The Wilmington flremen did not
have much TO do, for when they ar

Symphonic Suite, "Schchcrazade. =.
Rmsky- korsakoft
! The entire literature of orchestral
music offers few more attractive mum
bprs than the three which Mr.. Stokow-
ski selected for the program of the
Philadelphia Orchestra at yesterday
afternoons s concert. IL was made up OF
but three numbers. one Of Che finest
| ovcrturCs in all music. the supreme vio-
lin concerto, played by the supreme ar
tist of the present day, Fritz Kreislcr,
and what is probably the greatest of all
orchestral suites II is small wonder
that every seat in the house was sold
days before, and that tsu waiting line
extended down Broad street TO Spruce
an hour before the concert began.
The program opened with the Mozart
Don Giovanni overture, the dignity
and grandeur of which were admirably
brought out by Mr.. Stokowski in his
reading. The incisive and clear cut
beauty of the overture formed the most
fitting prelude imaginable for the two
great numbers to follow.
Mr.. KrciSler came second on the pro.
gram. lie was greeted with the wild
acclaim which he always descrvedly in
spires in Philadelphia, and it was sew
eral minutes before the orchestra was
able to begin the long prelude of the
Beethoven concerto. MIR. Krcisler'S in
depreciation of the great work was one
Of the finest things he has ever done in
this city. lie played it with n breadth

well as with u revcrcnt understanding

in its technical demands, for there are
many conCertos far more difficult in this
respect, but in the infinitely harder task
of Interpretation. That Mr.. Krcisler
met the immense demands of the con-
certo goes without saying. There are
many violinists who can play the notes
of the Beethoven concerto; there are
few who can play IL as music.
Mr.. KreisIcr has made some changes
in his reading of the first movement
since he last played the concerto here
the most noticeable being decided
slowing of the wonderful G. minor
phrase. which lie formerly played with
n noticeable broadening of style anil
tone, but with little change in the ac
tual tempo. Krcislcr can do this with
out the slightest suggestion Of affccta-
tiOn, because there is none in his =
ing he intcrprets the music for its own
sake and as he feels il. The slow
movement he played with great beauty
of tone and with an admirable reserve
in the use of the greatly abused porta-
mento and tremolo effects. The last
movement was model Of sprightly but
tempered playing. the whole being Il
