Easily the most significant event I thus far in the present season of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra was the performance of Richard Strauss' great tone-poem, "Ein Heldenleben." It was the first performance of this work in Detroit and Mr. Gabrilo- witsch preceded the presentation with a lecture which took place on Wed- nesday afternoon and at which time I explained the tone-poem and had the orchestra play excerps from it, So it was an eager audience that as- sembled on Thursday evening to hear what is generally conceded to be Strauss' greatest work. And let it be stated here that, judging from the ovation tendered Gabrilowitech and his men, there were none in the au- dience who were disappointed. It was a wonderful performance of a magnificent work. "Ein Ileldenle- ben," written in the characteristiv vein of the great German composer, is in six connected sections: (1) The Hero (2), The Hero's Adversaries, (3) The Hero's Helpmate, (4) The Hero's Battlefield, (5) The Hero's Works of Peace, (6) The Hero's Re- lease from the World, and the con- clusion. All these are depicted with orches- tration that is vivid, with here and there spots of ravishing beauty. There is much of the dramatic element in the composition, full of brilliant color. In the third section is a most beau- tiful and extremely difficult violin solo representing the hero's beloved, which Illya Schkolnik played in an admirable manner. Mr. Gabrilo- witsch's reading of "Ein Heldenle- ben" stands as the greatest piece of conducting this reviewer has heard him do, and his success was over- whelming. The audience followed his interpretation with rapt attention, while he led his men with absolute authority and reached the very heights of brilliancy and the depths of emotion, bringing the tone-poem to a superb climax that left the au- dience momentarily spellbound. All From The Same Log ELSE in the country today will you find a furniture manufacturer who is going to such extremes in producing really good furniture that he insists that every piece of furni- ture in a set shall be made from the same log in order to get an exact match as to color and grain? W HERE This is an example - of the exacting methods em- ployed in building furniture at the Detroit Furni- ture Shops. This exquisite care in color matching is particu- larly evident in the beautiful Dining Room Suites which we have on display. It is satisfying to know that, no matter what price you care to pay, you can find a suite at the Detroit Furniture Shops ranging anywhere from $188 to $3,000—every one made with the same sincerity, the same careful attention to details in the unseen parts as well as the Been. A large audience sat through the seventh Sunday afternoon concert, under the leadership of Victor Kolar, and listened to a program that gave keen delight. It was a fine program that Mr. Kolar prepared for this con- cert, which he conducted in good style. Inez Barbour, in private life Mrs. Henry Iladley, was the soloist and she contributed two numbers which won for her much favor. Mme. Barbour displayed a voice of good timbre and resonance that was responsive to every demand. The second number she sang, "Le Tasse," was orchestrated by her distinguished husband, Henry Hadley, associate conductor of the New York Philhar- monic Orchestra. The program on Sunday opened with the overture to the opera "The Bartered Bride" and closed with "Neapolitan Scenes," by Massenet. There will be no concert on Sunday, Dec. 24, owing to the fact that the orchestra is at present on a long road tour and will not re- turn in time for proper rehearsals. Dec. 31 will be an Italian operatic program, with Lillian Poli and Thad- deus Wronski as the soloists. A. R.

It was a recital of inter- = eating song which Mme. Kramer did in a most interesting manner. To say - that she is a singer with a voice that ---- 74 is pure and true would not be telling :7 the exact truth. In fact there were F. -. - - - - times during the evening when her —... voice was hard and shrill, at other times she sang as would a vaudeville performer, but so great was her ar- W tistry and her interpretive powers '-= that one forgot the defects in her --.— M voice. Isa Kremer is a very definite per- ---- sonality and a most unusual artist. After seeing and hearing her it is ▪ quite understandable why she enjoys ..... _,- ' the reputation and popularity that m• , she does in Europe. Thus far this "-- Iseason she has given three New York recitals, all of which have been at- tended by overflowing audiences. Perhaps Detroit may be fortunate enough to hear her again, and if so anyone who wants to spend an en- joyable evening should not miss hear- ing Mme. Kremer.
