The present week will be barren Of musical
interest: Had 1t not been for the Remcny5 con-
certs, which, by the way, have developed the
fact ttat we have in Mr. Liesesang's club first
class string quartet among US, the past week
would also have been the same. The concerts
were peculiarly enjoyable not alone tor the
magnetic and dashfnG playing of Remenyi- but
also because they gave us Nine. Carreno at her
best md how emphatic her success WIS may be
inferred from the tremendous applause which
greeted the Schurnann quintet, which She played
With the Liesegang Clubs fine accompaniment
i is NOT within our remembrance that chamber
music has ever had this effect before in Chicago.
the other music Of the week was confined to
the close of the aPirares Of Penzance" season
and the Oates performances The second
week Of the "Pirates" decidedly fell of
n attendance It is not difficult to find
the cause. The troupe has scarcely.
spark OF musical merit in it
This is unfortunate, for 1t not only has left an
unjust idea Of the real beauty Of the OPERA but
has unquestionabiy killed any prospect OF future
success with 1t here. The Oates troupe needs no
mention. It Is good enough Of its kind, hut the
kind is not very agreeable.
