Unknown for Years Out
side of Italy.

Aliessandro Gabrielli. soprano; Luigi
Gentili. contralto; Ezio Cecchini, tenor,
and Augusta dos Santos, basso, de-
scribed as the Slstine Chapel soloists
were heard for the first time In this
country In concert in Carnegie Hail
last evening. The chief interest for
music lovers not Influenced by regard
for the faith and traditions of the
Roman Catholic Church lay in listening
to quartet of mixed voices, all male.
Outside of Italy the male soprano and
contralto have been unknown for many
years The last of the great operate
male sopranos, Veluti, sang In London
in 1929. but the British, who formerly
adored him, had already lost their taste
for the artificial voice, which speedily
disappeared from public performances.
Put the traditions of the Schola Can
forum, founded by Gregory the Great
in the sixth century, are reserved in
Rome with pious affection, and success
sors to the Padre Rossini, the first male
soprano soloist, appointed in 1901, have
never been wanting.
The quartet heard last evening comes
with the Endorsement of Lorenzo Perozi
general director of music in the Sistine
Chapel, and doubtless bings the style
York music lovers have not now to
make their first acquaintance with the
masterpieces of the Catholic Church, but
to hear them sung by artificial male
voices is a novelty.
The singing of the quartet was inter
esting and in certain moments even Inn
presslve- The finest achievement was
the delivery of Vittoria's 20 vos omnes
qui transitis per viam," in which the
intensity of the expression, somewhat
theatrical in character, as the Sistine
style commonly Is, was noteworthy The
four voices are wanting in freshness
They show signs of long and hard
usage, and the soprano in particular Is
hard in quality.
The intonation is not fiawless and the
balance is destroyed by the heaviness OF
the tenor and the bass. But the singing
of the quartet may be regarded as a true
representation of the style now prevalent
in Rome. a style which has unquestion-
ably lost much of the chaste nobility OF
the golden age of the Schola Cantorun
and acquired in its place something oil
the eager search after effect cultivated
by long years of Italian opera.

Cortlandt is Republican by a substan-

things to elect them: First, the woman
