91The opera school, a department of the Hochschule under Dr. Ludwig Hoerth, director of the Staatsoper, again proved its high standard of accomplishment with a public performance of Der Freischutz which would have done honor in every respect to an opera house in any medium-sized town. In view of the fact that all the participants and the entire orchestra were pupils the performance must be called astonishing. Some excellent voices attracted particular attention, among them those of Cécile Reich and Elizabeth van der Haar, who will certainly win distinction in the operatic field. The school's chorus and orchestra are so well known for their excellence that the young members of both are eagerly sought, when they graduate, by opera directors, and many of them are immediately taken into the chorus and orchestra of the Staatsoper. Prof. Julius Prüwer, the regular conductor of all three of the school's orchestras, was in charge of the performance.
93A GLUCK PREMIÈRE
95Nothing less than a genuine Gluck première marked the recent musical festival given in Swinemunde, the popular seaside resort on the Baltic coast. This flourishing little town has long felt the need of a musical celebration, and determined to do itself proud at this one. So when the enterprising young Viennese conductor, Gottfried Kassowitz, gave a really creditable performance of Gluck's L'Ivrogne Corrigé,—written in 1760 and never before publicly performed—the mayor of Swinemunde announced to the guests that the importance of the occasion would be commemorated by a bronze tablet. The work contains some fine music which is well worth hearing, especially the monologue of a passionate opponent of prohibition, which is full of humor.
97The rest of the festival included a performance of Mahler's arrangement of Weber's Drei Pintos, as well as two concerts; comprising an all-Schubert and a Mahler-Schönberg-Strauss program respectively.
99HANDEL FESTIVAL AT KIEL
101The second festival of the New Handel Society was held in Kiel at the end of June with great success. It consisted of four concerts, the seemingly inevitable Handel opera which has been the feature of all Handel festivals for a number of years being conspicuous by its absence. A fine choice of the composer's most valuable and lesser known works, however, fully atoned for this omission. A concert devoted to church music, held in the beautiful old Nikolai-kirche, included one of Handel's most beautiful and perfect works, namely The Funeral Hymn to Queen Caroline, and his setting of Psalm 112. The latter is an interesting example of his juvenile style, the original setting, written in Halle, being the oldest Handel composition extant. During his Italian journey he revised the work and made the version that was used at this festival.
103The orchestral concert contained, as a special surprise, the magnificent and an almost unknown cantata for soprano and orchestra, Apollo and Dafne, as well as the concerto grosso No. 10, the concerto for double orchestra in F major (No. 28), and a transcription for harp of the organ concerto in B-flat (op. 4, No. 6). The chamber concerto comprised a sonata for flute and harpsichord, a chamber trio for two oboes, bassoon and harpsichord, some arias, the piano suite in E-major, and a very fine cantata, Dolce pur d'amor l'affanno, as well as a number of pieces by Bach's predecessors and contemporaries, such as Pachelbel, Kerll, Teleman and Strungk.
105The performance of Israel in Egypt, excellently conducted by Prof. Fritz Stein, was a most ambitious and successful effort of the entire musical forces of Kiel, namely eight different choral societies, strengthened by societies from Altona, Flensburg and other Holstein towns. Dr. Arnold Schering, professor of music in the University of Berlin, was the most eminent lecturer at the festival session of Kiel University. Hermann Roth, of Stuttgart, also lectured on his arrangement of Handel's opera, Alcina, which has just been performed in Leipzig for the first time.

109Mischakoff Busy at Chautauqua
111Besides his solo work this summer at Chautauqua, N. Y., Mischa Mischakoff has a large class of violin pupils, and on July 26 the Mischakoff String Quartet (Lajos Shuk, cello; Reber Johnson, second violin; Charlotte Carman, viola, and Mr. Mischakoff, first violin), will begin a series of three recitals on July 26, August 2 and 9.
113Recently Mr. Mischakoff played the Mendelssohn concerto with the New York Symphony Orchestra there and received the warm praise of the critics. The Chautauqua Daily commented in part: "The outstanding event on the program was the Mendelssohn violin concerto played by Mischa Mischakoff, concertmaster of the orchestra and internationally known soloist. Mr. Mischakoff could hardly have picked a vehicle which was better suited to exploit his remarkable technical powers. A beautiful tone, facile finger work and an intonation to envy, are proof that he is an artist of exception. Best of all is the very obvious enjoyment which Mr. Mischakoff takes in performing to an audience. His spirit is infectious and at the conclusion one feels the occasion to have been one of rare pleasure. Needless to say, Mr. Mischakoff was recalled many times after the performance before he returned to take his place in the concert-master's chair."
115Marchesi Artist-Pupils in Recital
117LONDON.—The concert given by Mme. Blanche Marchesi at her Paris studio on June 23 to introduce her artist-pupils was attended by a brilliant gathering of social notables, among them the Duchesse d'Uzes de Martenart, Duchesse de la Mothe Houdaincourt, the Princesse K. Bibesco, Mme. Ganna Walska, Mrs. Harrison Bennett, and Mrs. Berry Wall.
119Mme. Marchesi's concert for the pupils of her London school took place at the Wigmore Hall on June 28. Twin contraltos, Satne and Armene Medurian, in arrangements of Negro, Russian, and Mexican songs, made an instant success.
