Concert Monday Night.


Tho final concert in the Philadelphia
Orchestra series in Wilmington will be
given next Monday evening. Edward

Brahms, the other orchestral numbers
being the "Coliolan,1a" Overture OF Bee
thoven and three selections from la
Damnation de Faust of Bcrlioz.
Under Mr.. Stokowskis inspired dircc-
tion, a Brahms symphony becomes n
masterpieces of glowing beauty. Perhaps
nothing illustrates more strikingly Mr..
Stokowski 8 amazing versatility and catho-
bcity of taste than his ability TO interpret,
with equal facility and inspiration, the
works Of such strongly contrasted COM
posers as Brahms and Tschaikowsky.
And yet he has achieved an enviablc
reputation for his interpretations of
both composers.
Brahms second symphony, unlike the
first, is characterized by checrfulncss and
an almost pastoral simplicity. Itisintercst-
ing because Of the beauty Of its themes,
the strength of its contrasts, the sustained
character Of the various movements, and
the unity of the work, secured by that
contrapuntal skill which Brahms so often
displays in his compositions.
Edward Jankow, the soloist Of the oc-
casion, ia mn artist of rare achievement.
James Gibbons Huneker, the eminent
critic, spoke in terms Of the highest praise
of him in the course of an article on THE
New York Voice" which appeared re-
Gently in the New York Times. He said:
II may testify that never in my life have
/ heard such rich, resonant, musical and
powerful bass voice ns MIR. Lankow $.
