Music Association Hears
Lyric Tenor Tuesday Night
By H. D. WERNER
Cesare Valletta, lyric tenor,
ang last night for the members
of the Civic Music association
at the Medford High school aud
itorium. And such singing as has very
seldom been heard hereabouts
for many a moon. From his first
offering by Handel to his final
encore, the auditorium was bath
ed in lovely tone, effortlessly
produced and consummately pre
sented. Effortless Singing
Hi Italian group by Sarti and
Scarlatti ' were examples of
pure tonal production by com
posers who knew the human
singing voice. The lieder of
Schumann, in German a dif
ficult language to sing, were
In the French songs of Faure",
Debussy and Poulenc we were
regaled with many facets of his
interpretive art ranging through
tenderness, sadness, defeat and
nostalgia.
Final Group
The final group by Hageman,
Dello Joio and Watts were in
English and all understandable.
We prefer Purcell's music
"There is a Lady Sweet and
Kind" to the one of Joip.
But the high point of the eve
ning came when Vailetti sang
"II Mio Tesoro" from Mozart's
Don Giovanni, as an encore.
This was singing of the purest
kind. Supreme breath control,
agility, phrasing and exquisite
taste. Mozart, himself a stickler
for taste, would have been most
pleased. The audience felt it

sung most effortlessly. There island responded heartily.

The other members of the
a temptation in German singing
to shout and bark but Vailetti
is too great an artist to succumb
to it. Never did he descend from
his high level of tonal coloring
and artistic phrasing.
The beautiful aria from L'Ar
lesiana by Cilea was a most
happy choice, in which Vailetti
displayed genuine dramatic ability.
A most beautiful voice, a
great singer, a magnificent art
ist has brought to us again the
"golden age of song."
The accompanying by Henry
Holt at the piano was of the
same high order as the tenor's
singing. He was always at one
with the artist and always sup
ported him most sympathetically.
