“Estelle Liebling Wins Plaudits”
“And Proved
to be the most skillful and artistic vocalist that has appeared with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in many a day.”
Her singing was thoroughly artistic, and her choice of numbers exceptionally interesting.—Minneapolis Daily News, December 1, 1921.
The Conchita aria, extremely well orchestrated, was best of all, and showed the soloist to great advantage. Her upper tones are of good quality, brilliant, and carry easily.—Minneapolis Morning Tribune, December 1, 1921.
Estelle Liebling, soprano, proved to be the most skillful and artistic vocalist that has appeared with the Symphony Orchestra in many a day. Miss Liebling, whose Mozart interpretation ranked very high, entirely won her audience with her equally artistic and infinitely grateful rendition of “O beaux rêves évanouis,” by Saint-Saëns. She instilled with rare fascination of dramatic life the aria from “Conchita,” by Zandonai. Enthusiastically recalled, she sang as extra numbers two French songs, with récherché artistry marking all her work.—Minneapolis Journal, December 1, 1921.

— And Chicago's Opinion
Last year, when Miss Liebling gave a recital at Orchestra Hall, the hall was only partially filled. But good news travels, and this year I could not see an unoccupied seat in the Blackstone Theater, where Miss Lieb-ling’s 1921 recital took place. Her art merits this recognition, for Miss Liebling, as a singer with the combination of talent and brains, has a voice that lends itself to the demands of text and music, and unerring artistic taste and discretion.
Her program contained new and interesting songs. These were detailed with all of her charm, a lovely mezza voce and an interpretation beyond critique. She may be sure of a constant and admiring public whenever she comes to this city. She is a delightful, sincere and interesting artist.—Chicago American, November 20, 1921.
Estelle Liebling gave a recital of songs at the Black-stone Theater yesterday afternoon. Her big audience was unusually enthusiastic, and rightly so. Miss Liebling sings with a beautiful voice and with a fine sense of what modern songs are driving at. It is rare to hear the new in song sent across the platform with a style and■ a voice which are equally sound. She ought to come often to Chicago, but in coming she ought to sing only the best new songs she can find, for she can make even the good ones effective.—Chicago Journal, November 20, 1921.
Miss Liebling sang charmingly the songs that I was able to hear. The tone was mellow, under excellent control, and of ample volume. She had the spirit of the music, and sang with appreciation and much variety of tone coloring. It was excellent song singing—Chicago Evening Post, November 20, 1921.
