His condition worsened today as Senate colleagues were informed.

New German Singers Debut in Die Walküre at the Met
Mme Leffler-Burchard of Berlin and Mme Berta Morena of Munich sang Brünnhilde and Sieglinde in Die Walküre under Mahler. Morena impressed with lyrical upper tones and youthful Sieglinde, while Leffler-Burchard offered weightier ballast and strong final scenes. Both new sopranos showed imagination and will be heard again. Burman and Van Rooy were less restrained, and Mahler's conducting was frequently inspiring.
