his association with the CanadianOpera Company, has takena giant step towards introducing theworld to the Ukrainian art song. Recordedand produced in Toronto by68 WWW. TH EWHOL ENOTE .CO MIi rR'liO.. i '=TSEi\i!\G,-=~~\ .,. ICanadian singer, composer and director,Roman Hurko and generouslysupported by the Ukrainiancommunity, the CD is very mucha collaboration: pianist, AlbertKrywolt, plays on all 42 tracks; andwhile the lion's share of the songsare sw1g by HWlka, there are significantcontributions by tenor, BenjaminButterfield, baritone, RussellBraun and cellist, Roman Borys.Careful listening to songs and followingthe text, generously providedin the original Ukrainian withEnglish, French and German translations,reveals a composer who wasa master of his craft. In This Song isFor You, for example, an octaveleap, used by Butterfield for all itsexpressive worth, illustrates the composer'sclaim that his lyre will burstinto flames because of the intensityof his love. Many of the songs arisefrom the pain and anguish ofUkraine's lamentable history of oppressionby its neighbours. The starkpedal on open fifths on the piano atthe beginning of A Raven Caws, theangular melodic line in My Songs ,are devices effectively used to conveythe sorrow, grief, despair andloss that were the human price ofpolitics . The message is helpedalong too by Hunka's resonant bassvoice, which seems infused withthe sorrow of his Ukrainian ancestors.Stetsenko 's writing for thepiano , performed ever so intelligentlyand expressively by AlbertKrywolt , is masterful - mirroring,commenting on, supporting and (asat the end of My Songs) even addingto the meaning.Allan PulkerConcert note: The Elmer IselerSingers join with the VesnivkaChoir, Victoria Men's Chorale Ensembleand Kyiv Chamber Choirunder Mykola Hobdych's directionfor "The Sounds of Ukraine" onNovember 3 at the George WestonRecital Hall.Schoenberg - Moses und AronSchone; Merritt; Bespalovaite;Schneider; Ebbecke; Durr;Stuttgart State Opera;Roland KluttigNaxos 8.660158-59! I H '!'! -..rSome critics have called the Schoenbergmasterpiece "an impossibleopera" referring to the difficultyof the dodecaphonic music and theinherent problems of staging. Thebiblical story doesn't help either,though these days a burning bush ora staff-turned-snake should be acakewalk for ambitious designers.Added to this, it only exists as a fragment- Schoenberg did not completethe third act. In its form and subjectmatter it's much closer to the Handeland Haydn oratorios than to anyopera. Then there is the issue of"group" characters - but that obstaclenever stopped many productionsof Prokofiev 's The Love forThree Oranges. It is back to musicthen: the twelve-tone method stillconfounds the listeners. The verypeople who happily sat through somany hours of the sometimesdreary and overwrought Wagner' sRing Cycle refuse to sit throughunder three hours of music based ,as Schoenberg put it, on a singletone-row.The composer, who was also thelibrettist, eschews the dramatic potentialof the Exodus from Egypt andinstead concentrates on the philosophicalclash between two interpretationsof religion - the representative,tangible idolatry of Aron andthe mystical, incomprehensible monotheismof Moses. The reasons forthat lie in Schoenberg's own life.Prompted by escalating Austrian antisemitism,in 1933, Schoenberg returnedto Judaism after three decadesas a Lutheran. It is worth noting,that Moses und Aron was writtenbetween 1928 and 1932, so thework is a direct reflection of that journey.In this performance on NaxosCD, you will not find hUlllIDablearias or snippets popularized by TVcommercials. Instead, you will find,beautifully executed, one of the mostchallenging works of the 20th century.Any opera buff worth his orher salt, owes it to themself to takeup this challenge.Robert TomasConcert note: The Art of Time Ensemblepresents "Arnold Schoenberg:A Portrait" featuring Ode toNapoleon (with Ted Dykstra), VerkliirteNacht and Strauss' EmperorWaltz in Schoenberg's arrangementN O VEMBER 1 - D ECEMBER 7 2006

