by RICHARD TURP

Canadian tenor Jon Vickers passed away at age 88 in July 2015after a battle with Alzheimerrsquos For many Jon Vickers remainsthe defining dramatic tenor of his generation In the dramatictenor roles that demand the most power and endurance he hadfew rivals

Vickers brought to each operatic incarnation a characterisation thatwas as personal as his vocal production was unique Moreover duringhis long career of over thirty years he was often at the centre of contro-versies both personal and professional because he never hesitated to express convictions that many found rigid and inflexible even shocking

Born in Prince Albert Saskatchewan in 1926 he studied voice part-time and sang at the local church all while holding a variety of jobsIn 1950 he won a scholarship that allowed him to study at TorontorsquosRoyal Conservatory of Music with George Lambert He made what heconsidered to be his professional debut on stage in 1954 in the role ofthe Duke of Mantua in Verdirsquos Rigoletto at the Toronto Opera Festi-val (which later became the Canadian Opera Company)

As was the case for many Canadian singers of the era Vickerswas discovered by Sir David Webster who signed him up for a contract with the prestigious Royal Opera House Covent Gardenin London In 1957 for his first season he sang Don Joseacute inBizetrsquos Carmen Riccardo in Verdirsquos Un Ballo in Maschera andAeneas in Berliozrsquos epic opera Les Troyens

London became his artistic base but he quickly made house debuts with all of the great opera companies of the word including Bayreuth (1958) and Viennarsquos Staatsoper (1959)where he sang the role of Siegmund in Wagnerrsquos DieWalkuumlre In 1960 he sang for the first time at the Metro-politan Opera ndash where he subsequently performed around 280 timesThe same year marked his debut at Milanrsquos renowned Teatro alla Scala(Fidelio under Karajan) and at Chicagorsquos Lyric Opera Paris andSalzburg followed and his international career evolved at a steady pace

until his retirementVocally Vickers was a young

dramatic tenor when he arrived inLondon The power and breadth ofhis voice was both the glory and oneof the defining dimensions of his artThe timbre of his voice was instantly recognizable and the voice wasgraced with a natural resonancegreat projection and impressivedepth Vocally he was always considered a diamond in the roughAs indicated by a memorable profile

his ample emission was almost muscular and apparently indefatigablewith a voice ldquomarked and scarred as if it came from a Canadianquarryrdquo

His vocal personality was indeed one of robust power which thoughit communicated emotion was neither impeccably smooth nor par-ticularly refined However his idiosyncratic and unorthodox techniqueremained intact throughout his career and never ceased to serve hisperformances well Vickers knew how to take big risks in performingfamiliar roles such as Radamegraves in Aida And Vickers was the first toadmit that while he took risks giving his all he risked making hissinging less controlled more unstable and without great beauty

Nevertheless Vickers remained unshakable incapable of alteringthe text for a purely vocal effect This philosophy went back to his verystrict Christian upbringing where hymns and prayers were reveredAfter he retired from opera in 1987 he returned to the stage in the2000s as the narrator of several fascinating presentations of Tennysonrsquos epic poem Enoch Arden set to the music of RichardStrauss According to many critics the power of his voice remainedintact ldquoHe speaks the way he singsrdquo wrote one critic ldquoWith a mix ofdelicacy and raw powerrdquo

Vickers identified intensely with the characters he interpreted especially the misfits and the marginalized like Peter Grimes and withpsychologically tortured heroes like Otello in Verdirsquos masterpiece or

Canio in Leoncavallorsquos I Pagliacci Vickers effectively lent a white-hotintensity to each of his roles From time to time the intensity was almost exaggerated and stylistically inappropriate as was often thecase when he ventured into the French repertoire and especially in theroles of Samson and Don Joseacute where Vickersrsquos performances as powerful and engaged as they were where stylistically opposed to theintentions of Saint-Saeumlns and Bizet In a quest to identify with each ofthe characters that he approached Vickers tended to place himselfahead of the music This in addition to his than less idiomatic singingin French gave rise to what is certainly a conception of the two rolesthat left a deeply personal but fundamentally flawed conception ofboth roles

Vickers had much more success with Handelrsquos Samson in whichthough his vocal and stylistic approach seemed anachronistic to manypurists the spiritual and vocal power as well as the strong character hedisplayed brushed all possible reserves aside His portrayal of HandelrsquosSamson at Covent Garden in 1958 was a searingly dramatic perform-ance And a generation later even though his voice coped less easilywith the taxing florid line he was now able to more directly depict theagony of the biblical heroes who in Vickersrsquos words ldquohad lost faith notjust in a religious sense but in the sense that they had betrayed whatthey stood forrdquo It was above all Vickersrsquos capacity to portray moral rectitude with a unique lucidity that was striking

Here as in most roles he undertook much of his histrionic and dramatic conviction resided in his ability (and courage) to sing softlyVickersrsquos range both of colour and dynamics was often breathtakingDuring his career his soft singing was often dismissed as ldquocrooningrdquoor falsetto but it often was rather an enveloping fully supportedsound seeming to come from all around the theatre Here again someregarded his sudden adoption of a falsetto-like opaque vocal colouras a vocal and dramatic mannerism yet by sheer will and volitionVickers could entice and ultimately convince in a range of interpreta-tions from Nerone in Monteverdis Lincoronazione di Poppea at theParis Opeacutera to Wagnerrsquos Tristan and Parsifal

THE DARK SIDEVickers was also uncompromising unforgiving and unrepentant in hismoral rectitude and in his attitude towards homosexuals and and towhat he considered to be the degeneration of western moral valuesMany critics accused him of being virulently homophobic but his defenders insisted that he was simply hostile to what he saw as a real

ldquogay mafiardquo which he believed dominated the world of opera In thetheatre too Vickers oftengave the impression thateveryone ndash the cast theconductor even the audience ndash had to live up tohis strict standards Vickersmost famously admonishedthe audience in Dallas in1975 when as the dyingTristan he turned towardthe audience and shouted

ldquoShut up with your damnedcoughingrdquo

There are many auth -entic stories of Vickers bullying staff at varioustheatres and even his colleagues In 1986 whenthe Met production ofHandelrsquos dramatic oratorioSamson travelled toChicagorsquos Lyric OperaVickers insulted conductorJulius Rudel during a rehearsal in front of the en-tire cast and orchestra tothe point where Rudel of-

fered to quit However in interviews Vickers often spoke of the waythat his rural roots and his Presbyterian and Methodist backgroundhad shaped his life philosophy

ldquoThe understanding which slowly and surely developed in me ofthe necessity of human contact and an understanding of the needs ofothers and their problems has probably more than anything elsegiven me the ability to analyze my roles to come to grips with a scoreto study a drama to project my feelings into the life of someone Irsquovenever met except on a piece of paperrdquo

In person Vickers was a sometimes paradoxical being volatile andenigmatic He was often warm and charming and in many ways decent and understanding but he could be short-tempered and quickto deride any perceived insult

In 1961 he crossed swords with conductor Georg Solti at Covent Garden claiming that Solti had bullied and insulted him during rehearsals for Die Walkuumlre Then in 1977 he surprised the opera worldwith his decision to withdraw from what would have been his role debutin two productions of Tannhaumluser at the Met in New York and at CoventGarden again raisingmoral questions to justify his decisionVickers saw Wagnerrsquosopera as blasphemouscalling it ldquoan attempt tostrike at the very rootof the Christian faithrdquoand adding that ldquoWagner challengedthe redemptive work ofJesus Christrdquo Certaindetractors suggestedthat it was rather thatthe vocal range and tessitura of the work had proved too difficult for him

The controversy that was probably the most revealing with regards to Vickersrsquos personality was that involving composer Benjamin Britten and his companion Peter Pears Pears createdthe title role of Brittenrsquos Peter Grimes in 1946 and both men considered the theme of the opera to be that of the struggle of theindividual against the masses For many the opera depicted thepersecution of Grimes as a metaphor for the oppression of homo-sexuals Vickers clearly rejected such an interpretation For himPeter Grimes was a study in ldquothe psychology of human rejectionrdquoand his performance followed this idea all the way through whichexasperated and dismayed Britten and Pears During performancesVickersrsquos Grimes would be lost in reverie one moment then exploding with brutality shortly after This harrowing portrayal ofGrimes coupled with Vickersrsquos formidable singing changed audi-encesrsquo perception of the role When the production travelled toParis a critic wrote of Vickersrsquos performance saying ldquoHis voice isa long lament a wail the cry of a savage beast a drunken song ofbeauty and distress that soars above the panicked crowdrdquo

