Indeed, tho performance wus as good as could bo heard ln any city In the world. Baireuth not excepted, tor. as well as tho chorus, all tho principals princi-pals sang admirably sang, not declaimed and wing romarkably tunefully. Of all, Mr. Grlswold, as Gurnemanz. mado the strongest Impression. By his beautiful voice, his exquisite mexza voce, his dls-linct dls-linct enunciation andhls dramatic Intelligence Intel-ligence ho made a potent appeal to tho audience which was further heightened by a magnetic personality.

Mmo Klrkby Lunn. tho Kundry of tho evening, astonished everybody by tho extraordinary ex-traordinary progress she has made since j-hc sang tho samo music with Mr. Lang. Regarded solely from tho point of vlow of ringing her work yesterday evening was exceedingly good. Unfortunately, how-over, how-over, Kundry Is written for soprano, and Mme. Klrkby Lunn Is a mezzo soprano, so many passages she could nor mako effective, ef-fective, nor, ln truth, is sho actually convincing con-vincing ln her Impersonation. Tho Parsifal Parsi-fal was better, althouzh Mr. Pennarlnl, like Mr. Biseholf. (Amtortas), sang In a foreign tongue. No actor, of course, can mako anything of the first act, but ln the s.cenc with the (lower Klrls. Mr. Ponnarlnl played with high skill, and likewise In the difficult scene where he Is prepared of tho Good Friday rite As a singer, Mr. Pennarlnl appears rather better than most German tenors. There Are Other Unusual Places. Salt Lake musicians and others interested inter-ested In the art who havo striven for years to arouse In the people of thlB city a love lor the highest and best In music, uill appreciate the feelings of J. M. Lo-rctz, Lo-rctz, a leading organist of Brooklyn. N Y.. who, after thirty-live years of hard work ln trying to make Brooklyn musical, musi-cal, has given up In disgust and gone to ftiexlco. Commenting upon It, tho Brook-:vn Brook-:vn Eagle of recent date said: "After all this labor of love, Mr. Loretz finds himself at tho ago of 60 pre-eminent, it Is true, among the musicians of Brooklyn, Brook-lyn, bur forced nevertheless to teach elementary ele-mentary music from 9 o'clock ln tho mornlni." until 10 o'clock at night to maintain main-tain a rc-spectablo livelihood. Ho flnda himself at tho very prime and maturity of llfo with the genius of music crying within him for utterance, unable to spare the tlmo from his humdrum life as a teacher to give expression to tho thoughts and feelings within him. " "To tell you how I feel und why I have decided to go away, ln a single word. I am a disappointed and a disgusted man,' said Mr. Loretz. 'I think, on tho whole, that my disgust with tho Brooklyn public Is stronger than my disappointment. They aro an ungratoful and unapprecla-llvc unapprecla-llvc lot and, with the exception of a very few j)ci3ons, whom I can count on tho I ngers tf my two hands, tney nave aoout is much real love of music or love of ral music us the monkey who rides on a jj hnnd-orpraii. I can 3ay with almoBt lit- j oral truth that there Is hardly a church edifice li this whole borough which raises I is spire toward heaven In which I havo I i-ot played tho organ gratuitously nt D church benefits purely from tho lovo l bear inv art, and tho desire to arouse In others the high and noblo Impulses which good music awakens If I should go to cue of these churches now and ask them to lend me Us use for my own benefit lhe wouldn't know me. I don't like to say sucli a thing, but It Is true that Brooxlvn, even that Brooklyn which prides 'itself on its culture and refinement. refine-ment. Its encouragement of tho artistic and the beautiful, would pav moro money lor one night's ballet dancing with a ragtime rag-time accompaniment than for a season of he best and purest music ever written. Thcv tell each other they are musical until un-til "they believe It. hut they are not. Thinking so for fifty years will not make them so.' " Mr. McClellan. at the Fair. Again tho story of J. J. McClellnn's having hav-ing been slighted by tho music committee of tho "World's fair in not being asked to plav on the great organ ln Festival hall Is being published in tho Eastern capers. Mr. McClellan was a viBltor ln St Louis last week, and this caused tho story to bo republished ln St, Louis and telegraphed to other cities of tho East. When Interviewed, Inter-viewed, George W. Stewart, manager of the bureau of music of the exposition, emphatically em-phatically denied that the failure lo Invite Mr. McClellan lo play at Festival hall was due to anv