Music

December 14, 1918 issue

The article presents information on music. The concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the first in New York under the conductorship of the new leader, Henri Rabaud, was disappointing and promising as well. The orchestra has been so thoroughly remade that its perfect unity and sensitive pliability have vanished and for the time being the customary Boston audience will have to lean back and hear rough tone and rough attack, over quick tempo., over quick tempo and noisy rush as substitutes for nuance and sure interpretation and hope for better days to come.