During an address at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto in1969 Vickers declared ldquoI sing because I have tordquo Singing he explained is ldquoan absolute necessity fulfilling some kind of emotionaland even perhaps physical need in merdquo

Vickers always maintained that art should appeal to the intellect aswell as the senses and not just the latter For him art involved goingwell beyond singing The same spiritual beliefs that led him to be nick-named ldquoGodrsquos tenorrdquo were at the heart of everything that he did

As a catalogue of performances now available on CD and DVDamply demonstrate for more than thirty years Jon Vickers transcended the merely melodramatic and left an indelible markon every role he performed and on every member of he public whoexperienced his art

CHARLESRICHARD-HAMELINCHOPIN ADVENTURE

by CAROLINE RODGERS

We donrsquot often have a chance to witness the birth of an interna-tional career Yet this is what we saw unfolding last month asCanadian pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin progressedthrough the rounds of the 17th International Freacutedeacuteric ChopinPiano Competition to win the silver medal

The 26-year-old native of Joliette is the first Canadian pianist tofinish in the top three of the Chopin one of the most prestigious pianocompetitions in the world a list including the Queen Elizabeth in Bel-gium the Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow and theCliburn in the US

Itrsquos already an accomplishment to be selected to compete at the ChopinCompetition which since 1927 has been taking place every five years Forthe 2015 edition 78 candidates from 20 countries participated in the com-petition selected from more than 450 pianists who had sent in performancevideos before December 2014 In April 160 were chosen for preselection

After watching the performance of several of his rivals on the Inter-net Richard-Hamelin knew he had the necessary level to go far But hecertainly did not imagine he would finish second He says ldquoI was stillconfident of making the finals but when I entered for the first time intothe mythical room to try the competition pianos my confidence saggedI told myself Irsquod be happy if I managed to pass the first roundrdquo

Thanks to the Internet audiences could see and hear him play dur-ing each round After listening to his magnificent interpretation of theSonata No 3 in B minor op 58 we were convinced that he wouldmake the finals This sonata also garnered him the Krystian Zimer-man Prize Just after playing the young pianist was happy with hisperformance but the results exceeded his wildest dreams At the sametime he appreciated the fact that hundreds supported him throughthe many messages he received on his Facebook page These encour-agements have done him good and helped him stay focused becauseeven though hersquos used to competitions he found the Chopin whichhe said would be his last very stressful

For the finals ten candidates competed Two were from Canada (in-cluding Torontorsquos Yike [Tony] Yang 16) two from the United States

plus representatives from Croatia Russia Latvia Japan South Koreaand Poland As luck would have it Richard-Hamelin was the only contestant to play the Chopin Concerto No 2 the other nine candi-dates chose the first

All rounds of the competition were taken into account in determin-ing the winners but the semi-final hour-long recital was given themost points Once the competition ended the Chopin Competition revealed the scores given to each participant by all of the judges Interestingly in the first three rounds all of them voted for who wouldproceed to the next round The score gap was quite thin betweenCharles Richard-Hamelin and the eventual winner 21-year-old SouthKorean Seong-Jin Cho who had already won first prize in the Japanese Hamamatsu Piano Competition at 15 and finished third inthe 2011 Tchaikovsky Competition at 18

PLAYING CHOPINldquoTo play Chopin one must be able to sing at the piano to play legatordquosays Richard-Hamelin ldquoWith Chopin the musical lines are long Wemust be sensitive to the harmonies and harmonic colours for Chopinafter the melodies this is whatrsquos most important You also need a sensitive touch to the colours of the piano and to the variety of soundsthat you can make And finally we must integrate the text to the pointof not thinking about it so that in the end we only tell a story This iswhat guides merdquo

The great pianists of the past also guided him on disc First DinuLipatti a Romanian like his first piano teacher of 15 years Paul Surdulescu And also naturally the inevitable Arthur Rubinstein

ldquoWhen I need inspiration when Irsquom out of ideas I listen to thesepianistsrdquo said Richard-Hamelin ldquoRubinstein has the secret I learnso much with his rubato Nobody has as refined and natural a rubatoIt is paradoxical to say this but he has a way of playing that leads usto believe that this is the only way you should play Chopin as if hewere the only one who can do it as he does His playing is never pretentious itrsquos always heartfeltrdquo

Besides Paul Surdulescu Richard-Hamelin studied with RichardRaymond Sara Laimon and Boris Berman A graduate of McGill andthe Yale School of Music he is currently studying with Andreacute Laplanteat the Conservatoire de musique de Montreacuteal In preparation for theChopin Competition he also benefited from the advice of JeanSaulnier and Janina Fialkowska

THE COMPETITIONThe international jury of the 17th Chopin Competition consisted of 17judges including Martha Argerich Dmitri Alexeev Dang Thai SonPhilippe Entremont Yundi Li and Garrick Ohlsson

Last summer Richard-Hamelin played the works of his recital program several times which he believes greatly helped him In Mayhe recorded a Chopin program similar to the one he played in the competition including that famous Sonata in B minor op 58 ndash a lead-ing romantic sonata he said The album was recorded on Analekta atDomaine Forgetrsquos Franccediloys-Bernier Hall

One can say without exaggerating that Richard-Hamelin was oneof the audience favourites in Warsaw This could be confirmed by reading the favourable reviews punctuating the showing of his performances on YouTube In the hall he was warmly applaudedEven before being chosen for the final he received offers for concertsin Poland

Annick-Patricia Carriegravere his agent at Blue Station flew to join himin Warsaw for the final his parents did the same The Polesrsquo passion forChopinrsquos music and the competition really impressed Carriegravere ldquoAfterthe competition during the three concerts where the top six played allthe tickets were sold outrdquo she said ldquoThe competition had kept sometickets to sell each night and people started to line up at least one hourbefore the concert It is a public of all ages itrsquos beautiful to see Peoplelisten with reverence and great intensity There were few standing ovations but Charles had one People stopped him on the street to talkto him I had never seen that It makes a lasting impressionrdquo

The musical culture in Poland doesnrsquot compare with ours she observed ldquoWe sensed an incredible affection from the public in thehall towards the competitorsrdquo She adds ldquoWe havenrsquot experienced suchengagement in Canada At the end even the security guard asked thetop six to sign his programrdquo

With so many fans of the piano in the homeland of the composerwhich has over forty symphony orchestras it shouldnrsquot be a surpriseto learn that Richard-Hamelin will soon return to Poland to give fiveconcerts from 9 to 20 November He even had to change the date ofhis return to Queacutebec as two concerts on 25 and 26 October wereadded for the winners All tickets had already been sold

ldquoOn site watching these young pianists were representatives fromrecord companies festival directors and concert presentersrdquo says Carriegravere ldquoMoreover Japan Arts organizes a tour of the top six in Asiawith seven concerts in Japan including two in Tokyo and another inSeoul South Korea Opportunities for Europe in late 2016 are alreadyon the tablerdquo

Soon wersquoll be able to hear Charles Richard-Hamelin in recital at theSalle Pierre-Mercure on November 26

IRVING GUTTMAN AND HIS LEGACY

It is difficult to overestimate theimportance of Irving Guttmanto the history of opera inCanada His death in December2014 brought those accom-

plishments and his legacy intosharper focus Today all ofCanadarsquos major cities have operacompanies and more than a handful of them owe their very existence to Irving Guttman

Born in Chatham Ontario Irving Guttman was raised inBlackville New Brunswick beforesettling as a teenager in Montreacuteala cosmopolitan city that could givehis artistic and musical leanings

direction and focus After studying singing acting oboe piano conducting and stage direction at Torontorsquos Royal Conservatory ofMusic he became an assistant to Herman Geiger-Torel at the Canadian Opera Companyrsquos forerunner the Opera Festival and as-sistant stage director at the New Orleans Opera His official directorialdebut was in 1953 in Cornwall Ontario with Menottirsquos The Consul ina cast that included the young Maureen Forrester

Irving Guttman was in at the beginning of televised opera in CanadaIn 1953 he returned to Montreacuteal and upon the recommendation ofthe legendary soprano Pauline Donald (who ran the Montreacuteal OperaGuild) he directed a complete Faust the first of some 65 operatic programs for CBCSRC TV over the next six years including manycomplete operas for ldquoLrsquoHeure du concertConcert Hourrdquo It was duringone of these programs that he worked with my father the tenor AndreacuteTurp on excerpts from Massenetrsquos Manon with bass-baritone DenisHarbour

