Oracle of DelphiAussie flautist Jane Rutter is talented but no 'Bond'
July 19th 2006 08:20
Jane Rutter has to be the sexiest woman in classical music (apart from those girls in BOND who are so smokin' hot). Rutter is established as one of Australia's most brilliant and versatile flautists. Rutter began training on the flute at an early age. She credits as a great early influence an occasion when aged 12 while on holiday in Bali with her mother. As she was improvising and playing some Balinese tunes she had heard, her playing came to the attention of a local Balinese flute orchestra that sought her out. She claims this validated her playing and set her sights to being a professional flautist.
One of the few classical flautists in the world with the ability to cross over successfully into jazz and pop, all her albums have entered the FM pop charts. She attended the Sydney Conservatorium of Music High School and was then awarded a French government scholarship to study in Paris with Alain Marion and Jean-Pierre Rampal.
Returning from Paris, Jane Rutter was appointed lecturer at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, formed the eclectic chamber group "Posh" and toured extensively for Musica Viva Australia. She produced and starred in many concerts in the Sydney Opera house. Since 1990, she has been a household name in Australia, appearing on every major television variety and current affairs show, including a 60 Minutes feature. At the 1992 Edinburgh Festival, her one-woman show, Tutti Flutti, was nominated for Fringe Award. Jane Rutter presented on Channel Nine's Getaway in 1994, winning a "Peoples Choice" award. She has performed in UK, Europe, USA, South-East Asia, the South Pacific and South America.
Jane's recent album (2004) with Slava Grigoryan, "Brazil", recently went to No. 1 in the classical charts.
