WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
OF Maconda and Chapman, Kronold
and Silberfeld.
MACONDA.

MACONDA.
Blngor Wing.
Nine Maconds has previously delighted
the people e this section so they knew
full well what to expect, and what they
anticipated they received---a powerful
sense OF pleasure in hearing a beautiful
voice in tn best of music.
Bangor News.
Among SO mach that delighted and so
many WHO pleased, Nine. MRcunda stood
conspicuous and brilliant. Let Maconda
be considered alone, and not compared
with any. She is joy, delight, all by
herself; she fills to its brim, while she
holds the stage, the cup of vocal pleasure.
Oh graceful, wholesome personality, and
most winning manner, the first i'm
preston that she creates is enough to
make friends of all her auditors. And
her voice, fresh, pure, of unusual power
and yet OF velVety softness-that COM
pletes the charm-we say completes it, for
with sueh women as she the gift OF voice
is not all.
Bangor Commercial.
Though she was welcomed hy great
burst OF applause on her first sppeHrHbca,
and closed her opening nuu.b ter AMIDST
great enthusiasm, all that vas nothing
compared to " nat followed her uneq Iatled
work i'll Thomas number. He vDlcs
seemed richer than ever, it's middle tom
mellow and smooth like heavy liqpi It
Incompatible peilucidity. BgoW there
were many subdued beauties, " hlle in tie
heights of her voice there were seen mar
wells OF transparent brlIllancy jA&t
plainly surpassed even her previous efforts
III this city.
sILBERFELD.
Commercial.
There is a natural prejudice against
what the playbills usually term Child
artists, and little Miss Silherfeld came
out for her piano numbers to face q Il au-
uience TINT WIS duly skeptical as 10 h r
age, if not as to her powers in music
However, she showed a charming modesiy
III the public eye, and sat her thirteen
years down in front of the great Everett
grand Instrument, which seemed to sud-
denly grow INFO very formidable bit of
machinery IS the small parsonage got
into posit before it.
However, Miss Bessie ad ju-ted her chair
with chidtke abstraction, and settled
calmly down to LISTS Liebestrau'n. At
ter thus, she essayed ChoDns black KEY
etude. The audience calico for more and
the little artist graciOusly did Mendes
sohn's spiHning-so Her second APP
pearance was to play LISTS Rigoietto.
and unspofled by her puoiic perform
ances, plays the piano III wonderful
manner.
News.
Among the piani-tees who have ap-
peared here, high place must be given to
little Mss Bessie Silberfeld, whose talent
is nodestly displayed, whose manner as
we'll as her playing charmed her hearers.
Miss Silberteld won instant recognition.
Wing.
Little Mis- Bessie Silherfeld is genius
ana wonder. She is only hirteen years
of age but already her piauotorte playing
would do credit to many of the sooists OF
many more years of experience AID ac-
knowledged ability.
KRoNoLD.
Wing.
Hans kronold some time ago estab-
llshed himself III great popular favor, and
he won new laure!s by his magnetic,
artistic aud brilliant manipulation of the
tuneful cello. His playing was exqui-
site, and was listened to with great en-
joyment and Appreciation.
Commercial.
He played wonderfully we'll, as usual,
getting Il full, round tone that was the
delight OF his hearers and again demon
stratlng his genius by extracting from
his instrument a depth of sentiment that
comes forth only at the call of the true
artist.
News.
OF Hans kronold, the gifted 'cellst, it
Will be enough to say, perhaps, that his
genius shone even brighter on this oc
casion than ever before here.
CHAPMAN.
News.
AS for the conductor, there is not hing
new to be said-no praise, and all douhly
merited, that has not been spoken before.
IL is W lllam X. ChRpMan-energe full
OF enthusiasm i'll his work, resourcefui,
capa bic in everyt hing, tireless under the
burden of the most eXacting tasks. Mr..
ChRpman's name and fame are fixed III
this community high among the things
admirable.
Wing.
There was but one expression of opinion
during and at the close of the concerts,
and that was unanimous verdict of APP
prevail and thorough enjoyment. Mr..
Chapman provided a most excellent pro-
gramme and deserves the thanks of all
music lovers.
Commercial.
Director Chapman used the baton with
customary pirit and intelligence, and his
best OF time and the finest expression.
He also played excellent accomplishments
upon the handsome Everett piano which
WAS brought to Bangor for the concerts,
for Nine. Maconda and Mr.. kronold.
