32 VIOLONCELLO SOLOS
Violoncello Solos by Victor Sorlin with orch. NUMBER SIZE
31696 Madame Butterfly—F antasie Puccini 12 Butterfly’s Vision—Waiting Motive—Entrance of Butterfly. Three of the most beautiful passages in this fascinating Puccini opera have been combined in this attractive fantasie by Mr. Sorlin, who is one of New York’s most famous ’cellists. The themes used are the last part of Butterfly’ s “Song of Devotion’ in Act II, sometimes called the ; ‘Vision Song;’’ the mournful but beautiful * ‘Waiting Motive,’’ played-by the otchestra as Butterfy, with her child and * faithful maid, takes her place at the window to watch through the night for Pinkerton’s coming. This motive, which is also sung by a distant chorus with a peculiarly charming SORLIN and mysterious effect, is one of the composer’s happiest inspirations. The pizzicati passages on the violin which accompany this’ strange melody are most effectively given by the orchestra. The fantasie closes with the bright and joyous strain which accompanies the entrance of Butterfly in Act I. 5393 Angel’s Serenade Braga 10 This ever-popular * “Angel’s Serenade,’ > with its beautiful and tender melody, is exquisitely played by Mr. Sorlin, with a delicate and subdued accompaniment by the orchestra. 5412 The Evening Star from Tannhauser Wagner 10 Mr. Sorlin’s beautiful Mme. Butterfly selection was enjoyed by many thousands during April, and everyone will be ‘glad to note this record of the noble Evening Star,’’? which. is always a favorite and never fails to impress the ‘listener.