at the Harbourfront Theatre Centreon November 9 and 10.Arvo Part - Triodion; Ode VII;I Am the True VineElora Festival Singers;Noel EdisonNaxos 8.570239Arvo Part - Da PacemEstonian PhilharmonicChamber Choir; Paul Hillierharmonia mundi HMU 807401The Estonian-born Arvo Part (b.1935), is among the most wellknowncomposers of both instrumentaland choral works active today.He also belongs to a small but influentialgeneration of European composerswho re-discovered the spiritualpotency and profound musicallegacy embedded in ancient Christianliturgy. In Part's case, this searchfor a musical language and personalfaith amid the anti-religious climateof Soviet era Estonia culminatedin his Credo (1968), in which themusical language of J.S. Bach andmodernism were presented in openconflict. It seems difficult for thoseliving outside the iron curtain to conceiveat this remove, but such awork of faith and artistic convictionwas seen as a direct political provocationto Soviet officials.In the following decades, Partcomposed an impressive corpus ofmusically inventive, emotionally andspiritually-charged works. Theseinclude both large-scale choral workssuch as the St. John Passion andKanan Pokajanen, and the smallerscale ones included on these twobeautifully sung and presented CDs.The superb Elora Festival Singerspresent works in Part's maturestyle (1990 - 2001). What particularlydistinguishes them is Part's colourfulmusical palette, culled froman immensely wide range of historicalEuropean musical sources. Inthese compositions you can hearstyles and techniques from medievalplainchant, conductus and rhythmicmodes, as well as Orthodox dronesand Renaissance polyphony. In con-N O VEMB ER 1 - D ECEMBER 7 2006trast, other sections of the same workare often steeped in the flavour oflater-period harmonic modulationswhich are skillfully and surprisinglymingled and merged with disjunctmodernist melodic leaps and piquantharmonies. I suppose that's whatmakes Part's work 'post-modern'.The primacy of the religious text alwaysshines through however, propellingthe music to its logical andoften magical completion. Just listento the mystical sounding series ofcadential chords which end TheWoman with the Alabaster Box .Given the acclaimed EstonianPhilharmonic Chamber Choir'sslightly larger forces and a morespacious recording hall, the sonicresult on their Harmonia MundiCD is more distant. Interestingly,this results in making Part's musicsound overall more traditional - thatis less edgy - than on the EloraSingers' recording. The tempi takenby Part expert Paul Hillier inDopa la vittoria are also a little slowerthan those taken by Noel Edison,adding to the more relaxed musicalmood evoked by the Estonians.In general I prefer Edison's masterful,more incisive, approach.As Paul Hillier writes in hisnotes on Part's Magnificat, "It ispossible to analyze this work, butimpossible to explain why the resultis so lovely." It's a prime exampleof Part's ability to seize theessence of a text and express itssignificance in what seems like asingle inspirational moment.Andrew TimarConcert notes: Noel Edison and theElora Festival Singers present "SoupConcert: A Canadian Choral Tapestry"as part of the Elora FestivalWinter Series on November 19.

And whenthose players form a wonderfullyWWW. THEWHOLENOTf.COMmature and cohesive unit, then youhave a very compelling recipe.Joseph Eybler had been a choristerat St. Stephan's and was close toHaydn, carrying on a correspondencethat spanned decades. His immersionin Viennese musical life gave himgreat advantage in corning to gripswith the relatively new string quartetform. Eybler's output is very muchin the post-rococo idiom, well craftedand easy on the ears. Three 1787quartets are presented here, from thecomposer's 22nd year.The newly-formed Eybler quartetof Toronto (Julia Wedman, AisslinnNosky, Patrick G. Jordan and MargaretGay) tackles this material withpoise and grace. They play upon theirremarkably expressive period instruments,almost convincing the listenerthat this is 18th century Vienna,when in fact it is the culmination of adozen days' recording this year, atToronto's Hurnbercrest United.Recording producer Kevin Mal-' I I HIon has tamed Humbercrest's cavernousreverberation so that all instrumentsspeak clearly to us.

However, Ihad to admit that this performancemerited some serious apples.Which group has best earned thegifts of my undying praise? Shouldthe efforts of the DVD be laudedor punished? Should the modesty ofthe CD be commended or condemned?I thought of how Parisdealt with his task, and it occurredto me that I have no desire to bethe cause of the Trojan War. So, Ikept the apple and both discs. I recommendyou do the same.Gabrielle McLaughlinCLASSICAL ANDBEYONDwhen during performance of apiece of music, time stands still andthe performer (sometimes the composer)and the listeners fully sharein this precious immobility."Sonate pour arpeggione et piano"in A minor (D.821) by Franz Schubertseems to be entirely composedof such "blue notes". Possibly oneof the best examples of Schubert'slate chamber period (composed threeyears before the composer's untimelydeath in 1828), the Arpeggione Sonataowes its existence to an ephemera,called the guitarre d'amour. Justa year earlier Viennese instrumentmaker Johan Georg Stauffer inventedthis oversized instrument withdulcet tones. Unlike a regular guitar,the arpeggione (that was Schubert'sterm for the weird invention)is bowed, not plucked. Needless tosay, the invention did not take andSchubert's sonata is the only piecefor it still in the repertoire. Thanksto similarities with the cello, transcriptionswere relatively easy andquickly became popular. There is areference recording for this piece -with the incomparable Mstislav Rostropovichand Benjamin Britten. Canadian-bornQueyras and his colleagueTharaud are definitely on theirway to becoming a formidable duo- their passion for music, combinedwith fearless selections of repertoire(this disc also contains music ofBergand Webern) are the qualities necessaryto deliver on many "blue notes".While I have to honestly say thatthe Britten/Rostropovich recording isstill beyond compare, this HarmoniaMundi issue will become one ofmy new favourites and not just be-Year with good reason - she continuesto perform and record at the highestlevel. With this new release ofthree Piano Sonatas, Hewitt beginsher recording tour of Beethoven. Inher well-written liner notes, she discussesher selections for this CD -one well-known sonata, one lesserknownsonata, and an overplayed'student' sonata.While it is true that the Op. 10,No. 3 D Major Sonata is often playedby students, there is good reason -it's an excellent work, and Hewittreally shines in this performance. Inthe first movement, she generates atremendous sense of energy, withher brilliantly clear articulation andgreat rhythmic drive. Hewitt also displaysa very natural sense of rubatothroughout this disc, allowing thephrases to move forward and relaxin turn, well demonstrated in the lastmovement of this sonata, with its'question and answer' phrases.I've loved the Op. 7 E flat MajorSonata ever since I learned it for myRoyal Conservatory Grade X exam,so I was especially pleased to hearAngela's fresh and flowing interpretationof this work.To round off this disc, we get asolid performance of the dramaticOp. 57 F minor Sonata. For me, Iprefer a little more elemental roughnessin this piece. The audio qualityof this disc is really gorgeous, but Iwould have liked that feeling of theVU meters plunging over into thered a few times. Sometimes, screamingrage needs to be unleashed withno concern for anything else.Jamie Parker•. I

