...thought at the time, and have found no cause to change our mind since, that Mr. Russak's playing was irreproachable both in mechanical execution and in fidelity of expression. The first piece of Mr. Babcock was an air, "Who treads the Path of Glory?" from Mozart's "Magic Flute." It was a piece which fully displayed the sonorous richness of his matchless voice, and at the same time the wretched insufficiency of Lyceum Hall for such a piece.
