Barrere Ensemble In First Concert By Sylvester Ra Rawling. T= Barrere Ensemble gave the first concert of its fifth season At the Belasco Theatre yesterday afternoon. It was announced for 3.90 o'clock, and it actually began at 3.46 o'clock; but it was long after 4 o'clock tefore the Mast of the subscribers had Gropped in. What's the use, Mr. Bar- rere? You would better go back to the old 2 o'clock or 2.30 o'clock schedule, amd begin on time. The real lovers of the music you offer would be there. Tho others could drop in for five minutes, then, as now, and pick up a programme and go out talk piffie to their asso- clates about “the delightful concert just given, my by that distinguished looking Frenchman—oh, 1° Just for- gotten his name—but he plays the fi you know, in the Damrosch Orches: and {t was just lovely!” Perhapm tt the same in Beethoven's time. It m ve been, or the master could never condescended to write that duet clarinet and flute which was on Mr. Barrere’s programme. CaN that Musio?" said one man to tis neighbor. 'N was the reply. ‘That's Beetho- ven” ‘Mr. Barrere began with a quintet by Henry Woollett, ‘on themes in @ popu- lar form" for flute, oboe, clariaet, horn and bassoon, which proved attractive. A quintet for the same instruments by Percy Grainger, the theme for which was engendered on a waik in the High- lands of Scotland, also was admired. It was played for the first time in New) York. Bestden thi there was aj “Ronde de Lutens,” for flute, oboe and clarinet, by Christian Kriens, an ia-| genious and interesting composition played for the first time anywhere, and) Haydn's sonata for piano and flute, ad- mirably played by Mr. Barrere and Car- olyn Beebe, the latter with almost too much sel! cement. At the end came a divertissement *~ Albert Roussel for plano, flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon, of such Oriontal flavor that ity seemed {t might have come directly from the Sultan's harem. “Boris Godunoff," the fascinating | Moussorgaky opera presented to us for the first time last year at the Metro- louse, thanks to Mr. ) got a necond hearing for st night before a full sub- fence and two or three dees behind the rail, all} ed and most of them intensely {ntet staying until curtain closed upon the death of Boris.
