lery at Casa Morisca, the home Of sir.
and Mrs. Fisher This time the artist
was Michele Giovacchini, an operate
baritone of considerable distinction.
"Sr. Giovacchini introduced himself
through the medium of the familiar
prologue TO the opera "Pagliacci' by
Leoncavallo. The Interpretation was
a happy one. The singer was not only
thoroughly at home in the selection
but put q certain human element into
II that made IT SAY something"
This. indeed. might be said of the en-
tire program
'Sr. Giovacchini possesses a large
baritone voice which Is rich In quality
and resonance. He uses Il with ex-
ceptionally good judgment and has the
ability to blend well the head and
chest registers. His pianissimo work
Is delicate and his uttermost dynamic
efforts never rasp. One of the most
pleasing features OF his work Is his
absolute fidelity 10 pitch The pro
gram was q long one and much harder
to sing than had the performer been
appearing Ia performance of an OPP
cratic production. To be able to sing
complete program OF numbers be-
speaks great credit for the perform
ance OF the singer as well as indicat-
Ing o large operate repertoire.
Too much credit cannot be given
to Prof. Mario Hediger, who presided
at the piano. Sr. Hediger came up
from the city late this afternoon to
appear with Sr. Gioyacchini and had
no opportunity whatever for rehearsal
and, IN fact much Of the music was
totally new to him. AS result. be
