With Folk Songs.

Vladimir ResniRoff. Russian barytone,
who had been heard here this season
in q series OF three song recitals, gave
a fourth programme, which included
Russian and Siberian folk songs yes
terday afternoon in Aeolian Hall.
The recital had unique and artistic
interest. Mr.. Respikofr has had tho
misfortune to be blind since a very
early age. which may well cause as
constituent that he has been able to
acquire such considerable accomplish
ments In his chosen field. His voice
lacks certain qualities Of coloring. but
with II he is able through skill and
style to sustain interest In art songs
and to arouse even enthusiasm In the
songs of the Russian soil.
He sang Rachmaninoff's The Lord
Is Risen" With admirable feryor and
depth, and in such songs as Mons
sorgsky's Idiots Love Song" and THE
Tease" MS evident mastery OF Russian
diction and the knowledge of character
istic Russian expression gave much
pleasure. In the third group, composed
| OF Russian folksongs, the singer was
sung without accompaniment in an eff
| fective manner. Siberian tribal song
| the Prayer OF the Lamaites," was ad'
mirably given, and traditional song OF
the revolution. called "Dubinushka,'
