1London Recital by Kirkby-Lunn.
3Madame Kirkby-Lunn, who arrived last week and made her first appearance Sunday last at Carnegie Hall with the Volpe Symphony Orchestra, will remain in America throughout February and March, touring the Middle West and East in a series of orchestral appearances and in recital. She comes to America under the management of Loudon Charlton.
5A few days before sailing for this country Madame Lunn gave a recital in Bechstein Hall, London, upon which the London press commented as follows:
7It afforded another example of the versatile art of this gifted singer. Her interpretations of classics from composers such as Brahms were full of emotional beauty tempered by artistic restraint.—Daily Chronicle.
9This recital showed that this talented singer, who has made such a big reputation on the opera stage and in oratorio, must now be counted among the few lieder singers who have temperament and intelligence. It is to be hoped that Madame Kirkby-Lunn will give more recitals.—Daily News.
11That the art of Madame Kirkby-Lunn is most attractive was proved by the enormous audience which more than filled Bechstein Hall. Enthusiasm reigned, and for once it was not misplaced. In one respect especially Madame Kirkby-Lunn set a fine example to her conférences, namely, in the clearness of her diction, whatever the language used.—Telegraph.
13Madame Kirkby-Lunn is one of the fortunate artists whose recitals appeal with equal force to every class of concert goer. Musicians are attracted by an admirable selection of songs sung with faultless beauty of tone and unerring taste, while to the public generally her singing appeals with striking force.—Daily Graphic.
15Madame Lunn sang as beautifully as ever and the large audience was delighted. There is no need at this time of day to enlarge upon the remarkable quality of her voice or the extreme skill with which she uses it. These are indisputable facts.—Pall Mall Gazette.
17Sulli's Bridgeport Class Recital.
19Masonic Temple was filled on Friday evening, February 4, with a most enthusiastic audience when the most advanced pupils of Giorgio M. Sulli's Bridgeport class gave their semi-annual song recital. Mrs. Philip Weidenhammer (soprano), Mabel Bump (mezzo) and Elizabeth Spencer (alto) sang the trio from "Carmen." The solo by Miss Bump was sung in fine voice, repeating the success she scored with this part at Sulli's recital in New York last month. The air from "Eli" (Costa) was well rendered by Charles Wheeler (baritone). Lillian Kelley (dramatic soprano) sang "Tender Ties" with expression and feeling. Mrs. C. W. Phillips (alto) gave an air from "Nadeshda" in her usual style and voice. Nanchen C. Adams (lyric soprano) pleased the audience with "I Sent Up My Heart to Thee" (Mrs. Beach) and "Damon" (M. Stange).
21The success of the evening was scored by Lena Mason (coloratura soprano), delighting the audience so well with the recitative and cavatina from "La Sonnambula" that she was obliged to respond to an encore, rendering Strauss' "Voci di Primavera." The trio from "Aida" was especially well sung by Judith Landberg (soprano), Elizabeth Spencer (alto) and Elliott Curtis (tenor).
23The second part of the program was opened by Lealia Joel Hulse (alto) singing "Cavatina" (Raff-Bina), with Leslie Vaughan, violinist. Irene Cremin (lyric soprano), a new pupil, sang "Carmena" (Wilson) with a great deal of expression. "The Trumpeter" (Dix) was well sung by Stanley Beans (bass). The cavatina from "Semiramide" by Mrs. P. Weidenhammer proved a very enjoyable number.
25Mrs. Hulse sang Haydn's "Spirit Song" and Judith Landberg (dramatic soprano) gave an aria from "Aida." The last number, the sextet from "Lucia," sung by Miss Mason, Miss Bump, L. A. Edwards, Edgar Webster, Jr., Charles Wheeler and Mr. Beans, concluded one of the most brilliant recitals of the season and was a most artistic exhibition of Sulli's teaching.
27Music in Hartford.
29HARTFORD, Conn., February 2, 1910.
31January 24 the Hartford Philharmonic gave the third concert of the season and an especially pleasing and pretentious program was rendered, reflecting great credit upon the conductor, John Spencer Camp. Ada Sassoli, the well known harpist, was the assisting artist, and her playing was much enjoyed.
33Next Friday evening Margaret Keyes appears in recital at Unity Hall under the auspices of the Musical Club, a large audience being assured, as the house is sold out.
35Gallup & Co., have been singularly fortunate in securing Kirkby-Lunn as the soloist for the next Boston Symphony Orchestra concert, February 28.
37The Musical Club announces the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Dolmetsch for February 15.

41FLORENCE NOTES.
43FLORENCE, Italy, January 20, 1910.
45The new opera company at the Pergola opened most brilliantly and successfully. Donizetti's "Marie de Rohan" was given on the opening night with the great Italian baritone, Mattia Battistini. Nothing can be said too much in praise of this wonderful artist. His voice is still beautiful and his emission perfect. It is the real pure tone of the old Italian school.
47Mignon Nevada, daughter of Emma Nevada, made her début here in the "Barbière." Her singing is the old Marchesi school at its greatest perfection. Her voice is lovely and melodious and her high tones float like crystal bubbles. She took the house by storm and had to repeat the great aria three times amid yells and shouts of admiration. She has a great future ahead of her.
49Harold Bauer gave two most successful recitals. He is a great favorite in Florence and his concerts are always packed.
51Albert Spalding, the young American violinist, who lives in Florence, gave a most interesting concert at the Salone della Pergola. A large audience greeted his return to this city. He has greatly improved since he last played here.
53Mario Ancona is to sing Wolfram in "Tannhäuser" next month. He is a Florentine and seldom sings here. A crowded house is therefore anticipated.
55Paderewski, Galston, and others shortly are expected here.
57MARIO AMATI.
59Progress for Another McLellan Pupil.
61Richard Smythe, tenor, one of Eleanor McLellan's talented pupils, is also meeting with success as a composer. His anthem, "Crossing the Bar," is being received with great favor, and has been sung in the following well known churches: Third Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, Heinroth, organist; Fifth Avenue Brick Presbyterian Church, New York, Clarence Dickinson, organist, and Church of the Ascension, Samuel P. Warren, organist.
