The new musical season is already under way in New York with the beginning of the Philharmonic concerts under the brilliant leadership of orchestral conductor Signor Toscanini. There is nothing to indicate that the preeminence of New York as the musical center of the world since the beginning of the World War has been dimmed. It need hardly be said that the opening Philharmonic concert on the night of October 3 was as well rounded as it was distinguished. Whether because of the virtuosity of the conductor or for other reasons, the orchestra sounded more compact in body of tone and more finished in production than is usually the case in opening concerts.
