is getting out of hand: "The or chestras now are little short of being symphonic Avhosefult orchestrations all but swallow the soloists and chorus Instead of performing the simple duties they were intended for in operatic accompaniment On the other hand most soloists are thrown together with little rehearsal and likely as not they will sing in two or three different languages which makes for piecework instead of a synthetic whole" Such conditions however do not exist in the Salzburg group if report is true These artists submerge all elements tending to destroy perfect balance of voices and orchestra and through long association use of the original language and sameness of purpose are able to present the scores in their true Mr Biddle is highly esteemed as a muralist having been
