Reprinted from the "Daily Chronicle". Wilhelm Ganz. For over sixty years Mr. Wilhelm Ganz has occupied a prominent position in the musical life of this country. No man has been seen more often on concert platforms than this veteran, who has played accompaniments for all the leading vocalists and instrumentalists of his time, and has also won fame as a composer, conductor, and director. In the latter capacity he has introduced to the public many artists who are now famous. Mr. Ganz makes no secret of his age. "I was born towards the close of 1833 at Mainz," said Mr Ganz to a Daily Chronicle representative. "My father Adolf Ganz of Hesse, was conductor of the opera at Mainz for twenty-five years. To begin with, I learned to play the triangle; afterwards I studied the violin, and eventually I accompanied the singers on the piano. In 1848 my father and I came to England, and we were both engaged by Balfe, the composer of the ‘Bohemian Girl.' at Her Majesty's; with almost paternal tenderness he used to call me ‘Ganzino.' Four years later I was appointed organist at the German Lutheran Church in Savoy. I became a naturalised Englishmen and served as a Volunteer in the St. George's Rifles, when the Corps was first formed under the Hon. Charles Hugh Lindsay. "One of my first private engagements was, at the request of Frances, Countess of Waldegrave, to arrange the music for some theatricals at Nuneham Park, where I met the Due and Duchess d'Aumale. The Duchesse afterwards became my pupil, and I was presented by her to the late Duchess of Cambridge and to Princess Mary of Cambridge. The latter, also a pupil of mine, had a beautiful contralto voice, and joined in singing duets with the Duchess d'Aumale at St. James's Palace. As Duchess of Teck, Princess Mary subsequently called upon me to assist in arranging a great concert in aid of the fund for the rebuilding of Kew Church, and often invited me to White Lodge. Ganz's Orchestra Concerts. "When Dr. Wylde started the New Philharmonic concerts I played the second violin. Later in 1874 when he told me that he wanted to give up the enterprise, I agreed to assist him actively in the management and joined him at the conductor's desk. These concerts were continued till 1879, and subsequently under the name of ‘Ganz's Orchestral Concerts' till 1882." During this period Mr. Ganz produced several works for the first time in England, among them Liszt's ‘Dante' Symphony, Berlioz's ‘Episode de la Vie d'un Artiste," symphonies and pianoforte concertos by Mr. Camille Saint-Saens, the latter played by the composer himself, and works by English composers. Included in the programmes were also Berlioz's ‘Harold in Italy' and ‘Romeo and Juliet' Symphonies, Raff's ‘Lenore' Symphony, Gluck's ‘Orpheus,' and Spohr's ‘Power of Sound.' He also introduced several distinguished musicians, including Mme. Essipoff, who was recommended to him by Von Bulow. Madam Sophie Menter, and Mr. Vladimir de Pachmann. He gave his first concert in London at the Hanover Square Rooms in 1855. Jenny Lind. "Whom do I consider the greatest artist of my earlier days? As a boy of thirteen at Nuremburg, I had the honour of accompanying Jenny Lind, when she won her first laurels as Maria in the ‘Figlia del Reggimento', and she complimented me in the most kindly way. As an operatic soprano she was incomparably the finest of her time. In 1856 I acted as conductor during her lengthy tour of extraordinary success throughout England and Scotland. "Among the tenors of that time I can recall no one who excelled Mario for mellowness of voice and grace of style. Tamberlik was unequalled as a robust tenor. In the early fifties he studied several parts with me. I used to go to his house at seven in the morning. When he awoke he had not much voice, but after an hour's fencing and his breakfast he could sing all right. His ‘Prophete,' in which his high chest notes served him so well, was a magnificent performance. Berlioz's ‘Benvenuto Cellini' was another part he studied with me to sing at Covent Garden. Adelina Patti. "The first time I had the privilege of meeting Adelina Patti, whose friendship I have not had the honour of enjoying for so many years, was in 1870, when she appeared at a concert I gave at St. James's Hall. She sang the ‘Belraggio,' from ‘Semiramide,' with cadenzas specially written for her by Rossini, and my song, "The Nightingale's Trill,' both being enthusiastically encored. "The Baroness Cederstrom, as she is now, is the most gifted woman I have ever met. She speaks Italian, Russian, German, French, and Spanish fluently, and her English, as we all know, is perfect. She has a repertoire of some eighty operas, all of which she remembers perfectly. She is a fine pianist, and can play the guitar and mandoline. All the world loves to hear Patti sing, but how few people know of her goodness of heart, her wide sympathy with the poor. When she is at Craig-y-Nos she spends many evenings knitting comforters for the children living on the estate. H.M. Queen Victoria "I had the honour of playing on three occasions before Queen Victoria. Her late Majesty was most gracious, and told me that she remember my uncles Leopold and Moritz Ganz (The Conzert-Meisters