San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

December 23rd, 1899 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW Symphony Concert A symphony concert was given at the Grand Opera House on Thursday afternoon, Dee. 7th, by an orchestra of sixty-six musicians under the leadership of Mr. Henry Holmes. The program included the Brahms symphony in E minor, a suite in C by Bach, Wagner's Siegfried idyl, and the Leonore overture by Beethoven. The House was filled from pit to ceiling with a representative audience, both social and musical, fully three thousand people had assembled to testify to the love ot our people for really fine music. It was Mr. Holmes' first public appearance as a Director and he was received with open arms. He is perphaps not as magnetic as Herr Scheel, who is the idol of our music-loving people, but the wonderful vigor, vitality and life displayed in his leadership, tor a man of his years, was a revelation to all. The andante movement in the first number was the finest rendered in the Brahms symphony. The Bach suite was received coldly and seemed unfamiliar to the audience. Both numbers were given rather under the usual esprit in which they are usually given. Mr. Holmes' reading evidently being more on the distinctively quiet, conservative order, Siegfried was received with more applause, being rendered in exceedingly dainty, delicious style, but Beethoven's Leonore was divinely rendered, and the audience was held spell bound by the delicious strains of such heavenly music under a master's guidance. Mr. Lewis Newbauer's magnificent flute playing was a revelation. The musical people are delighted that these symphony concerts are to be continued. It is to the unbounded generosity of Mrs. Phcebe Hearst that we are indebted for this musical feast. Pine Wines and Delicacies For Holiday Use. RATHJEN BROS.
