We have reported on the excellence of the team of Price and Caron be fore and once again they demonstrated their outstanding Virtues.

Of the evocative Bird sounds la Nuit did not have quite the same Appeal and the falling ostinato of Lares began to Wear thin. The Bells in Paques evoked the Joyful rhythm of easter and left us full of admiration for this splendid playing. Mark Watson Sang the four serious songs of Brahms with Winnifred Sim a Fine Collaborator at the piano. When Brahms neared the end of his life his last two works were turned to Ward contemplation of Spiri Tual things. The eleven Organ preludes end with 0 world i e in must leave thee and the four serious songs rep resent the gloomy destiny of Man through death and the ultimate Hope through love. Or. Watson has a voice of Rich warm Beauty and he sings with much insight Al though he was hampered by a slight cold. In As with beasts he created just the right mood of despair. In its Quick sections mrs. Sim was a Tower of strength at the keyboard.

In the last song though i speak with the Tongue St. Paul s tremendous words provided both dramatic and lyrical episodes each of which was Well characterized. Douglas Finch then played two sonatas one by Chopin and the other by Skriabin. We have never Felt that the sonata Mantle Hung easily on Chopin. Too often he seems to wish it were a Nocturne but there is some great music work and or. Finch gave a Fine account of it. His technique seems More assured and his musician ship is always evident. In the fast movements he had a splendid and a wide Range of expression. The Skriabin sonata no. 5 is a work that followed immediately on the poem of ext any and it is very Simi Lar in style and Content. It Lias kaleidoscopic changes of mood and is a very concentrated work. Perhaps having heard the Chopin so often we were inclined to find the interesting than the Shorter More concentrated Skriabin.
