1Rider-Kelsey Wins More Tributes.
2Corinne Rider-Kelsey won more tributes during the month of May. Same of them were previously published in THE MUSICAL COURIER. Others from Jersey City, Fort Wayne and Scranton, are appended:
4Madame Rider-Kelsey was the soprano. Here, too, the audience found a singer whose voice was clear and flexible and whose technic was superb. She had six numbers. Her first was Meyerbeer's "Shadow Song," a wavering, dancing piece of music that she made the most of. Three of Henshcel's songs were in her second number. MacDowell's "Long Ago," a soft, reminiscent offering, was beautifully done. Hammond's "Recompense" was her last number.—Jersey City Observer, May 9, 1906.
6Within the past two years there has come a new star in the world of concert singers. Not exactly out of the nowhere into the here, but from a position in a church choir to the foremost place in concert work, this singer has arisen. Madame Rider-Kelsey is her name. She did not come unheralded, however, to Jersey City, for months ago it was announced that she was to have part in this festival program. The people here were waiting for her, they were eager to hear her and they have watched her career in other cities. She came and she conquered last night. Fresh from her triumphs at the great Cincinnati Festival, Madame Rider-Kelsey reached Jersey City just in time for a rehearsal yesterday, and to delight all by her singing last night.
8The "Shadow Song" from Meyerbeer's "Dinorah" was her first selection. It brought out her wide range of voice and in the trills and many high notes she was simply perfection.—Jersey City Evening Journal, May 9, 1906.
10Madame Kelsey came heralded as a singer with a wonderful voice, who has won unqualified praise wherever she has been heard. Madame Kelsey has a voice which is remarkable not only for its beauty of tone, which is rich, warm and yet sweet, but for its poise. Mrs. Kelsey has just closed a long season of arduous work and her program last night did not represent anything especially heavy or dramatic, though the Hammond song, "Recompense," gave a glimpse as it were of the possibilities of dramatic force and interpretation which Madame Kelsey possesses.—Pt. Wayne Evening Sentinel, May 19, 1906.
12The Symphony Society made no mistake when Madame Rider-Kelsey was engaged, coming here fresh from triumphs elsewhere, she must be chronicled as having one of the most exquisitely perfect soprano voices ever heard in this city. With an art so supreme that art was forgotten in the joy of catching every lovely, liquid note. She sang as a bird sings, with the same rippling melodic quality, with the same sustained purity of tone. Her rendition of the MacDowell song, "Long Ago," was so delicious that one wanted to hear MacDowell speak his satisfaction.
14It was a happy thought to give a group of Henshcel songs. As an interpreter of this composer, Madame Kelsey certainly must rank very high.—Scranton Republican, May 22, 1906.
16It must be acknowledged that interest centered in the appearance of the singer of the occasion, Madame Rider-Kelsey. The artist's triumphs at some of the greatest musical festivals recently held, notably at the Cincinnati one of the first days of May, had awakened anticipation to the highest degree. From her first note Madame Kelsey held her audience rapt, and rapturous applause broke out at the close of each number. Her voice is marvelously pure and clear, with a subtle dramatic quality of expression that brings her hearers at once into sympathy with the composer as well as with the singer. It is a perfectly trained voice, even throughout its entire range, not a single note or tone lacking in smoothness or sweetness, yet with a reserve of strength and fullness indicating the reason of her magnificent successes in the grander oratorio music in which her greatest triumphs have been made.—Scranton Tribune, May 22, 1906.
18"Tannhäuser" had its 200th production at Königsberg.
20Carl Sobeski and Emilio de Gogorza.
21Carl Sobeski, the Boston tenor and teacher, is in New York for the month of June for the purpose of taking a daily lesson from Emilio de Gogorza, the celebrated baritone. Mr. Sobeski is Mr. de Gogorza's first and only pupil. The Boston singer and instructor is enthusiastic over the beauty of De Gogorza's voice and his method of singing. Best of all, Mr. de Gogorza can explain how his method is to be acquired. Every season the concert baritone receives applications from many who want to study with him, but he has no need for pupils, hence he has all along refused to teach. Somehow Mr. Sobeski, an intelligent artist and excellent teacher, appealed to Mr. de Gogorza, and so the rule of "no pupils" has been relaxed for his (Sobeski's) benefit.
23Lhevianne and the Philharmonic.
24In the battle for supremacy which will be waged so strenuously here at the opening of next season by a group of visiting piano giants, the Russian, Lhevianne, has already scored a tactical advantage through his selection as soloist for the inaugural concerts of the Philharmonic Society under Safonoff's permanent leadership on November 17 and 18. A recent announcement that Lhevianne had been engaged by the Philharmonic has already brought numerous requests for a repetition of Rubinstein's colossal E flat major concerto, with which he recorded such a brilliant success at his American debut last winter.
26Puccini's "Tosca" was given at the Brünn Opera.
