- AMERICAN MUSICAL. CELEBRrTrES Como TO
EunoPE.-America has from time to time con-
tributed several eminent artists in the musical
profession to Europe. in return for those who
have brought their services to this country, and
in many instances the exported artist has far
exceeded that imported from the Old World.
At the present time there are no opera
singers In Europe, If we except Mario and
Grisi, who can compare with Brignoli
and Patti, who represent American art on
the lyric stage. We do not forget that
Malibran, the queen among the queens Of song,
was not thoroughly recognized In Europe as a
great artist until after her success in America.
Nearly every year we arc sending some must
cal celebrities across the Atlantic TO achieve
enviable regulations ON the other side. Mrs.
Van Zandt goes by the steamer this week to
Europe. This lady Is possessed Of one Of the
purest, freshest and most perfect voices Of any
soprano we have had for many a day. She had
but little opportunity of displaying her powers
here. No doubt she will have many in Europe,
and will make fine reputation there.
Harry Sanderson, the pianist, is also betaking
himself TO European tour Sanderson Is
musical genius, and cannot fail to make his
mark. He was q pianist in his childhood,
played wen at an early stage Of manhood,
although with but a very limited knowledge Of
the science Of music. Several years Of study,
however, have made him not only marvel
lous player, but a correct and brilliant COM
poser. His four hand pieces on two pianos,
with Gottschalk, will be long remembered.
Already an American reputation Il passport
for the artist to the good will Of the European
public. Before many years we should not BIO
surprised to see most Of the leading artists on
the European stage hailing from this country.
