Townsend Musicale Brings
Two for Capital Debut
Orrea Pernel, English Violinist,
Arid Jean Tennyson, Chicago
Opera Soprano, Heard
By ELENA DE SAYN.
Two new artists, Orrea Pernel, English violinist, and Jean Tennyson,
soprano ot the Chicago Opera, made their Washington debut at the May
flower Hotel in Mrs. Lawrence Townsend’s series yesterday morning,
sharing the program with Felix Salmond, famous violoncellist, whose
icbum iu uiis Uitjr oiwa.ya oaouica
It fell to the lot of Miss Pemel
which was to prevail throughout the<
concert. She succeeded at once in ,
establishing a contact with her |
listeners and easing the tension
usually associated with debuts. Her
performance of Bach’s familiar “Air j
on the G String.” heard' only last J
Sunday at Constitution Hall in its
original orchestral version, and her i
brilliant execution of Mozart-Kreis- |
ler’s “Rondo,” placed her imme
diately in the category of cultured
artists whp by the very discrimina
tion in the choice of their program,
pay a silent tribute to the intelli- .
gence of their audience.
In her performance yesterday Miss 1
Pemel combined the classics with 1
one modernist, Turina, whose eflec- >
tive “Poema de una Sanluquena” in ,
three parts—“Before the Mirror,”
“The Song of the Beauty Spot" and 1
“Hallucinations”—gave her an op- i
portunity for a many-sided display
of her imagination and virtuosity.
Miss Pernel s playing is character
ized by a warm, round tone, good 1
bowing and an analytic mind, with
the aid of which she makes her ;
readings interesting. She was a '
recipient of a well-earned and pro- ,
fuse applause after each of her
groups, which could’have easily led
to an encore. She was excellently ■
supported at the piano by Brooks ’
Smith, whose playing was distin
guished by fullness and a perfect ,
ensemble.
Miss Tennyson's attractive per- .
i <nnalit.v Anri annparnnrp immpril- .
ately predisposed the audience in
her favor. She shared an equal
measure of success with the other
artists on the program, retaining the
sway over her hearers to the end.
Miss Tennyson’s voice, of a lyric
character in the middle register,
has a pleasing: timbre, and songs
which lie within a range of about
an octave and a half are best suited
for it. To these belonged Koechlin’s
“La Lune" and Guarnieri's “Caro,
Caro el Mio Bambin,” which she
sang with pleasing effect. When
ever the music called for mixed
registers, as in the aria, “Alieu Notre
Petite Table,” by Massenet, a differ
ent quality disturbed the eveness of
the range and created an impression
of two voices very dissimilar in tex
ture. The upper register was forced
and difficult to reach and not always
on pitch. Unstable breath and in
distinct enunciation had its effect
in unsteady tones noticeably par
ticularly against the pure and lux
urious background of the strings in
Massenet's “Elegie,” where the
singer was assisted by Miss Pernel
and Mr. Salmond. Miss Tennyson
had the artistic support of Arpa’d
Sandor, who contributed in a large
measure to her success.
Mr. Salmond of the Curtis In
stitute in Philadelphia has acquired
a number of admirers through his
reDeated visits. His chief asset, is
a beautiful cantilena which he
draws from an equally beautiful
instrument with a great deal of
finish and care. His tone is not, un
like a human voice, and having
concentrated within recent years
on a vibrato of a finer quality, Mr.
Salmond has mastered all prin
cipals of an expert tone production
which was at its best in the
“Melodie” by Frank Bridge, dedi
cated to Mr. Salmond. In this
particular work, the piano part was
not assigned such an important
role as to overshadow the cello.
In Rachmaninoffs “Andante From
Sonata in G Minor” and in the
“Intermezzo From Concerto in D”
by Lalo, it was the piano which did
the most, with the cello playing an
obbligato. Ralph Berkowitz, who
acted as Mr. Salmond s partner,
deserves a great deal of credit for
the virtuosity displayed. While
his piano tone was somewhat hard
and did not blend with that of
the cello, it was he who bore the
brunt of the performance. It is
a pity that in his many visits to
Washington Mr. Salmond never as
yet has given a program in keeping
with his reputation.
The 117th musical morning of

to bring about the receptive mood
drs. Townsend’s series next Mon
lay will present Suzanne Stein,
formerly of the Prague Opera;
John Seagle, baritone, and Emile
Saume, pianist.
