13CHICAGOANS FIGURE ON SYMPHONY PROGRAM
15Chicago had several reasons to take pride in its musical fraternity at this week's Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert, for on the program there was Eric DeLamarter's setting of Psalm CXLIV, with Barre Hill singing the baritone part, and the composer conducting, and Sowerby's Medieval Poem. There was also a novelty by Respighi called Church Windows to add to the solemn enjoyment of the Good Friday and Easter program.
17Both DeLamarter's and Sowerby's numbers are religious drama in noble form, both colorful and imaginative. DeLamarter conducted with verve and precision and composition and composer received the full approval of a delighted audience. In Barre Hill the solo had an admirable interpreter, whose splendid voice and exquisite art, clear enunciation and beautiful tone added much to the success of the number. He, too, was feted by the listeners.
19Respighi's four symphonic impressions, Church Windows, is a highly effective display piece, skillfully wrought and gorgeously colored. There were also Rimsky-Korsakoff's The Russian Easter Overture, and excerpts from the third act of Parsifal. A most befitting program, reverently and nobly played.
21MRS. HERMAN DEVRIES PUPIL WINS PRAISE
23Another pupil from the class of Mrs. Herman Devries to be heard from is Virginia Auyer, contralto, who sang in the Young American Artists Series at Fine Arts Recital Hall on April 5. Unusual vocal gifts, which have been carefully trained, give much promise for the future of this young singer, who should go far along the road of success.

62What the Jury Thinks
64The music critics of the New York dailies constitute the jury in the appended extracts from criticisms which have appeared in the local newspapers. Many concerts and operas are given in the metropolis, and the following day the critics agree or disagree on the merits or demerits of the performer. However, on most occasions the writers do not agree, and this department is conducted for the purpose of reproducing some of the contradictions, showing that, after all, the review constitutes but the personal opinion of the critic who covers the performance.—The Editor.
66Curtis Quartet, March 8
67HERALD
68The Curtis group gave a thoroughly delectable performance and gave reason to regret that this is probably the last time these musicians are playing here together.
70Beethoven Symphony Orchestra, March 9
71AMERICAN
72Schubert's Unfinished Symphony opened the program and was interpreted with understanding and care.
74AMERICAN
75Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice had a reading that was lively and fanciful.
77POST
78Rachmaninoff's popular concerto was expertly handled by Mr. Orloff and Mr. Zaslawsky.
80POST
81Mr. Zaslawsky, as well as his men, was in good form last night and gave a well balanced performance.
83But a disturbing doubt remained, while the quartet maneuvered through the Beethoven Quartet, that all is not gold that glistens and the Curtis Quartet has its weaknesses after all.
85Beethoven Symphony Orchestra, March 9
86AMERICAN
87Mr. Zaslawsky waved and gestulated and the orchestra did its limited best. The fact that Franz Schubert wrote it saved the performance from actual dullness.
89WORLD
90Another interlude of unbalanced fervor was the scherzo from Dukas' L'Apprenti Sorcier.
92TELEGRAM
93Mr. Orloff had difficulty in making himself heard because of the tumultuous accompaniment.
95TELEGRAM
96… conductor and orchestra labored with more of energy than results.
98Boston Symphony Orchestra, March 10
99HERALD
100Mr. Koussevitzky and his paragon worthy orchestra closed the concert with an expressive performance of the Pathetic Symphony.
102HERALD
103The Sinfonia is agreeable, contemporary … while not aggressively radical.
105Oscar Seagle, March 11
106AMERICAN
107With the refinement and finish that are so definitely a part of his vocal equipment, he sang … most delicate gradations in dynamics … unusual range of color.
109Mary Lewis, March 11
110POST
111… the great delight of the audience …
113Wittgenstein Plays at Smith College
114Victor Wittgenstein, pianist, gave a successful concert at Smith College, Northampton, Mass., on March 19. Next season he plans to make a tour of the principal colleges, along with his other recitals and lectures.
