NINE. sEMBRICH's SONG RECITAL.
The New York Times OF Saturday saws
| Last wesk was lovely one In the
world of music, for it was made bright
| py the song recital Of Mime. SembriCh
| ana the concerts OF the Boston symphony
| Orchestra and MIR. Franko. Several per-
sons have expressed surprise that the
wfiters OF music were so generally agreed
| In their glowing praises OF the song re-
eitaIs of mime. Ssmbrioh. ''Does she sing
any better In q recital than In the oparar
asked one. Well, the question was NOT
quite relevant, for Nine Sembrioh wal
| praised as enthusiastically for her oper'
attic work at times as for her song recitals
| But wnsn the opela was the subject oil
| comment there were others to be mem
toned, and Nine. Sc nbrich could not
have exclusive consideration. Further
more, when o woman Is such a oonsuT
mate artist as this one she can never be
heard to such advantage in the frippery
surroundings of the slipshods sperfdrm'
ances OF opera at the Metropolitan as she
can Oh the concert platform, where hsI
| pure and lofty art can shine out in ths
sweet refuIgence OF its own briliancy IN
cIouded by any vaporous atmosphere.
| There is no need TO add anything now
to the comments made on these rscitals
They were memorable.
