close worthily in a concert by the Pitts
burg orchestra. For some time this
great event has been in doubt, but ar
rangements have been closed to bring
Mr.. Paur and his orchestra here for the
closing concert of the season, which will
be given in the Auditorium May II.
Nine. Gadski will be the soloist.
Minneapolis admired Nine. GadSki be- |
fore her appearance with the local or
chestra and welcomed her warmly, but
her song Interpretation simply carried
her audience away here as it had done
earlier in the season with great. audi
ence in st. Paul. In is largely owing to
. the eager desire to hear Nine. Gadski
again that this concert has been ar
ranged.
With the double attraction of such
soloist and the transformed orchestra
under the direction of Emil Paur, this
concert will rank with any event of a
notable season. Paur is easily the great
est European conductor now in America
and his success this season with the
Plttsburg orchestra is a fine evidence OF
his ability Both from an artistic and
popular standpoint the orchestra has
had the most brilliant season in its his
tory. He has brought them completely
under his control and sways them as one
man, fundamental requirement for a
great orchestra and one that proclalms
the greatness Of both master and men,
-
mind and the players the receptive quail
ity which enables them to express his
thought perfectly in their rendition.
Mr.. Paur is not only a great con-
ductor but piano vlrtuoso and sololst,
and he is alternating with Nine. Gadski
as soloist of the spring tour. His train
ing for his work has been very complete.
He began his musical study on the vio-
lin in his home in Pesth, and later went
to Vienna. At an early age, he became
first violin in the Vienna Royal opera
house. He was ambitious to become a
conductor, and after trying his wings
went to Berlin as a pupil Of Hans Won
Buelow and assistant conductor of the
orchestra with him. He directed the
court orchestra at Mannheim for nine
years and then succeeded Nikisch at
the Stadt theater in Leipsic. In 1898
as conductor of the Boston Symphony
orchestra At the death of Anton Seidl
he was called to New York to take up
the baton with the Philharmonic orches
ira.
