Is It
ART?

by JEREMY BLOOM

The dark side of music has spawned
some of rock’s most fascinating and
Memorable characters, and Art Berg-
man, of Vancouver’s Poisoned, is va-
guely reminiscent of all of them.

In live performance, you see oc-
casional flashes of Jim Morrison, a
spark or two of the Psych Fur’s Rich-
ards and David Johannson. And then
again, none of these. Art Bergman is
very much a unique presence.

As you read this, Poisoned is wing-
ing their way to Toronto, for a promo-
tional tour media blitz, plus gigs at a
few select local hangouts, including
the infamous Larry’s Hideaway.
We’ll be running a full interview
onArt in an upcoming issue—full of
amusing stories and anecdotes about
his visit to big T.O. And hopefully,
there will also be good news of record
deals, as well.

The V.S.O. shone again on Tuesday
February 18th with guest conductor
Mario Bearnardi and mezzo-soprano
Judith Forst, two of Canada’s most
treasured musical talents. The pro-
gramme featured Haydn’s Symphony
no. 89 in A minor [la Poule), select-
ions from 19th century opera and
excerpts from from Merlioz’s Romeo
and Juliet.

Mario Berardi began his musical
training in Venice, Italy and finished
at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto.
Berrardi has been a leading force in
Canadian artistic culture. In 1969 he
was instrumental in creating the
National Arts Centre Orchestra in
Ottawa.

Bernardi has recieved critical. ac-
claim in Europe as well as North
America due to his energetic, inspir-
ing style.

Haydn’s work requires a lot of
energy due to the size of orchestra he
was writing for. Symphony no. 89 is
one of the six Paris symphonies
Haydn wrote between 1785 and 1786
due to his high standing with the

Judith Forst has recieved incredibly
high standing among audiences all
over the world. Forst dazzled her
Vancouver audience Tuesday evening
with her powerful stage presence and
of course, her magical voice. She sang
arias from 19th century works such as
Bizet’s Carmen and Berlioz’s Romeo
and Juliet. Forst’s repertoire includes
more than 50 roles in 5 languages,
which places her in the same class
with Dame Joan Sutherland and
Leontyne Price, both of whom Forst
has shared the stage with.

As a fitting end to the performance,
the V.S.O. played the Love Scene
from Romeo and Juliet, a lovely,
intence piece. The audience certainly
left the Orpheum satisfied and stimu-
lated.

Upcoming in the Jubilee series is
guest pianist John Browning, who will
be performing works from Ravel, Liszt

and Schumann. Don’t miss an oppor-.

tunity to hear one of North America’s
most acclaimed orchestras. For ticket
