Concert Soprano Draws Praise for Performance By Paul Cleaver Emerald Critic Bouquets of roses to Mattiwilda Dobbs for her lovely singing Thursday night In McArthur court! Hers can be called one of the astonishingly beautiful voices of our day. A visit with her Thursday aft ernoon immediately revealed, be neath her warm and gracious smile, serious dedication to her career. Miss Dobbs in discussing her career pointed out the difference between the opera stage and the concert stage. Opera demands more of a projection of the voice over the orchestra, where con certizing requires a much more subtle and sensitive projection of what the composer has tried to express, she said. 'Europe . . . Sympathetic’ The singer spoke of the type of audience she preferred. She admitted that generally speak ing, European audiences were more sympathetic because they have been exposed to a richer musical heritage for a longer time than Americans, but that she had encountered responsive audiences all over the United States, also. One cannot help but think she sang to such an audience Thursday night. The first selection on her pro gram, ‘‘Cuatro Madrigales Ama torios,” established immediately her sensitive artistry. Following this she sang five songs of Schu bert. and this beautiful music could not have been more beau tifully executed. The next numbe:f, Egk's "Variations." drew what seemed to be the biggest applause, and rightly so, for the soprano sang this difficult'music with marve lous ease. In Lighter Vein The remainder of the program was devoted to music in a lighter vein. Among the pieces were two selections from Menotti's “The Telephone.'' The sparkle of these i .songs was so contagious that all the audience was laughing right along with the singer, all except ten old ladies sitting in the sec ond row, who didn’t even bother to clap once during the entire evening. As encores Miss Dobbs sang Duke's “A Piper,” and Gershwin’s popular “Summertime.” The singer is open to adverse commentary in two departments. First, her German pronuncia tion was at times so harsh as to detract from the song, and sec ond, her lower registers are yet to be. fully perfected. But these two comments are dwarfed by comparison with her truly great talent.
