EAMES' RECITAL. uu Dui.w? h.biji, jiuwj , u. notify j.Tirmort jiames gave wiiat w; -m-w t. . m gave what was billed as a. "piano forte lecture recital" have been inspired by the genius of ihe great poeL Mr. Eames in no well qualified for thitt laut part of the en tertalnment that comment is perhaps unecessary, but it is safe to say that a Lincoln audience has never heard him to greater advantage. He played tho incidental music written by Edward. German for tho revivals of "Henry VIII" and "Romeo and Juliet," besides certain traditional tunes valuable rather from an antiquarian than a musical point of view. But the crux of his performance was the beautiful ren dition of the rarely heard "Nocturne" from Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream" music, as well as the "Wedding March" and fairy music from the same work. In these, as well as In the better known "Hark, Hark, the Lark," transcribed by Liszt from the song of Schubert, Mr. Eames play ed with the qualities which mark the superlatively finished performer. In tellectually, temperamentally, tech nically, he left nothing to be desired. Of course, the Liszt transcription o the "Midsummer Night's Dream" music was used as the performer told us the great transcriber had added new beauties to the score but the nocturne was played In its virgin purity of out line. Besides the?. works Mr. Eames sang a number of lyrics selected from the wonderful treasure house of Shake spearian verse and set to music by composers ranging from Purcell to Mrs. H. H. A. Beach. Among the best of these were the famous "Who Is Syl via?" of Schubert and a modern set ting of "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind," by Sargeant. Mr. Eames pos sesses a clear tenor voice, well posed and of -r-movlBge,adofte"'fctltterl' quality, of which the middle range is especially beautiful in timbre. His singing gave unmistakable pleasure to the audience, who thus became ac quainted with certain rarely heard songs. Mr. Eames emphasized in his talk upon "Shakespeare in Music" the fact that tbe great poet was and is today a source of inspiration to other artists. Painting and music as well as litera ture have been enriched by the wealth In these plays. The lecturer spoke of the operas and overtures which have been inspired by these plays. Alto gether, as a result of patient individual research into "Shakespearians," Mr. Eames has succeeded In creating a novel and interesting musical lecture, which should be of great value to both musician and general public, and his specific gift of interpretation made his singing and playing a pleasure to those who heard him. Tbe Palladlans are to be congratu lated upon their artistic venture in se curing Mr. Eames. It is to be hoped that the fact that it was also a finan cial success will encourage them to con tinue in the same line of entertain ment.
