DAMROSCHGIVES
PROGRAM Of
WAGNER
N. Y. Symphony, Under Vet
eran, introduces Madame
Moreno at Polls
By FRANK l.. BAER.

A full Wagnerian concert is rath-
er taxing, to say the least, and
despite the seriousness Of Doctor
Walter Damrosch and the amazing
ensemble effects achieved by the
New York Symphony Orchestra I'M
der his direction, Polls yesterday
afternoon did not enliven the emo
lions of this critic.
Doctor Damrosch, student that
he is-and especially on the Wag-
merriam legend-mixed his menu
badly. 1t creaked in its ponderosity.
Though the quarrel, after all, must
be. with Richard Wagner, rather
than with the conductor, for the
music, duh and too overwhelming
in its structure was superbly in
terpreted by this veteran of or
chestral conductors.
However, it must have enchanted
worshippers Of Wagner.
Opening with the "Tannhauser'
overature, Damrosch followed with
Elizabeth's from Act Two, sung
with some skill and vocal erectness
by Mime. Berta Moreno, who has re-
turned from Germany to reallign
herself with the Metropolitan as a
guest star.
Rather Inept Number.
The scherzo from the amatuerish
Symphony in c should have been
eliminated. It Is bold in outline,
but without musical distinction.
Wagner in his youth was concerned
with technique not tOnal or har-
| monte coloring. 1t bespoke youth
and experimental effort. Good for
the fiend for VAgnerian in music,
but bad concert material.
Damrosch followed this early
work with the Prelude" to and the
Dance of the Apprentices" from
The Meistersingers."
Here we get Wagner in a lighter
| mood, and the orchestra played
them with unexcelled effect, though
Damrosch in his direction failed ut
terly to make them more than
academic tnterludes in a program
that flashed at times. The dance
Is striking in continuity. It has a
lame tilt. And not a dance at all.
In her two songs, "Schmerzin" and
Traume," Madame Moreno was at
her best. She gave them no out.
0SNANAA6 COAIAAS uO4IlS LA1GIu III TYPICAL
Germanic fashion, with theatrical
gesture and much facial display.
Then "Parsifal."
High Spot ON Program.
In Damrosch's own arrangement
beautifully played, and with ethereal
majesty. The tonaI hardness Of Wag-
ner materially softened here; the or
chestra seemed to appreciate the
spirituelle nuances hidden in the
massive score and emphasized them
delicately. A thoroughly enjoyable
rendition.
In conclusion the eminent doctor
selected the prelude to Tristan and
Isolde" and the finale, which per
mitted Madame Moreno to sing the
difficult ''Liebestod." Orchestrally,
the Damrosch direction was at its
best at this point. Madame Moreno
Gid only moderately well, sacrificing
emotion for a rigid pose she insisted
upon maintaining throughout her
vocal tour.
To reiterate, full Wagnerian at.
fair Is not without it's annoyances.
One wants relief-say a snatch OF
Debussy-after thu ee successive
Wagnerian ensemble effects.
