MUSIC.
Mr.. HamIin's Recital.

George Hamlin, skillful and finely in
formed singer, gave a recital yesterday
afternoon at the Propylaeum for the Matt
nee Musicale, which so celebrated the
twenty-fifth anniversary of it's organiza-
ton. The first part of Mr.. Hamlin's pro-
gramme was made of songs by Richard
Strauss. conductor of the Royal Opera at
Berlin, who is the most highly esteemed of
living composers, with the exception Of the
Norwegian, Edward Grieg, and the Russian,
Rimsky-Korsakoff. Strauss, besides pos
sessing an unequaled technical equipment,
is intensely sympathetic to common ex-
perience and his instinct is aggressive and
nervous. Among the six of his songs that
Mr.. Hamlin sang. Cecilia is especially
representative of Strauss power, for ii is
expressive OF a poets eagerness to deliver
his message and his passionate desire for
the understanding of a woman he loves.
Mr.. Hamlin sang this with rich tone and
vibrant enthusiasm, attaining a thrilling
climax. The other songs of Strauss he
sang were "All Souls Day." which tells
heart; an ecstatic serenade in a moonfit
garden (Op IL. No. p; "All My Thoughts,
My Heart and My Mind" TO Morrow
and Woe Is Me, Unfortunate Man" The
last-named song is quaint and droll in con-
trast to fervid meanings of the rest.
Principal in the second part of the pro-
gramme were Handlers "Where'er You
Walk and one of Tschaikowsky's inter-
pretations of a despairing mood, why Are
the Roses so Pale?" The old Handel song
Is of little more than antiquarian interest.
but Mr.. Hamlin gave ii a sentimental
value, singing ii as If 1t were a gentle,
affectionate farewell. But this miscellane-
gus group of songs. excepting the Tschai-
kowsky number seemed of slight impor-
lance In comparison TO the Strauss songs
and two humorous bits distinctly hurt the
lingering charm of the first part of the pro-
gramme.
Mr.. Hamlin's voice is full and round I'm
Its open register, and above he directs IL
so surely that the high tones come with
clarity and ease. More than his grace
or tone production, his artistic intention
Is delightful. He imparts TO the auditor
poetic insight and stirs in him livening
impulses. so serving the best purpose of
art of which the musician is capable. For
an accompanist he had Miss Eleanor
Scheib, who played with strength and con-
fidence, producing some brave crescendos
to parallel the impetuosity of the voice
and displaying the Influential piano parts
that Strauss has written for his songs
1t was an enjoyable and instructive oc-
casion, on account of which the Matinee
