...that rather impolite article of furniture plays a prominent role. A hatrack in one corner, Belladonna enthroned in the other, a succession of male intruders, a bawdy denouement--and the lights fade mercifully. In a trice the stage is re-illuminated to reveal what is programmatically termed the Beauty Chorus industriously kicking away. And here we have an amusing spectacle, for it is quite palpable even to a jaundiced eye that many of these charmers have not been long on the boards. Some kick this way, some wave feebly in that, and others seem present in body only -- they simply...
...whom New Yorkers remembered. But Bloch's strength had not gone with his beard. He spread his arms wide and the orchestra sounded quietly, richly. Then Baritone Schorr, whose father was a cantor, started to intone the Mali Tovu ("How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob"). The chorus rose to one climax after another.

Following the intermission, we turned with pleasure to Brahms, Beethoven, and Bach. With the Chorus, we trembled before the Fates (Gesang der Parzen--Brahms) and felt the triumph of Revelation (Nun ist das Heil--Bach). We offer it as our opinion that in "Elegischer Gesang" (Beethoven) we heard the best and most delightful singing of the afternoon; here were best displayed those tricks of choral technique for which the choruses most diligently strive; here, too, was the most perfect balance between the chorus and orchestra...
