gracieuse manlere,
might so on and write the rest
OF this review i'll French with perfect
propriety as it was an entirely French
recital with the exception OF the few
Neapolitau songs, in Italian, but out
of consideration for my readers | will
use some English 1t really was a
most delightful recital these two cele-
hrated artists presented last evening.
The Auditorium held fair-sized audi
ence, which expressed the greatest
appreciation of the work of the sing
erS and of Mr., Jacques Pintel the
pianist, who contributed two numbers
and the accompaniment.
Nine. Cavalieri has never been
heard in Omaha before, and much
interest was conferred in her appear
ance Her voice is decidedly lyric in
quality, clear, sweet and very flexible,
and she sings with temperament,
artistic finish and charm which marks
each song with her own individuality
She more than fulfilled expectations
for personal beauty as well, as her
pictures do not do her justice
Nine. Cavalieri contributed four songs
to the program and in response to
applause as many extra numbers,
singing among others brilliant air
"Mephistophere' by Bolta, "Matinata"
by Tosti, the "Habanera" from Car
men" and some Neapolitan songs. OF
these "Oh Soil Mic" was sung with
the utmost taste and the singer was
recalled again and again, Her closing
number, Mari Mari" was also full of
charm, and presented most unsteady,
Muratore, whose recent appearance
with the Ellis Opera company had
established him firmly in the favor
and affections OF the Omaha music
lovers, was given veritable ovation
in his share of the program. His is
one of the greatest tenor voices be-
fore the public of the present day,
and in recital, as well as in opera, he
sings with musicianly understand
ing and artistry which clearly proves
that he has won his high place i'll
the musical world on merit.
The Time of Cherries" by Rem
ard was most delightful number,
and "Magali," which followed, was
notable for its sustained tone and
dramatic brilliancy, His aria lie
Chanson d'Ossian" from "Werther"
was given a mastery presentation,
and at the close of Neapolitan song,
CONNIE O Zuccaro," interpreted with
consummated art, Muratore received
recalls after each number and was
most generous in his encores, singing
always most acceptable songs for
them, As many as three or four ex-
ira numbers were demanded after the
Neapoltan song, which were freely
given by the artist, but many were
disappointed that the "Marsellaise"
was not among them.
Nine. Cavalieri and NJ. Muratore
sang a duet "Sous la Fenetre" by
Schumann, most successfully and re-
sponded to insistent applause with a
second one, "Au Clair de la Lune," an
old fifteenth century number most
difiealt of Interpretation for all its
simplicity.
The program presented by the ar
lists was unhackneyed and Of con-
slant interest and future appearances
in Omaha will be warmly welcomed,
Mr.. jacques Pintel presented Lists
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 8 and a
group composed of the Gluck Brahms
"Gavotte" and the brilliant and peril
