Bidu Sayao Discloses Voice of Clarity And Brilliance in Martens Concert

AN ATTRACTIVE, EBULLIENT consignment of Latin temperament made its appearance on English’s stage last night in the person of Bidu Sayao, the only South American star in the Metropolitan Opera

constellation. 3

An enthusiastic audience welcomed the Brazilian soprano, whose scheduled appearance for this Martens recital in October had heen

postponed because of illness. That the audience’s size did not match its enthusiasm may have been due to the fact that Mme. Sayao’s appearance coincided with two

political banquets, which are oc-

siions near and dear to the Hoosier heart. With her red-gold hair and peaches - and - cream complexion, Mme. Sayao does not look. particularly Eatin. But the breadth and expansiveness of her interpretations —to say nothing of some arch glances—were definitely on the sultry side. ” s ”

AS FOR THE MUSIC, which after all is the excuse for these

words, the recitalist disclosed a

voice of clarity, point and bril~liance. And she employed it with

rare good sense. In the matter of timbre and power, it is of limited possibilities, and Mme. Sayao certainly realizes this. Consequently there never was a time last night when she forced it beyond its limits. ; Instead, her listeners were treated to some polished phrasing, flexible coloratura and an intimate and winning manner of presentation. s =» = THE PROGRAM was comprised of lyrics by Lully, Gluck and Campra, by List, Chopin, SaintSaens, the Spaniards Longas and Obradors, Carey, Wintter Watts and Vene. 5 For more substantial fare, the artist sang the “Caro Nome” from’ “Rigoletto,” the Waltz Song from “Romeo et Juliette” and, as an encore, - the Gavotte from “Manon.’ And it should be added that in the matter of encores, Mme. Sayao was as generous as her listeners were clamorous in their demands. In general, the evéning’s best singing came in the opgratic excerpts and the French group. Elsewhere it might be noted that | Mme. Sayao seldom passed up a chance to retard a climactic phrase or to hold out a high tone to great length, even at the expense of text and musical continuity. But there is no point in lengthy cavil about a singer whose charm and talent bestowed a generous portion of enjoyment. Milne Charnley, the accompanist, was a musicianly collaborator and a pleasing player, although his contribution to the two Longas songs were of almost concerto proportions. : 2 8 =n

Press and public are confronted with one of the infrequent conflicts on our musical calendar next Sunday, when a song recital by George Newton and a popular concert by the Symphony Orchestra are scheduled for the afternoon hours. Accordingly Mr. Newton has set . back his starting time at English’s from 3 to 3:30 p. m., which won't solve the problem of the customer's

being two places at once, but will give him a good sample of each performance. : ” ” ”

INCLUDED ON MR. NEWTON’S program is a A. Walter Kramer’s song, “The Last Hour,” which is a setting of a poem by Mrs. Demarchus Brown, Indianapolis * writer and lecturer. Mrs. Brown says of the poem

that it arose from conversation with her husband, in which she asked him what he would do if he knew he had but an hour to live. He replied that he would endeavor to set his affairs in order and say goodbye to his friends. Mrs. Brown said, that for her part, she was sure that she would do nothing except sit and ‘wait it out.” Her thoughts on the subject were expressed into a sonnet, which appeared.in a newspaper. It was there that Mr. Kramer saw it and took nine lines as the basis for his song. Other composers represented on the recital list are Dowland, Handel, Mozart, Schubert, Strauss and Mussorgsgky, as well as-a closing group of English and American songs and ballads. Mr. Newton who is a bass-baritone, will be accompanied by Dorothy -Merrill Ritter. os ” »

THE ORCHESTRA'S CONCERT will proceed at the Murat at the announced time of 3 p. m,, with- Fabien Sevitzky conducting. Soloists well be Joseph Bloch, young Indianapolis pianist, and

Julio Mazzocca. the orchestra's. ‘first clarinetist.

Tonight the orchestra will play the first of its 10 out-of-town concerts this season. This will be at Indiana University. On Thursday night, a concert is scheduled at Ball State Teachers College, Muncie. Other away-from-home appearances will be at Beloit, Wis., Feb. 5; Lafayette (two. concerts), Feb. 6; Evansville, March 5; Bloomington (two concerts), March .7; and Champaign, Ill, March 27.

” ” »

On tonight's program will be the Little Symphony by Robert L. Sanders, dean of the Indiana University music school. Other listed works are Stravinsky’s “Fire Bird” Suite and the Symphony in D major by Sibelius. Samuel Barber, Franck, Johann Strauss, Tschaikowsky and Wagner are represented on the Muncie program for Thursday.

The book discusses present-day condition of Christian churches throughout the entire world. * Fiction books, dealing with adventure also are an important part of the missionary book field,” he said.

HIGH GOURT UPHOLDS TRUSTEE'S ELECTION

The Indiana Supreme Court has affirmed the election of Evert Conrad as ‘trustee of Columbia Townip, Dubois County, after more than a year of court battles. The 1938 Election Canvassing ‘Board gave Mr. Conrad 268 votes and the incumbent, Clarence Cave, 256 votes.
