Organs top a festive finale
Clive O’Connell
APART from the welcome appearance of J. S. Bach’s name and music in much of the 12th Ballarat Festival’s
concluding concerts and recitals, the other impressive feature of last weekend came through in the
perseverance and good grace shown by each audience when faced with pretty demanding music-making.
For instance, just as classic accordionist Mirko Satto enjoyed popular acclaim for his Piazzolla and Galliano
pieces in a packed Mechanic’s Hall at Dean, Josephine Vains’ accounts of the Britten Cello Suite No. 1 and
the Bach C Major Suite were greeted with equally spirited applause in St Alipius Church on Sunday.
Even a rather scholarly finale to the 10-day event seemed to present festival followers with few problems
when John O’Donnell and his Ensemble Gombert performed two unfamiliar works by Domenico Scarlatti –
the Te Deum and Stabat Mater – in St Patrick’s Cathedral on Sunday night. Yes, patrons enjoyed the pleasure
of hearing Melbourne’s most accomplished choral ensemble at work but patches in both works did not qualify
as samples of attention-grabbing inventiveness. […]
