The Mirusian Dream
Performing to the masses and
recording a new album with André
Rieu; it’s a dream come true for
Brisbane singer Mirusia.
C onsidering it’s 8am in Holland and the temperature
is minus two outside, Mirusia Louwerse is
sounding awfully cheery over the phone. But then,
she has good reason. This young singer from the
Brisbane suburb of Birkdale has recently turned 23,
is in the midst of a world tour, and has just released
an album with one of the most popular classical
musicians ever, Dutch violinist André Rieu.
With striking eyes and golden locks, everything
about her story sounds like a fairytale. Legend has
it that, after hearing her voice, the ‘King of the
Waltz’ made a surprise phone call to her home
and asked her to be his princess. (Actually, she had
to fly to Holland first and audition, but she was
soon chosen to be a soloist in his massive musical
extravaganzas. And she did later play the role of
a princess in his ‘André Rieu in Wonderland’ DVD
– complete with prince and white horse.)
The journey to be this princess of song was not quite
that simple of course, and Mirusia admits there was
a lot of hard work involved. But the result is a dream
come true for this charming soprano. It’s a dream
she’s had for many years, and it all started once
upon a time… with a nursery rhyme.
Brought up in a Dutch-speaking family, it was the
need to learn English that launched Mirusia into
singing. She had to understand the language to
start school in Australia, so her parents taught her
English nursery rhymes, exposing her to the music of
Australian artists John Williamson and Don Spencer.
She soon began to sing in English. “I think that was
the easiest way to learn the language - so I’ve been
singing since then and I haven’t stopped.”
From nursery rhymes, Mirusia “went through every
style of music” she could. Pop music, then country,
then jazz - each time she searched for something
more difficult and emotional. Musical theatre was
the next step, and from there she became interested
in opera, studying vocal performance for 4 years at
the Queensland Conservatorium.
Opera is clearly something she is extremely
passionate about. The fire can be heard in her
voice as she reveals her desire to make it a popular
style again. “I think over time, the audiences have
lost their love for opera, because it seemed to
be something to do for people who had a lot of
money, and only the posh could go.”
“But that’s not the way it is, because back in the
day when Mozart was writing opera, not only the
wealthiest people could go; everybody was going.
People were whistling the tunes on the street,
because that was the popular music of the time. So
for me, I want people to be able to do that again…
Opera is the most complicated and most emotional
music that’s ever been written, in my eyes.”
A perfect example of this emotion is Mirusia’s own
heart-stopping performance of Mozart’s “Porgi
amor” from The Marriage of Figaro, on André Rieu’s
‘Live in Vienna’ DVD. In full period dress, Mirusia
 4MBS Classic FM Program Guide may 2008
brings the massive crowd to silence, her pure voice
soaring through the melody at a very slow, but
beautifully sustained tempo.
So, was it her goal to be an opera star all along?
“As a singer you go from day to day, and you think,
‘Oh, where is it going to take me tomorrow?’. But
in the end, I just want to be a solo artist, I want
to be doing concerts like what I’m doing now with
André“.
Her first major break came in 2006 when she won
the national Dame Joan Sutherland award for
performing the ‘Piangero’ aria from Handel’s Giulio
Cesare - she was the youngest singer ever to win.
It gave her media exposure, and not long after,
she recorded a demo album with the Cleveland
Symphony Orchestra. It was this recording,
capturing the richness and warmth of her voice -
that caught the attention of André Rieu.
Little did she know, on the other side of the world
her aunt had emailed André, suggesting he look
at Mirusia’s website and listen to her recordings.
It was André’s wife who first read the email and
heard Mirusia’s voice, but she passed it on to André,
and both were impressed with her talent. Back
in Brisbane, Mirusia received a phone call from a
strange Dutch man.
“Suddenly I got this call at home, but I didn’t think it
could be a prank because who would call and say, ‘I’m
André Rieu’ out of the blue?” He asked her if she could
audition for him the following day. She “laughed and
said, ‘Um, maybe I’ll be there in two days’, because it
takes so long to get there from Australia! So I jumped
on a plane and arrived in Maastricht”.
