THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
A YOUNG 'cellist, Pablo Casals, made a
** great success in Barcelona, where he
appeared in concert with Harold Bauer.
Young Casals is a Spaniard.
Lucien Wurmser made a highly success-
ful debut at the Salle Beethoven, Berlin, in
a piano recital.
Among the artists to appear in Cologne
this season are Diemer, Busoni, Ysaye, Pa-
derewski, Maxau de Sandt, Roger-Miclos
and others.
Clothilde Kleeberg, one of the most re-
nowned of feminine pianists, is to be mar-
ried very shortly to Charles Samuel, a Bel-
gian sculptor.
Mme. Ohmstrom-Renard and Miss Re-
becca Mackenzie, who have been identified
with New York for some years, are giving
concerts with successful results in Stock-
holm.
It is positively stated that Calve, who is
not in good health, will pass the winter in
Cairo. The part which she was to have
played in Bruneau's Ouragan has been
given to Mme. Raunay, but there is yet
hope that she will create the title role of
Titania, by G. Hue, and that she will sing
the Armide of Gliick.
A Philharmonic Society has just been
formed in Paris which consists of the best
artists known. It will be directed by M.
F. Barrau. The first concert will be a
notable one to occur in December and the
program will be devoted to Massenet.
Impresario Alexander Rose has ar-
ranged appearances in Vienna for next sea-
son of the following artists. Singers:
Mmes. Marcella Pregi, Eleonore Blanc,
Charlotte Wyns, Helene Gulbranson, Mar-
cella Lindh, Adrienne Osborne, Kraus,
Messrs. H. Knote, Ernest Kraus, Dr.
Felix Kraus, Antoine Van Rooy.
Piano: Messrs. Ricardo Vines, H.
Bauer, Ed. Neuss, Carl Friedberg. Mmes.
Katharina Goodson, Henriette Scehlle.
Violin : Messrs. Felix Berber, Carl
Flesch, M. Hayot, Jan Kubelik, Schmedes,
Cesar Thomson, Frida, Scotta-Kaulbach.
Cello: M. Julius Klengel.
Marsick, former violin professor of the
Paris Conservatory, is locating permanent-
ly at Brussels.
Henri Marteau, the well-known violinist,
is to be married at Geneva, where he has
just located as professor of the conserva-
tory. Mile. Agnes von Ernst is the happy
girl.
Lilli Lehmann and Conrad Ansorge were
soloists with Nikisch at the second Phil-
harmonic concert in Berlin.
Henri Marteau played the Sinding Con-
certo for violin with Nikisch, November 5.
Isadore Seiss resigned his position as
conductor of the Musical Society of Col-
ogne.
Adele aus der Ohe gave a recital in Ber-
lin, the program consisting entirely of her
own compositions.
Leoncavallo, of Pagliacci and Zaza fame,
is writing the music to a book by Fontana.
It is to be called Passariello and it is laid
in Naples.
certs at Dantzig, which double post he held
from 1890 to 1896, and then the next three
years he was conductor of the Philhar-
monic choral and orchestral concerts at
Bremen.
The favorite and evidently the best-
fitted man for the place, Wilhelm Berger,
was handicapped by "his friendship with
Jewish people, his marriage to a wife of
Jewish lineage and because he never went
to church."
Wilhelm Berger was born in Boston and
went to Germany when two or three years
of age. A symphony of his was presented
by the Boston Symphony orchestra last
season in which Berger proved himself a
thorough and sincere musician.
Every Saturday evening at St. James'
Hall, London, there will during the win-
ter, be cheap orchestral concerts, similar
to those which were organized by the late
Heath Mills. Among the recital and other
concert-givers will be Rosenthal, M. Pad-
erewski, Reisenauer, Frederick Dawson
Henry Bird, Donald Tovey, Miss Elzy,
Herr Kupferschmidt, and several others.
