New Haven Symphony Orchestra Con
cert.
The last Of the series of six concerts
this season by the New Haven Sympho-
my orchestra was given at the Hyperion
yesterday afternoon. 1t opened with
the Haydn symphony in G major, No
10, B and H. In accordance with the
period when Haydn composed music,
this symphony Is scored for a very
small orchestra and the main strength,
therefore, lies chiefly in the efficiency
of the string orchestra. 1t was a task
upon the part Of the local orchestra to
do justice to the symphony on this very
account. AS the demand upon the
strings Is SO very great the work per-
formed by the orchestra being so excel
lently done, showed at once the efficien-
cy of the stringed choir, while the other
accompanying Instruments, such as
flutes, oboes, bassoons French horns
and trumpets, were played in must
cian-like manner. The reading of the
score by the conductor and the spirit
that was infused into the players
brought forth most beautiful and po-
etical picture of that lovely composition
of Haydn. The charm that lies in this
symphony touches every mood of the
human heart, both as to its pathetic
and humorous elements. The audience
must have enjoyed it greatly, to Judge
by the rapturous applause given the or
chestra.
The second number on the programme
was Camille Saint-Saens, a concerto for
violin and orchestra, op. g. in b minor,
and was rendered by Timothee Adam
owski, the famous violinist of the Bos-
ton Symphony orchestra. This compo-
sition belongs to the French school and
aspires in it's tendencies to great bril-
liancy in the solo part, while the or
chestral accompaniment is richly en-
dowed with an orchestration that Is
warm and versified in Instrumentation.
This peculiar construction Is entirely
novel and shows the mastery knowl-
edge of the composer of the capacities
Of the violin as an instrument, also the
great knowledge in extracting delight
full harmonies with Kaleidoscope col
oring which is not even excellend by
Wagner. A composition of such artis-
tic nature, one that is full Of melodic
flow or architectural structure In form,
as we'll as of refined and polished
rythm--it cannot fail to impress the
study listener as a most delightful and
musical excitement, but
when the solo part Is performed by an
artist as Is Mr.. Adamowski such per-
Torrance must ever be remembered.
The artist showed at once his perfect
control over his instrument as to the
great technical difficulties contained IN
The work, but when there Is added
most subtle and elastic tone, one that
comes from the inmost soul, full Of
ooetical expression and highly musical,
he artist cannot help but to enter into
he hearts of his audience. Mr.. Adam
,wski did all this, and even more, as
was shown by the ease and modesty
With which he performed his task
His rendition OF the concerto brought
