HOFFMAN, WELL RECEIVED
PLAYS at Symphony society's Last Con-
cert of Season Here

The Symphony Society OF New YORK
gave its farewell concert Of the season
Yesterday afternoon in Carnegie Hall.
For the occasion Mr.. Damroseh chose
the Tschaikowsky Fifth symphony, the
Emperor" Concerto. and group OF
niaro solos, the concerto and the
piano pieces being given by Josef Hof-
mann. I.,,,o,-
.l,- and the Fifth found in him a sym
pathetic spirit. The orchestra re-
sponded to its part, and the huge aud
ence received q performance OF hign
excellence. The great event OF the az
tsrnoon. however, was Mr. Hoimahh
plavine OF the Emperor"
Mr.. Holman has often played THIS
great concerto before, but never more
wonderfully than yesterday. Needless
n saw. IL was given with extraordlnary
brilIiancy. with poetic feeling, with
;ntsIlect1al mower. In fact, Beetho-
ven's "Emperorr is one Of Mr.. Hof-
mann's greatest achievements. For
sheer brilliancy Of execution i
rivals even his playing Of Schumann's
"Carnaval." Mr.. Damrosch gave him
an extremely sympathetic accompani-
ment Mr. Hofmann's solo numbers
we're Beethoven's Fury Over the Last
Penny" the Chopin Nocturne In F
sharp major, and the sehubert-Lisz'

Immediately after the concert the

YOUNG BARITONE PLEASES
Robert Hamilton. on First Public Ap-
pearsnce. Shows Much Promise

Robert Hamilton. 3 young American
barytone who. never before has ap-
pesred in public. made his metropoh-
tan debut yesterday afternoon at
Aeolian Hall. and succeeded In inter
esting 20 no mean degree an audience
OF very good proportions. Perhaps
most interesting and best executed OF
his offerings were 3 group OF songs oy
Moussorgsky. Two OF which. "Ns Dnie-
prize" and "Ozarnik.' Mr.. Hamilton
sang IN the original Russian. Into
the spirit Of these he entered most
synpathetically, and the response he
awakened was spontaneous. In the
Strauss group he was perhaps slightly
less successful. though he sang Be
frei;" and "St5ndchen" with much
taste.
Judging from his offerings yesterday
Mr. Hamilton possesses voice OF good
quality II not great power, which at
times faulty production renders
slightly throaty. Ills taste Is impec-
cable. he possesses genuine feeling,
and his musical sense is admirably de-
veloped. When his tone emission be
comes freer his voice should gain IN
sensuous appeal. lie is young artist
who Is evidently earnest and sincere,
and he should make well defined
place for himself In the ranks OF our
concert singers.
