Ethnologlcally Jean Sibelius bears no kinship whatever to Grieg, hlndlng or Mendsen The Finns are to i-ome extent a racial puzzle, secondary only to the Basques in point of msterlous origin Swedes and Norsemen aie only geographical neighbors. Ihls Inconsistent) aside, the Sibelius num. tiers rich In Imaginative beauty and fresh ness of Inspiration, were particularly welcome on a program that touches no profundities of musical art. Grieg Is, of course, a might) torce In music, but tong writing was his supreme pi ov Ince, and the two Instrumental trifles interpreted by Ml. Stokowskl yesterday scarcely suggested the potency of his genius These selections were the melodious and haunting S)iaphonlo Dance No 2 and the tenderly sentimental "Aftenstemmlng" from tho 'Lyric Suite." Both were exquisitely played. , Tho loutino and rather nols) musicianship of Christian Hlndlng, author of the Irritating, ly overexploited "Rustlings of Sitting, was displaced In his tuneful, but shallow and un Intellectual bjmphony In D .Minor. The work Is romantic In Intuition and )et curiously lacking In the ver) eloquence It keeks to uttaln The storing Is In the elaborate mod em st)le und the orchestral coloring at times suggestive of Goldmark. Jaernefelt's dainty nnd Intriguing show piece ' Praeludlum ' nnd Svendken's graceful "Rapsodle Norweglenne' completed the list of strictly Scandinavian numbers The pi line aitlstlo Interest of the occasion lay In the cplorful and Impressive tone poem "Fn Saga," of Sibelius, the Finn, now assured. 1) one of the leading figures In the world of music Complaint has been made that the title Is Insiiidclently explicit, On the wnoie, honevei. It was something of a relief to be spared the elaborately aunotatlve methods Of Rlehaid Strauss and the modern Germans. ' 15h Saga" Is legitimately replete with pic torial appeal, w hose v ery Indeflnlteness height ens Its charm, 'mere ure grapnic imua ui mlnstiel singing brave deeds In some crude hall, of noitheru tribal chieftains, of semi barbatlc revelr) ' and In the finale Is a vague )t moving toueh of eplo traged). The tone poem has much of the singular Introspective loveliness which Is highly t)pical of Sibelius In his finest moods. Ills other contribution to the program was the now familiar and en chantlngly eerie "Valse Trlste," which Is fait acquiring a concert position like that heU by Salut-Saens's "Danse Jlaccabie." Save for the "15n Saga." the program was the llghtefct offered by. Mr. btokowskl this season. That It was. In general, enlivening made It tp some extent a fitting musical prelude to a holiday period. The conductor's leadings were characterized by taets and a keen sympathy with the blithe fharm of modern music from lands still exempt from civilization's struggle for democracy, , H. T. C.
