THE CONCERT.
The concert given Tuesday evening by
the Boston Philharmonic Club, was unde-
niably the most brilliant success, in a mu.
steal point Of view, which we have ever
had the good fortune TO herald in Brattle-
boro, and the favorable opinion we formed
and expressed on former occasion, of the
talents and ability of Herr Listenann as
an artist and leader, and of the high must
cal culture Of all the members of this club
has been more than justified. We do not
hesitate 10 affirm to-day that the Boston
Philharmonic Club is the finest organza-
ton of the kind in existence in our own
country, and that it has few rivals in any
country outside OF Germany. This fact
was not slow in making itself felt Tuesday
evening, and never were artists more
warmly and enthusias tically greeted than
these. As we have elsewhere stated, Herr
Listcmann counts two Of The irst violinisls
in Europe among his masters-Joachim
and Vieuxtemps. No one who has heard
the former Incompatible artist will fail to
recognize in Herr Listemann's playing,
