Archibald Sessions is having most
successful trip through the north and
is receiving most f1attering comment
from the critics.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer of
March 10 speaks of the symphony con-
cert where Mr.. Sessions was soloist the
evening previous in the following COM
plimentary terms:
Archibald w. Sessions, a brilliant
young organist, was the soloist. He
played the Guilmant symphony in d
minor, for organ and orchestra, with
mastery control of the resources of
the majestic instrument at which ne
presided. He also played a group OF
organ numbers. Much musical inter-
est attached to Mr.. Sessions treat
ment of the symphonic number, as 1T
is one of the greatest compositions OF
one Of the greatest masters of all time
of organ playing and organ compost
ton, who in addition, was Mr.. Ses-
sions' teacher The organ itself so
nearly approximates the orchestra in
tone color and character that the COM
bination of orchestra and organ is I'M
usual Mr.. Sessions control of his In
strument is so good, however, and Mr..
Kegrize's own knowledge of the organ
is so intimate that there was no en-
enactment of the one on the domain
of the other. The symphony is re-
markable piece of scoring, and it was
given a reading that brought out to
its fullest and richest the inspiring
power of the full orchestra and con-
cert organ in combination
The Bessie Fuhrer string quartet
gave the first in the promised series OF
recitals yesterday Afternoon in SYM
phony hall before a small but appre-
music lovers.
The program was most enjoyable,
being we'll arranged, and evincing a
degree of attainment that speaks for
the serious purpose of the quartet and
also gives promise of fine organlza-
ton in the near future. The playing
was spirited and marked by good
phrasing and full round tone.
Besides the following program two
encores were rendered: Two novelties
for quartet, ALA Spagnuola and Inter-
ludium in Modo Antico (Glaszonow);
quartet, OPP. Is, No. 4, Allegro ma non
tanto, Scherzo, Menuetto, Allegro
(Beethoven); Serenade (Haydn);
Sraumerei (Schumann); Celebrated
Minuet (BoccherinD.
