...rendering of the programme was very good almost throughout; the overture received especially good treatment. Still there were occasional slight slips, and it is a mystery to the writer how the first flute can be allowed to play so persistently flat and with so windy a tone. The Hungarian Rhapsody, with its gorgeous coloring was the most favorably received of the orchestral selections.
