...indeed the program which the Glee Club presents tonight could hardly be improved upon. Two or three numbers demand particular mention. One of the most beautiful is a choral by Bach with a flute obbligato, a lonely little miniature of delicately etched tone which rises, swells and is gone like a breath of increase. Immediately after it comes in old hymn by Vittorio. "Ovos Ommes," which, with its long singing, phrases and fire crescendos seems to each among the dim aisles and die softly away in the clowdy depths of the cathedral which it conjures up before the listener...

...Manhattan, a Bach choral prelude and Brahms's C minor symphony issued in rapturous perfection from the gloom of old Carnegie Hall. Even a tone poem about a Prophet, in phrases and measures twisted to tortuous futurity by one Ernest Pingoud, 26-year-old Swiss with a Russian upbringing, became articulate; for in the gloom was hidden the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stokowski. But the audience was slightly disconcerted during this notable visit. Desiring to "intensify the mystery and eloquence and beauty of the music" Conductor Stokowski had made his men invisible, with only steady little stars on their...
...Cleveland. Conductor Nikolai Sokoloy, recipient of high praise as visiting conductor in Manhattan's summer Stadium concerts, led the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra in a brilliant opening of the current season. Tall, dark, magnetic, he gave careful, rhythmic reading to Bach's Prelude, Chorale, and Fugue; continued with Brahms's First Symphony, in a full-throated interpretation; was clever, cacophonous, to suit Strauss's Don Juan; ended with his now familiar spellbinding performance of Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun. Again the city congratulated itself on the musicianly foresight and executive powers of Adella Prentiss Hughes, first U. S. woman organizer...
There was a welcome for Conductor Josef Willem Mengelberg, red-faced, genial, like a country doctor, and the concert .was on. There was the gay, graceful symphony of Johann Christian Bach, eleventh son of the mighty Johann Sebastian Bach; there was Beethoven's Eighth, droll, delightful, made side-splitting here and there by the heavy hand of Mynherr Mengelberg, there were excerpts from Berlioz's Damnation of Faust, "Minuet of Will-o'-the-Wisps," "Dance of the Sylphs" and the "Rakoczy March," and sandwiched in between, featured, a U. S. work, given its first Manhattan performance...
