The violin section is especially fine,

In the matter of more abandon, the
symphony has developed greatly
since its first visit.
AS soloist, Mr.. Stewart brought
the superbly voiced Helen Traubel,
who sang so beautifully that the
delighted audience was transported.
How great is her artistry was shown
in the wide contrast of her numbers,
the two lovely Bach selections,
Come, Sweet Death" and my
Heart Ever Faithful" and the tre-
mendous "Immolation Scene" from
Wagner's "Goetterdaemmerung," all

natural, and the Wagnerian excerpt
was shorne apparently of its Difficult

blossomed out to its full power to be
