Nine. Frijsh Pleases
Aeolian Hall Audience
Danish Soprano Gives Varied
Programme in Fine Taste

Nine. Povla Frijsh, the Danish So
prano, whose appearance last year was
remembered with pleasure, gave a re-
cital yesterday afternoon IN Aeolian
Hall. Nine. Frijsh is one OF the most
interesting artists now appearing in
the concert felc and is equally az
home in French song or German lieder.
Her voice is naturally an admirable
one, though at times in forte passages
little harsh. and she displayed re-
msrkable intelligence in her interpre-
tations, with equally remarkable emo
tiona. feeling, always controlled by
good taste. Special mention should be
made Of her exquisite singing of Cha
brler's Les Cigales,' q song she was
forced TO repeat. Her delicacy OF feel
ing was evident in RaveIs "Sainte'
and in Lekeu's "Ronde."
In the Schumann group she was
equally effective. singing with great
command Of tone color and with rare
sympathy. It is not common to ind
in American concert halls a singer so
capable Of bringing out the best both
in Gaelic and in German songs. She
was warmly greeted by an audience
which filled the hall.
