Appears in Varied Profraauie
at the Columbia.
Those who were present at the Alice
Nielsen-Gabriel Ysaye concert rivm at
the Columbia Theater yesterday after
noon usienea to a varied programme.
It was a banquet at which the lofty
cieci uranms, lieetnoven. Strauss, Grieg,
Saint Saens. mingled with the humbler.
Bond, Rogers, Ronald, Faure, Spross.
There was an absence of Schurwrt.
Schumann. Wolf, Loewe, Franz, and of
the old song writers. Brahms and
Strauss were represented by one number
eacn. bull there were many gems. The
chief of these were Brahms' "Botschaft."
Grieg's "Solvegj's Lied," and "Eln
Traum."
The song programme opened with two
songs of Cadman, "When Cherries
Bloomed" and "At the Feast of the
Dead." the latter an Indian theme, both
musically congruous with the poet's
Idea, Richard Strauss' beautiful "Ser
enade" was given In the English version.
A group of French songs. Debussys
piquant "Mandoline," Saint Saens "Tou
Jours." Bembergs "A Tol." and "Tu
Mo Sourlals." by Caplet. followed, and
to all of these Miss Nielsen Imparted
the delicate subtle flavor of the French
song.
Miss Nielsen's best work was done In
"Will o' the Wisp." the fleetlnc fanev. br
Spross; "A Haunting Memory." by Car
rie Jacobs Bond: "Down In th Torest."
by Ronald; Arensky's "But Lately In
Dance." Lint's "Lorelei," and "Love
Has Wings." by Rogers. Miss Nielsen
has avvolce of much beautv and charm.
Her olce has the peculiarity of chang
ing character In different registers, and
her suspended high tones. Immediately
following the low register, have the ef
fect of rising in the air like etherlal
cloudlets of tone. She Is much the best
In songs In her native tongue, in which
she Is admirably dramatic
Gabriel Ysaje's skill was put to the
test In Wleniavv ski's "Russian Airs"
and his musicianship In Beethoven's D
major violin sonata. It must be said
that there Is more promise for the future
than very remarkable present per
formance. The playing of the first move
ment of the Beethoven sonata was so
unsatisfactory as to barely be redeemed
by the admirable cantablie of the slow
1 middle movement, and by the vigor, fine
perception of phrase values in the finale.
In the minds of many the question.
"Has the mantle fallen upon the son's
shoulders?" must have arisen voluntarily
as the oung virtuoso walked out upon
the stage. He is still but a south,
though tail, well built and somewhat re
sembling his dlstlngujhed father. Eugene
Ysaye.
In long sustained subdued, pianissimo,
such as the "Reve d'Enfant." a compo
sition of Eugene Ysaye, his touch is not
uniformly firm, and in the "Havanalse"
there vere sharp tones here and there
In the rapid passage work. The chro
maUc work as gocd, but it was evident
work, indeed, evidence of labor detracted
from the full enjojment of his perform
ance throughoJt. The "Berceuse" of
Faure. plajed with mute, was very
beautifully done
