THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY,
EIGHTH PUBLIC REHEARSAL or
ITS SIxTY.FIRST SEASON.

Beethoven, Bruch and wagner Repre-
scnted on the Final Programme-Hugo
Herman Plays Admirably, but q
Horn Player Docs Net DO 30 Well.
The eighth and last public rehearsal OF
the Philharmonic Society took place yes
terday afternoon at Carnegie Hall The
programme consisted OF Beethoven's eighth
symphony. Max Bruch's FIRST violin con
certo, the morning dawn and Rhine Journey
from Wagner's 'Gotterdammerung,' the
same composers -Albunblatt' and
'Traume,' arranged for violin solo with
orchestral accompaniment. and the prelude
to Die Meistersinger.' The solost was
Hugo Herman, the violinist, who is now
one Of the established favorites OF this
public.
There Is nothing in this list OF compost
tons calling for comment. The simplicity
and freshness Of the eighth symphony
were In keeping with the balmy spring
weather and the music was 80 easy TO hear
that 1t was pleasing even TO the most jaded
ear. The conscript fathers did we'll to
offer such a simple and unaffected work as
the chief number Of their last concert.
1t cannot be said that the performance
was as admirable as the selection. The
plain truth is that the ancients and honor
ables OF music played as II they were weary
OF life. There was neither lightness OF
touch nor finish in their performance, and
Mr.. Damrosch did not mend matters by the
tempo at which he took the allegretto
scherzando
No doubt Mr.. Damrosch has good reasons
for reading this movement at such tempo,
but as he does not make them public it is
possible only to guess at them. DR.. Won
Bulow some years ago conducted this same
symphony in this city, and when questions
were asked as to his tempt he promptly
answered them and thereby provided some
highly interesting reading. Here is an
opportunity for Mr.. Damrosch, who is at
the end Of his first season as conductor Of
the Oldest musical body in this cohpara-
lively young town.
The wagner excerpts went somewhat bet
ter. Mr.. Damrosch managed TO move the
fathers to something like life in the Rhine
journey. and there was a certain amount of
color in the -Meistersinger' vorspiel.
But ~ would be interesting to know why
beginning Of the season was announced
as a special attraction OF the Philharmoni
Society. played 80 cheaply. In fact, he
has played badly all the season. In the
Bruoh violin concerto yesterday he actually
drowned out the soloist at times.
Mr.. Heermanns solid and manly art
was heard with delight in the Bruch con-
certo. He performed his part with ample
tone and mastery technic. and he read the
sympathetically. In short,
his Performance was that OF an artist OF
the first rank. He was applauded to the
echo and he deserved It, He played the
.wo Wagner bits charmingly and without
maudlin sentiment. Some people cannot
olay them that way.
