65An afternoon of rare enjoyment was the recital by Johanna Gadski, at Orchestra Hall, on November 10. In a program of nineteen songs, more than half of which were repeated on the encore demand, as well as many extra numbers, Madame Gadski was, as always, one of the most artistically and vocally satisfying artists before the public. She received a great ovation on her entrance and the same enthusiasm prevailed throughout the entire program. Most becomingly gowned, "a symphony in gray," with a typical Gadski picture hat, and one of those fascinating, frivolous, little short coats of chinchilla fur and wonderful lace, she was a delight to the eye as well as to the ear. Exquisite accompaniment work was that of Frank la Forge, who, as always, played the entire program from memory, which is, after all, only as it should be.
67Madame Gadski will fill a return engagement on Saturday afternoon, February 15.
69Kubelik scored a great success at his concert at Orchestra Hall on November 14, success as an artist and as a drawing card. He played to a capacity house and was received with genuine enthusiasm. His program contained the beautiful Mozart D major concerto, the Bruch "Scotch Fantasy," and the Paganini "Witches' Dance." In all these numbers Kubelik was the veritable magician in technical mastery; and in the ethereal quality of tone and in the wonderful dexterity with which he played the harmonic passages in the "Witches' Dance" he was truly the marvelous virtuoso. A second appearance in recital will be at McVicker's Theater, on Sunday, November 17, and on November 23 he will play a matinee recital at Orchestra Hall. His last recital will be given December 1.
71The New York Artists' Quartet, composed of Corinne Rider-Kelsey, soprano; Janet Spencer, contralto; Edward Johnson, tenor, and Gwilym Miles, baritone, gave one of the most artistic ensemble concerts of the season, so far, at Music Hall, on November 13. The program consisted of several solo numbers, two duet numbers, two trios, and the popular quartet from Verdi's "Rigoletto." Seldom is such perfect blending of voices heard in concert work. Particularly interesting and well sung was the duet from Puccini's "La Boheme," by Mrs. Kelsey and Mr. Johnson. as a solo number Mrs. Kelsey sang the "Cavatina" from "Carmen" (Bizet), with great purity of tone and exquisite finish. There are few sopranos before the public today possessing the beautiful quality of tone or timbre one hears in Mrs. Kelsey's voice. Mr. Johnson's solo number, aria from Massenet's "Manon," gave his audience a fine
