OPERATED TONE

BY DAMROSCH
Singing Of Quartet Pleasing In
novatlon In orchestra's
Wagnerian Program.

One Of the surprising things about
the all.Wagner program Of the New
York Symphony Orchestra yesterday
was the exquisite and pure melody Of
the music. Again one must call Wal.
.er Damrosch the eminent wagnerian.
not for the emotional heights of
Stokowski. but for his most evident
and sincere love for the themes OF
these music dramas and fnr the purity
of his development of them through
)ut these opera scores that have been
1rchestrated by a supreme master Of
the orchestra, Richard Wagner.
Where is the noise and cacophony
so much turmoiled about? The return
of an all.Wagner program to our mod
ern ears brings. under the revealing
touch OF DR.. Damrosch, quite the most
complete speech OF the instruments Of
the orchestra in all their many stages
OF dramatic meaning. For in Wagner
story and scene, human emotion and
natures marvels are painted marvel
ously by his tone palette. And for one
who feels keenly the mental states Of
this psychological music the program
was most happily chosen.
As a delightful innovation, DR.. Dam.
rosch brought a bit Of the real operas
into his symphony concert by giving
some Of the "Rhinegold" scenes with
quartet Of voices, and also the
"Wotan's Farewell" from the oval
kure," splendidly sung by Fred Pat
ton. The Rhinemaidens were a most
effective trio of voices. with Henrietta
Conrad. the dramatic soprano. Rachel

laughter was joyous caprice i'm har-

were variously seductive. Woglinde.
stately and commanding; Welgunie,
quite "the DESTROYS" with fresh beauty
Of voice, and Flosshilde disclosing a
depth and lure in her warm tones.
The Wotan of Mr.. Patton in the two
scenes from "Walkure" was nobly con-
ceived and given with fine. full voice
and splendid fervor. Such declama-