Montreacuteal remained at the centre of his activities in 1956 he directedLe Nozze di Figaro for the Festival de Montreacuteal before directing sevenproductions of six operas between 1963 and 1969 for the Opera Guildof Montreacuteal He also directed Faust during Expo lsquo67 His CanadianOpera Company debut La Traviata in 1964 led to seven productionsfor that company by 1975

One of the defining moments of his life occurred in 1960 whenGuttman became founding Artistic Director (1960-74) of VancouverOpera which put the city on the map in the international opera community As he said in an interview ldquoThe more I thought about it

the more I liked the idea ofbuilding an opera companyfrom scratch It seemed likesuch a great chance to expandCanadarsquos artistic horizonsrdquoGuttman quickly demon-strated his vocal instinct andacumen in engaging DameJoan Sutherland and MarilynHorne for their first Canadianappearances in BellinirsquosNorma performances thathave attained somewhat of alegendary status in the annalsof Canadarsquos operatic history

Following VancouverOperarsquos lead EdmontonOpera named Guttman

Artistic Director in 1965 a position he retained until 1991 when theIrving Guttmann Young Artist Fund was established He became Artistic Director of the Manitoba Opera Association in 1977 althoughhis association with the company dates from its first production in1973 In 1991 Guttman became Artistic Director of SaskatchewanOpera where he remained until 2001 while also working as artisticadvisor to Calgary Opera from 1998-2001 Little wonder then that hewas widely known as ldquothe father of opera in Western Canadardquo

All the while Guttman worked throughout Canada the US and Europe as a stage director

Another defining dimension of the man was his work with youngsingers His influence and mentoring of more than a generation ofCanadian singers was fundamentally important ndash to him as much asto the artists involved and the opera companies that benefited fromGuttmanrsquos innate vocal knowledge In 1974 he was appointed head ofthe opera school at the Courtenay Youth Music Centre and worked forlrsquoAtelier lyrique at lrsquoOpeacutera de Montreacuteal In his later years Guttmanwas heavily involved with the opera program at the University of BCand a rehearsal hall was named in his honour at the schoolrsquos Old Auditorium

As his partner of 45 years Robert Dales put it ldquoHe was a verypassionate man very dedicated to his art form and he was giftedwith a very unique instinct His great gift to the opera world washis ear for voices He instinctively would cast an entire productionwith the right voices for the right roles that would create magic onthe stagerdquo As well as directing international operatic stars Guttmanfostered the careers of such Canadian singing legends as MaureenForrester Judith Forst Richard Margison Victor Braun ErmannoMauro and Claude Corbeil ndash especially in repertoire that helpedthem evolve as singing artists In the social arena Guttman co-founded the AIDS and cancer charity Friends for Life in 1992 Hereceived a horde of official honours for his work for opera and its artisans in Canada

At a time when the operatic industry in Canada and its infrastructure is under considerable pressure ndash especially from financial cutbacks and the erosion of its audience base associatedwith the ldquoopera in the cinemardquo phenomenon it is important to recall Guttmanrsquos own words ldquoThroughout my career I have believed so deeply in opera and its great power in the careers ofthe young singers I mentored over the years and in that magicwhich occurs when the curtain goes up I feel it is always worth thestruggle and the work and will always be worth it This more thananything else gives me the strength to overcome any fears weak-nesses or uncertainties I may have about my own part in theprocessrdquo As his partner Robert Dales explained ldquoHis whole life wasopera he lived and breathed itrdquo

Such humility is admirable but what is espe-cially important isGuttmanrsquos vision and deter-mination which helpedbuild an operatic networkthroughout Canada His efforts and his life shouldserve as an example to current and future adminis-trators and politicians It isthe least his accomplish-ments deserve LSM

They say bad news always comes in threesIf thatrsquos true Ottawarsquos classical musiccommunity has every reason to be jitteryafter two tough blows in as many weeksThe first shocker came on October 14

when Opera Lyra announced it was ceasing operations just after the start of its 31st sea-son and three days before the scheduled open-ing of Etiquette and Regina the contemporarydouble bill from Torontorsquos Essential OperaThe news was so sudden that at least onesinger en route from Toronto for rehearsalsonly found out by text after the story hit themedia In its news release Opera Lyra blamedlow ticket sales and declining donations for itsldquounsustainable deficitrdquo

Then on October 25 the Ottawa Singers ndasha newcomer on the cityrsquos amateur choralscene ndash said it was cancelling a performance ofPaul McCartneyrsquos Liverpool Oratorio involv-ing more than 200 musicians and singerswhich had been planned for November 9 The organization also cited a poor box office as thereason for its decision (sources say only about300 tickets had been sold for the 2000-plusseat Southam Hall)

Not surprisingly the cancellations pro-voked much beating of chests and gnashing ofteeth on social media with people expressing concern for the future of the arts in the Na-

tional Capital Region But while therersquos nodoubt these events constitute a wake-up callit is arts presenters not arts supporters whoshould heed the alarm

Itrsquos time to ask tough questions about whatkind of music institutions Ottawa ndash the cityand its residents not the federal govern-ment ndash can and should be supporting

Ottawa likes to think of itself as being onequal footing with Montreacuteal or Toronto but itsimply doesnrsquot have the population base toback up that claim More importantly as agovernment town we donrsquot have the corporateheadquarters and related CEO class thattranslate into a reliable donor base This pointis especially important as itrsquos always been no-toriously difficult for local Ottawa organiza-tions to access federal funding

There are other challenges The NAC iscostly and tricky for scheduling itrsquos true Ot-tawa desperately needs a more modest buthigh-quality concert venue that local groupscan book without having to compete for dateswith the NAC Orchestra English and French theatre and dance series

At the same time organizations are too eas-ily tempted by Southam Hallrsquos prestige even ifitrsquos beyond their means or any achievableticket sale target This is likely what happenedwith the Liverpool Oratorio (which had al-ready been postponed from its original showdate last year) A realistic analysis should have

nudged the presenters toward a more reason-able venue even if it meant reducing the sizeof the ensemble

In the case of Opera Lyra questionable de-cisions by management didnrsquot help the com-pany which it will be remembered alsosuspended operations during its 2011-12 sea-son First itrsquos a mystery why the season wasdoubled from two productions to four withoutfirst securing stable sustainable funding Itseems as though too many eggs were placedin the ticket sales basket when Barber ofSevillersquos numbers fell short ndash something obvi-ous on opening night ndash panic ensued

Second an arts organization that doesnrsquot re-flect its community is doomed Opera Lyrarsquosboard has been woefully lacking in diversityJust for starters there were no singers or musicians represented in the symphonicworld itrsquos been demonstrated that orchestraswhose boards include musicians function better are in better shape financially have happier employees and fewer conflicts Furthermore the face of Ottawa has changeddramatically in the last 15 years but yoursquodnever know it by looking at the administra-tion board membership and volunteers ofmany arts organizations around town

Opera Lyra has also been investing heavilyin youth young casts and younger audiencesBut that tactic seems to have backfired twentysomethings who buy a pair of tickets foran elegant date night arenrsquot translating intodonors And up-and-comer casts may becheaper but unless they have a hometownconnection they arenrsquot going to fill seats theway more established and better-knownsingers can

More details about both Opera Lyra and theLiverpool Oratorio project will undoubtedlysurface over the coming weeks While we needto figure out what happened we should also beasking ldquoWhatrsquos nextrdquo

Canada is in a recession In lean times itrsquossurvival of the fittest and the sobering newsof the past two weeks is providing Ottawa withthe opportunity to take a hard unflinchinglook at the fitness ndash internal and external ndash ofour classical music community Question thetyranny of the traditional opera season formatand whether bigger is always better Questionthe status quo in board composition and lead-ership Question whether we want to continueto measure success purely by quantity or byquality and longer-term sustainability as welland whether we are willing to sacrifice someof the first for more of the second

THE MAGICOF VIENNA

Someone once told me that when we leavea place that has a special meaning it isbetter to only come back at least 10 yearslater in order to find that particular placepure and unchanged I have followed

this advice very carefully and just returned toVienna after living in that city from 2001 to2005 Ten years later I found this magnifi-cent town almost intact with its old tramwaycars and its amazing landmarks

