Admirable Recital Last Night

Mr. Arthur Whiting, assisted by Mrs. Edith Chapman Goold, gave the first of his expositions of classical and modern chamber music in the Lecture Room of the Fogg Art Museum last night. He was greeted by an audience which more than filled the hall, and which by its constant enthusiasm made it clear that there exists among the members of the University a desire to hear and understand good music.

Mr. Whiting understood his audience and made only the brief remarks needed to give an appreciation of what was to be sung. Mrs. Goold's singing was admirable. It was for the singer a trying program, chosen to represent many types of song, and including in its range four centuries and as many nationalities; yet such was Mrs. Goold's versatility of art that one could hardly say where she was at her best. She brought out the special traits of each song, yet never exaggerated; she sang with spirit and taste, and always with charm. All in all, it was a remarkable performance.