in space, these pieces are most evocativeand satisfying, demanding repeatedhearings.The bonus track on the seconddisc is a video in which Rattle talksabout each piece and is seen in rehearsals,together with appreciationsof the four new pieces andstatements by the composers.Bruce SurteesPiano Left Hand RecitalAntoine RebsteinClaves 50-2502Look, Ma. One hand! Perhaps AntoineRebstein thought he could haveplayed this with one hand tied behindhis back, but when his right handceased to function, it seemed his careerhad come to an end. Fortunately,there appears to be plenty of repertoirefor left hand alone.For example, Brahms' transcriptionof Bach's Chaconne from thePartita No. 2 in D minor for solo violinshows respect of Bach's economicelegance in creating harmony andcounterpoint with limited resources.The baroque-influenced 6 Studies,Op. 135 by Saint-Saens are beautifullycrafted, tuneful pieces that explorethe full range of the piano.Apparently, a lack of manuscriptpaper prompted Dinu Lipatti 's Sonatina,based on Rumanian folk themes,to be written on single staves. Thesemovements are rich in sonority andtexture, more than compensating fortheir small appearance on the page.Alexander Scriabin's lyrical Preludein C-sharp minor, and rhapsodicNocturne in D-flat Major are characteristicof this composer, whilein Erwin Schulhoff's Suite No.3and Leopold Godowsky' s SymphonicMetamorphoses of the Schatz­Walzer, we hear almost unbelievablecompositions which one can hardlyimagine being played with twohands, let alone one.This recording not only illustratesseveral composers' cleverness inwriting for one hand, but also theillusion of virtuosity seemingly beyondthe capability of one hand.Rebstein, the musical magician,successfully maintains this illusion,effortlessly sounding as if he wereplaying with two.Frank NakashimaNOVEMBER 1 - DECEMB ER 7 2006MODERN ANDCONTEMPORARYThe Henry Brant CollectionVolume 3: Wind, Water,Clouds & Fire; Litany of Tides;Trinity of SpheresVarious Artistsinnova 410Eldon Rathburn - WorksChamber Players of CanadaATMA ACD2 2371While Elliott Carter continues aregular composing output at 97,here are CDs of new works by twoother vigorous, if more junior, seniors.Henry Brant was born inMontreal 93 years ago and EldonRathburn in Queenstown NewBrunswick three years later.The major Brant offering, dated2004, features the forces of the Milwaukeepremiere - three women'schoirs, a children's choir, ensemblesof violins and trumpets, other solowinds, percussion, piano, harpsichord,harp, dispersed around theperformance space under five conductors,with the composer addingimprovisations on organ and xylophonefrom a balcony. In this amazing35-minute "extraplanetary environmentaloratorio" the choruses,separated in the hall, sing texts fromthe notebooks of Leonardo on thefour topics of the title - one textassigned to each chorus - simultaneouslyand independently. Giventhe texts' emphasis, the entirescore is pitched in the upper registers,middle-C and higher.Brant's long specialization in spatialtreatment of large ensembles datesfrom his teaching years at BenningtonCollege in Vermont. In a convertedbarn, he developed precisionin placement of high or low, weakor strong timbres, as described in hisessay "Space as an essential elementin musical composition" ( 1965). Fordecades his works were unavailableon disc, considered unrecordable.WWW. THEWHOLENOTf.COMThe spatial qualities of Wind, Water,Clouds & Fire, now superbly capturedby Innova, nonetheless have tobe imagined: like most Brant, this ismusic intended for live performance.The companion works, from 1983and 1978 respectively, are no lessoverwhelming and original. The Litanyof Tides , a cycle of "spatial antiphonies,"evokes a wide varietyof tidal actions: loud surges of energyin low brass and percussionalternate with delicate wave patternsfeaturing a peripatetic soloviolin and, in the distance, four solosopranos. In the wildest of the double-orchestraupheavals, the sopranosare still audible. Brant co-conductsboth here and in Trinity of Spheres.Eldon Rathburn's career is celebratedin a retrospective CD featuringthe core musicians of the OttawaInternational Chamber MusicFestival where the disc waslaunched this past summer. Theearliest of the dozen pieces waswritten in 1933, the latest in 2002.They represent what the Englishcall "light music" (Coates, Hoffnung),a category reflected inNorth Americans such as LeroyAnderson and Spike Jones.

