On Thursday evening at Carnegie hall, the Russlon Symphony orchestra, under Mr. Modest Altsohuler, presented a new symphony by Borlablne, "The Divine Poem." While it may have been enjoyed by the elect. Ita length, fifty uilnuten without lntel,ruptluii"dldnnet call for any demonatratlon of wild ap proval from the late eomera, who bad to stand until tha end." Thla symphony which Is tha composer's third, la noisy and full of fury, brilliantly orchestrated. bat reminiscent In theme of "Trtstsn and "The Ring." . The composer's In tentlon la thus sst forth la a program note: "The composer of La Divln Poemr haa sought to axpreaa therein aome thing of the emotional (and therefore tnuai eally communicable) side of his phi losophy of life. M. Scrlablne is neither a pantheist nor a theosophlst yet his ereed Includes Ideas somewhat related to each of these schools of thought Slow Introduction. . -" ,1 "A short, slow introduction proclalma the opening theme, which to the com- poeer mesne the affirmation of con acloua existence, of the oo-exlatence of matter -and spirit In the ego. Thla theme.- begun ' by the - baaaoons - and baases, enda with a militant ascending Interval in the trumpets that may be the equivalent of Je suls (I am). The spirit that affirms is affrighted at the audacity of its thought and sinks into an abyss of mysticism A struggle' be gins between two forms of the new allegro theme of th flrat movement, aa in a soul now confident now obsessed by doubt and fear. Tha slow movement Voluptes,Ms built upon two contrasting theinea. ' The first Introduced by the flutes,' denotes - to the composer the soul's affirmation of the sublime; the second, given out by a aolo-vloltn, the desire of the soul for the ecstatic joy of self-annihilation of 'the merging of the aplrtt into nature. The final allegro 'Jeu Divln,' brings up In, large and tri umphant form the theme of affirm ation of -the Introduction, Kneiset Quiet Broken. Alwln Behroeder, the Knetael 'celllat waa the soloist of the evening, and it must have been as a shock to his soul, after the placid appreciation of Knetael audiences, to be greeted witn such a popular tumult aa met him on this, his virtuoso debut He took his dosen re calls very modestly, while his three brothers ' In art the other ' Knetaels, grinned delightedly-from the audience; Lhevlnne, the Rusalan ptaniat made hla . third appearance on Thursday- af ternoon at Carnegie halt ' Personally I was somewhat - disappointed in - him. In the early part of the program he in dulged la exaggerated eontraeta In tempo and dynamica, and at times hs pounded the piano unmercifully. The program was divided midway by a suite by ArencKI for two pianos. In this number, a pretty sample of. salon mualo. but of no permanent value, the second piano was played by Mrs. Lhevlnne. The ensemble wss admirable and the players were received with so much en thusiasm thst they added an encore. In the remainder of the program Mr. Lhevlnne displayed a brilliant technic. particularly In Llait's A flat "Colree de .Vienna" , - .
