MOHENGRIN" SUNG AGAIN
Second Performance, with Ur
lus, ODER and Fremstad.

The seasons second "Lohengrin' oc-
Cured last night at the Metropolitan OPP
era House. and II the performance was
not quite up to the level Of the opening
that level would be hard one indeed to
reach. Yet the cast was the same, and
Mr.. Urlus's Lohengrin. Nine. Fremstad's
Elsa and Mime. Ober's Ortrud were again
thrice admirable. II Is rare indeed that
two such superb singing actresses as
Mime. Frcmstad and Nine. ODER have the
chance to appear upon the same stage,
and I'm last nights second act they made
the most OF that opportunity. Their con-
trasting types Of beauty were splendidly
effective In the pathos OF the Elsa ana
the sinister power OF the Ortrud.
Mr. Urlus was I'm unusually fine voice.
and Mr. Braun and Mr.. We'll were also
very effective. II seemed a pity, how
ever. that the chorus did not at times In
its action show a more intelligent inter-
est. and IL might bc suggested That the
entrance OF IohenErin IL of interest TO
the whole audience and not solely to
those directly I'm the middle OF the orches-
ira. The male chorus last night en-
croached 80 far toward the centre of the
stage that neither knight nor swan was
visible to at least half the audience. Mr..
Hertz threw himself with herculean spirit
into the directing OF the orchestra, with
fine climactcric results.

CHAMBER MUSIC
BECOMING POPULAR
New and Old Compositions
by the Flonzaley
Quartet.

II will soon be time for some social
historian to comment on the growth OF
musical culture In New York as EVIL
denced by the attendance on concerts
which were long ago caviar to the gen
eral. OF such are a few recitals OF vocal
and instrumental music which now at
tract people who pay for the privilege OF
attendance. There are stu great many
which get audiences in the old way, which
has been compared in this journal to the
chalked rope system Of the ancient
Greeks when grave political questions re-
quired a general gathering in the mar
ket-place; but the good concerts when are
paid for now are probably more numerous
than they have ever been before. Most
gratifying to the lovers OF high class
music is the growth thus manifested In
chamber music. The time is not long
past when the chamber music room in
Carnegie Hall was too large for the Knei-
sci Quartet; now Aeolian Hall Is scarcely
large enough and the F'lonzaley Quartet
has come into a generous patronage be-
sides.
The first concert for this season OF this
organization took place last night. 1t
showed the fine qualities of the organiza-
ton in two familiar compositions
Schubert's quartet in ID minor and
Haydns in ID major generally listed as
Op. g. No. g. Between these two works
there stood suite for violin and violon-
cello by Emanuel Moor who since he
lived for space in New York has ac-
auired in London a wife, and through her
wealth an accent on his name and the
privilege Of composing music in such
quantities and in such forms as please
hin. The latter privilege was called TO
mind quite forcibly last night. Only
musician Independent Of publishers, as
we'll as public, would have been likely TO
resort to so archaic a style OF writing as
IS illustrated i'm this suite, notwithstand-
inC that he had pretty things to say and
knew how to say them right prettily.
There was no denying this. for the audi
ence recognized it despite the fact that
there was something closely approaching
perfunctorinoss in the performance by
Messrs Ponchon and d Archambeau.
OF the quartet's playing Of the Schu-
bert music it might be said. while prais-
ing its rhythmical incisiveness, ITS gen
eral euphony, that it would have echoed
more of the spirit of the composer had
there been more OF the characteristic
Viennese lit in the second subject of its
first movement and the trio of the scher.
20 Schubert never tried to deny his AUS
trianism. least of all I'm his instrumental
music, and when players leave IL out of
their performance something vital IS
misunderstanding very vital. ii. T.. Is.

Miss Carrera lacks in voice she does her
