A remarkable operatic jubilee was
celebrated at Hamburg on November
9th-the one thousandth Wagner per-
Torrance in that city under Pollinis
management. that u.s. since 1874, which
makes about forty three performances
year. The remarkable growth of
Wagners popularity is illustrated by
the fact that it was in 1914 that Wag
neg himself conducted his "Rienzi"
twice in Hamburg, and in the twenty
years following, and up to Pollini's ac-
cession, only 1SS Wagner performances
were given, as against 1000 in the fol-
lowing twenty-three years.
According to the "Neue Freie Presse"
of Vienna, the popularity of Brahms is
still growing in England Hans Richter
has lately conducted the grst
symphony twice, besides a number of
his other works, and he has declared
that, as compared with former years.
the reception of these works was re-
markably favorable BY the way. it
would be we'll for the Brahmsites. who
seldom can see much good in Wagner
to remember that it is the man who is
esteemed all over Europe as the great
est of Wagner conductors who is doing
this missionary work for Brahms.
