Dante's love-passion for Beatrice when he wae nine and she was eight, which he immortalised in prose and verse when he was grown up, ts the subject of Mr. Wolf-Ferrari's cantata. It 1s divided into @ prologue and two parts. The prologue is a glorification of love. In It the soprano voice, typi- fying Beatrice, aings: And who, beholding me, knows naught of Lov Then love to him aha! treasure. In the first part the baritone—in the character of the poet himseli—sings a sonnet, beginning: Within my lady's eyes love site en- throned, Thus she ennobdles all on Which she gwazeth. ‘The first part includes an intermetzo, an orchestral interlude and a chorus, ‘Lo! Now an Angel Calleth."" In the second part the baritone has two fine solos, “So pure and fair" and ‘Weary, so weary of infinite sighing.’ The or- chestra depicts the death of Beatrice and the chorus sings that atirring “Ah!” The music throughout, both for voices and orchestra, 1s beautiful, never failing to convey spiritual uplift with the prevailing p: % Alma Gluck sang exquisitely her part which ends with the prologue, save for her four words just before the end, “I dwell in peace,” which she 414 not sing lagt night. Amato, who carried the ‘burden of the solo work, never has sung better or #o convincingly. His rich voice reflected every sentiment of the text and was full of tenderness. The chorus was admirable, and Mr. Settl, who had trained it, well deserved the cur- tain call that Mr. Wolf-Ferrar! forced him to take. orchestra played de- Nghtfully and the composer himeeif proved « really excellent conductor. He wes weraly greeted upon his entrance to the orc pit and recalled many times at the end by @ very la.ge audi- ence. Before the cantata there was a miscel- laneous concert, conducted by Josef Pasternack, in which Florence Wiok- ham end Carl Burrian were the soloists, ZIMBALIST SOLOIST WITH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, ‘Walter Damrosch and the Sy: ony Orcheyra, with Efrem Zimbalist, the violinist, as soloist, gave one of the most interesting concerts of the season at the Century Theatre noon before a large audie phony was George Enesco’ which Mr. Damrosoh to hear in his Frenc year ego.
