Maurice Ravel
The idea of publishing, performing and recording piano transcriptions is not novel in that this has been an important historical practice by composers and publishers, made popular in performance by artists such as Liszt and Busoni. Reductions of operas, symphonies, and other large works for solo piano or one piano-four hands were customarily done so that a wider public would be exposed to music that otherwise might not have been heard or available in any other context. Concert halls and opera houses were not necessarily or readily accessible. Also, mass media sound reproduction did not yet exist in the 19th Century and it was some time before it was made available and affordable to the general public in the 20th Century. Ravel himself approved transcriptions of his orchestral and chamber works, done at the request of his publisher, Durand. These transcriptions were usually done by Lucien Garban, Jacques Charlot and Roger Branga (who might have been Garban, note the anagram of the name). The idea of performing and recording all three on a solo piano disc UisU novel in that these three works have not been performed or recorded together in that mode. "Ma Mere L'Oye" and "Daphnis and Chloé Suite No. 2," rarely performed and even more rarely recorded by solo pianists, are rich in pianistic challenges, virtuosity and absolutely ravishingly beauty, sometimes in the most simple of phrases. Together, these three ballets form both musical and historical juxtapositions of Ravel's life and compositions during the same time period in his life. "Ma Mere L'Oye" was originally a 5-movement suite for 4-hands written for Mimi and Jean Godebski, although they did not give the premiere performance as they were 6 and 7 years old at the time. "Between 1906 and 1908 we used to have long holidays at my parents' house in the country, La Grangette at Valvins. It was there that Ravel finished, or at least brought us, Ma Mère l'Oye. But neither my brother nor I was of an age to appreciate such a dedication and we regarded it rather as something entailing hard work. Ravel wanted us to give the first public performance but the idea filled me with a cold terror. My brother, being less timid and more gifted on the piano, coped quite well. But despite lessons from Ravel I used to freeze to such an extent that the idea had to be abandoned." (Mimie Godebska Blacque-Belair, 1938) The actual premiere was performed by Jeanne Leleu and Geneviève Durony. "He (Ravel) wanted the Petit Poucet to be very uniform in sonority. I used to wait impatiently for the cuckoo to enter! It was great fun to play the cuckoo! (Jeanne Leleu to Hélène Jourdan-Morhange in Ravel According to Ravel) Jacques Charlot transcribed this version to solo piano in 1910. It was commissioned as a ballet in 1911 and premiered as such fully orchestrated with the addition of a Prélude, an additional movement entitled, "Danse du rouet" and connecting music in 1912. It is not clear whether Ravel or Charlot wrote the additional movements for piano solo. "Ma Mere L'Oye," juvenile piano-duets, dates from 1908. The idea of conjuring up the poetry of childhood in these pieces has naturally led me to simplify my style and clarify my writing. I have made a ballet of the work which has been put on at the Théâtre des Arts." "Daphnis and Chloé" was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes in 1909, although it was 1912 before it would be performed for the first time. The principals involved in it's creation in addition to Diaghilev and Ravel were Michel Fokine, the choreographer, Léon Bakst, the designer, Pierre Monteux, the conductor, and Nijinsky and Karsavina, the dancers. Ravel completed his first version of the score for piano by 1910, however, the birth of this piece was fraught with difficulties, not the least of which was the continual fighting between Fokine and Nijinsky which almost caused Diaghilev to cancel the project. Ravel also had difficulty completing the final dance entitled "Danse générale", which took a full year in the end to finish. At first Ravel had composed it in 3/4 meter, but rethought it. Once he had delivered it, the dancers had difficulty with it's 5/4 meter. They solved this dilemma by using the syllables, "Ser-gei'Di-a-ghi-lev." After seeing it's premiere, Jean Cocteau stated, "Daphnis et Chloé is one of the creations which fell into our hearts like a comet coming from a planet, the laws of which will remain to us forever mysterious and forbidden. Stravinsky called it "not only Ravel's best work, but also one of the most beautiful products of all French music." Suites No. 1 and 2 for orchestra are derived from the full ballet and are often performed separately. Of the three, only "Valses nobles et sentimentales" was originally composed for solo piano and is regularly performed and recorded as such, although it was booed at it's premiere. It was inspired by Franz Schubert's earlier work in the same genre. As Ravel himself said, 'The title sufficiently indicates my intention to compose a succession of waltzes, after Schubert's example.' Louis Albert, to whom this suite was dedicated, gave the first performance of this work in 1911, it was subsequently orchestrated and received it's premiere as a ballet in 1912 under the name Adélaïde ou le langage des fleurs (Adelaide: The Language of Flowers).