He was avirtuoso pianist, polemicist andGuru to a generation of Californianmavericks, notably John Cage andLou Harrison.The New York-based Continuumnew music ensemble, currently celebratingits 40th season, has featuredCowell's music frequently over theyears and has recently made theirexcellent performances of his musicwidely available on two Naxos volumes,of which the second is themore tightly focused of the pair. Itaptly demonstrates Cowell's variedcreative genres, including the extendedpiano techniques (tone clustersand performing directly uponthe strings of the instrument) whichbrought him his early notoriety aswell as a selection of beautifullycrafted instrumental works demonstratinghis life-long interest in vernacularmusic outside the Europeancanon. His captivating 1957 triofor violin, piano and Persian drum,Homage to Iran, remains one of hisfinest achievements and it is wellworth owning this volume for thiswork alone.Originally issued on the now defunctCRI label, the New WorldRecords re-issue of the music of LouHarrison (1917-2003) adroitly highlightshis abiding interest in percussionensembles, the music of the FarEast, and just intonation systems.Among the Asian-influenced worksare the exuberant Concerto in Slendrofor violin and ensemble and threehauntingly evocative Gamelan pieces.The remarkable Suite for Percussionfrom 1942 features a novelcollection of brake drums, iron tunsand garbage cans - instruments,Harrison notes, "Henry Cowell guidedus to" . The most Western orientedof the selections, the String QuartetSet of 1979 (commissioned byToronto's own New Music Concerts)is rather less compelling,owing in part to a disappointinglyarid-sounding 1980 studio readingby the Kronos Quartet.Daniel FoleyIn TransitTimothy McAllister, saxophone;Kathryn Goodson, pianoinnova innova 652I spend a fair amount of time on theweb keeping in touch with my fellowsaxophonists around the worldon a site called the Sax on the WebForum (www.saxontheweb.net/vbulletin).

It's also a good wayto find out what recordings areworth listening to, and which onesto take a pass on.When I saw a recording by TimothyMcAllister on the monthly listof new releases, I immediatelyknew I had to get this CD. McAllisteris one of the most reveredplayers of classical and contemporarymusic on the saxophone.The opening track, StreetlegalbyRoshanned Etezady grabbed meright away. The piece is audaciousand aggressive from the very firstnote. McAllister's range on thesoprano saxophone is incrediblypowerful, accurate, and well controlled.He's definitely the standardbearer on this instrument.The Sonata for alto saxophoneand piano by William Albright hasbecome one of the most importantand frequently performed works inthe saxophone repertoire, and Idoubt you '11 be able to find a betterperformance of it on record.The recording also includes MiltonBabbitt's Accompanied Recitative,Gregory Wanamaker's SonatDeus Sax Machinaand Mischa Zupko's In Transit.I'd consider this disc an essentiallisten for any saxophonist whowants to hear just what can be donewith the instrument, but I have nohesitation in recommending it toany listeners who'd like to hearsome new and marvellous music -everything was composed withinthe last 25 years, 4 of the composersare still with us, and 3 of themhave yet to enter their fourth decade.Merlin Williamswas a he a composer, but also a radioproducer, a teacher and a choralconductor. Like others in this Portraitsseries, this is a two disc set,the first being a biographical documentarywith musical excerpts, thesecond presenting three major works,all of them fine examples of Glick'slarge and varied output. The PianoConcerto from 1992 features soloistRalph Gothoni, who also directs theFinlandia Sinfonietta. It's a largescalepiece, characterized by broadsweeping lines, the piano writing notdissimilar to that of Prokofiev. Writtentwo years later, the String Quartet#2 played by the St. LawrenceQuartet, shows a much darker tone,its angular lines and more dissonantharmonies clearly the music of acomposer beset by difficulties in hispersonal life.During the late 1960s, Glick foundhimself drawn to a book of poetryand drawings written by children ina concentration camp. The result wasthe song cycle I Never Saw AnotherButterfly, completed in 1968. Here,Maureen Forrester (to whom the setwas dedicated) and pianist JohnNewmark admirably evoke thehaunting mood of the texts.My only disappointment in thisilluminating portrait is that Glick'schoral piece The Hour has Comewas not presented in its entirety. Tome, this uplifting work contains amessage of hope and forgiveness thatseems particularly poignant duringthese troubled times. Nevertheless,the documentary is a fine tribute to adistinguished Canadian composerwho quietly carved out his nichebefore leaving us far too soon.Richard HaskellJAZZ, BLUES ANDIMPROVISEDWorkin' With The MilesDavis QuintetMiles DavisPrestige PRCD-30080-2Tenor MadnessSonny Rollins QuartetPrestige PRCD 30044-2Best of Brubeck (1979-2004)Dave Brubeck QuartetConcord Jazz/TelarcCCD2-30075-2The Prestige label was an importantsource of jazz in the '50s, a kind ofCanadian Composer Portraits: 'farm team' that recorded artists onSrul Irving Glickthe way up, or sidemen with moreVarious Artistsfamous leaders.

