Philharmonic Concert With Gieseking as Soloist. \HREE compositions of roman- tic character made up the program of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra's concert yesterday afternoon at Constitution*Hall. The orchestra was directed by Bruno Walter, whese conducting is leaving an even deep- er impression on the American public. The soloist was the pianist, Walter Gieseking. Mr. Gieseking played the “A minor Concer- to” of Schu- mann. The complete unison with the or- chestra which he achieved was so unusual that it remained as as important quality in the general sum- ming up of im- Bruno Walter. pressions. His solo phrases fitted in with an exactness that left no break between the last note of the crchestra and the first of the piano. and the continuity of ideas was carried on in the same vein. The interpretation of the con- certo as Mr. Gieseking gave it was poetical in the extreme. His ex- tracrdinary technical _equipment, which has an individuality that is unique, delighted in the delicate passages and seemed o take much pleasure in_the tender handling of pbrases. The enjoyment in Mr. Giescking's playing begins with the first note and literally continues from note to note, for no pianist tocay has such exact appreciation of tne relative importance of each note and the knowledge of the pre- cise shade of color that belongs to it. For that reascn it is like listen- ing to a beautiful poem in which the story is tcjd with every moving quality of the human voice. Some- times ore wishes that the high moments could be brought out with more power and brilliancy, but this vague dissatisfaction is lost when the magic of his own style begins again. The desire to hear more, which the audience expressed in the warm applause that brought Mr. Gieseking out many times in ac- knowledgement, was a most natural response to such truly beautiful playing. Mr. Walter conducted the orchestra carefully in its accom- paniment and there was complete harmony with the soloist throughout. The tone of the New York Phil- harmonic has a richness and mel- lowness that is deeper than most orchestras. In the playing of Strauss' tone-poem “Don Juan,” Mr. Walter let the sheer loveliness of sound have its way. The pas- sionate utterances were given with a brilliancy that had refinement and were quite in keeping with the ex- quisite character of the more dreamy moments. The exaltation which Strauss reaches to a superlative de- gree has nevertheless a human note that thrills while carrying one to the heights and this effect Mr. ‘Walter accomplished with inspired directing. G The Schubert “Symphony in C major” was given a more standard- ized reading, in which, however, thorough appreciation of its musical value was predominant. In certain moments it became heavy and pon- derous and lacked a definiteness of idea. The fact that this concerto is the longest one ever written needs a particular fire put into it to pre- vent it from evident. Mr. Walter’s steadfastness in con- ducting and his fine regard for the slightest nuance is a source of pleas- ure dnd the audience was spon- taneous and sincere in its lpAph;u. " Interstate Male Chorus Gives Splendid Concert. ONE of the most enjoyable choral concerts of the season was given last night by the Interstate Male Chorus at Memorial Continental Hall under the direction of Clyde Aitchison. The Chorus was as- sisted by Edwin Steffe, baritone, in individual sclos and was accom- panied by Robert L. Feuerstein, with Gertrude Smallwood Mockbee play- ing with him in a duet accompani- ment to one of the numbers. ‘The ensemble of the chcrus can- not be too highly praised. It seems to be made up of individually fine voices and the membcrs sang with an interest that put vitality into whatever they did. The different parts blended smoothly into a rounded, sonorous whole and their harmony was true to pitch and splendidly modulated. Mr. Aitchison brought out some very artistic con- trasts and kept things going in a spirited fashion. In such numbers as “Hymne an dle Musik” of Albert Schuff, his own beautiful “When Twilight Dews” and the varied “Lochinvar” of William Hammond, the controlled and subdued pian- issimos floated free and poignant as frcm one throat. On the other hand, STAR, WASH there was a rol quality in Verdi's “Prelude” and “Introduction™ from the first act of “Ernani” & virlle humor in Basil Kibalchick's “Czechoslovakian Dance Song” and the “Reapers’ Song” (Bohemian folk song), which was given added spirit by the unusual accompaniment in duet fcrm. “The Merry Musketeers,” by Ivan Servais, had a smart rhythm that proved what good musicians this group of singers are and how pliantly they can change from one type of singing to another. The final “Ecce Quam Bonum” that F. Dominic Waedenschwiler wrote for the chorus was a sort of summing up of the spirit and musicianship of the chorus. Edwin Steffe made a decided im- g:eulon in his fine singing of the ritone solo from “Rigcletto,” “Cor- tigiana, Vil Razza,” and a group of songs. His voice rang out in liberal quantity in Manna Zucca’s “Nichavo” and in the delightful “Gwina to Heben” of Jacques Wolfe his inter- pretation brought a stcrm of ap- plause. Only in “Eleanore” (S. C. Taylor) was he not so happy in tone production and his rendition fell short of his intentions. He con- fined himself to cue encore, although the audience wished for more. The Continental Memorial Hall was literally filled to overflowing and hardly standing room for the enthusiastic crowd that had gath- ered. Much credit must be given to Mr. Altchison for the splendid work he accomplished and the interesting program he had arranged. A.E.
