Music
Adler, Lawrence | March 20, 1929 issue

This article focuses on the recent recitals of Heinrich Schiusnuss arid Elizabeth Rethberg. If indeed for the moment the discouraged critic had all but decided that the art of Lieder singing had fallen into a decline, he needed but the experience of these recitals to revive his faith in this particular art. For there is nothing blatant in the gift of song. The artist must indeed become wholly merged in the composer's conception of the moment, indeed in the very fabric of his being. Both singers in question attained such reincarnation.
