"Harvard has the best trained chorus I have ever heard in any country of the world," declared M. Serge Koussevitzky, Conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in a statement to the CRIMSON yesterday. "Dr. Davison with his Glee Club and the Choral Society of Radcliffe, has done what countless musicians have only partially succeeded in doing; he has instilled into his singers real feeling for the music they work with.
"The Orfeo Catalan choir at Barcelona," continued M. Koussevitzky, who sails for Europe on the Aquitania today, "is in my belief the only possible superior to Dr. Davison's chorus. It is an organization of superbly trained voices, which has done beautiful work in the district around Barcelona for over 40 years. The effects obtained by Dr. Davison, however, are all the more remarkable because he produces them from a chorus of untrained voices.
"I was delighted to act as guest conductor in the recent performance of the Brahms Requiem, and the experience was a pleasure I shall not easily forget."
