The J0seMy Concert. marie Stusrf,

The concert at Lincoln Hall last night
was the most remarkable in q musical point OF
view that has been held thisseason. The audience
was by no means commensurate, so far as numbers
were concerned with either the reputation OF the
performers or the excellence of the programme
presented. Mr.. Joseffy is by far the best pianist
that has been heard in this country since Won Bu-
low. His first selections from Bach showed his
marvelously pure and sharply defined execution,
and the applause which followed showed that
he was appreciated. His second was Schu-
mann number, and, though it afforded MI
Joseffy an opportunity to display his superb
technique, it failed to touch the audience, as IL
contained little of the melody that wins the gen
eral nearer. In his final numbers he evidenced
in the fullest degree his complete mastery OF the
piano. Not less celebrated as an artist, more
known as Composer, is Mr.. Georg Henschel. His
rich, full baritone has in it wealth OF sym
pathy, pathos, and power that touches the
heart and holds the listener completely cap
tive In every number he was loudly ap-
plauded, while at the conclusion of his thrill
ing execution of Schuman's Two Grenadiers
the applause was almost deafening, and he was
obliged to answer the enthusiastic encore Miss
Lillian Bailey Mrs Georg HenseheD possesses
pleasant, we'll cultured voice. though lacking in
power, and she rendered her numbers acccptably,
especially twosongs, Z" o Hush Thee, My Babe" and
Sing Heigho," of her husbands composition,
which called forth decided encore. 1t is to be
hoped that this combination of genuine artists
may be again heard in Washington before the
season is over.
