Scope and Content

According to the critic, the two items by British composers on the programme sounded "deplorably commonplace in comparison with the music immediately preceding and succeeding them." Mr. Plunket Greene sang with too much exaggeration. Dr. Brodsky played perfectly with a wonderful tone. The orchestral playing was not so satisfactory. The symphony was played "in the most perfunctory manner possible". The critic blames Dr. Richter for this poor performance.
