The second concert OF the Sun
set Symphony" series at the Po-
tomac Watergate last night drew
an audience larger than that Of
Sunday night. The National Sym
phony Orchestra, under the baton
Of DR.. Hans Kinder, received a
series Of ovations and the audience
was reluctant to leave even after
Strauss voices of Spring" had
been given as an encore.
The amplifier system was less
obvious last night than Sunday
night and the ensemble effect Of
the orchestra was quite we'll bal
anced; the barge was placed about
10 feet farther from the shore, al
lowing room for more canoeists to
see the stage.
While the prelude to Act 3 Of
"Lohengrin" and the overture to
"Tannhauser," provided the type
of music best appreciated by an
outdoor audience, the prelude to
Act / Of "Lohengrin" and the pre-
Jude to Act of die MeiSter-
singer" might better have been
saved for an indoor program as
the two latter are of the chamber
music type of work and lack the
stimulating rhythm to keep UP in
tereSt.
Bert Granoff, tenor soloist Of
Washington, was well received by
the audience in singing two Wag-
merriam operate arias. His voice is
clear and flexible, reaching the
high tones without effort and an
absence of nasal quality. His
voice did not register with enough
volume on the amplifier system
with the result that the orcheS-
ira sounded heavy as an accom-
paniment.
After the intermission, a most
appropriate number was given,
die Moldau," by Smetana, which
is a musical description of the
Moldau River. The acoustic
properties of the shell brought out
the frequent woodwind passages
with greater effect than when this
work was played in Constitution
Hall during the winter season.
AS Dvorak's "Humoresque" is so
commonly heard on every hand, it
takes an unusual Interpretation of
this piece to lift it out Of the COM
monplace. DR.. Kinder gave a con.