to the Prussian Court), who had played to her many years previously. Among my most valued possessions are a gold-mounted cigar case presented to me by Her late Majesty and other souvenirs. H.M. King Edward VII. "A most interesting episode was when I first had the honour of being presented to the late King Edward VII., then Prince of Wales. It was in 1874, at a musical party I arranged for Viscount Dupplin, another gifted pupil of mine. I had composed a song called "God Save the Prince of Wales," after the Prince's illness in 1872, and engaged the celebrated tenor from the opera, Signor Gardoni, to sing it on the occasion. The whole audience stood during the performances, and the Prince of Wales graciously accepted the dedication of the song. "I am proud to remember that I have had three Viceroys as pupils of mine when they were boys, namely the Earl of Derby, the Earl Cadogan, and the Earl of Dudley, while another Viceroy, the late Marquis of Dufferin, when a young man invited me to Clandeboye, his place in Ireland. I used to play Chopin to him while he was studying." Qui Vive. Several of his compositions have won great success. His ‘bird' songs (;Sing Sweet Bird') ‘The Nightingale's Trill,' and ‘When the Thrush sings') have been sung by all the great singers. The gallop ‘Qui Vive' popular in every part of the world, was followed by ‘Allons Vite' and ‘En Avant.' The new ‘Adelina Valse' is as full of vitality as his earlier pieces, and the duet is certain to be as great a favourite as ;Qui Vive'. Music in England. "During the many years I have lived in London I have noticed a great, though gradual development of public interest in music, and I have also noted the increasing number of splendid native-born musicians who have received their entire training at the principal London institutions. Look around to-day and you find British composers famous in the musical world that has no barriers of nationality. I recall the time when you very seldom heard an English singer, and if one did venture to appear in public he usually Italianized his name, because fifty years ago Italian scenas and Italian singers were the rage. Very few believed in the possibility of Englishmen being much good in music. The change that has come about is nothing short of a revolution in public taste, but the wheel has not full turned yet. British musicians have not yet obtained all the appreciation awaiting them."

Solo Violoncello (a) :Kol Nidrei" – Max Bruch (b) "Am Springbrunnen" – Davidoff – Mr. Jean Gerardy. Air – Connais-tu le pays" (Mignon) – Ambroise Thomas – Miss Maggie Teyte, Connais-tu le pays ou fleurit l'oranger, le pays des fruits d'or, et des roses vermeilles, ou la brise est plus douce et l'oiseau plus leger, ou dans toute saison butinent les abeilles, ou rayonne et sourit, comme un bienfait de Dieu, un eternal printemps sous un ciel toujours bleu? Helas que ne puis-je te suivre vers ce rivage heureux, d'ou le sort m'exila! Cest la que je voudrais vivre, Aimer, aimer et mourir! C'est la! Connais-tu la maison ou l'on m'attends la bas, La sale aux lambris d'or ou des homes de marbre M'appellant dans la nuit en me tendant les bras? Et la cour ou l'on danse a l'ombre d'un grand arbe? Et le lac transparent, ou glissent sur les eaux Mille bateaux legers-pareils a des oiseux. Helas que ne puis-je te suivre vers ce rivage heureux, d'ou le sort m'exila! C'est la que je voudrais vivre, Aimer, aimer et mourir! C'est la! M. Carre et J. Barbier. Translation Knowest thou that dear land, where the orange trees grow, odours sweet fill the air, and perfumed roses blow, where the breeze softly sighs, birds blithely going and coming, all the year bloom the flow'rs, and bees ne'er cease their humming? In this land there ever smiling, bright gifts from on high. A spring-time everlasting, a heav'nly blue sky. Alas! Oh! might I follow thee, to that far distant land, for which vainly I strive, ‘tis there my heart so longs to live, to live, to love, and to die, ‘tis there, yes, ‘tis there! Knowest thou that dear home, seen by me but in dreaming? The halls are bright with gold, and with white statues gleaming; they call me through the night, I hear their sweet beseeching, and the lawn, where the dancers are gay ‘neath boughs o'er-reaching; and the lake, crystal clear, on whose blue waters hie white-winged boats, as birds in azure fly! Alas! Could I but follow thee to that far distant land, from which fate exiles me; "Tis there my heart so longs to live, to live, to love, and to die; yes, there to die! Arthur Matthison. Recit, and Aria "On with the Motley" (Pagliacci) – Leoncavallo – Mr. Ben Davies. Recit: To act! with my heart maddened with sorrow! I know not what I'm saying, or what I am doing. Yet I must face it! Courage, my heart! Bah! Thou art not a man! Thou'rt but a jester! Air: On with the motley! And the paint and the powder! The people pay thee and want their laugh you know! If Harlequin they Columbine has stolen, Laugh Puncinello! And the world will cry "Bravo!" Go! Hide with laughter thy tears and thy sorrow! Sing, and be marrying, playing thy part! Laugh! Punchinello! For the love that is ended, laugh for the pain that is eating thy heart! Solo violin – Mischa Elman.