A few weeks ago I recorded my 25th CD asguest soloist and conductor of the WienerSymphoniker (Vienna Symphony Orchestra)one of the most prestigious orchestras in theworld The moment I lived in this imperialcity a few days ago had nothing to do with thegeneral emotion I felt in this music capital adecade ago The city I found was full of magicand dreams and a refreshing feeling wasfloating in the air all very different than whatI had experienced in the years 2000 when Ithought that place was more linked to auster-ity and conservatism This time I was in aplace that felt like the last place on earthwhere music and culture in general inundatethe space and grow inside everybody whosefeet touch the same streets and roads as didthose of many geniuses like MozartBeethoven and Schubert It is definitely amagical city for musicians

The corner stone of the Viennese musicalstyle one of the pillars of my academic pathis a unique sound philosophy that should be-long to every musicianrsquos cultural and musicalarsenal The attack of each note is never ag-gressive without being weak I have always

tried to explain this philosophy to my stu-dents and I was truly touched to find it inevery single musician of the Vienna Sym-phony Spontaneously I could not refrainfrom taking a few moments during the record-ing to thank them for this incredible soundwarmth which will make this album into atrue treasure I canrsquot believe it took me solong close to a decade to find once more thisparticular sound that soothes the soul per-haps the absolute summit of musical culture

Being strongly influenced by the Vienneseculture it is as Stehgeiger (ldquoThe Standing-Vi-olinistrdquo) that I decided to do this project Thisconcept of both a soloist and a conductorcombined is very Viennese and follows thesteps and traditions of composers such asMozart and Johann Strauss I feel very com-fortable in this role for a certain repertoireand it was a true delight to work in this waywith the Vienna Symphony I was able to getthe musical result that I was looking forthanks to the sensitivity of the musicians whoall agreed to treat this recording as a noblechamber music project None of them ldquofol-lowedrdquo me we all played together to the gloryof the great music we love

Their interest in every single musical detailduring the sessions was absolutely remark-able At every moment each musician wasgiving his or her maximum and showed atrue desire to serve music in the best possibleway Nobody was there to just ldquodo their jobrdquothey were there to fully live their passion andthe lifestyle they chose On their faces I couldread joy see sincere smiles and fiery eyes

Vienna is a place where music is an integralpart of everyday life and where past presentand future are full of a culture that is simplyvital to us I will be back there in a fewmonths for a concert at the ViennaMusikverein with the Vienna Symphony andwill go on tour with that same orchestra in2016-17 in Europe and Asia I will not missthis opportunity to get inspired by the power-ful fire that lives in most musicians of this city

My goal with this recording is to share thatmarvellous Viennese feeling with all types ofaudiences from music lovers and amateurs topurists and connoisseurs I wanted to put to-gether the best of what classical music has tooffer the sound and musicians of this en-lightened city of music a repertoire that pres-ents the most beautiful melodies fromamazing operas through fantasies and adap-tations from violinists of the past century likeAuer Sarasate and Wilhelmj and my mostintense passion and ardour I also played onone of the most beautiful Stradivarius in theworld the ldquoDi Barbarordquo of 1727 which wasloaned to me by the Canimex company Ithink those are the best ingredients to offerthe most tasty and musical Viennese ldquoSacherTorterdquo refined sweet characteristic andunique

When Andrew Gray first arrived in Montreacuteal from Switzerlandin 2010 Michael Zaugg founder and then artistic director ofthe Voces Boreales and the Montreacuteal Choral Institute en-couraged him to share his vast experience in choir andsinging and Gray joined the ensemble Now only five years

later Gray is living his choral dream as the artistic director of that verysame ensemble and organization and he has also taken the helm of theChœur des enfants de Montreacuteal and SingMontreacutealChante

EARLY BEGINNINGSBorn in England Gray began his musical training early singing in hisfatherrsquos choir He was surrounded by music his father was a churchmusician and a professor at a music college and his mother was amusic teacher ldquoOne of my earliest memories is of my dad playing ScottJoplin on the piano and my little sister who was smaller than the din-ing table running around singing and clapping alongrdquo he recalls Atthe age of six Gray auditioned for the choir at Durham Cathedral andbid farewell to his family to pursue the life of a resident chorister

ldquoMusic became my life without my really knowing or recognizingitrdquo Gray explains ldquoIt has become something much deeper inside ofme than a hobby Itrsquos a place I am very comfortable in where I can bemyself and where ideas come naturallyrdquo

Before coming to Montreacuteal Gray was an accomplished singer tour-ing internationally from Japan to Singapore in Europe and in Amer-ica Itrsquos been almost 35 years since his musical journey beganencompassing many different genres As a member of the SwingleSingers he dipped into all types of repertoire ndash jazz pop classical tocontemporary opera ndash an experience which later prompted him towork with many distinguished musicians in the field most notablyGregory Charles Sarah McLachlan Cœur de Pirate Les Trois Accordsand Malajube He has also prepared choirs for Alain Trudel KentNagano Zubin Mehta and Steacutephane Laforest

As chorus master and conductor Gray sees around 250 people dur-ing his 60-70-hour work week Still his enthusiasm and energy areinvigorating especially when it comes to a new project SingMon-treacutealChante

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITYSingMontreacutealChante is an independent project linked to the MontreacutealChœur des enfants also conducted by Andrew Gray Former conduc-tor Iwan Edwards had been passionate about youth and giving themthe opportunity to learn music a sentiment that Gray also shares

SingMontreacutealChante channels Grayrsquos passion to share music with

disadvantaged youth Over the course of four months more than 150children will participate in this project aimed at those who would notordinarily have access to the arts Music teachers are sent to partici-pating schools to teach the same repertoire and all the children willgather for a grand concert in December complete with orchestrashowcasing the power and unity of choral music ldquoItrsquos about givingthem an experience of live musicrdquo Gray affirms ldquoFor the kids doingmusic regularly is wide-reaching and profound it can be life chang-ingrdquo For Gray a childhood without music is unimaginable ldquoSingingis a fundamental part of being a kidrdquo

Education and access to the arts are a big part of Grayrsquos philosophyBy working with impoverished children and youth who would not nec-essarily be in contact with the arts he sees the front line impact ofmusic Recently he met with a parent whose child had made tremen-dous progress over the year The child had previously displayed prob-lematic behaviour in a choir setting Gray remarks ldquoThis year itrsquos likeday and night he puts up his hand to ask questions and sings with theothersrdquo

ldquoI see what good singing does to peoplerdquo says Gray ldquoItrsquos muchdeeper than just the pleasure of singingrdquo

VOCES BOREALES amp THE MONTREAL CHORAL INSTITUTEGrayrsquos new appointment as the artistic director of the Montreacuteal ChoralInstitute and the 30-singer ensemble Voces Boreales has him buzzingwith excitement at new directions and new opportunities Even so hevows to respect the tradition of the contemporary a cappella choir andthe repertoire it has been known for singing pieces by composers fromScandinavia the Baltics and North America ldquoThere are certainly waysto expand upon itrdquo Gray enthuses citing the Islandic repertoire

Grayrsquos wealth of experience from jazz and pop music to contempo-rary classical romantic baroque and renaissance could be a turningpoint for the ensemble However he states that he ldquokeeps in mind thatVoces Boreales is a classically trained choirrdquo

The public can expect Andrew Gray to think outside the box try dif-ferent things while at the same time stimulating the audience andchallenging the singers A few commissions may also be in the worksAs Gray states ldquoWe cannot claim to be championing this type of musicwhen we do not work with composersrdquo

ANDREW GRAYrsquoS ADVICE FOR UP-AND-COMING CONDUCTORSBe preparedto be flexibleto adapt and look around the room and connect with the singersto be a guide (choir conducting is a two-way process donrsquot be a dic-

tator ndash by working as a team and by getting the choir to invest inthemselves and giving their 110)

Stay humble (There will always be someone in the choir who knowssomething that you donrsquot)

ARTS-BUSINESS AWARD

Imagine a restaurant that hires young artists to help them makeends meet until their careers take off and that provides flexiblehours to accommodate these rising actors singers and musiciansWell such an understanding employer actually exists Itrsquos restaurant Tampopo recipient of the 2015 Arts-Business Award in

the SME category in recognition of its artistsrsquo support program ldquoOur aim and mission is to help artists find their feetrdquo says Francis

Larose general manager and co-owner of the Asian noodle restaurantin the Plateau Mont-Royal ldquoWe help them in different ways We support SMEs in the arts and the support is flexible depending ontheir needsrdquo

The help can take the form of a job as part of the Wok rsquonrsquo Progressinitiative

ldquoThey can have flexible hours to work around their performancetimes for example So they get a regular incomerdquo says Larose ldquoBut wecan also use our visibility to promote their artistic endeavours by organizing events for themrdquo

