Mr.. Baughan thus sums up:
NJ safonon did not strike me as a very great
conductor If one may judge from one concert But
best efforts. and he obtained from the splendid
London Symphony Orchestra some finely sOnorous
tonal effects II one may say So he concentrates
himself on the purely sensuous aspects OF music.
He has not the finely adjusted sense Of proportion

the unhagging magnetism OF Nikisch, his

anemic IN Safononf'B conducting. All Is planned
on big Ines all Is massive, full OF energy, FIRE and

"a great artist in his way. a man OF remarkable
will power, decision and intellectual force"

doings Of the universe know that evon in the Ita-

votion to purpose. Some OF these have been men