Songs (a) "Herzog Magnus" – Sibelius (b) "Heimliche Aufforderung" – Richard Strauss – Madam Aino Ackte "Herzog Magnus" Herzog Magnus stand am Fenster traumend sah er in die Wogen, wie am Fusse seines Schlosses monbeglanzt da hin sie zogen, voll von Kummer, dass den Vater riss der Tod ihm von der Seite, und das Blut nun floss in Stromen im verruchten Bruderstreite. Herzog Magnus sieht vom Fenster Durch die Fluth sich wiegend schwingen, eine wunderschone Nixe, und er hort sie lieblich singen: "Herzog Magnus," lass' dir raten, "Komm' zu mir vom Schloss hernieder, Bade in den klaren Fluten deine jugendlichen Glieder! Deine Augen will ich kussen, Holder Furst, mich an dich schmiegen, will in meinen weissen Armen singend dich zur Rhue wiegen." Herzog Magnus, wie er lauschet, Wie er schaut und wie er horet, Schwingt hinaus sich aus dem Fenster, von der Nixe Sang betoret. Weilet, sanft von ihr umfangen, lange dort in Nixenlande; Unter Blumen, friedlich schlummernd, Fand man morgens ihn am Strande. Th. Rehbaum. English Version. Baron Magnus at his window of the waves of Vettern dreaming, watches them surround his castle, in the moonlight palely gleaming. Sorrow hath his soul enfolded, that his father's life is going. And that blood in brothers' quarrels, in red rovers should be flowing. Baron Magnus from his window, where the moonlight palely gleameth, sees a mermaid gently rocking, beautiful and free she seemeth. "Baron Magnus," thrice she calleth, "Come to me thy castle leaving; I will banish all thy sorrow where my cooling waves are heaving. Let me kiss thee on thy forehead, come my Prince, O come to me, I will hold thee to my bosom, on golden harm wil't play to thee." Baron Magnus from his window, listened to the mermaid calling, saw her beauty, came towards her, through the gleaming waters falling. There until the morrow's dawning safe he wandered in her keeping. And was found by those who sought him, gently on the violets sleeping. Herbert Harper. "Heimliche Aufforderung" Auf, hebe die funkelnde Schaale empor zum Mund, und trinke beim Freudenmahle dein Herz gesund. Und wenn du sie hebst, so wink emir Heimlich zu Dann lache ich und danse trinke ich still wie du, und still gleich mir betrachte um uns das Heer, der trunken Zecher verachte sie nicht zu sehr. Nein, hebe die blinende Schaale gefullt mit Wein und lass beim larmenden Mahle sie glucklich sein, doch hast du das Mahl genossen, den Durst gestillt, Dann verlasse der lauten Genossen festrreudiges Bild, und wandle hinaus in den Garten zum Rosenstrauch, dort will ich dich dann erwarten nach altem Brauch, und will an die Brust dir sinken eh' du's gehofft, und deine Kussen trinken, wie ehmals oft und fletchten in deine Haare der Rose Pracht o komm du wunderbare ersehnte Nacht. John Henry Mackay. English version. "The Lovers' Pledge". Up, lift now the sparking gold cup to the lip, and drink and leave not a drop in the goblet fill'd full to the brink. And as thou dost pledge me, let thine eyes rest on me, then I will respond to thy smile and gaze all silent on thee. Then let they eyes bright wander around o'er the comrades. Gay and Merry, O do not despise them, love; Nay! Lift up the spearkling gold goblet and join the sway.