B-A-C-H
Three contemporary works about BACH. The composers Hirschfeld (Germany), Levin (Sweden) and Pflüger (Switzerland) give their very own unique rendering of name and music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Two works for piano and one work for woodwind quintet., played by C. René Hirschfeld and the mdr Radio quintet. Sonata b-a-c-h by C. René Hirschfeld features formal aspects of Bach's music such as fugue, choral, invention etc. And works with them in a vivid and colourful way: contemporary music but you always feel the presence of Bach. Levin's French/Scanian Suite is an abstraction about Bach's 5th French Suite for Harpsichord. Levin starts with the original and then breaks it up and projects the proportions on to the size of the modern grand piano. He thereby always comes back to the original, so it is a real 'hot-cold' feeling with the music pending between old and new music. Comprehensive booklet in English, German and Swedish Andreas Pflüger uses in his piece 'BACH' for woodwind quintet the Anagram of the name of Bach, witch in German means the tones bflat-a-c-b, to bild 3 pieces of permanently ongoing changes and touching atmosphere.- Shop: odax

After All These Years
This album is a collection of songs written over a period of eleven months in two different studios, in two different locations in Australia. The basis of the album began in Clare SA (Greenhaven Mobile Cottage Recordings) and the tracks were edited and remixed in Sydney NSW. The final vocals and mixes were also done in Sydney. The founder members of Nattai, Billy, Trish and Lindsay have continued to collaborate on their musical tracks, even after the live performances ended in the early 90's. Not entirely satisfied with their earlier releases, controlled by engineers and independent studios, Lindsay Askew (Clubdred Studio Sydney NSW) decided to further develop his interest in recording and producing, which has led to many amazing tracks, some of which, have featured on local radio, with a myriad of artists clambering for his input into their creative works. (Lindsay is AKA Lindsay Carlos Santana Askew - brilliant guitarist, not that he would ever admit to it!!!!) Geoff Oaks, a well respected player, fine musician and incredibly funny man has continued to support Nattai's music by adding his amazing sax lines to the never ending list of new songs. Alec Tundervary (DJ Rapt) has had quite a bit of input into this latest release with some great remixes of the original tracks and the odd vocal harmony thrown in for good measure. Digeridoo player, guitarist and singer song writer Scott Harrow lent his amazing talent to the track Diji Man. He is currently on a spiritual journey in Byron Bay. Billy and Trish like to perform live locally for community events and Michael (Trish's husband) bass player extraordinaire supports their 25 year partnership in musical escapades. Originally from Cardiff Wales, Billy started his musical career as a roady with many of the 60's bands touring the UK. He didn't discover he had a talent for singing and harmonica until he partnered with 'Ruscoe' in Torquay in the early 80's as the Jack Daniels Duo. Trish joined them shortly after when they became the JD Trio. Trish had been singing in a local Devon folk group called Rumpus, who released 'Songs From The South Hams Coastline' and also the trio Aqua Track which featured Lord George Villiers on guitar. Billy and Trish moved to Adelaide Australia in the late 80's and continued their journey with bands named The Light Factory, Karoubra, The Jack Daniels Band, Tigerbay, The Liquidators, The Riot Squad and eventually Nattai. The name Nattai was originally derived from an anagram of their daughter Natasha's name but it soon became known that it was also an aboriginal name meaning water. Billy checked with the local Aboriginal Elders in Sydney that it was okay to use the name and they gave it their blessing. After nearly 3 decades of performing Billy and Trish continue to amuse delight and inspire audiences of all ages and hope to continue till the day they drop! Their earlier releases have been compiled into a double CD collectors album, soon to be released for posterity and although they have not previously been picked up by the major record labels, the band will make use of modern technology to continue to write, record and update their releases in the future. Enjoy this collection of songs for what it is, honest, truthful music which is equally as good live as it is in it's recorded state. Thanks for listening. X.- Shop: odax
