Cincinnati Criticism.
The Commercial on the Gotterdamme-
rung.

The act begins with a querulous phrasine
for the horns. They appear to be out of tenn
per, to begin with, and the strings are mad too.
They grumbe and growl and have spasms of
agony. Then the horns are frantic, and romp
and roar in their rage. The kettledrums make
matters infinitely worse, and in this state of
general outrage and riotings the poor singers
begin to shrek. 1t is nc t the fault of Cary. or
Sherwin, or Norton, or Cranch, nor are Cam
panini, Rudolphsen or Whitney to be censured
If from first to last they did not emit single
pleasurable phrase of music, or one that could
be carried away in the musical memory
Wagner never intended they should sine
such phrase. 1t might bave been understood
by vulgar mind, and Wagner, like the priests
of Isis and Osiris, believes in keeping in ad-
vance of the common herd. But next to sym-
pathy for the agonizing instruments, one could
not repress a feeling of sympathy for Compani-
nj, who howled and shrieked through the two
acts because he had to, fighting his way brave
ly and heroically through succession of chro-
matte passages, to the end, without SO much as
note upon which either he or his audience
could perch for moment with sense of re-
pose. Like Sues Wandering jew" and
Dlckens's Poor Jce," he was compelled to
move on; how could he? Ii he paused to take
breath the violins ripped and tore at him in
the widest manner, the 'cellos and BASES and
double-basses growled and grumbled, and the
horns went roaring up and down the scale,
hitting all the chromatics as they went, and
there was nothing for the poor tenor but to 90
at 1t again. Red in the face, perspiring like
glass blower in front of his furnace he made
plunge at the desperate score, and became as
utterly abandoned and reckless as the orches
ira, which by that time had the jimjams, and
only ceased belaboring the ear with all man
ner OF dissonance to be found in Bedlam when
utter exhaustion overlook them and the audi
ence.
