Interpretation and reproduction Of
Wagnerian music is especially fine
and Bismarck people may justly look
forward to a real treat in his illustrate
ed mterpretative recital on "Parsifal'
Feb. 10 at the Methodist church.
"Parsifal," the last opera written
by Richard Wagner, and generally
considered his masterpiece, was at
the time of his death willed to the
Bayreuth opera house until 1918, so it
is just 10Y becoming public, although,
it has been produced in New York by
special permission. Most of the slides
used for this recital have been secured
direct from Germany and will repro
duce scenes from the opera as it is
given there.
Mrs. Beulah NJ. Amidon, wife Of
Judge Amid0n of Fargo, in an inter.
view said:
Professor Boehmer always gives
his recitals to packed houses in Fargo.
Not only the musicians, trained in
technique form his audiences, but all
others as well who love the beautiful
but have had no special musical edu-
cation. The talk with which Professor
Boehmer begins his evening-modest
ana simple as he makes it-clearly
sets forth the thought, the structure
and the jntricacy of the composition.
The music which follows is beautifully |
rendered, clear, exact and precise
in its reproduction. The personality
Of the performer is never allowed to
intrude between they audience and
the composer. The year 1915, the
thirteenth anniversary of Wagner's
death, is a fitting time for such a
program as Prof. Boehmer has pre-.
pared on "Parsifal" and both Fargo
and Bismarck are fortunate in their
opportunity to listen to a rendition
