From the Metropolitan Papers Only
Miss Norma Sauter played the "Fantasie Appassionata" by Vieuxtemps with spirit and dash. She possesses a large sympathetic tone, and has an abundance of temperament and emotion.— Boston
Globe.
Miss Edna White played Rhapsodie Heroique, by Armand Raynaud, with orchestral accompaniment. She possesses the tech¬nique and accuracy of touch which is expected of a mature per¬former, without exhibiting weariness of either mind or body.— New
York Tribune.
Of the many numbers on the program there was none that was so finely done as those of Mr. C. Pol Plancon, baritone. In each instance his solos were excellently given and served to mark the zenith of artistic finish in all that a true lover of music could desire, which fact alone accounted for the ovation given the singer at the conclusion.— Boston Post.
The novelty of the evening was the playing of the AIDA TRUMPET QUARTETTE, an organization of four young women whose attractiveness and excellent playing won the audience. The usual blatant qualities of the trumpets were subdued until the tonal effect was soft and delicate, and the appreciation of this fact com¬pelled several numbers to be added on the program.— Musical America.
Mr. C. Pol Plancon possesses an exceptional baritone voice of wide range and power. His singing last evening was characterized by a fidelity to correctness in tonal expression that was admirable, while his phrasing in general was perfect, marking his work with a finish that could not help but bring forth such rounds of applause as were accorded him.— Boston Globe.
Miss Norma Sauter handled her instrument with the skill of a master playing the Fantasie Appassionata by Vieuxtemps.— Cleve¬land Leader.
She enjoys the unique distinction of being the youngest solo trumpeter in the world, and has gained an almost international reputation.— New York World.
Miss Cora Sauter delighted her hearers with the excellent ex¬ecution of the cello and the beautiful tones which she produced from it. She played the "Vito" by Popper and the audience was most appreciative of the splendid work.— Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
With a grace and ease of manner that made his singing all the more delightful to those assembled, Mr. C. Pol Plancon sang his way into the hearts of the entire audience. He had several selections on the program, the most notable of which was the "Nom piu andrai" (Mozart), from "Figaro," which he sang with a finesse sufficient to mark him as one of exceptional capabilities. Each of his numbers was well received.— Boston Herald.
This young woman's performance astonished the audience. Her bowing is graceful and very fine, while the difficult and intri¬cate  passages were remarkable  for   facility  and dexterity.— N. Y.
Clipper.
The youthful violincellist, Miss Cora Sauter, was enthusiastic¬ally encored for her artistic rendition of the Golterman concerto, which she performed with skill and temperament.— Brooklyn Daily
