. h a l la pin
TO Appear
Jam. q

Notable among the events Of the
musical season in San Antonio viii
be the presentation, January 4, Of
Feodor Chslispin, the famous Russian
baritone, in . twilight concert in the
Majestic theater, under the auspices OF
the San Antonio Musical Club.
When in September, 1921, Chalia-
pin secured his release from the So
Wet government for a holiday, after
seven years of appearances under va
rious governments in Russia during
wartime, he went first TO England,
where be gave several concerts before
leaving to fill engagements in Amer
lea. His recitals in London and in
the British provinces were loudly
prnised by members Of the English
press. Among others who wrote about
his singing was Ernest Newman, the
distinguished English critic, comment
ed as follows in the Manchester
Guardian:
Even those OF rs who have a
slight knowledge of the Russian Ian
guage were very glad to forget it and
give ourselves up to the sheer JOY OF
Chaliapin's singing. In the old days
what made him so remarkable was
not only the glory Of his voice, but
his extraordinary command Of it. We
have had other BASES with voices as
huge as his, but none with such power
of shading. Last night this art Of his
was as wonderful as ever; 1t really
seemed as If We had heard no real
singing since he left us in 1914.
"His art, like that of all the great
est artists, seems so simple because
it Is SO complex. Many threads have
gone to the weaving of that wonder
full texture. Every phrase, every part
of every phrase, Is modelled upon the
words. The mystery is how, with this
close fidelity to verbal liberalism, be
contrives to make his voice sing with
the freedom Of line and the infinite
variety of shading of a great instru-
mental player. He plays upon it like
an instrument; in its noble pathos
it suggests a cello"
Chaliapin is also an excellent plan
ist. He knows innumerable operas by
heart, and one of his favorite recrea-
tons is to sit at the pisno playing
over operate scores, Russian folk-mu-
sic and the many classical songs by
French, Italian, German and Russian
composers in his enoromus repertoire.
Few are aware that Chaliapin has
also mastered the violin. This inter
esting fact was discovered last sea-
son, when during the intermission at
one Of his concerts, he took up the
violin Of the assisting artist and pro-
ceeded to give q very good perform
ance, indeed. Of "The Red Sarafan,"
q popular Russian air.
