The Elgar Concert City Hall
f
HE Elgar evening at the City on Tuesday night was notab' the austerity of 1.he music, th1 terity of Mr. J. Shulman-theE violinist-and the unremitting work of Mr. John Connell, th ductor nf the orchestra. The ol1li1~f for the majority of th audience which :tttended this S(!l'o.nd session of tl~e. annuaf.
!
fef-'.t1val, was Opus 3h, the 1[a
"f•;nigma Variations." Why at when emotional starvation, 1 1 qu~nt on the closing down i9~
legitimate theatre and other ca resulting in the accretion of l.i$il to symphonic music, so celebr caterer to public taste as Mr.
: c
should give undiluted Elgar ftj two and a half hours is in itse enigma which defies solution:
That Elgar was a great
EL
composer is admitted, and as s1ub work tleserves attention.
Th' alt
was profoundly sensitive and!
I
markable writer of orchestratt also true, but it is doubtful if:h:
fully escaped the cast iron seve the age he was born and
w
The three great "B's" com~
nearer to the eternal warmlbJ, verities of life such as we long\t and feel in these days parti~1h
Hence, though the Symphony1
I
and the Concerto dedicated to Kreisler and performed by hiii 1910 gave moments of grande profundity, the prevailing feelinp attention and respect rathe~
enthusiasm.
The Concerto in particular to have been written with an· eP.
rather an ear, to testing the
lih
violin technique, and in this: ·r Mr. Shulman was fully equal t occasion. He al~o imparted t work the appreciation of a s.
musician, especially in the
,, 9
movement. Elgar is, howeve the aesthetically detached and latively cultivated musical tast as it i~ Mr. Connell's mission
; t
cute and elevate the musical fa the city, he is to be congratufa hi!' confidence and thankecl f
•arnest labours.