prejudice against the Utah man because bf his religion, or otherwise Rather, according to Mr. Stewart Itwaa because all the dates had been filled before be-fore Mr. McClcllan's friends asked thct he be given a plnco on the programme, nnd he. with a number of other eminent organists, had to bo omitted. Mr McClellan has Just returned to Salt Lako from his SL Louis visit. He was greatly pleased to have the opportunity of hearing Gullmant. tho renowned French organist and composer, play on tho f estival esti-val hall organ Mr. McClellan considers tho organ ln Festival hall in many respects re-spects a fine Instrumont. but thinks the organists who played there mado the mistake mis-take of choosing too heavy numbers, affording af-fording little opportunity for the masses to really appreclato tho good qualities of the onran , , , . Tho faot that great numbers who attended at-tended tho recitals left after hearing two or three numbers was evidence that the music was not appreciated und had the heavy numbers been interspersed with a few selections with which tho masses are familiar, many would havo gone away with a. better impression of tho organ, and tho organists who played there. Music Notes. Mrs- Eugene Yeaye. wlfo of tho Belgian Bel-gian violinist, will visit America this season sea-son for tho first time. She will not travel about the country, but will remain In Now York and return to Europe in March, when Ysayo starts on his Pacific coast and Australian tour. Honors have fallen fast on Felix Mottl Hlnco his return to Europe, Ho has hardly assumed his duties as GenoralmuBlk director di-rector In Munich when ho was asked to conduct the concerts of the Philharmonic society In Vienna, and accepted the offer. Tho latest Munich Journals bring the news that ho lias now also accepted the post of director of tho Academy of Music in that city, recently vacated by Stavon-hagen. Stavon-hagen. , . Walter Damrosch will bo tho assisting artist at the first of the Knelsel Quartet chamber music concerts, to be given Jn Mendelssohn hall on Tuesday ovenlng, November No-vember 15. Of the roturn of Victor Herbert to New York as a conductor of popular muslo tbo New York Evening Post says: Victor Herbert, to be sure, used to bo a New Yorkor. Everybody interested In music knows that this burly Irlshnmn, after rp-celvlng rp-celvlng a thorough muBlcai education ln Gormnnv. came to America and mado him self famous, first as a solo violonccll st thpn as a writer of the best oporettas over produced In this country; next as a band leader, and finally as the conductor of a permanent orchestra and composer of symphonic poems of unusual merit. If he now returns for a time to the "eld of popular music, no one should chide him, for, to tell the truth, first-class men are much more needed Just at present In tnat lino than In tho moro serious branches of tho art. As a writer of operettas and I as a conductor of Sunday concerts Mr. Herbert Her-bert can dlspcnso happiness by wholesale, as was proved last nleht- At St. Mary'fl cathedrat today Georgo Soffo will sing an "O Salutarls" by Ley-bach. Ley-bach. Nahan Franko has arranged his tour of Germany with the Now York Metropolitan opera-house orchestra. Ho w open In Berlin with a concert ln the Philharmonic, May 15. Then follows a two weeks' en gagemcnt at the Terassen, ln Halcnsce, a fiopulnr Berlin resort, alter which concerts n some of tho principal German cities. A beautiful obollsk of black marble was unveiled In Berlin on September 30 ln memory of tho eminent baritone, Theo-doro Theo-doro Relchmann, who dld on May 22, 1003. It wao erected by Fiau von Miranda, Miran-da, his sister and 30lo heir. Tho highest officials of tho court theaters in Berlin and Vienna attended tho ceremony, which began and ended with selections from "Parsifal." There seems lo bo a lack of onthualasm about raising the 1.000,000 mark fund for tho Wagner stipend at Baireuth. Tho contributions from Baireuth this year amounted to only 10.000 mnrks. The total amount contributed thus far lfl 130,(00 marks, of which 20,000 marks has been donated by foreigners. Arnold Dolmetsch will again visit the United States this season under the management man-agement of W. N. Lawrence. Several evening, as well as matinee, concerts will bo given ln New York prior to his tour, which extends to the Pacific coast. Ho will again glvo music of the olden times, played upon tho Instruments for which it was originally written. Songs of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries will also be sung.