(EMI hasalso been putting out his Blue Notealbums in a special series.)To satisfy an agreement with Prestigebefore moving to ColumbiaRecords, Miles Davis' working quintet(John Coltrane, Red Garland, PaulChambers and Philly Joe Jones)made 4 standard-setting albums:"Cookin'"; "Relaxin'"; "Steamin'";and this one, "Workin'".It would seem that Miles approachedthe sessions as a typicalnight's club work, recordingFour,In Your Own Sweet Way and ItNever Entered My Mind (which isnearly as great as the earlier BlueNote version).All these were in Davis' repertoire,so he didn't work up new material,and yet, at this time the groupwas developing a whole new wayof playing jazz, eschewing formulaicbebop and leading into modal jazz,to be most firmly exemplified on"Kind Of Blue" for Columbia.Be sure to get this one, as well asthe other three essential works.From the same series comes"Tenor Madness" from Sonny Rollins,who borrowed Miles' rhythmsection, and his tenorman on thetitle track. This blues is the onlyrecording of Sonny with Trane, themajor young, leading saxophonistsof the mid-50s, and I'd say that Rollinswas the more completely developedat this point. They treat"Tenor Madness" fraternally ratherthan as a cutting contest, it beinga casual, spur-of-the-momentmeeting.For the quartet selections, thejaunty Paul's Pal is the only original,alongside standards When Your LoverHas Gone; My Reverie and TheMost Beautiful Girl in the Worldwhich starts out as a waltz but endsup in decidedly swing time."Best ofBrubeck" (1979-2004) isa two-disc compilation of the pianist/composer'swork for two labels,Concord and Telarc, with one discfor each, a total of twenty tracks.Casual jazz fans still think ofBrubeckwith Paul Desmond, but in factDave's been playing sans Paul (otherthan special events) since 1967,longer than they did as a pair.Later reed men included JerryBergonzi on tenor, clarinettist BillSmith and most recently Buffalo'sBobby Militello on alto. RandyJones is on drums and Jack Six onbass for most of it, and some trackshave offspring Chris Brubeck onbass or bass trombone.I've always thought Brubeckmade his best music before an audience,and live recordings dominatethis selection of standards andDave's originals, all in all a worthypackage from a still-contributingartist.Ted 0 'ReillySliding DownMelissa StylianouSleeping Bee Music SBM 1002(Festival Distribution)Over the past few years, MelissaStylianou has developed into a frontrankjazz singer, stylish yet unmannered.Living in New York now,studying and performing, Melissa isready for a front-and-centre breakthroughto large audiences, as provenby her assured independent release"Sliding Down".The eleven tracks range from theearly '30s (Them There Eyes, donein a fun and flirty way) to the Beatles(Blackbird) and originals (includingThree Little Girls with lovely openvowelvocalise, rather than scat, andplayful Mary's in the Tub, as well asthe ethereal title tune).In her own compositions, there'sa penchant for less-common time signaturesbut she can do straight-aheadjazz 4/4, and does so on what aremy favourite tracks (I know, I'mold!).

On other tracks, she's accompaniedby a mix-and-match of Torontotalent, including Kim Ratcliffe onacoustic guitar, Kevin Breit on otherplectrum instruments, ArtieRoth's solid bass and drummer TedWarren. There's even a cellist(Kevin Fox) on a couple of trackswhere the promising young pianistJamie Reynolds is also heard.Missing from this release is thecalm stage presence that Melissaexhibits in live performances. Allthose apprentice years at Toronto'snoisy-but-charactered Rex Hotelgave her a chance to learn how tofocus, and win over an audience.She has certainly won me over ...Ted O'ReillyFrom This Moment OnDiana KrallVerve Records B0007323-02With this release, "crossover artist"Diana Krall solidly crossesback to her jazz roots, and showsthe maturation as an artist that I'vebeen waiting for since I first mether nearly two decades ago. She'sa shy person, without arroganceand pushiness, but there 's alwaysbeen tentativeness. Now, a playfulself-confidence is on display, andshe shows her great 'time' feel.Working with the Clayton IHamilton Jazz Orchestra on sevenof the twelve tracks (the sensuousquartet closer, The Boulevard ofBroken Dreams is a 'bonus track')Krall sings solid standards ratherthan the originals (written with husbandElvis Costello) of her previousalbum.I think she left behind some ofher fan base with that pop outing,but "From This Moment On"should reassure them, presentingswingers like Day In, Day Out andIsn't This A Lovely Day as well asthe title tune. Arranger John Claytonworks in a loose (if a touchbland) Basie style, adding nicewoodwinds and French horns on thesmokier selections like WillowWeep For Me. Soloists from theband are given good room - theberries in the muffins.Diana's quartet working group iswell-represented here, both bright(I Was Doing Alright) and melancholic(Little Girl Blue). AnthonyWilson's guitar is upfront, and thework's co-leaders John Clayton andJeff Hamilton are on bass and drums.To my ears this is Diana's bestalbum to date: well-chosen, wellpaced,and well-recorded. Perhaps, if she's reclaiming her jazzroots, the confident Ms. Krallshould now ask Rob McConnell toWhat's Going Onwrite her a more adventurous album.Dirty Dozen Brass BandTed O'Reilly Shout 826663-10178At St. Andrews ChurchHot Five JazzmakersIndependent BTCD 2012Recorded on the 10th ofFebruary ofthis year, this musical outing with theHot Five Jazzmakers, (all seven ofthem on this recording!), is dedicatedto the music and spirit of earlyNew Orleans jazz. The Jazzmakershave been a fixture on the Canadianscene for almost 20 years and theirJove of the music clearly shows.The programme, recorded beforean audibly enthusiastic audience -perhaps I should say congregation -is a familiar mix of traditional jazzand gospel songs ranging from TheOld Rugged Cross to Joshua Fit TheBattle Of Jericho and a couple of lesserknown songs, In The Garden andWhen I Move To The Sky.The band plays with an honesty andenthusiasm which captures thecharm of the music from that era.The soloists play comfortably withinthe idiom and everybody has a chanceto stretch out, but the band also shinesin its ensemble playing, an essentialingredient of this music. Eight of thetwelve selections feature vocals byvarious members of the band and Imust confess that to my ears they playbetter than they sing! But it does nottake away from the fact that this isan enjoyable and entertaining strolldown the Bourbon Street that used tobe.The musicians having and givinga good time are Jordan Klapman,piano, Glenn Anderson, drums,Janet Shaw, reeds/vocals, AndrejSaradin, trumpet, Bryan Day,string bass/vocals, JamieMacpherson, banjo and Brian Towers,leader/trombone/vocals.Jim GallowayThe New Orleans-based The DirtyDozen Brass Band CD "What'sGoing On" is a remake of the classicMarvin Gaye recording of thesame name.

