N MUSIC.
Il Metropolitan Concert.

Last nights popular concert at the Metropol-
itan Opera House differed from its predecessors
In, that an important place in the programme
was given up to instrumental solo. The
feature was somewhat in the nature of gratu-
ity, since the management allotted and the ar
lists gave the usual more than generous guam
tty OF music, and the audience exacted and got
as much more. Mr.. Conried's people were Nine.
Ackte, Miss Fremstad. Miss Alten. Mr.. Goritz
and that prime favorite of Sunday night audi
ences Mr. Plancon, who, it seemed might have
filled the greater part of the evening without
satisfying all his admirers. As il was, he sang
his set piece (the drum majors air from Am
broise Thomas's lie Cid'D. supplemented it
of Faust" and to that added the inevitable
"Grenadiers," by Schumann. Nine. Ackte
called on to repeat portion Of the jewel song
from Faust" and Miss Fremstad, after Verdfs
splendid air 20 don fatale," gave the seguidila
from Carmen" Mr.. Goritz won hearty favor
with the Toreador song from the same opera,
and new German drinking song composed by
Paul Miersch. the first violoncello player OF the
orchestra.
The instrumental solo performer was David
Sapirsten, lad of fifteen years. pupil of Mr.
August spanuth. who played Chopins pianoforte
concerto in E minor with remarkable technical
brilliancy and no mconsiderable beauty of tone
and elegance of taste. He is a youth of sturdy
build, and nothing about him suggested the
prodigy, all the elements Of his performance be-
ing sound and mature. 1t seems likely that his
is talent that will have to be reckoned with

ysAYE AT CARNEGIE MUSIC HALL.
He Gives His Second Recital, Accompanied
by New-York Symphony Orchestra.

NJ. Ysaye attracted large audience to Carnegie
Music Hall yesterday afternoon. where he gave his
second orchestral recital OF the season. accom-
panied by the New-Yorz Symphony Orchestra, wal
ter DamrOsch conductor The first number the
programme was Baehs concerto for violin in ( fiat
major. No. 2 with accompaniment for orchestra
and organ. 1t Ysaye's intention follow
promptly with his second number. but so many peo-
pie who had arrived late and had been waiting i'm
patiently for an opening surged forward for their
seats that the virtuoso had TO wait. violin in hand,
until he looked considerably bored. After a long
period of hustle. which several rappngs of the
leaders, baton failed to quel the violin
in minor by Vieuxtemps started, although
the first few bars could hardly be heard The third
number aroused great enthusiasm and the audience
recalled Ysaye five times to the stage 10 bow his
thanks. This was the Wagner -Wilhelnj "Parsifar'
paTaphrase Mr.. Damrosch's orchestra followed
with the familiar but eVer-stirring Ride of the
Nalkyries." by Wagner, and Ysaye brought the
performance TO a close with Max Bruch's Fantaste
on Scottish airs for violin and orchestra
There was a distressing amount of coughing in
the audience from start to finish. 1t is a matter
for speculation whether any NewYork music lover
ever rose to such height of sefabnegation to stay
away from q hrst class concert because Of having
a cough which he knew could not fail to spoil
many Of the softer passages for those sitting
him.
