I would like to begin the editorial this month with a note of gratitude to our outgoing editor, Elaine
Siversen, who has delivered to us, over the last three years, a comprehensive magazine highlighting our
classical music program. We shall be forever grateful for Elaine’s dedication to Fine Music.
Whatever your beliefs, it is safe to say this time of year offers the promise of a fresh start while pointing
to new life and the power and energy to reshape our own. While a new year typically sparks resolutions
for life changes large and small, Easter offers its own chance for a reset. With those thoughts in mind, this
month we welcome you to the new magazine design.
As we prepare for the launch of our digital magazine over the next three months, we hope this new design
will provide you a fresh perspective that focuses on our mission to be Sydney’s preferred broadcaster of classical music, jazz and other
specialist music genres, while promoting Australian musicians and composers, with particular focus on the young. We encourage
you to explore our new Fine Music Sydney website and all of the extra benefits that it has to offer. Finally, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of the dedicated volunteers who were involved in this month's program.

Werner Andreas Albert
A Tribute to the German - Australian Conductor
Written by Neil McEwan
Photo by Sabina Langenham
Werner Andreas Albert, a student of Herbert von Karajan, was
a prolific German conductor, who played a significant role in the
orchestral culture of Australia, but notably as chief conductor of the
Queensland Symphony Orchestra for over a decade, an ensemble
which developed a strong identity and enhanced culture of sound
during his tenure, confirming his expertise as an orchestra builder.
Werner Andreas Albert had a
keen interest in the training of young
conductors and musicians.
He directed the Australian Broadcasting
Corporation’s Conducting Workshop
for 8 years, as well as teaching selected
Masters’ students at the University of
Queensland, of which institution he was
an Adjunct Professor.
In the international sphere, Albert produced a significant
discography of recordings of neglected symphonic works, mostly
by German composers. Many of these are premiere recordings
and have played a significant role in the revival of such composers
as Alexander von Zemlinsky, Siegfried Wagner, Hans Pfitzner and

In Conversation with
Frances Madden
Our former Kruger Scholarship recipient and rising jazz
vocalist and pianist talks about her new album 'Beautiful
World', about finding inspiration in Nashville, recording
original songs, and more. Written by Christopher Waterhouse
Photos by Monica Pronk
Congratulations on your new album
“Beautiful World”! How did the album
come about?
Thank you! The new album has been in
the making for quite a while - I started
writing material for it about two years
ago and over time we’ve ‘road-tested’
the tunes and arrangements in our live
shows. I also found and approached an
incredible Australian producer, Chong
Lim AM, who works regularly with
John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John.
Once we had the songs, we raised the
money to start. Part of that came from
the Kruger Scholarship and part from
private investment. We were then able
to put together a wonderful team of
musicians and we recorded on and off
over a year, working around peoples’
schedules. And then it took probably
six months or more for my manager to
pitch the album and do the commercial
negotiations. And now, here we are and
I’m really excited to be releasing the
album here in Australia with ABC Music
this month.
What was the significance of your visit
to Nashville for this project?
I’ve been lucky to make a few trips to
Nashville, the songwriting capital of the
world, it also happens to be where my
manager is based. The first time I went

with a few talented writers and it was a
wonderful experience. Being a city full
of music creatives and also having such
a rich music history, it’s a truly inspiring
place for a young writer to be. It really
helped me to develop my confidence
with songwriting and to begin the
journey of writing new material for
my album. When I arrived there, I had
begun an idea entitled ‘The One Who
Walks Me Home’.
I remember sitting at the piano one
afternoon watching the sunset on the
Tennessee hills and, after what had
been months of struggle, I was able
to come up with a bridge section and
finally finish the tune. That is the last
track on the album, but probably the
first one that I wrote.

The Silver Age of
Viennese Operetta
Franz Lehár In Profile
Written by Derek Parker
There was some excitement in 1905
among regular patrons of the Vienna
Theater an der Wien as Christmas
approached. A new operetta had
been promised, with music by Richard
Heuberger, the composer of the
resoundingly successful The Opera
Ball. However, the management of
the theatre was less excited than
concerned: the promised score kept
failing to appear. It got later and later.
What to do?
The librettist, Victor Léon, kept resisting
the obvious solution: hand the libretto
over to the theatre’s conductor, Franz
Lehár, who had already had four
operettas produced in the city. But the
last two had been pretty unsuccessful,
and Léon did not want any chances of
success spoiled by an incompetent or
simply dull score. At last, however, he
was persuaded that there was no other