Demonstrative as well as discordant,his strident runs andchoked vibrato allow him to practicallyrecompose tunes such asGiant Steps and Cherokee.

Themost characteristic work is on twoextended tracks. Chasing/PraisingThe Lord, for instance, arches upwardsfrom Gayle's crying split tonesand flattement to the trio members'alternating strident, resonating instrumentaltimbres with guttural speaking-in-tongues,evocations of divinemercy and God's name. Wimberly'stympani rolls and Benson's legatoarco swells bounce and ripple behindthe saxophonist's yodeling brokentones on Holy Redemption.

JungleBeats II, her encore, is a jumpyand jocular summation of the proceedings,melding jazz's rubatofreedom with the recurring tremoloof South African dance themes.In the fourth decade of her musicalcareer, the Swiss pianistproves without dispute that a wellappointed concert hall is one properplace to hear her music - shouldshe want to play there.Ken WaxmanSextantGianni Lenociambiences magnetiquesAM 154CDWWW.

Making records with everyonefrom Tomasz Stanko, Uri Caine,Mat Maneri to Matthew Shipp, he'sswallowed up whole by the art ofstretching his proverbial wings toenrich the jazz guitar landscape.Let's face it; there aren't manytraditional jazz guitarists willing togo out on a limb, which is whyO'Leary's latest trio "Awakening"is such a welcome sign. His modularsound reminds one of a harsherMetheny, but one who shows assuranceand a knack for testing newwaters. Bassist Steve Swallow,along with percussionist Pierre Favre,creates some interestinggroundwork for O'Leary to bask in.Swallow's insistence on leading thesession results in some rather tenaciousconflict in certain sections, allthe while Favre throws in colouringgalore in between the string players'skilled interaction. The moments ofstark beauty arrive when O'Learytrades in his electric guitar for 12-string acoustic and duels out withSwallow's tenderly spoken bass.What is most enthralling about thissession is the dialogue that is developedamongst the trio. This is a trulyrich and starkly beautiful session -the outcome of three players talkingon a par with one another.Judging by the amount of materialreed player Ken Vandermark hasthrown at us over the last little while,it's a surprise this is the first timehe's come up with a two percussionist- one reedman line-up. Recallingthe wonderful Brotzman-Benninkaxis, Vandermark moves fullonwith his programme. Employingpercussionists Tim Daisy and RobertBarry, his modus operandi is tothrow caution to the wind. This isn'tfree-playing by any stretch of theimagination. Though the trio getswild'n'heavy at times, Vandermarkkeeps everyone in check. His ownwild demeanour ensures the othersknow their place in the scheme ofthings. Both drummers (Barry beinga Sun Ra Arkestra alumni, whileDaisy is only half his age, but alreadymaking a solid name for himselt)strike out into the free-regions ofpoly-rhythmic scales and multi-facetednon-metric drumming.Throughout it all, the pulse remainssolid. When players break out in theirwildest abandon, they're still broughtback into reality and play more orless in a harsh melodic fashion. Withfive originals (dedicated to variouskey percussionists), and six choicecovers (from Eric Dolphy, Sun Ra,Albert Ayler, Ed Blackwell, HerbieNichols and John Coltrane), Vandermarkis eager to show an open-endedprogramme that will be encompassedby those who love free musicand those who love the history of jazz.N OVEMBER 1 - D ECEMBER 7 2006

Which only leaves me with one question:is this really free jazz for thosescared to dig deeper into the genreor is it simply a history lesson in jazzdrumming?Much in the same way I findMonk's music difficult to talk aboutI also find it very hard to discuss Ra~Blake's music. Not because I find itdemanding or off-putting. Just theopposite is true. Over the years, I'veconnected to his quirky delivery, hissense of adventure and his singularityon the piano. This personal magnetismmakes it very difficult to geta fair distance from the subject thatis being discussed. Forty years sincehis solo piano debut and an occasionto celebrate his 70th birthday, "AllThat Is Tied" marks a key milestonein this genius' lifeline. Every singlekey that is struck, every single chordchange and every single phrase hasa purpose. Blake is not known forwasting anything in his delivery. Withthe exception of the title piece, allnumbers are Blake originals whichconfirm the importance of this singularfigure in the world of newmusic, not just jazz. To relegateBlake to the jazz category wouldin fact be a misnomer, even thoughhe tends to be boxed into this category.When he strikes the ivorykeys, it's with a sense of purpose.Harsh, tender, mellow or somewherein between, he 's never indifferentwhere his fingers land.Mapped out in his head, the masterplan is balanced mix of the contemporary,jazz and new musicfields that sit nicely together. Mostof all, it's great to hear Blake hasnot lost his sense of quirky self. Thenotes sound half-complete, thephrases seem to be cut mid-waybut this makes all the sense in theworld . Welcome back an old genius,who I hope is brave enough torecord more solo work in years tocome.

She is at her best in themore virtuosic works, Take Backthe Ring by Allen Rae and TheQueens of Alice by QuentenDoolittle.

