The combination of Mr. benorrs voice and Mahler's finest music made this one of the season's most satisfying concerts. The "Kin-riertotenlieder" are infrequently sung, yet they are more capable of stimulating an enthusiasm Mahler than any other of his works, with the possible exception of "Das Lied von der Erde."

Arriving late, you toned your may to your teat (if, that is. you were fortunate enough to have one) through a quadruple row of standees and sat for something over two hours facing a stage as closely packed as the auditorium. On the whole, we presume it mas the largest and most brilliant audi ence ever to assemble in the blue and gold palace erected by the San Carlo millions, and any one mould liave been pardoned fur assuming the attraction a Kreisler, a Hcifetz, or a Paderewski. But the cause of this excitement mas no wizard of (he bow or keyboard.

It mas not in tribute to a fashionable virtuoso that the audience rose as a man to its feet and applauded the appearance at the piano of a short and slender figure, gray of hair and smiling of feature it mas in tribute to Maurice Ravel, the most distinguished of living French composers, who had been induced, on his first visit to America, to participate in a program devoted to lus own works. M. Ravel came upon the stage following a performance of the String Quartet by the Hart House ensemble. His manner was casual and friendly; he seemed a trifle embarrassed by the enthusiasm that burst about him, and put an end to it by taking his place at the piano. During the ensuing 20 minutes he delivered himself of the Sonatine, the Habarnera and the "Pavane pour une Infants de-funte." The fust was promised on the program; the remaining two pieces M.

Ravel added with good-humored generosity. The concert lost its formality with the appearance of its hero. It became thereafter scarcely a concert at all, but rather an "at home" that ran a leisurely course until well toward midnight. This was largely due to the fact that M. Ravel, like so many composers, ranks as a less than professional pianist.

He played without effort, and doubtless without practice, and he played very poorly. The audience seemed not to mind. It felt amply repaid, no doubt, by the opportunity to associate at such close range with man who, among his contemporaries at least, ranks as an immortal. The program of the concert Included, in addition to the numbers that we have already mentioned, the "Histoires Naturelles" and the "Chansons Madecasses," sung by Greta Tor-padie, with the assistance of the composer, Horace Britt, 'cellist, and Arthur Lora, flutist; a Sonata for Violin and Piano (Joseph Szigetl and the composer), and an "Introduction et Allegro" for harp and chamber or chestra. Listening, one was again im pressed by the fastidicous taste, the impeccable style of this music.

M. Ravel is beyond doubt the most eminent of salon composers, the author of music whose outstanding qualities are clarity, fineness and delicate sentimentality. More than this he has rarely been. There are passages in "La Valse" and in "Daphnis et Chloe" that have unwonted and effectual vigor, but for the most part M. Ravel has devoted himself to the exquisite and, alas! the perishable.

It is hardly necessary to comment at length upon the performances given last evening. The Quartet was well played: Miss Torpadie interpreted the eight songs intelligently and with feeling and Mr. Szigeti proved a singularly fortunate choice for soloist in the sonata. The slight suggestion of amateurism emanating from M. Ravel's piano playing and attaching itself to the general proceedings probably diverted the audience -by its very novelty.

We did not hear all of M. Ravel's concert. In the Guild Theater a music critic, neglecting his profession for the moment, reverted to type. In a Brahms program given bv the Musical Art String Quartet, Samuel Chotzinoff, whose penetrating comment on musical affairs diverts readers of the Morning World, performed the piano part of the A major String Quartet. Before he Joined the ranks of journalism, Mr.

Chotzinoff was a pianist and it is evident that he has maintained his interest in that art as an avocation. He gave a beautifully articulated performance of Brahms' music; it was, indeed, his playing that sustained the work as a whole, clarifying and strengthening its design and expressing the full content of its musical ideas. The members of the Musical Art ensemble concerned In this Quartet played with meticulous adjustment of individuals to the whole and with that fine unanimity of feeling and deed that has in the past marked their concerts as pleasures not to be forgone by lovers of the best in chamber music. During his brief association with the Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Thomas Beecham ha3 maintained his character as an enthusiast for the music of Frederick Delius. There is a Delius cult in England (we refer vou to the writings of Dr.

Hull, George Dyson, Celius Gray, for nnd Sir Thomas may rightly claim title as its most energetic exponent He has embellished his New York programs with an intermezzo from the opera "A Village Romeo and Juliet," and with two tone poems: the familiar "On Hearing the First Cuckoo ln Spring," and the "Paris A Night Piece." Knowing what one does of the contemporary British school, it Is not difficult to understand the admiration In which Delius is held. Gifted with a sensitive and perceptive temperament, he has produced music wherein passion, though attenuated, is at least authentic. One searches in vain through the pages of such men as Hoist for an indication of the sincere emotionalism, the spiritual fervor that touches with distinction all of Delius' writing. The rhapsodic "Paris," presented by Sir Thomas and the Philharmonic in Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon, is a score that one would like to hear more often. A trifle over-long, and marred by.

its presentation of several climaxes of equal intensity, it contains, none the less, much lugmv individual and music. Wo do not know whether or not this Nocturne (which bears as Its subtitle "The 8oul of a Great is literal tone painting ol the panorama nblalnablo Trom Bacre Cocur or the Huttc Cimiiniont, bu'. we prefer to believe that its "program," if any.
