MUSIC.
THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.

1t is gratifying to note the achievement OF a
nne success by the Philharmonic Society yester-
day at its seventh afternoon concert, without the
aid Of adventitious circumstances OF any sort or
any features which appealed TO the popular love
for sensation. It may have been due TO the alb
sence of these things that the applause was
decorous only not frenetic, as II has been at times
OF late when temperance of utterance was thrown
TO the winds. and the sweet, purposes of COM
posers hung
like a drunken sailor mast
Ready with every nod 10 tumble down.
But that did not matter; the best of the music was
delightful and Mr. Safonon and the orchestra gave
1t a delightful performance. The greatest surprise
came from Mendelssohn's italian symphony.
whose spirit Of gayety the conductor appreciated
to the full and succeeded in bodying forth without
a single infusion of that Muscovite wildness which
might have been apprehended. His extremely rapid
tempo caused little burring of the wind parts In
the whrl Of the final Saltarelo but the first move
ment, which even less orthodox was carried
through with amazing dash and brilliancy. Here
the Philharmonic strings fairly eclpsed themselves
1t is an old matter that they should win praise
ior their stout mUscularity. but without loss
OF this they were surprisingly delicate. elastic and
precise in their proclamation Of happiness and In
noceut hilarity. Their weight and capacity Of
tragic utterance, like that of all the other choirs in
the band, came out eloquently in the deeply mel
ancholy music Of Schumann's overture TO MAN
fred. with which the concert opened, and, many
time before. in the third 'Lenore' overture by
Beethoven, with which the concert closed. The
least satisfactory number of the scheme the
pianoforte concerto by Grieg the poetry OF which
and much Of its merely sensuous beauty fed before
the ragged and immature performance which the
solo part received at the hands Of Nine. Samaroh.
