The Houston Turnvereln came TO tn,
rescue OF the music lovers OF the city OF
Thursday night with concert by the Mo
zart Symphony company OF New York
which has been heard hero before. bu
never to better effect than IL was on this
occasion. The concert was largely attended
and the universal verdict OF those present
was that nothing finer Of the character had
ever been given in Houston.
| The prima donna OF tho company was
| Miss Marie Louise Gumaer, who possesses
an exqusitely beautiful contralto voice,
and knows how to use II. Her first num-
| an encore she gave "Auntie.' by Behernd,
which. although IL WAS hardly worthy Of
| her was well received. Later she sang
| "Cayutna" from tho opera of Donna
| Cartea," and responded to the enthusiastic
encore with which the selection was greet
cd with "old Love Letters which was
rendered with ine effect. The singer
displayed pleasing sympathy at all times,
and her excellent enunciation added no lit
/ tie to the merit OF her work.
Mr. Richard Stoelzer's viola d'armour
solos were gems OF art, and were all the
| more pleasing on account OF their novelty
His first number was Mascagnis inter-
| mezzo sinfonico, and II was so we'll done
that his hearers demanded more.
Mr.. Otto Lunds violin playing was cx-
ceptionally good. His style and tonal
qualities we're all that could be desired
aud he impaired to his work a pleasing
amount OF vigor and life.
Herr Theodor Hoch proved himself very
versatile artist. In the first place he
played n good violin in the orchestral work.
then his cornet solo entitled "a Salute from
the New World was more than pleasing
his 'Kaiser's Salute" on the Roman tri-
umphal trumpet was an exceptionally fine
piece OF work. and his "Alpen Idylle," per-
formed on tho Alpn echo horn. new in
strument, was OF such nature as TO Ina
press one wildly with tho ability OF tho
performer.
Mir. Mario Rodeck played Marle's "Sere-
made on the da gambia and Servals' "Fan-
TASTE on the cello, both with fine effect,
The da gambia ID Il new instrument, and In
his performance with II Mr. Blodecks pure
style. bueatfu tone and complete sym
patby. stamped him Il genius of no mean
order. His duet with Mr.. Luud. In which
the latter played tho violin, was partlc-
ularly pleasing.
Tho Tanured nyerturn md tho dosrrIu-
tive piece entitled In the Gypsy Camp" |
both rendered by the club. were up TO
the standard of the other numbers and. |
like the others. were much enjoyed
