combination coheeit Of Mile Frezoini s Thalbers H.
vieuxtemps and NJ me Sakosch, under the direction OF
Maurice Strakosch off last Tuesday evening at Ca
rusi's Saloon. The spacious hall crowded With an
intelligent and apprecte audience that awaited with al
most trembling expectation tho appearance Of another
sspsnt for their fayors and appreciation IN the ART
musical. The selections per programme for the eve
ming were such well calculated to test the powers OF
an artist and such did the fascinating Frezzoini truly
prove herself We thought when she commenced her
first piece, "Qu la Voice. that she betrayed little
trepdaton but this passed. and In the proud con-
scousness of herow gifted powers she led captive all
who dwelt upon her bewitcing tones She sings with
out effort in the main, yet arc inclined to believe
that at times there want Of expressyeness or anima
ton in her that somewhat the effect Of her
singing. But we would not be over-fastidious nor
speak dsparagngly of who has gained for herself 30
well deserved reputation lie Frezsoni She most
undoubtedly an artist Of powers who is des-
tined to become as great vorite here she in the
gayest capital of the Old World Her voice is clear
prano of great compass and volume and in the Rondo
from Somnambula her warbling reminded us most for
cibly of Sontag and Louisa Pyne. In this as in her
other pieces, she wssloudly encored.
II would seem invidlous in If in admiraon of
'.one bright particular STAR should pass over the
other unrivalled artists of the occasion In our opinion
me Strakosch is an excellent singer after her style
ibe combining IL does, pahos and earnestness and
was fully appreciated as the applause Of the audience
clearly proved.
II Is almost superfuous TO speak OF those two great
stars of different consteations but Of the magni
tude in their respective systemsThaberg and Veux-
temps. We believe that the samo unwavering enthu-
sas and devotion to their art possesses them alike
They the living proofs of what genius and perseverance
combined accomplish Long they live to drown
in the harmonious fascination of their powers the dscords
and contentious of world made inharmonious by the
sefshness and envy Of man.
NJ strakosch, the director Of this distinguished comb
nation is host in himself and is too we'll known by
musiclovng public to require any praise at our
hands. We only thank him heartily for last Tues
day evenings rich and entertainment. The last
grand concert comes off on Saturday next May it be
bumper at parting.