In the restaurant these young artists can be wait staff cooks managers dishwashers ndash anything yoursquod expect there About 60 ofTampopo staff are artists Among the well-known names of those thathave taken part is Meacutelanie Boulay of the Boulay Sisters duo

The project that won Tampopo the Arts-Business Award was for thetheatre troupe Les Productions Quitte ou Double with its play LeDragon drsquoor by German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig Performed at the Theacuteacirctre Prospeacutero in April 2014 it is set in an Asianrestaurant called Dragon drsquoor

Actors and audience members ate actual food prepared and delivered by Tampopo creating the very realistic experience intendedby the artistic director In total thirty meals were prepared over thecourse of fifteen performances

ldquoWe invested a lot of time and moneyrdquo comments Larose ldquoFor theplay we had to deliver the food make a financial outlay and do promotional workrdquo

Tampopo has been in existence for seventeen years ldquoOur missionhas always been to help artistsrdquo says Larose ldquobecause four of the former ownerrsquos children are well-known performers in the Queacutebec theatre Four years ago we made it official and now wersquore workingmore closely with artists for the financing of their projects To datewersquove helped around fifty artistsrdquo

Tampopo also hires a lot of new immigrants especially Asians tohelp them gain a foothold in the Quebec labour market

For Francis the motivation stems from a humanist vision of his roleas a businessman

ldquoQuite apart from hiring artists and new immigrants the whole culture of our restaurant is people-oriented Itrsquos important that peoplebe happy working with us The priority is to be part of a team to bepart of a family Since the restaurant opened it has valued the socialand human aspects of its workrdquo he explains

with me since the start of this season Asoften as possible I choose people who forwhatever reason are not dedicated musiclovers These people rarely or never go toconcerts One of them does not attend because he cannot afford a ticket anotherhas time constraints but can see a concertupon invitation and yet another is afraid ofbeing bored ndash and the list goes on

Among my list of likely guests I includepeople of all ages and occupations carefully choosing concerts that are likelyto interest them My initiative has hadsome positive outcomes including somevery special and unforgettable momentsImpressed with Respighirsquos Pini di Romaperformed during the OSMrsquos ClassicalSpree a young factory technician still talksenthusiastically about it several months

later He wanted to repeat the experienceby taking me to see a chamber musicrecital at Montreacutealrsquos Bourgie Hall

Even with modest means anyone can shareconcert information You can invite a friendto one of the many free or low-cost concertspresented by music faculties and youth orchestras each week share the best of freeconcert videos on YouTube (there are thou-sands to choose from) or give someone a CDduring the Christmas season One thing isclear complaining in a small tightly knit circle among music lovers is never a solution

TRANSLATION DWAIN RICHARDSON

Concerts are rare or occasional outings for658 of surveyed audience members This iswhere we need to focus our attention and at-tract the mythical ldquonew audiencerdquo We arerightly worried about renowned internationalartists performing in half-empty halls Whatcan we do In a city like Montreacuteal where con-certs abound competing institutions have noidea how to attract illusory ldquonewrdquo spectatorsand convince them to sit in a hall to listen tocentury-old works they do not know

Orchestras need to improve their approachas well as their concert formats and advertis-ing methods We should leave that responsi-bility to artistic programming and marketingspecialists I want to reach out to our readersfor you are part of the minority who believesclassical music is important Forty-five percent of concert-goers are introduced to music

as adults a significant portion of these adultsgo to concerts because of the influence offriends ndash this is where we need to act eventhough it may not seem like much Given myexperience and discussions with friends whoare musicians I know our passion for music isoften a solitary affair we are the ldquoaliensrdquo inour circle of friends and family who listen toMozart and Beethoven Why should we acceptthis reality We must share our passion it isup to us to sow the seeds and help them grow

To apply the second half of the sayingldquothink globally act locallyrdquo I have beeninviting a different person to go see concerts

LISANNE TREMBLAYthe instrument I started on violin in grade school which had a general music program but with a certain emphasis on stringed instruments InCEGEP I got interested in percussion for a while without switchingover I basically learned music through the violin

TRAINING My parents were music lovers and sang in church Like most violinists Irsquom classically trained but in CEGEP I discovered jazzand that really turned me on to improvisation After that I enrolledin the jazz studies program at McGill University and was its firstgraduate on violin I have now been hired to teach jazz violin there

influences The instrument does have a certain history in jazz and Irsquove checkedit out to some degree but the masters of this music have had more ofan impact on me chiefly Parker andColtrane and the latterrsquos record ALove Supreme was a real eye openerA guitar teacher then introduced meto the group Shakti of guitarist JohnMcLaughlin with Shankar as violin-ist and I listened to that closely al-though itrsquos outside the jazz boxThere are far fewer role models injazz for violin players and that mightseem like an advantage but it is alsoa challenge because itrsquos harder to find yourself when the field is sowide open Also important on my own development was the discoveryof Afro-Cuban music first hand I went to Cuba in 2003 and spent ayear and a half at the conservatory in Havana What I learned mostfrom this experience was the value of rhythm which has since be-come a shaping force in my music And not least I met Rafael Zal-divar the pianist of my group who is also my life partner

projects I am very lucky to have released my recording debut this year on anAmerican label that of saxophonist Greg Osby (see below) We firstmet briefly at a workshop but got better acquainted when he was invited as guest on Rafaelrsquos 2012 album Drawing (Effendi Records)The following summer they played again at our jazz festival and Ijoined them for the second set For now I want to concentrate onplaying the music off my album and adding new pieces to the bandrsquosrepertoire But that does not prevent me from entertaining otherideas as sketchy as they may be perhaps an unusual trio of sortswith guitar and percussion but itrsquos all up in the air as we speak

RACHEL THERRIENthe instrument Irsquom originally from the Rimouski area but came to Montreacuteal with myfamily when I was 12 after having spent three years in Queacutebec CityAfter refusing to go a school in my neighbourhood in Pointe-Claire Iwas put in one in Dorval The first class I attended happened to bemusic but since I arrived there two weeks late all the instruments had

been assigned except trom-bone and trumpet I didnrsquoteven know what they were somy mother had to show themto me in a dictionary Sincethe trumpet had ldquobuttonsrdquo onit I took that one because Ikind of had a better idea ofhow it worked

TRAINING Up until that time I had had little contact with music save for mymother who played a bit of piano When I picked up the horn I feltquite comfortable with it Our music teacher who treated us like thechildren he did not have would go out and let us play arrangementsof tunes by King Crimson and Jethro Tull As I was steadily improv-ing Irsquod play with students in higher grades From there I went toCEGEP in the popular music program but never finished the courseOn a whim I wanted an audition with Ron di Lauro at the Universityof Montreacuteal just to be evaluated but it led me to be admitted to theschoolrsquos jazz program

influences Irsquom the kind of person who goes through phases of listening to varioustrumpeters but I have no personal favourite Sure I checked out Fred-die Hubbard Clifford Brown and Miles but I if Irsquom in need of inspi-ration I tend to go back to Art Farmer Booker Little or Chet Bakerespecially the latter because of his way of fetching you without daz-zling you technically More generally I listen to plenty of styles worldmusic from Africa Latin America Cuba included I was really taken bythe latter when I heard Steve Colemanrsquos Sign of the Seal album somuch so that I went to Cuba for a year and a half to study it first hand

projects Winning the competition at the Montreacuteal Jazz Fest last summer was thefirst real recognition I received since starting my quintet six years agoRight now Irsquom less intent on making a third album because there is another project Irsquom excited about the Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra LastSpring I went down to Columbia with 17 musicians and a good dozenmore from there joined us for a countrywide tour A number of us thenspent three days in a Bogota studio to cut an album I hope to bringsomething out over the winter maybe on my own possibly through anAmerican label and have been shopping it around This fall Irsquoll bespending time in New York just to absorb as much music as possible

ANNIE DOMINIQUEinstruments Early in life I played recorder and it almost drove my parents nutsas I was spending my time trying to lift tunes off the radio Mindyou I had no real intention of making music my life My high school offered arts and music classes but since I had no talent for drawingI decided instead to pick up the flute The following year I startedon alto sax and in CEGEP I got a tenor sax to join the big band andknew immediately it would be my main axe Then I got interested inDixie music and started a group in that style so I got a clarinet More recently Irsquove added abass clarinet and asoprano sax but thetenor sax is still mymain instrumentthe one I always takewith me when forexample I go outand jam

