Alfred Wilhelm Hansen Dead
Alfred Wilhelm Hansen, head of the well known European music publishing house of Hansen, the largest firm of its kind in northern Europe, with headquarters at Copenhagen and branches in numerous other cities, recently died in the Danish capital. It was through Mr. Hansen’s house that nearly all of the Scandinavian composers known today were introduced to public notice. The business will be continued under the direction of his two sons, Asger and Sven.

tellectual appreciation and sensing of their dignified style, Mr. Werrenrath’s interpretations of these rarely heard masterpieces was a vital experience to everyone, especially to Brahms lovers. Three Grieg songs, also too seldom heard, were excellently done and the Credo, from Verdi’s Othello, attained a high point dramatically. Harry Spier accompanied efficiently and effectively. Although this was Werrenrath’s third recital it is to be regretted that the season, as far as such artists go, is so short.
Mr. Henderson writes in the Herald: “These characteristic lyrics of Brahms are not sung often. Indeed they could not be, for they are too deeply felt, too profoundly thought and too nobly expressed to appeal to many thousands of hearers. But Mr. Werrenrath’s followers are faithful to him whatever heights he ascends, and his interpretation of this set of songs was heard yesterday with close attention and followed by a demonstration which had every evidence of sincerity.
ROSA RAISA AND GIACOMO RIMINI
It took all of the tremendous capacity of the Hippodrome to ׳accommodate^ the people who tried to hear Rosa Raisa and Giacomo Rimini at the matinee recital Sunday afternoon, April8.
Every time Rosa Raisa comes to New York for a recital she seems in better voice. Only one word can properly describe her singing on Sunday afternoon, and that is “beautiful.” _ Of course, she was expected to offer some great operatic selections, and she did not disappoint. This time, however, she made a departure from her usual program and included a group by Woodman and Hageman, sung in English. In these she revealed the wonderful interpretive artist that she is.
Mr. Rimini sang an aria from Hamlet and another from Ernani, revealing a splendid voice. Compared with such an artist’s voice as Raisa, anyone is liable to suffer by comparison, but there is no question, however, of Mr. Rimini’s ability. He gave great pleasure and was heartily encored. Needless to say, the two artists rendered the usual duets. The clamor for encores was graciously acknowledged by both.
/The complete program follows:	Bolero, from Vespri
Sicilian¡ (Verdi), Mme. Raisa; Drinking Song, from Hamlet (Thomas), Mr. Rimini; group of Russian songs— Autumn (Arensky), O, Cease Thy Singing (Rachmaninoff), Be It Bright Day (Tschaikowsky), Mme. Raisa; duet, Squille Soavi (Denza), Mme. Raisa and Mr. Rimini; English group—Ashes of Roses (Woodman), Happiness (Hage-man), At the Well (Hageman), Mme. Raisa; aria from Fedora (Giordano), Warrior Song (Briill), Mr. Rimini; aria from Ernani (Verdi), Mme. Raisa; duet from Don Pasquale (Donizetti), Mme. Raisa and Mr. Rimini.

Stamford, Conn., March 29.—The Schubert Club Recital, March 28, was given by Valerie Deucher, soprano, and was in the form of a costufne song recital. Her first group, most artistically rendered, was made up of old French chansons. The next group was sung in a picturesque Bretonne costume and included such numbers as Avec mes Sabot and Ronde des Filles de Quimperle. Her other two groups were of American Indian and Negro Spirituals.
At the state contest for young artists, held in Sprague Hall, New Haven, March 24, Carolyn Finney Springer won highest standing, also winning the cash prize given to the contestant holding the highest points. Miss Springer is a member of the Schubert Club.	E. A. F.

Symphony, played by the orchestra, and Josef Lhevinne was again the soloist, playing Liszt’s E flat concerto for piano and orchestra.
There were a great many empty seats which was quite a surprise, but those who had.aweathered the bad day were most enthusiastic, and in truth the performance deserved all of the bravos received. Lhevinne played brilliantly, and received one of the most demonstrative greetings any artist has been accorded at these concerts. He was forced to bow numerous times. Mr. Mengelberg was also the recipient of much applause, and made a brief acknowledgment, thanking the audience for their ovation. The Philharmonic concerts for the season have been unusually interesting, and the musicians have played as brilliantly as Mr. Mengelberg has conducted.
ruby McDonald
Ruby McDonald, an Australian violinist, was heard in a violin recital at the Princess Theater, Sunday evening. Her prograrn was an exacting one, to which her powers of technic and interpretation proved equal. Her program consisted of Tartini’s Pastorale, the presto from Raff’s C minor sonata, a Mendelssohn concerto and shorter numbers by Glinka-Balakireff-Auer, Sarasate, Hummel, Schumann and Schu-bert-Kreisler, also two Irish airs arranged by Miss McDonald. A broad, full tone, sympathy of interpretation and vigor marked her performance.
GEORGIA MacMULLEN
Georgia MacMullen, soprano, rendered an interesting program at the Princess Theater, Sunday afternoon. Her songs comprised groups of German (Schubert, Brahms and Riickauf), French (Reynaldo Hahn, Debussy, Pierne and Decreus) and English, with arias from Die Tote Stadt (Korngold) and Herodiade (Massenet). Songs by Carl Hahn, Werner Josten, Wintter Watts, Charles Huerter and La Forge made up her last group. Miss MacMullen has a voice which, though not large, is very sweet in quality. Her excellent diction adds to the pleasure her singing affords. Coenraad Bos played his usual artistic accompaniments.
REINALD WERRENRATH
A throng of admirers of Reinald Werrenrath crowded Carnegie Hall, April 8, each hoping to hear his favorite Werrenrath interpretation during the course of the program announced as popular. Not many could have been disappointed considering the number of items listed and encores given. There were many sea ballads, including Duna, love songs and songs of home and mother. None of his popular successes were withheld, not even Mandalay. And everyone was delighted and clamored for more. It is not hard to understand why the average audience enjoys hearing this robust young baritone sing this sort of thing. Such songs reflect the tendency of Americans to be normally sentimental and Mr. Werrenrath sings them sincerely, with frank desire to convince and with such meticulous enunciation that every word is intelligible.
But Mr. Werrenrath has a great deal more than a beautiful voice under perfect control, virility and an understanding of human nature. The subtly well-made program had ample ballast on the side of seriousness, notably the four Brahms’ settings of Biblical texts from Ecclesiastes, the Apocrypha and Corinthians I. Evidencing the highest in-
