7METCALFE SONG RECITAL.
9MISS SUSAN METCALFE gave her second song recital at Mendelssohn Hall last Tuesday afternoon (February 25). The young soprano again showed herself to be an artist of uncommon gifts. She sings with delightful taste, and in the matter of interpretation many older singers might learn something from hearing her.
11Miss Metcalfe's voice is sweet and sympathetic, but such a number as Schubert's "Allmacht" was quite beyond her vocal powers. The program follows:
13Il Mio Ben…………………………………………..Paisiello
14La Calandrina………………………………………Jomelli
15Bois Epais…………………………………………..Lully
16Viens Aurore……………………………………….Old French
17Stille Tränen………………………………………..Schumann one of two readings

32Hanslein willst du Tanzen………………………..Taubert
33Die Allmacht……………………………………….Schubert one of two readings
34Die Allmacht………………………………………Schubert one of two readings
36The piano accompaniments by Victor Beigel were too loud and rather monotonous. A large and distinguished audience attended the recital. Some of those who paid closest attention to Miss Metcalfe's program lamented because her list did not contain one English song or song in the English language, which is rather more to the point. As encores the soprano sang Schumann's "Frühlingsnacht," and repeated the Cradle Song by Taubert.

69Plunket Greene's Recital.
71THE reappearance of Plunket Greene here in song recitals has aroused unusual interest. His first New York recital will be given at Mendelssohn Hall, Tuesday afternoon, March 11.
73Theodore Van Yorx's "Flying Trip."
75LAST week Theodore Van Yorx, the tenor, made one of his flying trips, and sang under conditions which usually go to show that the artist has balance and poise, as well as voice. At noon, or 12:45, to be exact, Mr. Van Yorx received a telephone message from New Haven asking him if he could not take the first train out and fill an afternoon engagement with the Symphony concert given by the music department of Yale University. Miss Estelle Liebling, soprano, who was to have been the soloist, had met with an accident and would be unable to sing. Mr. Van Yorx and his accomplished wife "rushed" things at their New York home, and managed to catch the 2 o'clock train for New Haven.
77Mrs. Van Yorx played the accompaniments for the songs which Mr. Van Yorx sang at the concert, which began at 4 o'clock. Extracts from the New Haven papers will be printed next week. They are worthy of such an artist.
79SANCHEZ PUPIL SONG RECITAL.—Señor Carlos N. Sanchez presented his pupil, Otto Schubert, baritone, in a song recital at his studio, 138 Fifth avenue, on February 22. The singer was to have been assisted by Miss Johanna Reidenbach, pianist, a pupil of Gustav L. Becker, but as she was detained at the last moment by serious illness, Miss Adele Becker, Mr. Becker's sister and pupil, took her place with gratifying success.
81Mr. Schubert's most interesting numbers were the group of old Italian songs, which showed to the best advantage his purity of intonation and ease of tone production. The Brahms song and Schultz's "Ich Liebe Dich" were sympathetically interpreted. Miss Becker's playing of the Chopin Nocturne was especially praiseworthy.
