working for the welfare Of the

The Philadelphia Orchestra,
under Eugene Ormandy's direction,
filled Constitution Hall last night
with most beautiful sound. The
special concert of the season was
devoted to the works of two be-
loved Russian composers. Tschai-
kowsky and Rachmaninoff, the
latter represented by his "Rhap-
sody on a Theme of Paganini," :"
in which William Kapell was the
piano soloist. 1t was program
frankly designed to appeal, yet
the audience was not of the size
the Philadelphians usually draw.
The blame for it's comparative
smallness cannot be placed either
on Tschaikowsky or the orchestra,
so it must be caused by the fact.
that the final concert of the reg
ular series will be played tonight
for the patrons who have filled the
hall to capacity during the season.
For sheer virtuosity, Mr.. Kapell's
performance of the Rachmaninoff
Rhapsody" topped any pianistic
accomplishment of the year. The
young artists technique Is not
only phenomenal but it is ac-
companied by a crystal clear, purl-
ing tone that is never harsh in
spite of the power he can put
into it. The Rhapsody" is bril-
liant and difficult but the superla-
tive efficiency of Mr.. Kapell's
equipment was ideal for bringing
out its glitter and impressiveness.
Every phrase was transparently
delivered and there was a rare
nicely in rhythm and shading.
Mr.. Kapell's extraordinary en-
dowment has been a source of great
admirations for some time. But
the awaited deepening of his talent
to more expressive ends does not
seem to be forthcoming True,
the Rhapsody" does not make
great demands on sentiment but
there are passages, mostly brief,
except for piano discourse of the
"Dies Irae" theme, where poetry
Of tonal color could give relief
and contrast to the overall bril-
liancy. Mr.. Kapell's account OF
the varied technical effects was a
delight in its ease, its shining
clarity and its buoyancy. The
addition of warmth would be well
come.
The orchestra played its part oi
the Rhapsody superbly, ever
though at moments it over
shadowed the soloist. In fact, the
entire program was a display Of
opulent tone, moving through ar
