MUSICIAN RENDERS : PLEASING RECITAL

Mr?. Julia Rode Assisted on Program bv Loui? Elbel v. m and Mi? Bondurant. Seldom in one musical season have been presented such a coterie of excellent recitals, a goodly number of which have been rendered by lecal ' musicians as the one which was concluded last nicht by Mrs ,st nicht by Mr. Jull. no. in a program h ch brilliance anything heard Rode, sopran equalled In brl here this reason Assisting Mrs. Rode and eor.trlbutinc verv matsriallv to the success of the evening were Ixniis Elbe', pi- ! ar.ist. and Miss Valeria Rondurant of ' rL. m - M ir- . . . V. 11 an ' cnirago, lormeriy oi r-uui ajc. . who so capably accompanied the soloist. The recital was held in the j Tapestry room of the 'Oliver. j Mrs. Rode is possessive of a soprano voice that is superb In ts flexibility and full range. It is of a( timhr that lends itself equally well ; to the Intensely dramatic -ria . Michael from Carmen or the tender. plalntiveness . of Sidney Homers "Sick Child", both of -uhich Mrs. Rode interpreted last nicht in unerring moods exacted by the compositions. The singer hae an ease of delivery and charming enunciation which was a real Jc-y to her audience. Although she has been tutoring for the past two years under the di- ! rection of one of New York's famous teachers, the intense study of technie has usurped nothing from the ( natural freshness and unaffectedr.es of her voice. A nle.aing selection of g fn their themes onlv serve to accentuate the versatility of the sinper'a talents. Remarkably smooth were the transitions in the measures of every number. Mr. Rlbei's complete mastery of the piano keyboard and his exquisite interpretations are so perreotj that adequate rraise of his renditions present a difficult task to the ( reviewer, who is limited to written j words. Suffice it to jmv that Mr. ' Eibele part on the program Tuesday night was exceedingly delightful from even' aspect. Played with particular skill was the "Mephisto Walzer" by Riszt. Three compositions by the artist himself evoke I a most enthusiastic applause from his audience. South Rend may indeed be pardoned for entertaining a great deal of pride in the possession of an artist of Mr. Rlbel's cal ibre. As an accompanist. Miss Valeria Rondurant left nothing to be desired. Her sympathetic following of the singer's moods and her trained musicianship as exemplified in her faultless r laving would lend encouraging support to any singer- j The audience last night was happv j . t t T" r n A I to welcome duuuuio.h c.. glad to claim her as its own.
