BOUQUETS Of ROSES . . .
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.

Today is the deadline for so
rority pledge classes to enter
skits in the AWS auction, to be

Clark, general chairman.
