Two Modern Choral Works At Carnegie Hall
A large Carnegie Hall audience heard Debussy's Blessed Damozel for women’s voices and Wolf-Ferrari’s Vita Nuova in a program by the Oratorio Society led by Dr. Frank Damrosch with 300 singers. Debussy’s setting, sung in English, impressed for its ethereal beauty, though diction and tone varied. Wolf-Ferrari’s Vita Nuova, praised for its choral writing and melodic invention, linked to Bach and Germanic influence, with Kurt Schindler at the piano and Claude Cunningham contributing the Dante utterances. The report notes the performance’s overall impact and hints at broader interest in non Handel pieces beyond Messiah.
