Concert TIMELY observation is made by Sigmund Spaeth in the November issce of McCall's._Magazine. Says he: “The new music season will bring another German invasion of our concert stage and the most im- poriant singers and violinists of the year will come from Germany. “America seems to take its concert music in national cycles A few years ago we clamored for the Russian fiavor. . . . Then came a wave of Spanish influence. . . . During the coming season prepare for a German invasion. The advance work has already been done by Mary Wigman, who succeeded in persuading the United States that the Vaterland possesses a peculiar ccmmand of the modern dance, and immediately establishcd her own school here. There also is the helpful feeling that the Ger- mans are by nature a musical race, which has been sufficiently proved in the past. “In any case. whether by accident or design, the most important visitors to the American concert stage this year will be German. Of them all, the one who has caused the most agi- tation is Richard Tauber. Here is that extraor- dinary rarity—a German tenor with a popular appeal; a man who does not bleat Wagnerian roles from the depths of a pudgy figure, but a romantically handsome hero with a voice that is insistently ccmpared with Caruso's. Tauber has been heard here through phonograph rec- ords. and according to these he is very, very good. But the most recent reports were that Tauber would come to America regardless of operatic opportunities; that he would sing Ger- man lieder and make records and, perhaps, appear on the radio, and thus give every one a chance to enjoy an outstanding voice and personality. “ITwo other German singers are to be with us for concert tours, Lotte Lehmann and Eliza- beth Schumann. . . . The instrumental visitor from Germany is Adolf Busch, brother of the conductor Fritz Busch and a top-notch violin- ist in his own right. Busch enjoys the friend- ship and the admiration of Toscanini, and makes his American debut as soloist with the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra late in November. His interpretation of the Brahms violin concerto is famous, and it is to be hoped that he will play it here.” EON BRUSILOFF, a former member of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and at va- rious times orchestra leader at the Columbia, Palace and Fox Thecaters, has severed his con- nection with the latter theater after being there for four years and has opened his own con- cert bureau at 718 Thirteenth street northwest. Friends of Mr. Brusiloff will be interested to learn that he is organizing and rehearsing eoncert, radio and dance units for the coming Church.

Although there is a possible chance that one of our best known impressarios will bring Lotte Lehmann to town, it is emly a “chan-e” at the moment—in fact, rather less than that. All of which reduces these visiting celsbrities to one, as far as we are concerned, which secmas a shame—a down- right shame—particulaily in the case of the handsoane Mr. Tsubcr, who vet (according to seme one v ho knows) is s’ightly “pudgier” than Mrs. Spacth has admitted.

Mr. Duffy, whe has a long list of musical aecom- plishments to his credit. plans a season of much activity. He is, incidentally, a great be- liever in the charms of Gilbert and Sullivan, and therein roay lie a story.