Let them rejoice and be happy, this festive day. But when thou hast drunk and eaten, no longer stay; rise and turn thine eyes from the drinkers, and hasten away! And wending thy steps to the garden, where blush the roses fair, come the sheltering arbour! I'll meet thee there, and soft on thy bosom resting let me adore thy beauty, drink thy kisses as oft before I'll twine around thy fair forhead the roses white, O come thou wondrous blissful thou longed for night! John Bernhoff. Recitation – Mr. George Alexander. Solo Pianoforte – Fantasia in F minor, Op. 49 – Chopin – Mr. Harold Bauer. Song "Du bist die Rhu" – Schubert – Mr. Gregory Hast. Du bist die Rhu', der Friede mild die Sehnsucht du, und was sie stillt; ich weihe dir, voll Lust and Schmerz, Zue Wohnung hier, mein Aug' und Herz. Kehr' ein bei mir, und schliesse du, still hinter dir die Pforten zu; Treib' andern Schmerz aus dieser Brust, Voll sei dies Herz von deiner Lust! Dies Augenzelt, von deinem Glanz Allein erhellt, o full' es ganz! F. Ruckert. English Version My sweet repose, my soothing peace, assuage my woes, oh! make them cease, reside with me ‘mid joys and sighs: thy home shall be my heart and eyes. Still all my woes to wake no more, behind thee close to the noiseless door, bid grief and pain in haste depart, do thou remain to cheer this heart. Shed o'er my sight thy glorious ray; come, heart's delight, come here and stay. Aria "Voi che sapete" (Le Nozze di Figaro) – Mozart – Madam Adelina Patti. (Baroness Cederstrom.) (Accompanied by her nephew, Mr. Alfredo Barili.) Voi, che sapete, che cos' e amor. Donne vedete, s' io l' ho nel cor. Quello ch' io provo, vi ridiro, E per me nuovo, capir, nol so. Sento un affetto pien di desir, ch' ora e' diletto, ch' ora e' martir, gelo e poi sento l' alma avvampar, E in un momento torna a gelar. Ricerco un bene fuori di me, non so ch' il tiene, non so cos' e; sospiro, e gemo senza voler; palpito e tremo sensa saper; Non trovo pace note ne di Ma pur mi piace languir cosi. English version. Ye who love's power right well should know, fair dames, say : with it does my heart glow? All I experienced let me impart: feelings unworsted prey on my heart. Mildest emotions, yearnings all vain, thrill me with pleasure, rack me with pain; now I am freezing, now fiercely burn; summer and winter rule me in turn. Ever I'm seeking joys from without, Yet, where to find them, still I'm no doubt; fond sighs and moaning's all my days fill, strange tremors seize me ‘gainst my will; peace ne'er tasting morn, noon, or night, yet midst my anguish lurketh delight. Interval of fifteen minutes.

Solo and Duet. Published by – Edwin Ashdown, Ltd, 19, Hanover Square W. Song "Onaway! Awake, beloved!" – F.H. Cowen – Mr. Robert Radford. Onaway! Awake, beloved! Thou the wild-flower of the forest! Thou the wild bird of the prairie! Thou with eyes so soft and fawn-like. If thou only lookest at me I am happy, I am happy, as the lilies of the prairie! When they feel the dew upon them. Sweet thy breath as is the fragrance of the wild-flower in the morning, as their fragrance is at evening, in the moon when leaves are falling. Does not all the blood within me leap to meet thee, leap to meet thee, as the springs to meet the sunshine in the moon when nights are brightest, when thou art not pleased, beloved then my heart is sad and darkened as the shining river darkens when the clouds drop shadows on it! When thou smilest, my beloved, then my troubled heart is brightened as in sunshine gleam the ripples that the cold wind makes in rivers. Smiles the earth, and smile the waters, smile the cloudless skies above us, but I lose the way of smiling when thou art no longer near me. Does not all the blood within me, leap to meet thee, leap to meet thee, as the springs to meet the sunshine in the moon when nights are brightest. Onaway! Awake! Longfellow.