Since that groundbreaking phone call and an
obviously successful audition, Mirusia has toured
the world with André and his orchestra, singing to
crowds of up to 30,000 people. But the next big
milestone came in late 2007 in Toronto, at the
end of an exhausting tour, when emotions were
running high. André called Mirusia aside and told
her he had something to tell her straight away.
Mirusia panicked. “I thought, ‘Oh my goodness,
what have I done?’ And he said, “I want to record
a CD with you”. I started crying right on the spot,
because it was like a dream come true for me. We
started recording pretty much the next week. We
came back to Maastricht and we picked out songs
and we started recording.”
The album, called Waltzing Matilda, is the first
recording André Rieu has ever made with another
solo artist. It is a combination of both André and
Mirusia’s styles, featuring of course, waltzes, and
half a dozen Australian songs - from the title track,
to Botany Bay and I Still Call Australia Home - all
arranged for voice, solo violin, orchestra and choir.
It’s also a tribute to the Australian audiences that
have welcomed André Rieu so warmly. As Mirusia
says, “André’s really embraced Australia. He wants
to show the Australian public how much he’s been
moved by their reaction to his music.”
To combine Australian songs with classical
waltzes may seem like an eclectic mix, but Mirusia
maintains, “To put the Australian music on the CD
was not really strange because it fits in really well.
I think when you’ve heard the whole CD, and the
way that it flows together, you kind of understand
the meaning of it.”
So, what’s next for Mirusia? From here, she performs
with André in his World Stadium Tour ‘A Romantic
Night in Vienna’, hitting Amsterdam, Leipzig, Paris
and Brussels in the next few months. It’s no tiny
show. Involving over 200 artists, including André’s
Johann Strauss Orchestra and Choir, vocal soloists,
dancers and ice-skaters, the production is set
against a life-size reproduction of the Schönbrunn
Castle in Vienna. The tour also has two ice rinks,
a golden coach with six white horses, and lots of
music - waltzes by Strauss, Lehar and melodies by
Stolz and others.
Despite touring to all these exotic locations,
Mirusia is most looking forward to the Australian
leg of the tour, taking place at the end of this year.
With shows scheduled for Melbourne, Adelaide,
Perth, Sydney and Brisbane (December 3rd and 4th,
Suncorp Stadium), she’s eager to return home to
see family, friends and soak up the atmosphere.
“I think about home a lot. I miss the sun. I also
miss the friendly ‘G’days’ during the day. You walk
through the streets and people are like, ‘G’day mate,
how’s it going?’… (I miss) the Australian lifestyle -
the relaxed, laid back, barbecue-in-the-afternoon
lifestyle.”
But especially, she can’t wait to see how Australians
will respond to the show. “It’s really funny to see the
audience reaction in the different countries you go
to. You can see the culture coming out when people
are laughing and smiling and clapping… I’m really
looking forward to seeing what the Australian
public will do.”
They’ll treat her like a princess, no doubt!

Editorial
A s the air gets crisper
and the leaves start
to fall, you know it’s that
time of year again. It’s
Festival of Classics time!
This year’s is a special
version because it’s the
15th Festival of Classics,
and if you haven’t already
noticed, our featured composer for the year is
Beethoven (1770-1827).
So this month, travel back with us about 200 years
to Bonn and Vienna and enjoy the music that this
great master had to offer. And after all that solid
German music and food (yes, there’ll be German
and Viennese food along the way... we can’t take
you on a 200-year trip and let you go hungry, can
we?), the festival will end with an Italian twist, in
the form of a Puccini Spectacular! This year is the
150th anniversary of Puccini’s birth (that’s quite a
lot of candles to blow out, might I add), so we’ll
be celebrating in style with some of his best loved
arias, and a full production of Act 1 of Tosca.
What’s particularly nice about our festival is that
it will be bringing together 6 Brisbane orchestras
as well as many other ensembles, all for the
common purpose of playing Beethoven in our
Festival. No, they won’t all be in the same room
at the same time – but over 3 weeks in various
venues, the musicians of Brisbane will unite in an
air of musical agreement!
So, I hope to see you on our musical journey to the
world of Beethoven!

The Thrilling Pianism of Alexander Gavrylyuk
Discover this young Ukrainian
talent in a performance presented
by Medici Concerts.