TRAININGWhen I entered the music program in CEGEP I discovered mypassion for big band music I then went to McGill where I earnedmy Bachelorrsquos first then returned to do my Masterrsquos eight yearslater In 2014 I completed my studies with a final concert and arecording which I released last spring (see below) I now giveprivate lessons at a school on the South Shore for about sixmonths of the year but gig year-round as a performer with a lotof freelance jobs and subbing like last summer with the ONJ ndashMontreacuteal at its concert at the Festival de Lanaudiegravere

influencesAmong the classics I have to say Coltrane and Stan Getz the latternot as much for his bossa nova period but for his fabulous pairingsthereafter with Bill Evans and Chick Corea Among the contempo-raries I have been following Dave Binney and Donny McCaslinclosely ever since they visited our school as part of a band calledLan Xang I heard the French pianist Baptiste Trotignon last sum-mer in town with tenorman Mark Turner whom I find quite inter-esting Basically I prefer those who play with a greater sense ofspace than those who spin out long lines But my interests are wide-ranging too I listen to other instruments Dave Douglas I like verymuch and other musical styles both classical and popular

projects In recent weeks Irsquove played with my band three times like lastmonth during the Off Festival but now Irsquom starting to look into thesummer festival circuit Irsquom the kind of person who has to set goalswhich pushes me to get out there and make things happen For ex-ample I feel motivated to write new music for my band when I geta gig for it I love playing and composing too but I find it hard todo both at the same time itrsquos sort of an eitheror for me

The Vale of TearsTheater of Early MusicSchola Cantorum Daniel TaylorAnalekta AN2 9144 (49 min 43 s)HHHHHH

In preparation for deatha nobleman of the Dres-den court wrote and se-lected sacred texts forhis own funeral He evensecretly had his own cof-fin made with lines ofedifying verse carved

into the wood Schuumltz a close friend painstak-ingly composed a fine piece of music nowrecognised as one of the loveliest requiems be-fore Bach This resigned preoccupation withdeath far from being morbid is rather a touch-ing tribute to a highly respected manSchuumltz was one of Bachrsquos greatest precursorsLiving at a war-depressed time he had very

few means at his disposal which is one rea-son he wrote a lot for the voice Pared back tosimplicity the music is often devoid of arti-fice Making use of an array of fine vocal ef-fects it appeals to the mind as well as the soulIt goes to the essentialItrsquos clear that Daniel Taylor adores the humanvoice He has meticulously chosen the singershe works with and shepherds these talentswith sensitivity and a deep understanding ofthe music This vale of tears turns into a riverthat flows forth nearly a century later intoBachrsquos Cantata BWV 165 This baptismal can-tata ends in a chorale of limpidity and purityThis must be the finest performance of thisstand-alone work by the great composerSoul-uplifting and essential RFA

Nightrsquos Dream and the Italian Symphonyseems very comfortable with the demandingform of the quartetThe Toronto group plays this artfully wovenmusic energetically and tightly giving one ofthe best readings of Mendelssohnrsquos chamberworks Highly regarded throughout the worldthe ensemble really exalts the music playingat breath-taking speed animated and febrileIntensely focussed on the music they donrsquotspare the listenerThe overall execution is astonishing The tech-nical and artistic abilities raise Mendelssohnup a notch though perhaps not as high as hisbeloved Beethoven RFA

This is the secondrecording by MattHaimovitz of the fa-mous Suites comingfifteen years after thefirst which Haimovitzsays he no longerrecognises Times

change and musicians evolve After longconsideration listening to numerousrecordings and styles of playing he decided

to focus solely on the lovingly copied manu-script of Anna Magdalena Bach the cantorrsquossecond wife Haimovitz approached themanuscript with such curiosity and open-mindedness that he found musical indica-tions that other copies omit The cellistclaims that this one is closest to the originalThough minor these indications suggestvery precise phrasing and arpeggios a par-ticular placing of the bow on the stringsSuch subtleties may escape the average lis-tener Ultimately there are no real revela-tions but a truly intuitive reading of themusic In effect we have the Haimovitz ver-sions of the Suites His flamboyant almostbrutal style threatens to distort the musicThe sound is rough and hard the attacksharp the accelerations violent He stops atnothing to wrench these pieces into some-thing new Perhaps he takes liberties heshouldnrsquot but itrsquos still captivating Therersquoslittle of the ethereal or meditative in thisformidable performance Itrsquos bold andprovocative and very very memorableMore please RFA

In this short albumthe Ensemble Capriceexplores a repertoire ofchaconnes thatemerged in the 16th

and 17th centuries bycomposers includingMonteverdi Stefano

Landi and Vivaldi The pieces alternate withbrief restful vocal polyphonies composed byMatthias Maute using texts by the poet An-gelus Silesius The music here is treatedsimply and with few instruments at a timeThe recorder is at the forefront and its fanswill be delighted by the virtuosity of bothMatthias Maute and Sophie Lariviegravere Onthe whole this is a playful album that hasfun with the music in a rather demure wayperhaps suited to the holidays However themost substantial work Bachrsquos famous Cha-conne BWV 1004 transcribed for two flutesand bass doesnrsquot seem terribly convincingdespite the lively and touching performanceThe instruments exchange the musical partsingeniously but the flutersquos timbre doesnrsquotsatisfactorily convey the highly spiritual andheartrending nature of the work ndash certainlynot as well as a violin CR

One hundred and twenty years ago in England Australian sopranoNellie Melba a musical icon of the time made a recording usingthe periodrsquos newest technology the phonograph cylinder Todayclassical music collections of stars such as Yo-Yo Ma and LucianoPavarotti populate the globe with high-definition recordings

through worldwide distribution of records CDs and DVDs Technology however hasnrsquot always been well received by classical

musicians Melba after hearing that first recording promised to neverrecord again ldquoDonrsquot tell me I sing like that or I shall go away and live ona desert islandrdquo she protested Classical musicrsquos rich layered soundstogether with its complexity and dynamics demands more from tech-nology and until recently the Internet was not able to properly deliverNowadays however online music services are leading the industry ndashundermining physical products (CDs DVDs etc) ndash and giving way to anew paradigm sharing high-quality music instead of owning it

Here is a quick guide to this new era of music sharing As PlaacutecidoDomingo recently said ldquoIt is only if artists and those who invest inthem have their rights promoted in the digital environment that theycan continue to make the music we all loverdquo

Musical Selection For connoisseurs wanting to access theirfavourite music whenever and wherever they want paid services arethe way to go For the casual listener online radio directories whichare mostly free and vast in variety are more suitable

Limited Internet Access If Internet access is not available youcan download podcasts for free to enjoy later when offline Also you canpurchase online albums to download and enjoy at your convenience

Quality of Sound In the digital era everything is measured in bitsand bytes (8 bits) The higher number of bits per second the higher thesample rate which translates into better sound quality If you playmusic on high-quality speakers while having a low kbps (kilobytes persecond) sharing system the sound may not be satisfactory Similarly

if you play high-quality sound with poor speakers the quality wonrsquot benoticeable Find and assess which is right for your needs As a refer-ence high-quality sound (CD quality) is 320 kbps or more medium(radio) quality is around 128 kbps and low quality is 32 kbps Makesure your Internet connection can support the standard you desire

Budget Match your yearly budget for buying recordings to theavailable services and albums Online paid services systems cost from$4 to $32 per month or $50 (basic) to $385 (premium) a year Freeservices usually include ads and have less quality and selection

Mobiles PhonesTablets The popularity of smart phones andtabletsiPads has also revolutionized the music industry Besides lis-tening to podcasts and downloaded tracks one can use the devicersquoscell data and Wi-Fi connectivity which allows direct streamingthrough specific apps Make sure you are familiar with the apprsquos in-terface and more importantly their data use Whenever possibleuse Wi-Fi especially at home Some mobile internet providers in-clude discounted data use or free packages for selected musicstreaming services LSM

ONLINE CLASSICAL MUSICQUICK GUIDE TO

by CAMILO LANFRANCO

FREE SERVICESThe main free services online for classical music are radio stationsand radio directories They come in a worldwide selection ofthemes and characteristics Check out these radio directories andfree platforms

Shoutcast Radio Directory Classical Web Cast Last FM ABCClassicFM BBC Radio 3 (highly recommended and good soundquality) Classical DJ (no ads nor commentaries there is a choiceof 5 stations) All Classical