Recitation Miss Ellen Terry, Songs (a) "The early morning" – Graham Peel (b) "The Year's at the Spring" – Beech – Miss Maggie Teyte. (b) "The Early Morning." The Moon on the one hand, the Dawn on the other; The Moon is my sister, the Dawn is my brother. The Moon on my left, and the Dawn on my right; My Brother, good morning; my Sister, good-night. – Hilaire Belloc. (a) "The year's at the spring." The year's at the spring, and days at the morn; mornings at seven; the hill-side's dew pearled; The lark's on the wing; the swails on the thorn; God's in His heaven – All's right with the world! – R. Browning. Solo Violoncello – Hungarian Rhapsody – Popper – Mr. Jean Gerardy. Melodia "La Serenata" – Tosti, Madam Adelina Patti. (Baroness Cederstrom). (Accompanied by her nephew, Mr. Alfredo Barili). Vola, O serenata; La mia diletta e sola. E, con la bella testa abbandonata, posa tra le lenzuola: O serenata, vola. Splende pure la luna; L'ale il silenzio stende, E dietro I veli dell' alcove bruna la lampada s'accende pura la luna splende. Vola, O serenata; La mia diletta e sola, Ma, sorridendo ancor messo assonnata, Torna fra le lenzuola; O serenata, vola. L'onda sogna sul lido, E'l vento su la fronda; E a'baci miei ricuso ancora un nido la mia signora bionda! Sogna sul lido l'onda. English Version. Lightly, my gentlest numbers! My fairest songs and fleetest! Amid the fair white folds my lady slumbers. Go, little songs, my sweetest! Fly, little songs, my fleetest, where sweet my lady slumbers! Thro' the casement peeping, over her golden tresses. See how the moonlight steals in bright caresses; and still her lamp is keeping watch as she lies a-sleeping.

Lightly, my softest numbers! My fairest songs and fleetest! Amid her golden hair my lady slumbers. Fly, little songs, my sweetest! Fly, little songs, my fleetest, where sweet my lady slumbers! All the earth reposes, all but the night wind sighing, all but my little songlets flying against her casement roses. Ah me! Her casement closes! Solo Violin – Mischa Elman. Valse Chantee "Voci di Primavera" – Johann Strauss. Madam Aino Ackte. Comparvero le rondini, il zefiro spiro, e monti e pratia palpate novella richiamo! O primvera fulgida a in ogni cuor a tu svegli l'amor! Si ridesta tutto in festa, volutta tutto e gia; l'angellin sul mattin spicca al sol ah il vol! Lieti canti scendono ne rimati verdi pratti l'usign ol gia chiama trepido la su a bella si, fervi limpido or vicino suon divino ed in me si destianor ah mio cuor, ah no non tardar ad amar! Dolci piacer ah sogna il pensior ed amen desta in sen quell ‘accents content. Terra a ciel di luce splendeia cess ail pater viene il giver volerane da lontan nella vale farfalle tuto volutta respirera. Tutto ri vive nel fulgor tuto spira nuovo ardire Ah.

Imitations and Impressions of Celebrities – Miss Cecilia Loftus. (By kind permission of the Coliseum Management.) Song "The Sands o' Dee" – Clay – Mr. Gregory Hast. "Oh! Mary; go and call the cattle home, across the sands of Dee!" The western gale blew wild, and dark with foam, and all alone went she. The western tide crept up along the strand, and round and round the strand, and o'er the strand, as far as the eye could see; the blinding mist came down and hid the land, and never home came she! Oh is it weed, or fish, or floating hair? A tress of golden hair? A drowned maiden's hair – above the nets at sea? Was never salmon yet that shone so fair among the stakes on Dee? They row'd her in across the rolling foam, the cruel crawling foam, the cruel hungry foam, to her grave beside the sea. But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home across the sands o'Dee.

Song "Maid of Athens" – Gounod. Mr. Charles Ganz. Maid of Athens, ‘ere we part, give, oh give, me back my heart! Or, since that has left my breast. Keep it now, and take the rest! Hear my vow before I go, Zoe mou sas agapo. By those tresses unconfined Woo'd by each Aegean wind; by those lids whose jetty fringe, kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge; by those wild eyes like the roe, Zoe mou sas agapo. By that lip I long to taste by that zone-encircled waist; by all the token-flowers that tell what words can never speak so well; by love's alternate joy and woe, Zoe mou sas agapo. Maid of Athens! I am gone; Think of me sweet! when alone. Though I fly to Istambol Athens holds my heart and soul; can I cease to love thee? No! Zoe mou sas agapo. – Lord Byron. Conductors: Messrs. F.A.
