BY ALICE EYERsMAN.

The concert given by the Chamber
Music Guild in Memorial Continen-
tai Hall last night served to intro
duce the first violinist of the Guild
String Quartet, Mishel Piastro, in
the role of soloist. and present Fran
ces James, Canadian soprano, who
came as the exchange artist in the
plan arranged between Marcel An
cher, founder of the guild, and Sir
Ernest Macmillan, dean of the music
faculty of the University Of Toronto.
Although announced as a strictly
French program, 1t was In reality
Franco-Belgique, for the Belgian
composer, Cesar Franck, and his
French pupil, Ernest ChauSson, who
bore the imprint OF his teacher so
strongly, were listed together with
Debussy, whose "Ariettes Oubliees"
were sung by Miss James. The juxta-
position of these composers provided
an interesting study In temperament
and style.
Mr.. Piastro gave an outstanding
performance of Franck's Sonata in
A Major in which he had the ex-
cellent assistance of Aroad Sander
at the piano. Its striking melodic
line and dramatic climaxeS became
the right mediums for Mr.. PiaStro's
beautiful tone and vigorous tenn
perament. His just appraisal Of the
sentiment, and the power and ex-
pressiveness his mastery technique
gives him, sought every opportunity
in which this emotional work
abounds, for telling effects which he
delivered with both abandon and
conviction. If the difference between
the content of the first movement
and the following ones was not
strongly stressed, the constantly
growing drama of the work was
splendidly graSped by the two ar
lists whose ensemble showed careful
thought.
The choice of Debussy's "Ariettes
OublieeS" by Miss James was a rare
opportunity to hear these songs in
their group relationship. Consisting
of six numbers entitled "C'est l'ex-
tase langoureus." III pleure dams
mon coeur," 'L'ombre des arbres, +"
'Chevaux de bois," "Aquarelles" and
Spleen" they represent all of the
composers skill in delicate tone
painting and mood sketching. Miss
James fine musicianship grasped
the essentials thoroughly and her
sweet voice had in itself delicacy
suited to the music especially in
pianissimo effects. In response to the
audiences urging she sang Cana
dian folk song as encore
ChauSSon's Concert in D Major,
op. 81" for violin, piano and string
quartet was played by the Guild
String Quartet, with Daniel Outlet
replacing Mr. Piastro, who took the
violin solo part, and Mr.. Sander.
Although recognizable as disciple
of Franck, Chausson transcends his
Belgian master in the subtle elo-
quence of his writing in which the
French esprit is ever present. Deeply
emotional and expressing it in inf
mite variation, he combines Franck's
dramatic power with his own bril-
liant imagination.
The artists read it splendidly with
warmth and poetry. Mr. Piastros
singing tone gave 1t lush quality
