The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-19
At ST. Paul Theaters

Schubert club members listened to
an excellent programme yesterday aft
ernoon at the Odeon. The recital was
the second regular one of the season,
the programme being presented by the
active members of the club, with the
exception of two groups of songs sung
by Lewis Shave. Few singers that st.
Paul has heard have equaled and none
| has surpassed Mr.. Shawe's interpreta-
ton of songs of the ballad order, those
melodies which, because of their very
simplicity and directness, require for
their adequate Interpretation the art
that conceals art. Certainly in this
ballad class may be placed these six
exquisite poets love" songs of Schu-
mann's, I'm Wunderschonen Monat
Mai, Aus Meinen Thranen spriessen,"
die Rose" Die Lille" 'sWenn ich in
define Augen seh," I'm Rhein and ich
grolle. NIGHT, which Mr. Shave sang
yesterday. Each is a mood, poets
| mood, that the great German song
writer imprisoned in melody. AS enun-
eiated by Mr.. Shawe's cultivated bari
tone the songs lost nothing of their
subtle charm. Each Interpretation
| was quite as perfect in it's way as the
| composers conception.
Agroup of English songs, Beloved,
| 1t Is Morn Awkward; Sweetest Flow
| err" Won der Stricken, and Had a
Horse" Korkbay, completed Mr..
| Shawe's programme. DR.. Rhys-Her-
| bert was his accompanist, delight
fully artistic and sympathetic one.
| Miss Gertrude Halls brilliant piano
work was one of the attractive features
| played the Grieg concerto COP. 16),
| with Mrs. H. r. Curtis at the second
piano. No murkiness ever defaces this
Norwegian's compositions. On the con-
| trary, they are characterized by a
pellucid quality that makes them re-
semble nothing so much as a mountain
stream or forest pool. The concerto
played yesterday combines something
| of the nght-hearted freedom of the
stream and something Of the allure
ment Of the pool, and for it's adequate
presentation delicate rather than ford
tone color is demanded. This was not
| lacking in Miss Halls Interpretation
yesterday. The two movements were
beautifully played the two pianos har-
monlouSly Yoicing the fine, high sentf-
ment which the movements express.
A trio, the members of which were
Mrs. Zumbach, Mrs. Traeger and Mrs.
Thurston, sang with very good express
sion two numbers from Wagner's OPP
eras, Entrance of the Gods Into Wal
halla" Das Rheingold); and "Song of
the Water Nymphs" (Die Gotterdam-
merung; and quartette, consisting Of
Miss ZenZius, Miss Hartsinck, Miss
Hall and Mrs. Curtis, played brilliantly
