GABRILOWITSCH
And ORCHESTRA
SCORE TRIUMPH
Largest Audience of Con
cert Season Won by
Philadelphians.

Ossip Gabrilowitsch. guest con-
duCtor of the Philadelphia OrChes-
ira, was received at the New Ma
tional Theater yesterday afternoon
by the largest and most enthusiastic
audience of the concert season.
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch is known ma
tiDnally as a pianist and has gained
the admiration of the musical world
during the last three seasons
through his remarkable work in or
ganizing and conducting the Detroit
symphony Orchestra.
The program, which was well
chosen TO show the splendid work
of the orchestra, opened with the
overture to Webers ."Oberon."
"Oberon" was Weber's last opera.
months before the leath of the COM
poser.
The symphony was Johannes
Brahms No. in c Minor, Opus 6S.
This symphony is in four parts. be-
ginning with the SOstenutO, the Sol
emn prologue which was rendered
impressiveIy. This and the two fol-
lowing movements led up to the
AdaGiO prelude of the last move
ment, which concludes with a mar
tial tone, leaving the hearer with
definite sense of elation and victory.
Audience shows Appreciation.
As the program notes point out
dangerous as is the injection of a
meaning, there is probably nowhere
in music a clearer suggestion of i'm
pending victory after cropping and
striving" Artistically and emo
tiOnally, GabrilOwitsch and the or

depreciation.
At the conclusion of the symphony
the conductor was recalled repeat
edly by Outbursts of applause. which
reached a climax when GabrilO.
witsCh signaled the entire orchestra
to acknowledge the plandits.
The third number was Mendels-
sOhn's overture to "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" This overture was
completed in August. 1926, when the
composer was only IS years of age.
1t is fantastic, fairylike and draws
on the Imagination, suggesting the
well-knOwn figure of Puck" fairies
and gnOmes to even the most un-
imaginative listener. The orchestra
here had ample opportunity to dis
play fine and delicate work, with
which the audienCeAwas delighted
The program concluded with
Richard Strauss tone poem, Don
Juan" Opus 20. The subject of the
music was taken from Lenaus poem
of the same title. Here the com
poser takes the symbolic figure Of
the tickle lover to the heights and
ecstasy of love and leaves him, in
the climax, desolate and alone.
Inspired by Leader.
This was without doubt the bril-
| liant number. The audience was
| carried by the orchestra through the
varied emotions Of which the music
was so descriptive. At one time. the
wood winds predOminate in plain

| strings and harps: while later. when
! the fires of youth and desire were at

used to the greatest dramatic eff
