Acclaimed baritone opens anniversary year of the concert society


THE 50th anniversary of Clitheroe Concerts Society began wi a recital by acclaimed young baritone Damian Thantrey, accompa­


nied by Audrey Hyland. Damian has estab- suited to the intimacy of


lished himself in operatic circles. He has worked for Opera North and, most recently, sang Mar­ cello in Clonter Opera's production of "La Boheme". The recital began with


a selection of nine songs from Wolf’s "Songs from the Italienisches Lieder- buch." These short works are settings of anony­ mous Italian love poems translated into German by Paul Heyse. Damian gave us a


wonderful insight into the love affair, displaying both rich intensity of


\ feeling and delicate sub- -Unty. T-Tis operatic train­ ing was much in evidence in his begging approach in "Ein Standchen Euch zu bringen." The colour­ ful accompaniment added much richness to the performance. "Clair de Lune," "En


sourdine" and "Aurore" took the audience into the world of Faure's inti­ mate miniatures. Here Damien sang with great delicacy, which was well


enjoyed her accompani


the music. The accompa­ ment in the following three songs by Ravel,


nist dealt well with the beautiful flowing lines, but was possibly sur­ pia


prised by the pianissimo achieved by the baritone,


Roger Quilter's "Four


Songs" Op. 14 are charm ing English works about the seasons and the countryside. Here we were treated to warmth of sound and evocative accompaniments. Further English songs


followed, with a selection from Gerald Finzi’s set­ ting of Hardy's poetry in "From Before and After Summer" and "From Earth and Air and Rain." The audience par­ ticularly enjoyed the fun presentation of the non­ sense song "Rollicum Rorum." "The Clock of the Years" was excellent­ ly presented in an oper­


atic manner. Two songs by Duparc,


"Extase" and "Phidyle", displayed skilled duo work, with the pianist contributing greatly to the performance. Audrey Hyland obviously


"Don Quichotte a Dulci- nee". These works are based on Spanish dances and were full of Spanish uavuui,

was


shown especially in the piano accompaniment. The audience warmly


applauded the perform­ ers and was treated to an amusing encore - Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park." All in all, the evening


was much enjoyed - a very good beginning to our anniversary season. The society is very grate­ ful to the Countess of Munster Musical Trust, which supported the


recital. The next concert will


be at 7-30 p.m. on November 7th in the Sixth Form Centre of Clitheroe Royal Gram­ mar School when "Trilo­ gy" will present works for flute, cello and harp by Elgar, Bach, Debussy and Saint-Saens. Rosemary Bungard

Westwood is also now in the 60s bracket, but she continues to sport her sig­ nature, eccentric outfits. It is impossible to image her donning a matronly


twin set. But while the tradi­


tional barriers have bro­ ken down, it does not mean there is a fashion free-for-all for women regardless of their years - not if they want to


appear stylish and send off the right signals. Jenny Cutler, an image

dignity and you don’ t want to look silly in most areas of your life, then showing cleavage during the day and showing your kneGS is not really acceptable and it is cer­ tainly not on in the busi­

there are some excep­ tions to this rule. For instance, a woman in her 50s with a particularly well-toned body may get away with wearing a smart designer suit that hovers above the knees. However, she says firmly: “Most people wouldn’t.” She. also believes that


women have to begin modifying their ward­ robe at a much younger age if they are to appear


elegant. “ If you want to look


as though you’ve got your act together and you are successful then even by the age of 30 I think you want to be buying more expensive clothes and you want to

spending a little more on each item, and those aged 40 upwards should “buy decent clothes from decent shops if ^ they can


possibly afford it . Jenny Cutler adds: I


think the general think- ing with a woman is that by the time you have got to 40 you should know what suits and you don’t keep buying your whole new wardrobe every year. You buy some, if not all, classic pieces that stay around for a few years. The expert also advis­


es that women over 25 should always wear at least minimal make-up, no matter how pretty


they are. Those over 30, she


says, look like silly fash­ ion victims who need to grow up if they wear shoes that clearly hurt


their feet. And those over 40, she


states, should be very wary of not wearing a bra, which obviously cuts down the chances of

Mary Spillane and jour­ nalist Victoria McKee give specific advice in


their book “Be As Young As You Want To Be” . They believe that


women in their 30s can still get away with just about anything so long as they have non-flabby bodies and the personali­


ty to carry it off. But they advise those


in their 40s to ditch short skirts, crop tops, ankle socks, baby-doll any­ thing, tiny shorts and


white leather. For fiftysomethings,


they advocate retiring Wonderbras, metallic fabrics, halter-top T- shirts, puffed sleeves and aerobics gear anywhere but the gym. And hitting the 60s, they say, is the time to


say goodbye to T-strap shoes, knee-high boots, black-leather anything


and flashy belts. Clearly there are still
