MADAME GoLpscHMIpr's CONCERT

MADAME UOLDSCHMl OONCEhT.-
The concert of last evening was one of those rare
trumphs only achieved by the rarest genius. Metropo
Titan Hall crowded to the doors and ceiling by
of the most brilliant audiences assembled In New.
York. All the admirable arrangements of the earlier
concerts observed that the place of each per-
son secured without confusion delay and the
eye wandered the expecant mass 1t delightful
to reflect that it was an assembly of those whose
homage 10 the great artist wellproved appreca-
ton, audience not gathered from eagerhope, but
from enthusiastic experience At o'clock Mr. Eisfeld
appeared at the head of the large orchestra mainly
composed of members of the Philharmonic Society,"
with Joseph Burke leader aud Beethovens overture
to ESmon of the richest and characteristic
minor pieces, fifty preluded the promising programme
The overture played with force appreciation and
precision and was received accordingly. Signor
Badia then sang Al pin a9rime from DonIzet
it's Maria di Ruden.. He never much pleased US be-
fore. No singer of genuine ambition could fell per-
ceive the prestige of the OCCASION and summon all his
and skill This Signor Badali did, and sang
he sra in the puret Italian STYLE and with all the
tened good taste for which he is well noted.
Madame GoLDscHMIDr-Jenny Lind no longer, and
It'll Jenny Lind-was received upon her entrance with
enthusiastic applause. She looks better than
member to have her, for long and fagung labor
had the roses upon her cheek when last heard
her She was dressed simply and richly, of old, and
with the gracious acknowledgment of her recep-
ton, she proceeded to sing The scena from Der
Fsischut Hie nahe mir der Schlumner Is one of the
exquisite of the romantic opera, which has
seemed TO await the interpreter 1t finds in her. We
have often enough before expressed at length adm
ration of her rendering of this scene The reserved
fervor-the delicate graduation of sentiment now muslng
upon the midnight, now introverted upon her own
heart-thc yearning prayer with which the repose of
moonlight minges-she vague doubt-the hopo-the
sufpense-the triumphant assurance overlooking In an
ecstacy of gall these truthully told in her
singing as the varying aspects Of the landscape upon
the canvas touched by genius Her voice had full
Mesa sweetness-a richness which sur
passed. The easy superiority with which she gIided
into the opening movement az If the musing
consciously audible, Agatha leans from the win
dow, marked the imperial power of the consum.
mate artist We have space to follow this wonder
full work into detail. But those who remember how
Jenny Lind sang 1t, can understand how Madame GOLD
SCHMIDT with meaning, even, with richer ex-
perence, sings it. Mr. Burke played Schubers Eiose
des Jarmes with Dsvd's variations. 1t was perform
in harmony with the spirit of the evening The
firm touch-the true tone-the fscile skl-were Gil
subservent to the intention of the composer The va
rations Of no especial value. They do not illus
trate the theme, prolong ts impression; but they
served to display the mastery hand while his enuncia
ton of the theme revealed the sympathetic feeling of
the artist.
In Al! miei fedehi from Beatrice di Tesda, Madame
Col oscHMIDr showed once more, that her treatment
of Italian music Is wonderful and original a. h.r
conception Of 1t Is profound. 1t Is mainly In the orrs
of this aria that she revels this Instead OF the
traditional and conventional phrasing 10 which singers
and, to our remembrance, without single exception
-embellish these songs she reves ia Torture, even
more graceful than the theme and suggestive that
the song appears This especially remarkable
last evenpg-the diminishing cadences vanished In per-
feet graduation like Claudes aerial perspectives-like
moonlit rippes receding into silence Mr. Orro GOLD
SCHMIDT opened the second part of the Concert with
Weber's ConcrtsIok for piano and orchestra We had
heard him before In that hall; We remember well
the first evening Of his appearance last year, when
be played a concerto of Meudelssohn's, and Wa we'll
knew the mssteriy performance to which we should
listen. Mr. GoLDscnnrDr is ~srtist o. truly as his
wife, He treats ths piano n instrument by whose
