Don Cossack Chorus Still

Popular Here

Russian Singers AHract

Large Audience at English's.

By JAMES THRASHER

Repeated appearances may robbed the Don Cossack Chorus of the dubious distinction of a “nhovelty,” but they have not lessened the organization's drawing power. A nearly full house which greeted | the Russian singers at English's vesterday bore witness that these men have become a staple item in our musical life. Under the precise and sensitive leadership of their diminutive cgnductor, Serge Jaroff, the Cossacks sang their usual type of Rus-| sian program in their usual exemplary fashion. It remains a source of wonder tha these rugged expatriates could have gathered from all walks life to find solace in music under Mr. Jaroff's persuasive ministrations. It 1s more remarkable that, through the years, they can maintain the} exceedingly high standard of their performance. These men, aside from their director, were not trained musicians. Presumably they were not bor with the musician's wrge for | artistic perfection. Yet, somewhere along the line, they have amuired it Mr. Jaroff and his men continue | to rear their amazing tonal edifices | at one moment, and drop to the most gossamer of pianissimi at the next. There is still the same devotion in their liturgical numbers, the same high-spirited delivery of the folk songs.

§ Ol

Few Can Resist There hangs about their programs, however, that blemish of nearly all a cappela groups: The distortion of phrase and lack of rhythmic unity for the sake of prolonging an agreeable chord. Few conductors | can resist this practice, born of im-| — promptu barber shop ensembles. But though the practice is disquiet- | ing, it can not offset the pleasure that the Cossack’s virtuosity always brings. Yesterday the items from the liturgy; the “History { Jaroff and His Don Cossack | Chorus,” written for the group two | years ago by Schvedoff, and num-; erous folk songs which practically | ran the gamut of human emotions. This concert was an “added attraction” of the Martens Concert series, and a portion of the proceeds was turned over to Mu Phi Epsilon, national music sorority, for its local scholarship fund The next regularly scheduled Martens offering will be the second appearance here of the Jooss European Ballet, which is to be seen at English’s a week from toni ght.

ALTERS PLANS

According to present plans, Yehudi Menuhin is to give the first American perrormance of Schumann's “lost” violin con-

certo with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra on Dec. 23 and 26. The performance originally was scheduled at this week's pair of concerts, and was to be the first public performance anywhere. However, the German government withdrew its permission for the American performance some weeks ago stating that the work could not be performed outside Germany until Nov. 14, two days after the scheduled St. Louis premiere. Wilhelm Kulenkampff is to be the soloist for the first performance with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra on Nov. 26. NBC is to broadcast the concert at 6:05 a. m. on that date.
