Field, Schlick s. 60.

is why he plays Chopin, the music of
passion, as 1t Is played by no other living
man. When De Pachmann is seated at
the piano, he is wholly absorbed in his
work. He neither sees nor feels aught
else, until the number is concluded. Some
years ago he was In this country and
was playing to a great audience in Chica-
go. The selection referred tc was of 1
Were a Bird by Henslett. At the con-
clusior Of the playing he jumped from
the chair In his excitement, and motioning
with his hands in the air exclaimed, You
zee the bird fleeing away!" 1t was the
child let loose in the soul Of a man of
genius
OF the two concerts which will doubt
less prove the most popular to the general
public, it is enough to say that the Bos-
ton Ladies Symphony orchestra, under
direction of Frank Mckee, is not simply
an iron machine for the production Of
intricate music, but white-clad company
of women, who have conscientiously given
themselves to the best things in their art,
playing the great classic numbers in
way to rival the Boston Symphony,
probably the greatest orchestra in Amer
ca; but these dainty women have also
woman's heart for the warm, the geuer-
Gus, tho picturesque. and under their
genial masters baton they play popular
melodies and descriptive pieces so as to
relieve the toe heavy burden of tie
heavier numbers. Altogether it will be
one of the most pleasing concerts of the
season. Then they bring with them the
phenomenal boy soprano. Henry Donlan,
sCloist of the st. Paul5 church choir Of
Boston, who is declared by all the critics
of his native city to be the marvel of
the generation. He sings the most diff
cult music in a voice clear as crystal
and sweet as a birds, and recently took
the chief laures at The great orato rio
concert of the Handel and HaGyn society,
when he sang the Youth in Mendelssohn's
elijah"
The London Glee company, who sing on
Dec &c, will present the old English bal
lads in costume, and with that rare and
genial art which has made the company
famous throughout England. This is
their first appearance in this country,
and If they repeat the successes with
have filled Crystal palace, London, with
tears and laughter, again and again. the
audience will feel that for once they have
experienced the music of the heart.
The two great stars of the Grau opera
company are each to be heard in song re-
citals. Nine Schumarn- Heink comes on
Nov 8-only two weeks away-and David
Bispham will be heard On Nov. q. 1t IS
difficult to speak with moderation Of
either of these great artists. 1t is enough
to know that each has been crowned with
laurel by the whole musical world Schu
nann-Heink is without doubt the great
est contralto that has been produced in
this generation. Her wonderful voice is
the child of a physique that is ample
and perfect, and of a soul that is warm
and illuminated. Her singing is simply
an incarnation. Bispham has once been
heard in St Paul. His finished art his
powerful. voice, his thorough intelligence,
and his masterful interpretations are
known to enough people here to insure for
him an overlooking house.
The artistic climax of the course will
be reached when an expectant audience
sees Lachaume at the piano, and the new
musical wonder. Alexander Petschnikoff,
with his violin Nesting under his classic
face. Herr Petschnkoff Is abso-
lutely the musical sensation of the year,
and will repeat in this country his tri-
umphs abroad. He is simply wonder.
He went to Berlin. that most critical cap
ital In matters of music, and was UNI
heralded and unknown. In less than a
month his name was on all lips, and ne
was playing to applduding thousands.
He is one of those men who conquer by
the right of imperious genius and not by
ordinary methods. He comes here with a
worldwide fame, and his tour across
the continent will be q track Of light.
Such are the artists who can be heard
all of them-for the sum of five dollars,
the cost of season ticket These tick
cts may be obtained for this week only
by applying to Miss Victoria Hoyt at the
Peoples church, and may be exchanged
next Monday for reserved seats-the best
in the house-at Howard, Farwell & Co.'S
music store.
Mr.. Louis G. Elson, of Boston, the we'll
known author critic and artist, comes
in January to interpret the sources OF
music in three musical lectures. His sub
jects are: Scotch History and Song
'The Story of German Music and His
tory of National Music" 1t will be a
most pleasing form of entertainment as
we'll as a real education in the evolution
of music. Mr.. Elson has a strong and
highly cultivated voice, and his methods
are like showing the egg of song, then
the brooding over it, then the breaking
shell and the appearing bird. then the
full song under the blue. Songs that are
great are not made-they are born and
grow Mr.. EIsor shows how it Is done.
This course is only a dollar for the
three musical lectures to those who hold
artists series course tickets.
The whole course offers ten great en-
tertainments, presents the highest artists
of the year In every field, and at prices
never before heard of in this or any other
city.
