35Miss S. Marcia Craft, of Riverside, Cal., who has recently signed a contract with the Christian Science Church, at a salary of $1,000 a year, is a young singer of exceptional endowments, who has already won a place for herself among the foremost of Boston's singers. This is but her third winter in Boston; she came weighed down by numerous responsibilities and with a voice which demanded training in every respect. Never despondent, always courageous and determined, she put her heart in her work, and last year secured the position of soprano in the Congress Square Unitarian Church of Portland—the largest church in Maine—which she has just relinquished, to the great regret of Portland people. In concert and oratorio Miss Craft is also most successful. She studies and improves constantly, and will some day, according to the predictions of all who have heard her, become famous. She is a pupil of Charles R. Adams. Her voice is a large, full dramatic soprano of beautiful quality.
37A Chickering Musicale.
39ONE of the usual pleasant and largely attended musicales of Messrs. Chickering & Sons took place on Tuesday afternoon, December 28, in Chickering Hall. The soloists on this occasion were Miss Adelina Hibbard, soprano; Miss Jeannette Orloff, violin; Frank Taft, organ; John G. Frank, bass trumpet, and Miss Hortense Hibbard, pianist. F. W. Riesberg was at the piano.
41Decidedly the most musically feature of the program lay in the work of Messrs. Taft and Frank, who played the prelude to "Parsifal" for organ and bass trumpet and the introduction to Act III., "Lohengrin," in an exceptionally artistic and effective manner. Mr. Frank has a tone of admirable sonority and controls a large breadth of phrase with well modulated ease and authority. The organ playing of Mr. Taft in ensemble was marked by vigor and accuracy, many artistic combinations in registration and a great deal of finish. In his solos he displayed virtuosity, playing particularly well the toccata and fugue in D minor of Bach. The fugue was clearly voiced and distinct in detail. Altogether pleasant organ playing.
43Miss Hortense Hibbard was heard in two numbers of Liszt, a Mendelssohn-Liszt transcription and a little piece, "Cache-Cache," of Pierné. The latter struck the fancy of the audience, something which the predominance of Liszt failed to do. The pianist played with earnestness and a certain technical facility which did not, however, touch the rim of brilliancy at any time. Her sister, Miss Adelina Hibbard—music is evidently in the blood—sang a group of four songs, French and German, and evoked certain applause. The "Aime Moi" of Chopin was a welcome choice of song.
45Bach's "Ciaccona" was the work chosen by Miss Orloff, a very young and still short skirted violinist who has certainly a pronounced talent for her instrument and obviously musical intelligence. But the young player handicapped herself too heavily, her powers not yet being ripe enough to cope with the difficulties of a work of this nature in any satisfying degree. To choose for the concert room a task demanding such risk and effort is a mistake. The Bach "Chaconne" is inseparable from some of the greatest violinists of generations. To say that Miss Orloff made no technical slips, intoned purely and reached the close of such a composition after the manner of a conscientious student amateur is to say a great deal. Some day, no doubt, she will be able to handle her tours de force with duly convincing energy. Applause for her was abundant and, returning, she played the Rubinstein Romance, written for piano in E flat, but did not play it with much feeling.
47This was a pleasant musicale, but Chickering & Sons have had more pleasant.
