The Riedelsberger string quartette, as
sisted by Miss Clara Williams, of Min
neapOlis, soprano, and Miss Ella Rich
ards, pianist. presented a brilliant pro.
gTamme last night at the Schubert musi-
Gale given in RaudenbuSh hall The
quartette, consisting of Carl Riedels-
berger, first violin; Arthu Bergh second
violin; Louis Mari, viola. and William
Geist cellist, was especially happy in
the selection of its numbers last evening.
The thorough and musicianly work OF
each member of the quartette was par
ticulaTly noticeable and an admirable
unity which has heretofore not always
characterized its work was observable i'll
all its interpretations last night. Par
ucularly interesting was the quartette
arrangement by DostenaY, with piano ac-
Compartment. The four movements are
full of fine melody with an underlying
seriousness that speaks now and then
in grave passages. The gayety of the
allegro movement is contrasted delight
fully with sweet and sad adagio which
DRIFTS into the fanciful menuet the
whole ending with rather turbulent
finale
Miss Richards work at the piano was
decidedly brilliant. It was characterized
by far more individuality than usually
marks an accompaniment of that sort,
and Miss Richards technique was as
usual admirable. The Quartette also
played an arrangement for strings writ
ten by Bazzini COP. 75) and Godard's
light and graceful Minuet Mr. Riedels-
berger played variations by Hubav on
Bizet's themes from Bizet's Carmen.
His solo work is clever and brilliant ana
he was warmly applauded last night.
Miss Williams, the soprano soloist sang
the recitative and aria, Lushinghe, pin
care from Hdnders "Allesandro;'' Saint
Saens' Air de Beatrix'' and Bemberg's
Tl,o1,
fine and flexible soprano with a marked
contralto coloring. The lower tones are
especially good in fact, while the range
is not remarkable all the tones are even
and full. 1t is voice that has no frayed
edges, and while not dramtic has we'll
trained eXprCssiveness which does much
20 conceal any emotional lack Mrs
Vienna Neil Conner was the accompanist
