Violin Recital.
One Of the musical events of the season
was the violin recital of Mr. Carl Lamson,
the well known violinist, given in Kotz-
schmar hall last evening Mr.. Lamson' S
pupils evinced degree of proficiency and
talent far above the average, showing the
result of careful and painstaking instruc-
tion, and also much hard study The
various numbers upon the programme
were admirably rendered, each number
receiving generous and well deserved ap-
plause from the large audience present.
When all were SO excellent it was difficult
to discriminate. We were especially
pleased with the fire and animation
shown in the playing of Mr.. Harry
Blodgett, whose rendering of DeBeriot's S
" Fantastic Scene de Ballet" was
especially noteworthy. Master James
Thompson, whose excellent playing in
Mr.. Lamson's first recital last season.
Souvenir de Bade, in a manner evidenc-
ing careful study and decided advance
ment. 1t means only a question of very
few years, when he may take place as
one of Portland S most prominent musical
artists.
Mendelssohn's Song in A major, - and
Lowaine' 81 Royal. Spanish Mazurka' was
given by the Misses Spear and Holmes in
a most pleasing and excellent manner,
and they were received with very evident
satisfaction by the audience. The solos
by both these young ladies gave abundant
evidence of improvement and successful
study that certainly ought to have given
almost as much satisfaction to their in
structor, as it did to the audience who
heard them last evening.
A duet, the Dancla's Second Sym
phonie, was given by Messrs Cousins
in,
correct manner, the intonation being al
most perfect. This also recei8ed hearty
applause.
An especially pleasing feature of the
evening was the unusual excellence OF
the piano accompaniment, aiding as it
did, the young violinists SO efficiently,
rounding out and giving completeness tc
the whole entertainment. We feel certain
that a more pleased and satisfied audience
has seldom filled Kotzschmar hall After
the recital Mr.. Lamson gave private re-
ception to his pupils and their parents at
his studio, No. Temple street.
