14 WILMET1'E I LIFE . December .14, 1928 M 11ri11n Anderson Thrills Audience ;, Monday Concert By R. L P. To put it very mildly, Marian Anderson, gifted young colored contralto, wa~ given a hearty reception · when she appeared as soloist with the Little Symphony orchestra at New Trier high school Monday. December 10. Miss Anderson is endowed with a voice that is perhaps one of the gn·atest t)f this ~cneration. She sang an aria. "( l ~1 b Fl'fnando," from "La Favorite." an opera by Donizetti, with orchestral accompaniment, and showed a ,-oicc of great dramatic power, full. rich ~nd flexible. It was' respon . ivl' and l'<lual to all demands she put upon it. \Vhercforc her rendition of the aria wa . eutirely satisfactory ;n e\·ery way. Tht applause she received was thunderous, · an(l she was call-e J hack again and again to bow her acknowledgement. Later she appeared in a group of songs with piano accompaniment, and in these, too, she thrilled her hearers. The simplicity of senti~ent of Griffes' '"Night on Ways Unknown has Fallen," the repose with which she imbued it, the sincerity of it~ will linger in the memory. In the Quilter "Love's Philosophy," which followed, she proved that in lighter, gayer moods .her voice is still beautiful and under control. As .for the two negro spirituals scheduled and the two additional ones given as encores, they would seem to be above reproach. The texture of her voice and the sustained tone was a delight. Another encore, "CuckQo,' was charming. All thanks to the orchestral association for securing such a talented artist. The Little Symphony orchestra seem~ to be reaching loftier heights every timl' it plays. George Dasch, the con- doctor, -has the alert attention of all his players, and the men have been playing together long enough so that now they can follow their leader's interpretations to the fullest extent. The "Kammersymphonie," by \Volf Ferrari, which opened the program, was especia1ly well liked. Its German tex . . ture and · Italian lyricism made it seductive and tuneful, and it was given a delicate treatment. Lalo's Overture to "Le Roy d'Y s," described the pomp and col<;>r of a king's court, and Elgar's "The Wand of Youth," was enchanting. The latter was arranged for the Little Symphony orchestra by Mr. Dasch. Like lacy fairy tales or fragile toys were the six little pieces that make up the suite. The evening was concluded with an inspiring and forceful reading of the second Hungarian Rhapsody by Franz Li3zt. Chords were clipped out, the broad outline was never lost sight of, and through it an was fire and spirit. Excellent \Vork!
