Music By Sylvester Rawling. HY should the Cleveland Sym- phony Orchestra, Nicolai So- \ koloff, conductor, appear vat the Hippodrome last night to display its virtues? In @ more intimate audi- torium its qualities could have been judged far better, The answer is that Mr. Harok, a young man who knows pretty well the public taste, had hired the organization to support Titta Ruffo and Mishel Piastro in a concert that would be profitable. He didn't miss his guess, judging by the size of the audience, wihioh filled the audi- torium and what space was left upon the stage. Suffice it to say, then, of the orchestra (its conductor is not unfamiliar to us) that with all the erudities Of youth it mado a brave display of preciosity and virtuosity that upset nobody's musical digestion in a pronounctment of Tchaikovsky's sixth symphony and in Wagner's pre- jude to “The Mastersingers,” For the rest, there was Titta Ruffo, one of the greatest of living baritones, who lets art and taste go hang to win the plaudits of the—well, unthinking in the serenade from Mozart's “Don Gio- vanni” and in the brindisi frong Am- brose Thomas's “Hamlet;"” and there was Mishel Piastro, a violinist of parts, who heard in Tohaikov- sky's concerto. Extra numbers gal- ore were demanded and obtained from each of them. Walter Damrosch and the Sym~ phony Orchestra gave a concert at Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon, The programme inehided Gluck's suite “Iphigenia in Aulis,” the famil- iar Grieg "Peer Gynt” suite, Massenet’s “Scenes Pittorcaque" suite, and Rim- sky-Korsakoff's “Scheherazade” suite, each pinyed with such engaging piquancy that Mr. Damrosch won't mind my calling his concert “popu- lar.” At least, one tired music re- viewer enjoyed it. Besides there was Frieda Hempel, as soloist, for more |}than good measure. One is tempted to the old racetrack story and isk “What detained you, Frieda?” for et late the a nounced order. may be fo given for her lovely singing of Ha del's aria, “Sweet Bird,” and an aria from Veri "Miss Hempel by rea e and her art, | one delights of the pres- rt stage. | The Philharmonte Orchestra, un- the leadership of Henry Hadley, gave a concert at Carnegie Hall yes- afterncon that deserved the sold" sign that confronted terday “All Se late coming foolish virgins. Chad- wiok’s “Melpomene” overture and Kalinnikopft's first symphony were supplemented by Saint-Saens's sec- ond piano concerto with Perey Grain- ger as soloist, and Mr. Grainger's own children’s march, “Over the Hills and Far Away,” with himself pro- tagonist at the piano, A charming entertainment. with great charm, Then came Saint- Saen's fourth piano concerto, played by Giuo: Novaes, with the lus- cious beauty of tone and the ex- quisite taste which have endeared her to the music-loving public, The concert closed with Tchaikovsky's fantasy, “Romeo and Juliet.” In the name of sweet charity, Galli- Curci and Lhevinne gave a joint recital at the Metropolitan Opera House yesterday afternoon, Both artists were applauded to the echo by a crowded house, Besides the arias from “La Sonnambula,” “Lucia” and “Traviata,” in whieh the prima donna’s voice and vocal style are well known, she made a hit with a Spanish song, “Olavelitos,” by Val- verde, which she sang with much animation and archness, and which she had to repeat. Other extra num- bers were Tosti’s “Aprile,” which she sang to her own accompaniment; “Home, Sweet Hom: and several! songs in Bnglish, charmingly sung. An enormous bouquet was carried to her on the stage and presented by two very tiny uréhins from the Greenwich House “Music School, which will benefit by the recempts of the concert. | Mr. Lhevinne won a generous share of the applause by his brilHant vir- tuosity as a pianist, The week-end musical incidents included a concert at the Lexington Theatre last night by Duci de Kere- jarto, violinist, and Christine Lan-} genham, soprano. At the Longacre Theatre last night Frederic Warren gave a third ballad concert. At the Princess Theatre Inst night Paul Reimers gave another of his charm- ing intimate eong recitals. At Car- negie Hall on Saturday afternoon Mabel Garrison, coloratura soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, gave a recital. Also on Saturday af- ternoon Ernest Hutcheson, pianist, gave a recital in Aeolian Hall. In the Town Hall on Saturday evening Joan Manen, Spanish violinist, gave a re- cital, and at Aeolian Hall on Satur- day evening Johanne Margrethe Somme, pianist, and Brik Bye, bari- tone, gave a joint recital. Five operas made Saturday's rec- ord. At the Metropolitan in the after- noon Bori and Martinelli were the stars in “Pagliacci,” which was fol- lowed by “Coq d'Or," with Scotney, Galli, Sundelius, Diaz, Didur, Bolm, Kathleen Howard and Florenge Ru- jolph in the cast. In the evening, The Barber of Seville,” with Cora Chase, Hackett, de Luca and Mar- dones, was sung. At the Manhattan, there were “Monna Vanna,” with | Mary Garden, Muratore, Baklanoff | and Cotreuil, at the matinee, and “Othello,” with Rosa Raisa, Charles Hecren and Titta Ruffo, in the eve- ning. The programme of the National Symphony Orchestra, which was played to a surprising number of empty seats at Carnegie Hall on Sat- urday night, was composed of the overture “Ossian,” by Neils Gade, a novelty to New York, although some | eighty old.
