Brothers Figueroa
Make Formal Bow
In Statler Recital
By ELENA DE SAYN.

Two talented Puerto Rican BROTH
ers, Jose and Narciso Figueroa
made their formal bow to the Capt.
tai last night at the Presidential
Room of the Statler Hotel. A dis
tirguished audience, headed by
many ENJOYS from Latin American
countries, gave them a cordial re-
ception and applauded until each
Of the soloists contributed several
encores to the program.
Although young in years they are
already mature in accomplishment
and experience. Winner Of singular
honors and prizes in their native
country and on the European con-
tinent, the brothers made place
for themselves in the United States,
Jose having joined Leopold Stokow-
skis newly organized City SYM
phony as first violinist and Narciso
having acted as pianist and accom-
panist to several soloists of note.
Admirable teamwork was dis
played by the two young artists in
Vivaldi's Sonata in A Major" and
in the piece de resistance Of the
evening, Beethoven's Sonata in A
Major, Op. A." dedicated to Kreut-
zer. In this fine and resonant
violin tone, an impeccable intonatior
and feet technique of fingers and
bow were matched by Narciso's flex.
ible wrists which coped admirably
with the difficulties of the piano
score with the poise of a veteran
After the intermission the young
pianist had an opportunity to dis
play his individuality and style in
four selections by Spanish COM
posers. He played Granados poetic
THE Lover and the Nightingale, -
Albeniz rhythmical Ed Puerto"
and '.Almeria" and the Falla's popu-
lar Ritual Fire Dance" with that
inimitable pulse which lends char
acter and native color to the works
La Fontaine d'Arethuse" by
Szymanowski, Milhaud's "Sumare,
Kreisler's "Siciliano and Rigaudon'
and Saint-Saen's "Rondo Capric-
cioso" for violin and piano, brought
the recital to a successful close. A
few words should be said about Mr.
Figueroa's American-made violin
the wood of which comes from the
Smoky Mountains of North Caro-
lima. Made in Asheville by c. A
Mertzanof from pre-aged wood
after Stradivari's pattern, the vio-
lin is unusually responsive and even
in all registers, boasting of a clear
tone and harmonics. If it has not
as yet acquired that Soul" which
makes it the sensitive counterpart
OF the player it can hardly be ex-
pected from an instrument which
was put together as recently a.
| three months ago.

BY ALICE EvERSMAN.


The presentation last night OF
Honegger's King David together
with Debussy's The Prodigal Son
by the Washington Choral Society
at Constitution Hall proved to be
one of the musical events of the
season. The contrasting works by
the French composers are of such
calibre as to rank with the master
works of the classic writer's as ex-
ample of religious drama expressed
with depth and power. In Honeg-
gers King David" the modern
idiom is particularly adaptable to
the description of the virile story
while The Prodigal Son" reveals a
youthful Debussy of melodic capac-
tiles at complete variance to his
later style.
What may be considered the most
ambitious program undertaken by
Conductor Louis Potter was present.
ed with conspicuous success. Aided
by soloists of note, including Maxine
Stellman and Donald Dame of the
Metropolitan Opera, Henriette Bag
ger Plum, contralto of this city, and
Robert Nicholson, Australian bari
tone, the society gave splendid
performance of the difficult scores
that set tests for musicianship, die
ton and intonation. Augmenting
the choral group and having its own
solo appearance in three short
choral numbers was the Army Music
School Choir, william Strickland,
director.
The work that won for Debussy
the Prix de Rome after several
failures. has but slight relationship
to the tonalities that brought him
undying fame in 'Pelleas ct
Melisande" and his popular piano
compositions. The same poetic
