two of them are to consist of chamber works, or, more strictly speaking, works for piano and violin, together or separate. Last Saturday's performance was orchestral, the most important item for violin being Max Bruch's Concerto in D minor, No. 2. This unsatisfactory work, which was first heard at the Crystal Palace in 1877, is only rendered tolerable when Señor Sarasate is the executant. His beautiful phrasing, exquiIsite tone, and faultless intonation would make even inferior music acceptable, and he has never played better than on the present occasion. His other solos were Raff's 'La Fée d'Amour,' and his own fantasia on airs from 'Carmen.' These are mere show pieces, enabling Señor Sarasate to display his unrivalled manipulative skill. The purely orchestral works were Liszt's symphonic poem 'Tasso, Lamento e Trionfo,' and Mendelssohn's Overture to 'Athalie.' The former is one of the most acceptable of Liszt's ambitious works, but it needs a conductor thoroughly in sympathy with the music. The rendering under Mr. Cusins was creditable, and nothing more; there was no unity of expression in the orchestra, nor any distinctiveness of character in the interpreta 12 1 tion. The programme of the second Richter Concerton Monday included two symphonies, Mozart's in D, generally known as the Prague Symphony, and Schumann's in B flat. Both of these works are rather out 1 of the usual repertory of these concerts, and Herr Richter deserves the thanks of musicians for including them in his scheme. As regards the interpretation, Mozart re☑ceived far more justice than Schumann. The first symphonic work of the latter composer was rather coarsely played, but the beautiful melodies in Mozart's work were - brought out with charming clearness and expression. The rendering of Beethoven's 'Leonora' Overture, No. 3, and the "Charfreitags - Zauber" from 'Parsifal, left nothing to be desired, but again it is necessary to blame Herr Richter for placing such a vulgar piece of claptrap as Glinka's Komarinskaja' in immediate juxtaposition with Wagner's deeply religious music. Next Monday, in commemoration of the anniversary of the Bayreuth master's birthday, which occurs on the following Wednesday, the programme will be composed entirely of his works, including the "Liebesduett " from 'Die Walküre,' to be sung by Madame Valleria and Mr. Lloyd, the Siegfried Idyll," "Siegfried's Tod," &c. Musical Gossip. ON Thursday Mr. F. H. Cowen signed a contract with the Carl Rosa Opera Company for the production of a new opera. The libretto is to be furnished by Mr. Joseph Bennett, and will be based on a Scandinavian subject. THE full programme of the musical performances in connexion with the Paris Exhibition has been published and is decidedly disappointing. We have already mentioned the wo concerts of Russian music, and to these may be added two by a choir from Christiania, and Tour by a Spanish orchestra from Madrid. England and Germany will, it seems, be enirely unrepresented. MLLE. ESPERANZA KISCH gave a pianoforte ecital at the Steinway Hall on Tuesday afteroon, her programme including Beethoven's Sonata in a flat, Op. 26, and Schumann's Papillons.' We regret to be unable to speak favourably of her performance, both works sune suffering from incorrectness and exaggeration of emphasis. MESSRS. LUDWIG AND WHITEHOUSE gave the second of their chamber concerts at the Princes' Hall on Tuesday evening. The principal works announced were Brahms's Quintet in F, Op. 88; Beethoven's Quartet in B flat, Op. 18, No. 6; and Grieg's Sonata in o minor for piano and violin, Op. 45. Madame Haas was the pianist and Miss Liza Lehmann the vocalist. A CONCERT was given by the Popular Musical Union at Grosvenor House last Saturday afternoon, in aid of the objects of the association. With the nature of these objects our readers are