The late Karl Bohm was long associated withthe Vienna Philhannonic Orchestra and happilyleft us many fine audio discs and now, as Unite! 'senormous catalogue oflive video perfonnancesis gradually becoming available on DVD, we willbe seeing more of Doctor Karl. DeutscheGrammophon has recently issued three DVDscontaining 13 Mozart symphonies, together witha few bonus items. Today it seems fashionable toplay down the elegance and humanity in Mozart'swriting in favour of streamlined precision,as ifmaking music were a mathematicalexercise. Bohm was of the old school butthere is nothing for today's viewers to fault inthe conductor's sensitivity to every nuance ofthe scores he knew so well or the orchestra'seminently polished perfonnances.These concerts which took place in Vienna'sMusikvereinssaal from 1969 to 1978 are in theregular TV picture ratio of 4:3 and while not inhigh definition are more than acceptable, even ona60 11 set. Surround sound adds a pleasant hallambience. Volume 1 (440 0734131) containssymphonies No. 29, 34, 35 , 40, and 41 , with theMinuet in C major, K.409. Volwne 2 (4400734132)contains the symphonies No. I (K.16),25, 31 , 36, and 38, together withEine KleineNachtmusik. Volume 3 (440 0734133) containssymphonies No.28, 33 and 39, and the Serena/aNollurna, K.239.From June 1973 Bohrn conducts an outstandingperfonnance of Schubert's Ninth, again withthe Vienna Philhannonic (EuroArts 2072108).The perfonnance is sumptuous;with Bohrn'sthrusting vitality there is never a dull moment.The picture quality of this Unite] production is asgood as any MGM production. The surroundsound, too, is full bodied, dynamic and completesan exemplary marriage of sight and sound. Onthe same disc is the Schubert Mass No.6, D950with soloists Peter Schreier, Werner Krenn andWalter Berry, The Vienna Sangerknaben, withthe Men's choir and orchestra of the Hofmuskkapellein Vienna. Recorded in the Hofburgkapelle,Bohrn conducts with gentle authorityand the eloquence and dedication of all concernedhold one's attention from the Kyrie to theclosingAgnus Dei. It is beautifully photographedand excellently recorded. This is a definitiveSchubert disc ifthere ever was one; certainly anessential cornerstone for even a modest collection.Another BohJn/Vienna Philhannonic DVDfrom EuroArts features one of the greatest pianistsofan earlier generation, Wilhelm Backhaus,playing the Beethoven Fourth Piano Conce1to(2072058). A perfect match of repertoire, soloistsand conductor makes this a valuable historicdocument. But with a difference: the video is extremelyfine, almost HDTV in definition, the coloursare full bodied, and the sound is crystalclear. The quality is probably due to the venue forthis production which was not in the Musikvereinbut made under ideal conditions in the StudioRosenhugel in Vienna. On the same disc is a satisfyinglyenergetic Brahms Second SymphonyOLD WINE IN NEW BOTTLESFine Old Recordings Re-Released by Bruce Surteesfrom the Musik-verein in 1970. The performanceis a very vigorous one with Dr. Karl moreanimated than usual, cutting and thrusting withauthority. However, there is an aspect of the productionwhich may be disconcerting to someviewers while others may not notice. The finishedproduct was assembled from several evenings'perfonnances and one sees that while the playingis perfectly in sync, sometimes they are a littleahead or behind of the video selected for shots ofthe conductor. No big deal.Leonard Bernstein was no stranger to the ViennaPhilhannonic and his CDs and DVDs withthem continue to find favour with critics and musiclovers around the world. DG has issued theSixth and Ninth symphonies by Shostakovich(440 073 4170). The Sixth is not the most popularof the symphonies, overshadowed by theenormously popular Fifth. But the opening movementof the Sixth is a 22 minute Largo which onemight justifiably claim to be of'heavenly length'.In addition to fervent perfonnances of the twosymphonies, Bernstein talks about each work,drawing the viewer's attention to significant passages,which certainly enhances a re-hearing.Incidentally, the production is directed by HwnphreyBurton, as usual a guarantee of excellentcamera work. Bernstein's last concerts with theVienna Philharmonic were from February 26through March 2 1990. From those concertsEuroArts has released theBruckner Ninth Symphony(2072018). Bernstein recordedonly two Brucknerworks, the Sixth and NinthSymphonies with the NewYork Philhannonic for Columbiaand another NinthSymphony on DG with the Vienna Philhannonictaken from these very same concerts. Bernsteinwould die a little over seven months later andalthough the distension of his chest due to hisacute emphysema can be clearly noticed, he wasstill in top form and conducted with his usual passionateene1gy. The performance has manyBernstein touches ... little retards, elongated passages,or notes held a little longer than usual. Thesecond movement is unforgettable: the openingscherzo is a totally unexpected powerhouse,played with grim detennination leading to a fleetfootedtrio and returning to the scherzo, now apositive juggernaut. Under Bernstein's baton,the final movement of Bruckner's unfinishedsymphony becomes a moving apotheosis andhomage to the composer. No complaints hereabout Humphrey Burton's direction or thesound of this great orchestra. This is a pricelessdocument of an appropriate and trulymoving farewell to the orchestra with whomhe had made such great music.·---j't----- -·Travel is more than just A to B.

