The Cadski Recital
BY Arthur Z. Wesbreek.

/
Thursday evening, Nov. IL, at the
Pinney theater the Boise Choral So
ciety, in presenting Madam Gadski, in
augurated its public musical activities
for the season.
The gifted singer arrived early
Thursday morning, coming from Spo-
kane, together with her accompanist,
Edwin Schneider, and her beautiful
| young daughter, Miss Lolita Tauscher.
After a few hours rest Madam Gadski
| received a number Of callers during
the afternoon and all found the artist
to be a most delightful and gracious
| woman.
Regal in bearing and mien. queen'y
in her absolute dominance and control
! Of her audience, and superb AZ always
in the marvellous command Of every
phase of her art-of every sense and
emotion to which music finds thrill
and response in the human heart
Madam Gadski marked a period and
stamped with her magnetic person
atty distinct musical event in her
song recital Thursday evening. Madam
Gadski was in good voice. to which
was added a supefabundance, one
might say, of that heart winning per.
sonal quality which is hers, and hers
alone, of all the great galaxy Of world
artists OF which this generation has
any knowledge. 1t Is pleasure to say
that this concert was well patronizcd
and a reception seldom given in Boise |
to any singer was given to Madam
Gadski as she appeared for her first
number.
l grieve that paucity of knowledge
forbids an accurate description Of her
exquisite gown; suffice it to say that
from masculine viewpoint, her gown
was everything that perfectly charm
ing gown should be.
Her first group Of songs were sung
in her native tongue. and we're from
Brahms, Wolf and Strauss. In the
Strauss group were "Meinem Kind"
(My child and Rue Meme Seele"
Crest My SouD sung with all delicacy
of shading and in tones of caressing
sweetness. In response to the encore
she gave with all the dramatic fire
and intensity which that classic de-
mands, the well known and much be-
loved Schubert Erllling. She sang this
fearfully realistic number with tre-
mendous and compelling effect, leaving
as may be expected an impression not
quickly to be forgotten. as her inter-
probation was short Of wonderful.
With characteristic generosity Mad
am Gadski always insists that upon
each recital program given in America
there shall be a group of songs by r
American composers.
Accordingly her second group was
formed of five English songs compar-
atively new in this city, two of which
were composed by her accompanies.
Edwin Schneider. The lyric work
which the singer did with these songs.
the Schneider Tn the Tree
Top High" which is the more artistic
of the two Schneider songs, would
alone place Gadski on a pinnacle oe
art.
For encores after her English group,
Gadski sang annie Laurie" and THE
Little Irish Girl' by Lohr, the former
given with such depth of feeling and
such caressing tenderness, that the
audience paid her the supreme tribute
Of absolute breathless silence Of several
seconds before it voiced its appreci-
alton by applause.
The program closed with two italian
arias and Wagnerian aria. Her clos
ing encore was 1.-The Battle Cry from
the Valkyrie, and Gadski so took her
audience by this number that she had
to repeat it.
Madam Gadski was delighted with her
enthusiastic audience.
