MIME MATZENHUER
DECLARED WONDERFUE
“There Is No Greater Sing
er,” Says Madame McGrew.
THREE ARTISTS COMING
La Forge and Carver Also Said
To Be Delightful.
“There isn’t any bigger singer either
in opera or on the concert stage than
Madame Matzenauer,” said Madame
Rose McGrew, head of the vocal de
partment of the University school of
music, of the artist who will appear in
concert in Villard hall Saturday evening
April 16. “She was already famous at
the time of her coming to the United
States and since that time she has de
veloped wonderfully.”
“When I first heard of Madame Mat
zenauer, in Germany, she was well
known as a contralto. It was in the
United States that her soprano voice was
discovered,” Madame McGrew contin
ued. “This ability to sing in either so
prano or contralto is quite a remarkable
thing. She sings all over the piano key
board.”
The program to be given in Eugene
brings out the versatility of the voice of
the great singer. “IOrlking,” by Helm
bert, is a soprano song of great range.
“Spring Night,” by Schumann, is also
for soprano and yet on the same pro
gram is found the aria from “Le Proph
ete” which is one of the greatest of con
tralto numbers.
Dramatic and concert qualities are a1
happily mingled in her singing as are the
ranges of her voice. Her dramatic num
bers such ns “Before the Crucifix,”
La Forge, and the “Erlldng,” are sung
in a way long to be remembered. “Den
ver went wild over Madame Matzen
aucr’s rendition of “Before the Cruci
fix.” said Madame McGrew, who was in
that city at the time. “It was one of
the most dramatic things ever sung
there. People talked about it for a
year or more.”
Lighter songs are sung equally well
according to Madame McGrew. Her up
per tones are for the most part sung
lightly and for that reason carry beau
tifully. Then when she delivers the
stronger parts they are all the more
telling because they are fresh.
“Anything that may be said in praise
of Madame Matzenauer will not lie an
exaggeration.” Madame McGrew said.
“She will certainly make good even the
wildest boast of her powers.”
Frank La Forge, the accompanist
for the concert, is spoken of as follows j
by the Oregon Journal; i
“Mr. La Forge is without doubt
America’s best - known composer-pian
ist. Ilis songs arc used by many great .
artists on their concert programs.”
Charles Sarver, American basso, who
will assist the Madame in her concert
o!no receives mention by the Journal.
“Mr. Carver will be remembered by local
concert goers as the young giant whose
beautiful basso so delighted those who
attended Mine. Schumann-Heink’s con
cert at the Heilig several seasonsingo.”
Carver will sing the aria from “The
Mftgic Flute” which in the original is the
lowest aria ever written.
Tickets for the Matzenauer concert
are being sold by members of the Ore
gon Music Council. A reduction of
fifty cents on tickets lias been made for

concert. This puts the student price nt
$1.00. Seats may be reserved for 25
