MRS. DAVID ALLKN CAMPBELL.
One of the largest audiences of tbe
season greeted the appearance of the
Philharmonic orchestra at the Funke
oa Tuesday evening. In spite of the
rain few vacant seats were seen, and the
enthusiasm was unbounded.
The program was largely composed
of request numbers, and as these are
rendered by the orchestra with more
rareness at each repetition, they were
even more enjoyed than at the first hear
ing. The "William Tell" overture,
given twice before, showed a decided
gain in artistic finish.
The appreciation of the audience wan
an inspiration to both the orchestra and
the soloists, and encores were plentifully
given.
The zither solo in the descriptive fan
taie "Traumbilder," awakened much
applause, and was repeated. A poem on
the program explained the meaning of
the "Visions in a Dream," but the music
was pretty enough to suggest sweeter
visions than could be entrusted to the
limitations of words. ' Music should not
tell a definite story, though the greatest
Meters have made it describe a phase of
aoal life or emotion applicable to al
mankind, and to be interpreted differ
ently by each individual. But musical
ideas are too ethereal, too spiritual to
be applied to a definite case. We un
derstand and feel their meaning and
troth, but no more express that feeling
in language than a painter could por
tray on bis canvas a spiritual body,
which was visible to his inner eye.
It is seldom that any program claims
two sympathetic soloists. Both Mrs. D.
A. Campbell and Mr. Holmes Cowper
aaog directly to thehearts of the people.
Mrs. Campbell's voice we know and love,
aad her first selection, the quaint old
Italian aria "Ah! Rendimi,' brought out
the- beautiful, rich tones of her lower
register admirably. 8ha responded with
'Home, Dearie, Home." At its close
she received some beautiful roses from
her admirers.
Mr. Cowper, in an aria from "Faust,"
won- aa immediate success. He has a
powerful tenor voice, with all the rich
ness and warmth of a baritone. Each
tone from the lowest to the highest was
round, full and sweet. Mr. Cowper
came here a stranger, but with such a
beautiful voice, cultivated and under
perfect control, he is sure to be in de
ataad. He gave a double encore, Nov
in "When Ve Two Were Maying,- and
Annie Laurie." The audience even
tfcea were loathe to let him go.
Bis second number was a group of
short seags, in which he was supported
by Miss May Belle Hagenow, who is
rapidly developing into a satisfactory
accompanist:
' Mrs. P. V. M. Raymond not only lent
artistic aid at the piano in one number
with the orchestra, but also accompanied
Mrs. Campbell.
The success of this closing concert
will give Mr. Hagenow the greatest en
cearaeaent towards the permanence of
his orchestra. From the excellent re
sults accomplished in one short winter,
lie may expect great things another year.
