AFFORD to miss any one Of these concerts.
Never has there been such enthusiasm in
matters relating to orchestra orchestral con-
Quoting and orchestral playing. And this is
is orchestral and a Thomas concert means
the highest class Of orchestral music.
Rosenthal, the giant among modern planlsts.
has most successfully inaugurated his second
American tour. At his first concert in Car
negte Music hall, Oct &c. the enthusiasm
OF the tremendously large audience was un-
bounded. Over and over again the great
artist was called out and vociferously cheer
ed. and after the Don Juan Fantasia" the
vast audience demanded several encores
Rosenthal is this season the lion of the day
He has made wonderful strides since his last
visit here his bewidering technique his
broad, beautiful and sonorous tone, and his
present time. Sometimes his playing borders
on the diabolicaI.
The Musical Journal of Nov % has the
following to say Of Sauer: Emil Sauerss ad
vent at the Metropolitan opera house on Ian
10 is to be an event of such Importance that
the greatest audience of the season may be
expected TO assemble on that occasion. Sauer' :
reputation comes in advance of him Recent
letters from Brussels and Leipsic, published
In this paper, refer to six, seven and eight
recalls, and on one occasion he was com
PEELED to play three encores. 1t is seldom
that the advance indications point to success
so definitely as with Sauer.
The London World OF Jan. H. 1898 has the
following to say Of Blanche Marchesi: 81 have
heard Madam Marchesis singing called 'tri-
umph of art 1t is not only that IL is a
triumph of many things Of intellect of tenn
permanent OF sympathy, Of management 1t is
a triumph OF heart and head. of knowl ed gs
or life, OF knowledge Of how TO breathe One
cannot weary Of Madam Msrchesi's singing
so long as one possesses emotions, a sense OF
pity sense OF humor, the power of singing
over tiny sorrow, or Of smiling over =
quiet happiness. -
FfraneOn Davies, the great baritone: Frau
Gadskl, for several years the leading lady of
the Damroseh Opera company, and George
iamnn' Americas greatest tenor, will be the
stars for the three concerts in which the
Schubert club chorus of 125 voices and the
Schubert Club orchestra OF thirty five musi-
clans, under the direction OF Prof. Ober-
The critic OF the London World comes pref
the singing OF Nine Blanche Marchesi. Com
said:
At her last recital Nine MarchesI sang a
good many songs, and sang them all well.
She never by any chance sings badly or flIy
She is perhaps the most subtly vigilant vocal
list OF our time. and respects her self and her
art as much as We all respect her In con-
sequence, she varies much less than most
singers. and offers fewer chances for the
ANXIOUS critic: thought that her most beau
uful effort OF the other afternoon was made
IN Purcelfs wonderfully sincere rectative
and air from Dido and Aeneas" and that
the least satisfactory thing done was Bach 5
cantate, 'Schlage doch," given with a strin 2
quartette ard bell accompaniment. sonlehow
this seemed-for Nine Marchesi-a little
half hearted. My own belief is that she was
tribe anxious about the bell or, rather,
bells. Once or twice, too. she was not abso-
lutely in the center of her note. But really
l am almost ashamed to carp. The Purcell
air is one Of those absolutely truthful things
that make one understand how many musical
hes there are in nine programmes out of ten,
how many well known composers there are
Stimulating unfelt emotion, how many people
trying to make the head do the duty for the
heart. Frankly. the head can never be a
substitute for It's neighbor either in music or
literature. 1t can never be more than an in
genius scarecrow, striking the attitdue of a
live man. Nine. Marchesi loves not scare
crows. Her exquisite sincerity of singing in
this truthful music moved my heart. And
when she sang. When ! Am Laid in Earth
Remember Me-" / thought of the in
scription on Lady Howard's tablet 10 Purcell:
Here lies Henry Purcell Esq. who left
this life. and is gone 10 that Blessed place
where only his harmony can be exceeded. -
All. yes 1t is indeed sincerity that grips the
! hand OF memory, sincerity In life and In art.
No one need be ashamed to worship Il
feel when Nine Msrchesi sings that she
has bent the knee at the holy shrine And
Blanche Marchesi is 70 be heard in St Paul.
