The Mendelssohms, Joscfy and Besltmi

Music.
The MendelssohnS, Joscfy and Besitni.
The GLOBE desires again to emphasize
its endorsement of the concert to be given
at the Opera house on Wednesday evening
next by the Mendelsson club of Minneapo
lis, assisted by Joseffy, the most marvellous
pianist the world ever saw, and Signora
Bellini, soprano of fine presence and
brilliant accomplishments, who ranks
with Kellogg and is in every way worthy
of the company she is in.
The GLOBE reflects the unanimous voice
of the best musical critics III st. Paul
when it repeats its own language respect
ing this club on the occasion of the recent
concert given by them in st. Paul, which
was as follows:
In brilliancy of effect, general harmony of
outline, intelligent application OF the laws that
govern the enunciatiOn of sound as applied to
the expression of feeling as modulated by the
human register, the Mendelssohn club concert
at the Opera house last night was the musical
event, so far, of the season. The gentlemen
comprising the organization have just occa-
sion to feel proud of their success. Artstlcally,
several elements conspired to achieve the
triumph, not the least important factors being
the concentration and manifestation OF indi-
vidual excellence as a harmonious and we'll
rounded unit.
The club then, with the exception of
the violinist, Mollenhauer, was supported
by no outside assistance; but on the COM
jng occasion it will be reinforced by a
pianist who, were he announced to play
alone at the Opera house, would, with the
knowledge our people now have of his
astonishing powers, fill every seat in
the house at a higher price than will be
charged for the entire combination; and
by soprano having no superior on the
American stage. Taken as a whole,
therefore, the concert will eclipse any
event of the kind in the musical history
of St. Paul, and will doubtless meet with
a corresponding reception at the hands
of our people, who are always to be de,
pended upon to respond in numbers and
with enthusiasm to attractions OF really
superior character.
The GLOBE has spoken in such glowing
terms of the playing of Josetfy that little
more remains to be said. The fact IS
that the comments of the press regard
ing his playing consist of simple rhap-
sody. There is no attempt at criticism.
His effects are so marvellous, and so many
of them new TO the instrument as man.
ipulated by any former master, that the
language of superlative follows all his
efforts, and for once consigns criticism
to the background. Our citizens have a
novel experience in store for them in the
execution of this phenomenon of the
piano, and those of them who miss wit
Messing it, will one day crlticise them
selves most heartily for their folly.