familiar, and we are pleased to notice that the society now fully recognizes that music of a higher class than ballads is appreciated by the masses of the people. During the past year 40,000 persons have attended the concerts, which have included 'The Messiah,' 'The Creation,' 'Judas Maccabæus,' and 'The Redemption. No criticism is necessary concerning Saturday's concert, in which the choir and orchestra of the Union, and Miss Josephine Simon, Madame Sterling, Mr. Claude Ravenhill, and Mr. Johannes Wolff, took part. THE last concert of the Royal Amateur Orches tral Society took place last Saturday evening in St. James's Hall. The best performance was that of the Prelude to 'Lohengrin,' and the worst Liszt's Rhapsody in F, No. 1, in which the strongly marked rhythms were almost obscured, owing to the lack of precision in the strings. Madame Nordica was the vocalist. On the same evening the Stock Exchange Amateur Orchestral Society gave a high-class smoking concert at the Princes' Hall. Exceed ingly creditable performances were given of the overtures to 'Oberon' and 'William Tell,' Massenet's suite 'Scènes Pittoresques,' and Sullivan's incidental music to 'The Merchant of Venice.' Mr. H. Sternberg, a member of the society, evinced much technical skill as a violinist in a piece by Vieuxtemps. MISS CLARA MYERS, an agreeable mezzosoprano vocalist, gave a concert, also on Saturday evening, at Willis's Rooms, with the aid of the St. George's Glee Union. The programme insolo and chorus, and was generally rather above cluded Mendelssohn's 13th Psalm for contralto the average of concerts of this description. recital at the Princes' Hall on Wednesday afterMISS DORA SCHIRMACHER gave a pianoforte noon, her programme containing Weber's Sonata in a flat, Schumann's 'Davidsbündler,' various smaller pieces, and three trifles by Beethoven from the volume of posthumous compositions published by Messrs. Breitkopf & Härtel last year. They are all in the key of c, major or minor, and one of them was originally intended-from the evidence of Beethoven's sketch books-as the finale of the Sonata in a minor, Op. 10, No. 1. It is a characteristic little movement, but certainly inferior to the actual finale of the work named. Miss Schirmacher's playing was, on the whole, rather rough and wanting in refinement. She has plenty of vigour, but lacks delicacy and finish. THE Shinner Quartet, who have greatly improved in ensemble, gave a concert at the Princes' Hall on Wednesday evening. Excellent performances were given of Schubert's Quartet in D minor, and Brahms's Quintet in F minor, Op. 34. Miss Zimmermann was the pianist. MR. DAVID STOTT will shortly issue Miss L. A. Smith's 'Through Romany Songland,' which will contain specimens of the gipsy songs of all countries-words and music. We regret to learn the abandonment, at any rate for the present, of the proposed visit of the Vienna Männer-Gesangverein to London. Misunderstandings unfortunately arose from the ignorance of those who planned the enterprise of the conditions under which alone success can be ensured in the matter of concert-giving in this metropolis. Male-voice choirs are not particularly popular with us, and it is quite a mistake to suppose that the public would have flocked to the Albert Hall to hear a body of singers known only by reputation to musicians, even with the knowledge that the performances were for charitable purposes. We are pleased to hear that Sir Charles Halle will give a series of six concerts at St. James's Hall next winter with his Manchester orchestra. M. MASSENET's new opera 'Esclarmonde' was produced at the Paris Opéra Comique on Wednesday. The plot is fantastic, with a strong admixture of the supernatural element, and the music is said to be in the style of grand opera, resembling that of the same composer's 'Le Roi de Lahore.'