Secondly ldquopodcastsrdquo are music shows or playlists that you candownload and play later They usually come with commentary andnarratives or at least with some curating effort Classical-musiccompodcasts Classic FM Podcast Classical performancepodcast Classicalpodcastscom and the NAC Orchestra podcast

Donrsquot forget that YouTube is a great resource archive as well

PAID SERVICESClassical Music has been slow to enter the Internet music trainmainly because of its demand for high-quality sound as well asthe complexity of most works which consist of multiple move-ments Some options out there are Spotify Premium ($10 amonth general music with a classical section) Grammofycom(Free for now check it out) Classical Archives ($7990 peryear $799 per month) Classics Online HD ($1499 per monthrun by Naxos) Naxos Music Library (from $21 to $32 per monthdepending on sound quality It is one of the largest and consoli-dated collections of Classical Music online) and Apple Music($999 per month proving not even this giant could stay awayfrom music streaming)

Finally however I would like to recommend Qobus whichcosts between $10 to $20 per month with a ldquosublimerdquo pricing cat-egory at $219 per year Qobus has high quality MP3 (320 kbps) forsongs you can download albums with FLAC quality (CD quality)and it works for Windows and Mac as well as tablets and phonesthrough their apps You can access and share playlists as well asdownload and listen to music offline Importantly it is the onlyone that comes in both French and English and with a great musicselection and design Visit our website for more links and infor-mation Write us at subscriptionslascenaorg for more tips

THE BOumlSENDORFERSTORY

38 NOVEMBER 2015

A TALE FROM VIENNA

Boumlsendorfer The name itself stands forsomething grandiose majestic evennoble At times some have even saidthat there are pianos and then there areBoumlsendorfers Its fame is in no small

part due to its Imperial model complete withnine extra keys in the lower register and covering eight complete octaves Referred toas the most expensive piano in the world retailing over 200 grand ndash if you have to ask ndashthis instrument is not only impressive to seebut also to hear At just under three metersthis Model 290 (the number referring to itslength in centimetres) remains the grandestof all pianos But it is only the tip of the iceberg for a company that produces a wholerange of models in different sizes (includinguprights) assorted finishes custom-made designs and limited editions

Founded in Vienna in 1828 coincidentallythe year of the passing of Franz Schubert theL Boumlsendorfer Klavierfabrik has a checkeredhistory behind it (see timeline sidebar) Afamily enterprise for its first eighty years itpassed from father Ignaz Boumlsendorfer to hisson Ludwig and has changed hands fourtimes over the last century Its current owner(since 2008) is the Japanese music instru-ment giant Yamaha

In a city so proud of its glorious musical tradition elite institutions and artisan instrument makers this takeover met a certain considerable hostility (note therewas some relief that the company was being purchased by a financially sound companyin the music industry) and in its wake awave of apprehension How would thisJapanese multinational manage an enter-prise so steeped in a tradition of instrumentmaking from a distant era Boumlsendorfers itmust be noted are built at great expense

SCHULICH SCHOOL OF MUSIC TURNS 10MCGILL TO PLAYKOERNER HALLThe McGill Symphony Orchestramakes its tour performance come-back this November at TorontorsquosKoerner Hall The last time theeighty-student ensemble touredwas in 1989 when they became thefirst Canadian student orchestra toplay Carnegie Hall That resulted ina Juno-nominated recording

The concert is one highlight ofthe Schulich School of Musicrsquos special 2015-2016 season whichmarks the tenth anniversary of theschoolrsquos renaming The orchestrawill perform Over Time by SMCQ2015-16 Homage series composerJohn Rea who is a professor at McGill Rearsquos mathematical piecefeatures complex counterpointwith multiple scale sequences andshifting speeds The orchestra willalso perform Brahmsrsquos last large or-chestral work his Double Concertofor Violin Cello and Orchestra Twostar faculty members Axel Strauss(violin) and Matt Haimovitz (cello)will solo The program is roundedout by Shostakovichrsquos SymphonyNo 5 with its multiple solos thatwill allow students to show off theirskills The same program will beperformed in Montreacuteal first andwebcast ldquoThe McGill SymphonyOrchestra is amazing because it is alarge orchestrardquo says DirectorAlexis Hauser ldquoWe can performpractically anythingrdquo

ldquoEvery year 20 or 30 are newperformersrdquo Hauser continuesldquoEven though I have been conducting the McGill SymphonyOrchestra for the last fifteen yearsin reality I have conducted over ahundred orchestras Therersquos notthe slightest idea boredom or burn -out The result is absolutely profes-sional When I go to see a concertat the MSO I look in any directionand I see alumnirdquo

In 2005 the McGill University music facultygot a new name a new building and a new injection of funding It has followed that invigorating year with a decade of highs The school has had many new hires including

a new Director of Performance STEacutePHANE LEMELIN () who left his position as Head ofMusic at the University of Ottawa and GuillaumeBourgogne in the new position as full-timetenure-track professor in charge of the Contem-porary Music Ensemble ldquoI donrsquot know of anyother school that has thisrdquo says Dean Sean Fer-guson ldquoFor me the strength of the school is thestrength of the people who are here One of mygoals when I came in was to really bring about ac-ademic renewal in the performance departmentrdquo

The Schulich School of Music notes Lemelinis probably the only place on campus whereevery student benefits from one-on-one mentor-ship from day one ldquoThere are very few musicschools in the world with such a breadth of ac-tivities and engagement scholarship technol-ogy recording performancerdquo says Lemelin

Another coup a $109-million research grantfor CIRMMT (Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology) willallow staff and students to conduct ldquoresearch inperformancerdquo and fund the completion of themultimedia room In an interview with La ScenaMusicale in 2011 when Ferguson began hismandate as dean he emphasized the importanceof interdepartmental exchange ldquoWhat betterway to illustrate the goalrdquo Ferguson now saysldquowhich was to create links between the differentareas of the school than to have an $115-milliongrant for a research center about performancerdquo

Success also comes thanks to philanthropy ndashthe kind of support that kicked off the schoolrsquosrenaming as the Schulich School in the firstplace ldquoSchulichrsquos gift went to a number ofsources but there are two very significant places

it went to and one was toscholarships We have

ten years of

students now who can call themselves SchulichScholarsrdquo says Ferguson ldquoWe have the basicfunds that we need for the basic functioning ofthe Faculty of Music from the Queacutebec govern-ment But wersquore not a basic faculty of music Weare one of the finest faculties of music in theworld Every year since Irsquove been there there hasbeen a budget cut So to provide this type of experience to students we rely on philanthropyrdquoRecent the school also received a $75-milliongift from Elizabeth Wirth Most of that gift will gotowards scholarships

ldquoItrsquos what allows us to attract such wonderfulstudentsrdquo says Ferguson ldquoAnd whatrsquos differentin music than in other faculties is that the qualityof the students has a direct impact on the peda-gogical experience of our students If you are in aphysics class and the guy next to you gets an Fwho cares If you are a flute player and yoursquoredoubling a line in a Mozart symphony betweenthe flute and the oboe and the oboe is bad itmeans that you are not learning how to double anoboe wellrdquo

The Schulich School of Music celebrates its anniversary season with a slew of special eventsincluding the inauguration of a new vocal prizea new chamber music festival in February 2016and three new public series of performances andresearch presentations The major event this fallis the McGill Symphony Orchestrarsquos upcomingperformance at Koerner Hall It will be ldquoanamazing pedagogical experience for students togo and play in a great concert hall and under-stand how to adjust their performance based onthe acoustics of the space That is a life-alteringexperiencerdquo says Ferguson

During the next ten years Ferguson predictsthe school ldquowill continue to be what I believe tobe Canadarsquos finest music school and one of thefinest music schools in the worldrdquowwwmcgillcamusic

Therersquos a new face to music making in Southwestern Ontario AfterOrchestra London was forced to close its doors in late 2014 due tofinancial mismanagement the Don Wright Faculty of Music atWestern University made a significant investment in the Londonarts community that will assuredly pay dividends for years to come

Dean Betty Anne Younker has worked with architects and the twoprevious deans Robert Wood and Jeffrey Stokes to construct a musicfacility to match the caliber of Westernrsquos music programs

ldquoThe building is a silent participant in the learning of musicrdquo stressedJohn Nicholson of Nicholson Sheffield Architects in charge of the project At capacity for a number of years the old Music Building was simply not enough to sustain the vibrant and expanding faculty

