Flral of a Merles of Refined Kit

and MarvelouM MaHlery Vocal
liym.iHHllcM.
The concert given last night at the opera
house was primarily due to the liberal
spirit and wise judgment of the nana
gersol the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation; n determination to give the
public participation in amusements ele
vating, refining, and at the same time
pleasing to every taste. 1 he concert
last night was the first of what we may
expect of a series of similar and not infe
rior entertainments.
There was no disappointment, even
after the somewhat extravagant esti
mates of the capacities of a musical club
so widely famous. The large audience
proved at once ils cultivated taste and
its appreciation of good music by ils
breathless silence and absorbed attention
as each gem of the programme was in
succession presented; broken only bv
hearty applause and rapturous encores.
The first piece, a symphony from Haydn,
by the whole club, at once fixed the char
acter ot the music and of the musicians,
und introduced the audience to a new
field of pltasure; to music delicate, re
fined, suhdued in its sound, but pene
trating every ear anil thrilling every
heart. There was an exquisite finish in
every note, a clearness and distinctness
in every touch, a sweetness in every har
mony t hai was a marvel of mastery over
the powers ol instrtimi-iilal capability.
Those in the habit ol licing si tinned anil
deafened bv the blasts of tlic brass baud
or the blatant appeal to popular lavor
ol the usual orehestial music, might be
amazed at the impression made by the
exquisitely delicate low sounding notes
which so gently and, relatively, iuaudibly
felt tison the car, and vet went straight
to the mark wit ha force more impressive
and pleasing than if they had been
driven and hammered in by the elamorof
artists whose lorte is noise, and whose
triumph is in the stunning detonulions
of iiinccrtcd eonlusion.
The program is too long to review
in detail, und Till! Citizkn can particu
larize only a few portions.
Miss l.anra Hinnlinm, in the second
piece, sang an aria trotu the Carnival of
Venice with a voice K-rfectly trained, ol
mal villous clearness and llcxibilily, with
extreme ruuge ol compass and with won
derful eapaeilv ol sustaining itself in un
broken smoothness even in the very high
est and most ambiiious notes. It was a
powerful illustration of natural capacity
andhigh culture; vetTiiiiCiniiN must be
lirrmitted to say that, lo the unsophisti
cated car, the pleasure derived from the
K-rleet culture ol Ihe human lliruat into
the siicccsslul rival of n fabricated
inusiial instrument was less than that
simple, natural, and at the same time,
exquisitely cultivated faculty glorihcd
by such singers as adorned the school ot
Jeiiy Linil; a school of nature, to which
art was invoked only to give finish and
refinement.
Mr. Kui-quov gave us new revelations
of the power and sweetness of the famil
iar llute; no longer "lamiliar" on his
hands, but n very wizard in his fingers,
now lull, round and sweet; again amma-tt-il,
vivacious, capricious, llcxible, living
from the extremes of the deep low notes
to the heights ol the very highest, anil
nil with a sweetness, melody and perfec
tion ol finish that astonished, with ils
skill and delighted with ils harmonies.
His solo, Souvenir de liaden, was a mar
vel of execution; but as a friend near by
expressed it, was rather an exhibit of
skilllul musical gymnastics than a speci
men of satisfactory music. This, how
ever, does not detract troin Mr. Kucquoy's
excellence; lor otherwise he gave full evi
dence of his mastery over the instrument
in all the elements ol power taste and
sweetness.
Perhaps as much enjoyment was de
rived Irom Mr. Arthur l.aseur's "Canti
lena." rendered on the viobncello, as
'from any other source; that gieat big:
mi wield v-lookiiig instrument, submitting
I itself to skillful manipulation, and meekly
1 and sweetly giving out the most sub
dued, sweet and touching notes, now
loud and bold, now soil und plain;
live, and breathing out with apparent
sclt-conseiousiiess all the expressions ol
human emotion.
Thk Citizkn mentions only a few of the
(R-rfot iners, only a lew of the renditions,
mid do this without disparagement.
There was perfection in all, perleetioii in
, everything;
ml I UK Citizkn regrets
that absence ol exiierience and artistic
