Symphony
Popular on ‘Magic Key’ Melchoir and. Sevitzky Win Spirited Applause
In Fine Program.
By JAMES THRASHER
A particularly busy and certainly a memorable day in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's season saw the orchestra make its debut on the popular “Magic Key” radio program yesterday, and follow this hour’s concert with a popular program before g large and enthusiastic audience.
Foreign countries, as well as the Si United States, heard the orchestra |: in a brilliant concert, its first on| was the|
NBC. Lauritz Melchior soloist, and Mrs. Booth 'Tarkington read an eloquent tribute by her husband to Mr. Sevitzky, the orchestra and its supporters.
This writer chose to join millions|: . .
of others at the receiving set, rather than to be with the several Hundred
R. C. A. employees and guests who.
heard the broadcast concert at the Murat. The music was transmitted with clarity, and both conductor and musicians performed with poise, accuracy and excellent musicianship. Sings “Prize Song”
The Prelude: to Wagner's . “Die Meistersinger” opened the program, after which Mr. Melchoir sang Walter’'s “Prize Song” from the same opera. Other orchestral offerings were the first movement of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” Symphony; Debussy’s “The Afternoon of a Faun’; Leo Sowerby's arrangement of the old dance tune, “Money Musk,” and Berlioz’ “Rakoczy March.” Mr. Melchoir ‘also sang Strauss’ “Heimliche Aufforderung” and “Music of the Spring,” by Bransen, and sang them thrillingly. As regards the orchestra, special mention might be made of clarity with which the intricate counterpoint of the “Meistersinger” Prelude reached the radio audience; the iridescent beauty of the Debussy music, and the brilliant tonal quality of the “Rakoczy March.” Milton J. Cross, the regular “Magic Key” announcer, was present at the broadcast, having come to Indianapolis after announcing the Metropolitan Opera program of Saturday afternoon. He paid Mr. Sevitzky a well deserved tribute in the course of his remarks, and Mr. Sevitzky, in his performance, conclusively proved to the listening world that he is an artist of unusual ability. The point of attainment to which he has brought the orchestra in 18 months is a prodigious achievement.

" Sixty minutes after the broadcast was over the orchestra again was on the Murat stage, and the house s nearly filled by music lovers eager for a ‘second serving.” .The concert’s feature was the playing of the Glazounov Violin Concerto by Leon Zawisza, the orchestra’s concertmaster. The young violinist’s performance of . this melodious and exceedingly taxing work stamped him as a player of considerably more than ordinary gifts. In fairness to Mr. Zawisza, it should be said that his playing yesterday was immeasurably superior to his first solo appearance in Indianapolis. The Glazounov Concerto is a good-sized handful for any violinist. But he played it without trace of stress or nervousness. His technic is of virtuoso dimensions, and his tone yesterday was full and songful. The audience’s cordial reception was justly merited. The concert opened with some explanatory remarks by Mr. Sevitzky on orchestral color, and proceeded with Berlioz? “Roman Carnival” movements of Mendelssohn's “Italian” Symphony. Fortunately, the first movement, when broadcast, did not go” at the hare-and-hounds
pace Mr. Sevitzky chose in the later concert. . A brilliant exposition of the
Overtuse to Thomas’ “Mignon” and string orchestra's excellent playing of two Grjeg song transcriptions, “Heart Wounds” and “The Last Spring?’ brought the program to some new, novel and pleasant music.
Novel Offering Given It was “Saturday ®ight,” written by Indiana University’s new dean of music, Robert L. Sanders. The title refers to weekly celebrations, rather than ablutions. The music, though original, is built on themes imitative of the American barn dance tunes. Few composers have : turned to these fresh and amusing melodies for inspiration in their frantic search after the true American musical idiom. Mr. Sanders’ composition, though unpretentious, is well constructed, skilfully orchestrated and delightfully effeative. The composer: was in yesterday's audience, and was greeted warmly at the conclusion of his music. In expressions of mutual admiration
and modesty, Mr. Sevitzky applauded Mr. Sanders, and Mr. Sanders rose to ‘applaud Mr.
Sevitzaky and the orchestra. | The concert closed with the heavy and blatant Rhumba movement from Harl MacDonald’s “Rhumba” Symphony. Doubtless the movement’s basic Latin - American rhythm, emphasized by wood blocks, gourds and drums, accounts for its
frequent performance and apparent
popularity. Certainly there is little in its raucous and repetitious music to win a devoted following. E a 8 =»