H e’s been described by The New York Times
as ‘a world class pianist’, been compared
to the great piano virtuoso Horowitz, and won
the First Prize and coveted Gold Medal at the
prestigious Arthur Rubinstein International Piano
Competition. He’s achieved all this and more…
and is still in his early twenties! And this month,
he comes to Brisbane, performing works from
sublime Mozart through to Scriabin’s hypnotic and
powerful Vers la flame, to a dramatic performance
of Rachmaninov’s electrifying second sonata.
 4MBS Classic FM Program Guide may 2008
Born in the Ukraine in 1984, Alexander Gavrylyuk
began his piano studies at the age of seven. He
gave his first concerto performance when he was
nine years old, and at age fourteen, was awarded
a scholarship by the Australian Government to
study at the Australian Institute of Music. His
time in Australia was a pleasant one. Whilst living
in Sydney from 1998-2006, he is said to have
loved Australia; the beaches, the lifestyle, and the
relaxed atmosphere.
In turn, the Australian music community loved
him back! Ara and Nyree Vartoukian of Theme &
Variations, the Sydney agents for Steinway, made
available a private piano room and a Concert Grand
after hours. Ara Vartoukian has said, “I would
arrive to find Alexander still practising at 6am
surrounded by pizza boxes, coke and musical scores,
sometimes asleep under his piano.” Steinway were
so impressed by Alexander’s technical mastery,
discipline and beauty, that they honoured him as
a Steinway International Artist.
In 2002, his life took a turn when he was
involved in a serious car accident. His skull had
to be reconstructed in a four hour operation,
but he survived against great odds. There were
fears that he would be paralysed, but Alexander
says that he feels that he plays better now,
having said that “‘sometimes you can express in
the piano something that you can’t say just by
words.”
Since then, he has won numerous international
competitions and had his solo debut recital at
the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatorium
(at the invitation of Nikolay Petrov). He has also
been invited by Vladimir Ashkenazy to record and
perform the complete Prokofiev concerti with the
Sydney Symphony Orchestra in 2009. But for the
moment, he brings to Brisbane a beautifully-crafted
program, with what Gramophone magazine has
described as a ‘blow-your-socks-off virtuosity’.

CRYSTAL VISION
The Music of Kanako Okamoto
Michael Kieran Harvey, piano
Move Records
MD3319
M ichael Kieran Harvey once again proves
himself the champion of interesting
contemporary piano music in this atmospheric
disc of the piano music of Japanese composer
Kanako Okamoto, Crystal Vision.
The opening work, the three-movement Petite
Suite was commissioned by Keiran-Harvey and
was inspired by a seventeenth-century Haiko by
Basho Matsuo: Old pond/Frog jumping in/Sounds
of water. The shimmering, flowing qualities of the
first movement, ‘The Forgotten Pond’, are followed
by hopping intricacies representing ‘The Frog’, and
‘Mists and Statues’ is characterised by fleeting
impressionistic qualities.
The title track is an exploration of the delicate
qualities of the upper register of the piano, which
the composer states represents shimmering rock
crystal. The fuller, Romantic harmonies of La Nuit
provide a pleasing contrast to the previous musical
delicacies, and Sparkle, sounds just as it is named:
constructed out of a short motif which gradually
swells and expands, it reminds the composer of
‘sparkling diamonds’.
The final work, Suite, was also commissioned
by Kieran-Harvey, and its five movements
represent different stages in the evolution of the
world. ‘Einfuhrung’, depicts the creation of the
world, ‘Harmonie’ a peaceful age, ‘Passus’ and
‘Verschwommenheit’ both represent dark ages,
and the final movement, ‘Leidenschaft’, concludes
the work with vibrant energy
Okamoto’s piano music is floating and mystical,
like raindrops on a clear pond, or glass crystals
chiming in a light breeze, with touches of the
exotic. Despite the complexity of the pieces, the
textures reveal a refreshing clarity (free of the
frenetic polyphony of some contemporary piano
works).
Kieran-Harvey’s crisp articulation, sensitive touch
and stylish interpretations complement the
character of the pieces perfectly. So if you’re after
something a little less heavy going in the piano
repertoire, the CD is the perfect companion.

