Mendelssohn Night At Exeter Hall Review
Last Wednesday's Mendelssohn program with the National Choral Society showed improved numbers though stronger tenor lines were wanted. Arabella Smyth impressed yet struggled with Lodgesang, while Mason lacked dramatic range but joined well in the Smyth duet. The Lobgesang adagio fell short from haste, and the concert closed with Mozart Jupiter and other pieces under Henry Leslie.
