The program in part first was miscellaneous, containing the "Irish Rhapsody" for orchestra, by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford; part second was the first performance of the Irish cantata, "King Connor," by Joseph H.

31Janpolski in Many Cities.
33Engagements kept Albert Janpolski on a busy schedule during the month of April. This favorite baritone appeared in many cities East and West. Extracts from his press notices tell of recent successes in Detroit, Cleveland, Syracuse and New York City as follows:
35The Detroit Symphony Orchestra gave its final concert of the season at the Light Guard Armory Tuesday night before a very large and enthusiastic audience. The principal soloist for the evening was Albert G. Janpolski, who sang the prologue to "Pagliacci" in the first part of the program and later gave a group of three songs. His unusually agreeable baritone voice and the feeling with which he sang commanded a generous round of applause after the prologue. * * * His second numbers were even better received.—Detroit News, April 24, 1907.
37Rubinstein Club concert in Cleveland:
39Several extremely interesting numbers were sung by Albert Janpolski, baritone. * * * Dvorák's "By the Waters of Babylon" he rendered with dignity, and the Russian folksongs were exquisitely given with a delightful pianissimo and with a repressed intensity which made one feel the inarticulate love of country even behind the unintelligible words.—Cleveland Plain Dealer, April 10, 1907.
41Syracuse Liederkranz sang itself into the favor of more than a thousand people in the Alhambra last night. * * * Albert Janpolski, baritone, proved himself an artist. Mr. Janpolski has a big, rich voice, and he sings with remarkable feeling and expression. The gems of his two groups were the Russian folksongs, which he gave with a beauty of melody that was a rare treat.—Syracuse Herald, April 16, 1907.
43Albert Janpolski, the baritone, made one of the great hits of the evening with his Russian songs sung in the original tongue. He has a fine baritone voice, full of sentiment and feeling, and he was rewarded by thunderous applause.—Syracuse Post-Standard.
45Of the evening's soloists, Albert G. Janpolski, a Russian baritone, qualified most admirably. To him was allotted the vocal part of Christ. The several solos which he delivered, each having organ accompaniment, served to display to the fullest advantage a voice of great power and sweeping range, with marked sweetness of expression, and in him local oratorio—and, too, let it be predicted, operatic—circles have an acquisition. M. Janpolski's rendition of the music of Christ in the Hartmann oratorio was an appealing feature of last evening's première.—New York Evening Telegram, April 4, 1907.
47Festival concerts are being held at Reading, Eng., in celebration of the 100th concert of the Reading Philharmonic Society and the twenty-fifth year of the Reading Orpheus Society. Sir Walter Parratt, Master of the Musick to the King, will play an organ concerto in D, composed by Dr. F. J. Read, musical director of the festival. A choral and orchestral force of 250 will assist.