The first phase of the construction involved renovating one sectionof the existing Music Building that was built in 1972 and constructingtwo buildings on either side ofthe renovation In addition tonumerous practice rooms andstudio spaces the renovationswill add a new 50-seat recitalhall ndash a smaller version oftheir 250-seat von KusterHall ndash as well as space for theEarly Music Studio the Percussion Suite and thePiano Technology ProgramThe new building also preserves the iconic architecture of the Westerncampus with its characteristic stone faccedilade These renovations followthe state-of-the art 2008-9 renovations of the facultyrsquos 400-seat PaulDavenport Theatre

With the first phase of construction nearing completion the facultymoved into the new building this past summer That doesnrsquot meanthat summer programs were put on hold in fact the school seemedbusier than ever hosting PercShop ndash a percussion workshop for highschool and university students and adults ndash as well as the 2015 OntarioYouth Choir In addition this was the inaugural year of Music Theatreon the Thames a music theatre intensive program which culminatedin a successful production of Little Women

Community music initiatives such as the Young Winds Program andthe New Horizons Adult Band have already benefitted from the new spaceThe first reviews from students faculty artists and audience members areoverwhelmingly positive From providing a home for students faculty andprograms to connecting with and providing a space for amateur musiciansand the London community the new Music Building will form an integralpart of the music-making experience in London

ldquoIt is not simply a building It is the acoustic aes-thetic and physical environment that enhances

encourages and accommodates what we do at Western It is where we aseducators learners and audiences share the powerful experience ofmusicrdquo states Dr Jill Ball Assistant Professor of Percussion and divisionco-ordinator of Winds Brass and Percussion

A significant portion of the $25-million project is being raised throughthe private sector including from Western alumni and friends of thefaculty Nonetheless Western is still looking to fund two large rehearsalclassrooms (for opera large orchestral and wind band ensembles) thatwill form a critical part of the Music Buildingrsquos infrastructure

The next phase will be the demolition of the unrenovated sectionsof the old Music Building and completing the ground lobby secondand third floors of the bloc A third phase may include renovating theMusic Library housed in Talbot College LSM

CANADIAN ART SONG REFLECTING THE NATURE OF OUR DIVERSITY

As La Scena Musicale continues to celebrate the art song in our20th anniversary season with the Next Great Art Song Competition we have decided this month to highlight some of theEnglish-language Canadian art songs that may not make the top-ten list of great art songs due to their relative obscurity in the per-

formance canon We know and love German lied French meacutelodie andAmerican song but what about that of our native land Surely CalixaLavalleacutee isnrsquot the only Canadian who has composed art songs

Plumbing the depths of the Canadian Music Centrersquos onlinearchives ndash which preserve and promote the works of Canadian com-posers ndash we discovered a veritable wealth of songs many by celebratedand distinguished composers Unlike other national styles of art songthe Canadian sort does not seem to have a unifying style or school ofcomposition Canadarsquos art reflects the nature of our diversity

This eclecticism is what makes Canadian music so exciting Withthe breakdown of traditional concert forms and tonality in the 20th

century there is an even greater variance in the genre in terms of harmonic language rhythmic structure instrumentation and thestructure of the poetry itself

If Canadian art songs are varied compositionally we found thatcompositions in the genre are often thematically united by the desolate Canadian landscape With winter right around the cornerwe thought it would be a good time to celebrate the season by high-lighting several songs and song cycles to do with snow The songsexamined in this article are only in English but we will deal withFrench art songs and other defining features of Canadian song inupcoming articles

The first of the three art song cycles we examined is by John GordonArmstrong Born in Toronto in 1952 Armstrong is a current professorof composition at the University of Ottawa His song cycle for sopranoand piano Hail (2003) was commissioned by Doreen Taylor-Claxtonfor her Canadian Art Song project an effort to unite Canadian composers and poets Claxton herself and Valerie Dueck premieredthe work in August 2005 at the Ottawa International Chamber MusicFestival A recording was made of their collaboration entitled HailCanadian Art Song (CanSona Arts Media 2006)

The cycle is comprised of a series of 14-word sonnets by SEYMOURMAYNE() (b 1944) who is also a professor at the University of Ottawa Word sonnets are a variation of the traditional sonnet formin which there are 14 verses of one word each This makes for only 196words as well as a steep compositional challenge Armstrong explainsthat while some of the songs are miniatures and more direct settingsof the text such as ldquoHailrdquo which is only 9 measures long others likeldquoWindrdquo are expanded to a more standard length

ldquoHailrdquoHail peppered the air like seed as youwere lowered below the frost line

ldquoWindrdquoFrom behind the mapleFrom behind the mapleThe sun flaps its blinding plumageThe sun flaps its blinding plumageWithout a waking cry

In each song the piano accompaniment plays a crucial role in depictingthe character of the different elements ldquoHailrdquo features short disjointedstaccato notes in the piano starting from very high and quickly reachingthe lower register This alludes not only to falling hail but also to the bodythat is lowered into the ground The piano drops out halfway through thesong leaving the soprano to sing mournfully and softly by herself

ldquoFrostrdquoCold morning winterrsquos reconnaissance scouts out the terrain for asortie of sudden snow

The penultimate song ldquoFrostrdquo begins with dissonant chords in theupper register of the piano and a rising minor sixth in the sopranoSlow and pianissimo the opening expresses waking up to a cold morning when everything is frozen and cold At the line ldquoa sortie ofsudden snowrdquo the piano texture abruptly changes to a quick pedalledchromatic descent illustrating the falling snow

Five Snow Songs another song cycle evocative of our long andfrosty winters is by DAVID S FAWCETT() (b 1952) Fawcett a nativeof Hamilton Ontario used poetry by Confederation Poet ARCHIBALDLAMPMAN() (1861-1899) who worked in the Ottawa region and often

wrote about the seasons Fawcett states thatfor a long time he has been drawn to Lamp-manrsquos portraits of Canadian landscape

ldquoSnowrdquoWhite are the far-off plains and white The fading forests grow The wind dies out along the height And denser still the snow A gathering weight on roof and tree Falls down scarce audibly The road before me smoothes and fills Apace and all about The fences dwindle and the hills Are blotted slowly out The naked trees loom spectrally Into the dim white sky The meadows and far-sheeted streams Lie still without a sound Like some soft minister of dreams The snow-fall hoods me round In wood and water earth and air A silence everywhere The evening deepens and the gray Folds closer earth and sky The world seems shrouded far away Its noises sleep and I As secret as yon buried stream Plod dumbly on and dream

The five poems of the song cycle survey different aspects of the Canadianwoodland winter Soon to be released is a recording of Five Snow Songsperformed by baritone Reid Spencer Though ldquoSnowrdquo the second songin the cycle from Lampmanrsquos Lyrics of Earth describes silence Fawcettemploys a light ostinato accompaniment in the piano where each handhas rhythmic independence The piano accompaniment progressively

moving towards the lower register de-picts the snow falling and accumulatingon the ground

A central figure in Canadian musicVIOLET ARCHER() (1913-2000) wroteseveral works that were inspired by theCanadian landscape Commissioned in1996 by Suzanne Summerville for the4th Festival of Women ComposersSongs of North is a cycle of five songswith poetry by Alaskan poet Lisa HarboThough the focus of the text is on the harshness and decay of winter the cycleitself depicts the endless rotation of theseasons

ldquoSeasons of the NorthrdquoGrand and quiet distinctnessWinter of NightSummer of DayFramed by the rapid merging between timesOf ChangeThe shift in sunrsquos dominionThe blurringSpring of DawnFall of ShadowsVast enoughAll Four seasons of one North

ldquoSeasons of the Northrdquo the opening song evokes the vastness of thenorthern landscape The constant time signature changes coupled withthe unusual harmonic progressions with no clear tonal centre give asense of the borderlessness and endlessness of the North

ldquoO Kingdom of SummerrdquoWhere did the sun goWhen the light ran backMarch was brilliant clear and freshLight glittering snow sparkling in glintsA prism of bright whiteTo this Northern Place

This is the centerSouth of usEast of usNorth of usWest of usThis is where we begin

The last song ldquoO Kingdom of Summerrdquo bespeaks of the promise ofthe warmer seasons It stands out from the previous songs in the cycleas Archer uses a bright D Major melody in the opening rather thanambiguous chord clusters As the text describes the directions relativeto the centrality of the North Archer explores different key areas butthe piece ends resolutely on D The cycle affirms that Canada thisNorthern Place is the center of our identity The varied ways in whichwe humbly articulate our identities speak not of an uncertainty of direction but of quiescent possibilities
