Tonight at the Lewisohn Stadium, the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra will present for the first time, in that open-air theatre of music, the Anton Seidl orchestration of the Liszt Spanish Rhapsody; also Borodine’s Symphony No. 2 and Wagenaar’s Divertiments. Works by Chabrier, Rabaud and Ravel will eke out the program with the stirring March of the Sirdars closing it.
On Monday and Tuesday evening Hans Lange will conduct not only the symphony orchestra but the chorus of the Metropolitan Opera Company in a program of music from the operas of Wagner—the man in whose music the opera and the symphony are more closely married than in the music of any other composer. On Wednesday evening Leon Barzin will conduct the performance, presenting Mozart’s Symphonic in G Minor, and the glorious Fifth of Tschaikowsky. Berezkowsky’s Fantasie for Two Pianos will give the audience to hear Vera Brodsky and Harold Triggs without benefit of radio.