BEETHOVEN
The Nine Symphonies
Overtures
Berlin Philharmonic
Herbert von Karajan
Deutsche Grammophon 442 9924
T
he classical world is currently in Karajan-
celebratory mode, as last month marked the 100th
anniversary of the birth of this renowned conductor.
While festivals around the world celebrate his
work, record labels are busy re-releasing his famed
recordings, such as this - a 6CD set from Deutsche
Grammophon, containing remastered recordings of
all of Beethoven’s nine symphonies. It also contains
the Beethoven overtures ‘Egmont’, ‘Leonore III’,
‘Fidelio’ (1804-1805), ‘Coriolan’, ‘The Creatures of
Prometheus’, and ‘The Ruins of Athens’.
Recorded between the years of 1966 and 1977,
it features the Vienna Singverein, along with
the Berlin Philharmonic, whom Karajan became
conductor of in 1955. This position he held for a
long time - only resigning three months before his
death. He is said to have possessed an astounding
sense of rhythm, memory for a score’s tiniest
details and great control of his work.
For lovers of Beethoven and Karajan, this is an
ideal collection. Beethoven composed all nine of
his symphonies during the years 1799 and 1824,
mostly while he was suffering deafness. It’s a
shame he couldn’t hear them performed, if the
orchestras of the time sounded anything like this.
There are a lot of exciting textures here, from the
gorgeous dark chords of Overture ‘Egmont’, to
the sweet and light opening wind passages in the
third Symphony ‘Eroica’. (This particular symphony
is said to have been originally titled ‘Bonaparte’,
as a tribute to the French revolutionary leader,
but when Beethoven became enraged by some of
Napoleon’s actions, he changed the title to ‘Heroic
Symphony’, celebrating the ‘memory of a great
man’.)
Then there is the mighty attacking of strings in
the famous Symphony No. 5, and of course the
brilliant energy and power of Symphony No. 9,
featuring soprano Anna Tomowa-Sintow, alto
Agnes Baltsa, tenor Peter Schrier and bass Jose
van Dam.
So, if you’re looking for a collection of Beethoven
Symphonies and other well-loved orchestral
works, this is a high-quality choice, expertly played
and led by one of the world’s most celebrated
conductors. Happy Birthday Herbert!

DECCA 475 9385 15CDs
T
his would have to be about as good as it
gets—nine of Puccini’s best-loved operas, in
classic performances by some of the twentieth
century’s greatest singers at their absolute peak.
The recordings date from 1954 to 1962, which
means that many of these stars were only in their
thirties or forties, and you can hear the youthful
bloom still on the voices. Decca has produced
a neat boxed set of 15CDs which takes up little
more than an inch of shelf space, but how much
pleasure is packed in it!
Obviously the casts vary, but common to them
all is the luminous Renata Tebaldi. She’s mostly
partnered by Mario del Monaco, but Carlo
Bergonzi is her tenor in La bohème and Madama
Butterfly, while Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi is
sung by the delightfully fresh-sounding Agostino
Lazzari. The rest of the cast list is full of familiar
names (some of them in quite minor roles, an
unexpected treat). George London is Scarpia,
Robert Merrill the tortured Michele in Il tabarro;
Cornell MacNeil faces off against the lovers in La
fanciulla del West. In Turandot Tebaldi sings Liù to
the Turandot of Inge Borkh, and after a host of
smaller roles Fernando Corena does a brilliant job
of the title role in Gianni Schicchi. This La bohème
is actually my favourite version: Tebaldi cooing
with Bergonzi, Gianna d’Angelo scrapping with
Ettore Bastianini, and Renato Cesari and Cesare
Siepi waffling around as their ratbag mates.
Most opera lovers will already have recordings of
these operas, and quite probably some of these
particular versions. If you’re starting off in opera,
however, or if you’re looking for a generous
present for someone who is, you wouldn’t do
better than this set. Each CD is in a sleeve rather
than a case, which is quite adequate storage
provided you treat it carefully, and certainly saves
shelf space. There is a booklet which gives cast
lists, track details, and a synopsis of each plot.
Most importantly, there are about fifteen hours of
pure Puccini pleasure.
