'Sinfonietta," more life was infused
into the performance Of the orches-
ira. The Roussel work is charming
with richly interviewer string tones
and gay, clever theme in the last
movement. Its shortness caught the
audience unprepared and DR.. Kind
Ter had to say That's all' over his
shoulder before the applause was
released. The composition has all
the qualities that bring q desire for
q repetition which might have been
the case last night had not the
abrupt ending disconnected the
audience somewhat.
Two excerpts from Wagner's
operas, "The Ride Of the Valkyries"
and the "Vorspiel and Liebstod"
from Tristan and Isolde" formed
a splendid finale to the program.
DR.. Kinder is at his best when
conducting Wagner and he had the
orchestra giving all that it was
capable of giving. The moving
music from Tristan" was played
with loving care and deep senti-
ment. Following after the stirring
scene from die Walkuere," it
achieved an emotional intensity to
which the audience fully responded.
The final concert Of the season
will be given Sunday afternoon
when the program will consist Of the

by Ernest Chausson and the first
performance in this city OF Albert
Roussels "Sinfonietta" for strings.
Mr.. Taylor has beautiful lyric

particularly well suited to a work
such as the 'Poeme." The tricky
rhythms and many taxing technical
passages offered no difnculties to
Mr.. Taylor, whose musical founda-

ease Of his execution and poetic
feeling for the music found many
opportunities for appreciation in
this work. A more dramatic or
passionate color might have been
added to his Interpretation, but in
the style in which he approached
the musical unfolding of the
"Poeme," he was able to bring out
all the lyric beauty of the compo-
sition with finesse and authority.
HIS success was a pronounced one
and several times the young artist
was brought out for another dem

The orchestra did not fall into its
proper stride until the second half
of the program so that the Bach
"Passacaglia and Fugue" and the