Alexandre Bisson. The original, a clever and saucy piece, worthy in all respects of the pen to which we owe the 'Député de Bombignac,' was produced at the Théâtre de la Renaissance on the 8th of January, 1886, and, after an important change in the cast, ran for a hundred nights. Mr. Buchanannot to respect what, after all, is a secret de polichinelle-has done as well as is to be expected in dealing with a difficult subject. He has preserved some measure of the vitality of the play, has retained the wit of the dialogue, and has even in one case contrived to enhance the humour of a secon dary character. Not more maladroit than the ordinary English adapter is he in dealing with the incidents of the story. The essence of the plot is, however, lost when for a mistress is substituted a wife. In the original Capt. Picardon in going to the wars confides to two old friends, Labarède and Pessonnois, the "belle Angélina," instructing them before all things to take care that during his absence she does not mope. Pessonnois, who is old, meets with little favour, but Labarède spends every night with his charge, and pretends to his wife that he has been at his club. Returning unexpectedly, the captain all but surprises the guilty pair. Labarède escapes after a scrimmage with the concierge, who takes him for a robber, and with the loss of his hat. Pessonnois innocently goes in search of the missing head-gear, and, falling into a guetapens, returns in charge of the police. Labarède, who has now two quarrels upon his hands, becomes the victim of some infamous reprisals on the part of his enemies, and is carried to prison at a moment when he believes his wife is about to elope with a young lover. This position when reached is highly comic. A termination neither very comprehensible nor very workmanlike is forgiven by a public entertained by what has gone before. In the English version Angelina is secretly married to the captain. By this device the prudery of a people which, as has often been said, is more squeamish with regard to names than to things, is satisfied, and the immorality of the play is accentuated. It is useless to deal with other variations. The whole remains amusing in spite of alterations, the cynical change of motive is accepted, and the diaphanous covering which hides nothing and suggests much is respected. The characters meanwhile are measured to their respective exponents. For the three months' suspension, from a ministerial bureau which he never visits, of Pessonnois, who has created a scandal by being dragged through the streets in charge of sergents de ville, is substituted in the case of the English representative the banishment from society of a would-be aristocratic stockbroker. The change fits the part entirely to Mr. Gilbert Farquhar. Hector de Coursensac, a blasé young professor of pessimism, becomes a student of Herbert Spencer, with a scientific jargon and an affectation of indifference contrasting with his keen regard to his own interest. In the hands of Mr. Cyril Maude this is the best part in the piece. Mr. Thomas Thorne plays the principal character, first taken by M. Saint-Germain and subsequently by M. Noblet. He is painstaking, but his style, grave rather than airy, is not well suited to the part. Madame Labarède, the martial wife of the hero, the daughter of a maître d'escrime, ready to take upon herself the quarrels which her husband only seeks to shun, becomes not too conceivable in English. In the part Madame Desclauzas, who replaced Mlle. Dunoyer, obtained a great success. Miss Homfreys looked the character, but was scarcely at home in it. Angelina' was received with favour, and is to be repeated on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. As an instance of the disadvantage attending the method of treatment necessary apparently in England, it may be said that the most amusing scene in the French comedy-one in which Pessonnois, the new possessor of the frail Angelina, discovers her in compromising association with his predecessor is entirely omitted. How to deal with pieces of this class is a known crux. Perhaps the best plan is to leave them "severely alone." 'Le Flibustier' of M. Jean Richepin was given at the Comédie Française on the 14th of May in last year. It is a pretty, touching, and idyllic piece, the action of which passes at St. Malo in the beginning of the present century. To prevent the shock which the death of his grandson will inflict upon an old Breton sailor, a young shipmate is persuaded to personate the absentee. He is taken to the heart of the old mariner, and to that of Janik his pretty grandchild, the affianced wife of her missing cousin. The youth supposed to be dead returns, and charges with treachery the man he finds installed in his place. After some scenes of passion and of tenderness the new-comer, no longer a sailor, but a flibustier, sees that there has been no disloyalty, returns to his wanderings, and all is well. The betrothal of children of ten and four respectively seems a not too probable incident, and the self-accusations of two young people who follow the impulses of their own hearts are excessive. All is, however, pretty and tender, and the piece is played with great delicacy by Mr. Alexander and Miss Calhoun as the lovers, Mr. Масlean as the old sailor, Mr. F. Terry as the flibustier, and Mrs. Billington as the mother of the heroine. Dramatic Gossip. F. V. WHITE & CO.'S RECENT PUBLICATIONS. NOVELS AT ALL CIRCULATING LIBRARIES. A LOST WIFE. By Mrs. H.

Nor have these anticipations been disappointed. Severed Ties' is so good a first book that very great things may be expected from its writer in the future.

Crown 8vo. cloth extra, 68. Miss Howard's new story promises to be one of the most notable literary features of this season. The scene of the novel is laid in Germany, but the characters are sketched with such distinctness that even if one has never visited Germany he feels as though he must have known the various persons who figure in the story. The hero is a German Count, who suffers a misfortune, in consequence of which he practically renounces the world. The heroine is one of the most delightful women one could name in a wide range of fiction. The mother of the Count and her household, including a very vivacious lady's-maid, an army officer, a woman of fashion, and some minor persons no less cleverly drawn though not so prominent, complete the list of characters.
