BY SYLVESTER RAWLING, | W it Is the turn of Walter Da: iN’ ‘oach and the Symphony Society ‘0 observe the centenary of Franz Liszt, who was born on Oct. 2, 1811. F. X. Arens and the People's Symphony |Orchestra, as well as the United Hun- garian- Societies, have already done homage to the memory of the master of music and the season will be far ad- vanceé before the last of the celebra- tions in his-honor shall take place. | Mr, Damrosch is especially qualified | to pay tribute to the great composer, planist and conductor because nit father, Dr. Leopold Damrosch, at one time was Liszt's concert master and alwaye was his friend, and his mother ung Ortrud, in “Lohengrin,” under Liszt's direction. It was fitting, there- fore, that at the first concert of the Symphony Society at the Century The- atre yesterday afternoon he should m an addreus, Mr, Damrosch, always a pertinent and iiluminative speaker, taiked more than usually well because of the nearness of the subject to his heart. His review of Liszt's career was admirably done and his intimate anec- Particularly piquant. One that appealed most to the audience re- lated Liszt's whimsically pathetic ex- pression of regret that his “Fa symphony had fatled of proper recogni- tion and his prophecy that another gen- eration would surely a ).eclate its worth. Some day, he said, he hoped the “little Damrosch” (meaning Walter, who was then eight years old) would conduct it before people who would love ft. The programme consisted of the “Faust". symphony and the “Danse Macabre.” The latter served to mark the reappearance in America of the dis- tinguished lish planist, Harold Bauer, who played with all hie old authority, masterfulness and charm and did not unduly project his solo part over that of the orchestra, In the final chorus of the “Faust” symphony George Harris jr. had the tenor solo. ls voice is of lovely quality and, barring @ bit of tremolo, he sang well, The chorus of men also was effective. As to the orchestra, it seemed to have taken on power and homogeneity. The Gretchen mévement of the symphony it played with exceptional suavity and grace, Mr, Damroseh conducted at his best. Another Liszt programme will be pre+ sented to-morrow afternoon, with Mr. Bauer as soloist in the first concerto and the orchestre playing the symphonic poems “Tasso,” “Mazeppa’” and “Les Preludes.” The collection of Liszt por- traits and other relics shown in the foyer yesterday afternoon hibited again to-morrow. will be ex- PHILHARMONIC TO BEGIN ITS SEASON ON THURSDAY. ‘The Philharmonic Society will open its season with concerts at Carnegie Hall next Thursday evening, Friday after- noon and the following Sunday after- noon, Introducing Josef ‘Stransky, Its new conductor in succession to Gustav Mahler, and Zimballist, the Russian vio- linjst, who made his American debut tn Boston with the Symphony Orchestra yesterday afternoon, Beethoven's elghth symphony, Lészt's symphonic poem ‘Tasso’ and Glazounow's and 7: alkowsky's pin concertos will be atures of the programmes.
