relatively unknown actors Sydna

the roles of foreign correspond

The occasion provided the oppor-

several works by composers, some
of whom are presently active in
directing the musical life OF Israel,
and four of the lovely songs
created out Of a peoples suffer-
ings.
Cantor Barkin, whose voice is
one of the finest in the city, scored
a triumph with the presentation
of the vocal numbers. The fearful
quality. so often sought for by
Italian tenors, is in his voice by
nature although never used with
exaggeration or willfully to pro-
duce an effect. It is the perfect
medium for the moving sentiment
of the Roitman-Binder Rachel
Weeps For Her Children" and
Lows "A Plea to God" These are
more than songs. both as to their
length and content, and beautiful
in their emotional intensity. Can
tor Barkin's healthy, easily pro-
duced voice scared to the heights
in the latter number. with excep-
tional clarity and firmness. Chajes'
"Adarim" and Miners I'm the
Classroom" were his other selec-
tions of special interest to his
audience. His vocal control and
finished delivery, gaining greater
freedom in the mighty "A Plea to
God" won him several recalls to
which he finally added an encore.
The orchestrations of hts songs
were made by Warner Bass, whose
notable. overture. Song of Hope"
opened the program. 1t is a
powerful and challenging work
built around the national anthem.

orchestra and his fine sense of
musical architecture was employed
with a sure hand in this compel

the colorful accompaniments he
arranged for the songs. The COM
poser was present in a box to
hear this first performance Of his
overture in this country. Mr..
Mitchell led the National Sym
phony musicians in a fiery read
ing Of the difficult score.
The orchestra gave also the first
performance in America of o.

and the local premiere to Marc