DISCS OF THE MONTHYou Ask Me Why ... Tova sings BeyleTheresa TovaIndependent TE003Pashtes/Simplicity - Music to the Poetryof Simcha SimchovitchLenka Lichtenberg & Brian KatzSunflower Records/lndie Pool(www .lenkalichtenberg.com)This Autumnal season has brought the releaseof two deliciously melancholy like-spiritedrecordings, perfect for listening during theseincreasingly chilly nights. The first is multitalenteddiva Teresa Tova's musical homageto the noted 20th Century Yiddish composer,Beyle Schaechter-Gottseman, entitled "YouAsk Me Why -Tova Sings Beyle". Second isinternational Yiddish vocalist Lenka Lichtenbergand acoustic guitarist Brian Katz' "Pashtes/Simplicity- Music to the Poetry ofSimcha Simchovitch". Both recordings boastan "A-List" of guest artists, and in the caseof "You Ask Me Why", also the prodigiousproducing talents of the gifted John Alcorn.The Yiddish language dates back to the10th Century, and is a non-territorial dialecticform of German that is written in Hebraiccharacters . It is commonly spoken amongJewish peoples of Ashkenazi or Europeandescent. Although for many baby-boomers ofJewish descent, the language of the old countrywasn't passed down with any kind offluency, Yiddish language, literature, musicand visual arts are currently enjoying a massiveglobal renaissance, and both recordingshave contemporized traditional Yiddish formswith intriguing, surprising and deeply meaningfulresults."You Ask Me Why" has a strong andevocative jazz sensibility that is a perfectsetting for Theresa Tova's smoky contralto.Producer Alcorn (with help from Matt Herskowitz)has managed to squeeze just aboutevery possibility and nuance out of the simplemelodies. Notable are John MacLeod'sprovocative muted trumpet solo on The WinterEvening/Vinter-Ount juxtaposed againstMatt Herskowitz' sparse and harmonicallydissonant piano phrases that call to mind theThe World's Leading Classical Music Label!111111illIll111111111111111nm nm nm nm nmNAXOS1111111111 111111111111111OF CANADA LTD• Over 3, 000 titles• All digital recordings• New recordings and compositions monthly• Critical acclaim in a ll key classical publications• Featuring great Canadian artistsAll this at an astonishingly low price!..,!Ir ,.., I U..11-'.

DISCS OF THE MONTHnaked, dry branches of the winter trees beingslapped together by an unforgiving wind.Theresa Tova sings each compositionwith great feeling and moody dysphoria,capturing the intent of the lyric perfectly,rendering it unnecessary to understand Yiddishto experience this eclectic musical journey.The CD is enhanced by strong performancesfrom Jane Bunnett on flute, KellyJefferson on tenor saxophone, Artie Roth onbass, the always exceptional and versatileDaniel Barnes on drums and Brian Katz (oneand the same from "Pashtes") on acousticand electric guitars."Pashtes/Simplicity" is a delight. Praguebornvocalist Lenka Lichtenberg has a lovely,confectionary, gamin-like quality. Hersoprano voice sails above and around thenotes with perfect control, weaving a luminousmystical web. She is in the midst of anamazingly diverse career, including singingas a member of the wildly successful "Sistersof Sheynville" and also performing as acantor at various functions. Brian Katz has asumptuous guitar sound, full of facile runsand lush harmonics. The material on "Pashtes"has been composed entirely by Lichtenbergand arranged by Katz, who havebeen performing and collaborating togethersince 2001. Many of the plaintive melodieson "Pashtes" have an undercurrent of pulsingLatin rhythms that seem to work symbioticallywith the poetry of the iconic PolishbornYiddish poet, Simcha Simchovitch.Like Theresa Tova, Katz and Lichtenberghave surrounded themselves with local musiciansof the highest order, including theextraordinary George Koller on bass, ErnieToller on soprano sax, the dexterous AlanHetherington on a whole mess of multiethnicpercussion and the uber-talented SashaLuminsky on accordion. Although forgedfirmly in the tradition, this recording has avery contemporary feel that will leave youuplifted and spiritually refreshed - just likea great piece of strudel and a "glass tea " .Lesley Mitchell-ClarkeShostakovich - String Quartets 3, 7 & 8St. Lawrence String QuartetEMI 3 59956 2Though Shostakovich came to the string quartetmedium relatively late in his career(1938) the resulting cycle of fifteen quartetsproved to be as astounding and powerful ashis corresponding number of symphonies.Unrestrained and intimate, the quartets forma harrowing mirror of the unimaginable tragediesand upheavals of Soviet culture in astate of continual crisis.The strong narrative element of thesehyper emotional scores is made explicit in thesuppressed sub-titles of the Third Quartet,composed in 1946 under the shadow of yetanother onslaught of Stalinist purges. TheSeventh and Eighth quartets both date from1960. The Seventh, the shortest of Shostakovich'squartets, is ostensibly an abstract work,though its often eerie quality and a veiledallusion to the composer's Fifth Symphony (atheme which moreover recurs in the Eighthquartet) suggest otherwise. The magnificentEighth, composed in an astounding three daysin the still devastated city of Dresden, is ashattering reflection on the Second WorldWar and is replete with coded autobiographicalelements, including the composer' s musicalsignature on the notes DSCH (D , E-flat,C, B).The St Lawrence Quartet's performancesare consistently powerful, tonally variegated,and impeccably moulded. The intensity ofthe playing is consistently persuasive, attimes rivalling the violent, gun-to-one's-headdesperation of the classic Borodin quartetrecordings of these works. The recordedsound is excellent throughout.Daniel FoleyConcert notes: Music Toronto presents theSt. Lawrence Quartet with pianist Wu Hanand cellist David Finckel in music by Shostakovich,Jonathan Berger and Anton Arenskyon November 28 and the Vermeer Quartetperforming Shostakovich's String QuartetNo. 8 on December 8.
