...conductor of a famous Symphony orchestra for five consecutive years, and during that time grows and develops in an almost uninterrupted course, so that his last season is a real crown for his labors, and the last concert its greatest jewel. Such, certainly is the record of Pierre Monteux, who Thursday evening took leave of Cambridge, and yesterday afternoon commenced a two days' farewell to Boston. The concert was a real culmination, and it seems almost certain that Mr. Monteux will be unable to surpass it, if he succeeds in equalling it, this evening. It is, perhaps, needless to record...
...remarkable performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, a performance which lifted all the think covering of over popularity and consequent banality which has veiled it is recent years, and revealed it in all its vitality and originality, qualities which it has in abundance.

Ostensibly he is only the leader of a versatile band of jazzy musicians. His title on the program is "the high-hatted tragedian of song, and his musical chorus." But for all his clownishness he has far more real art bottled up inside him than in many a man who scorns the idea of "jazz." Expressiveness is combined with restraint to a degree seldom attained in any kind of a performance...
