MISS HOLLANDER'S CONCERT.
The second of the conce>rt« given by Mis( Alice Hollander took {dace last night in th« Choral Hall The openim* number of Misf Hollander was Hullah's- arr-Augcment ol "The 'Thro. Fishers,' which .-lie sang splendidly. The dramatic chtuiactei* of the song was wonderfully interpreted. In the first part also Miss Hollander afforded the audience an opportunity of nga[n hearing her artistic anqing of Ma.v-__-roni's "Aye Maria." Nothing in the programme afforded her a greater opportunity of displaying to the full her gre.-ifc range and purity of tone-, an- it was Without doubt a great musical treat. Gounod's fine song "On Divine Redeemer" was given with au the pathos and religious fervour whica the solo requires to be successful, and in this Miss Hollander showed her power of repression of the wealth of voice '■-he undoubtedly possesses. Tho number was given most artistically, and in response to an enthusiastic encore the singer gave Lassen's "All Soul's Day" magniheentjy. The path-tie Scottish ballad "Domfla. "Gordoli," pa tnxng by Mi-as Hollander, s-howed what is (meant by the phrase "tears in the voice." It was a recitation in ballad singing, and when on-3 compares it with the elaborate compositions sung by Miss Hollander it standi out markedly, evincing great versatility and a knowledge of the different styles of singing which is wondery.il in one so young. Another it-em by Mis-. Hollander, "Shepherd's Cradle Song," which was redcananded, was -also sung with much taste and' -Expression. Mrs Tipler, in tha first part, sang "My Dearest Heart" excellently, and for an encore gavo "The Swallows." In the second part she sang "The Bird that came in Spring. Mis.. Julia Moran for her first violin solo chose .i.3 allegro movement «■? the fifth Sonata of Beethoven. In her former solos she had created a favourable impression, which was deepened by .h--artistic interpretation of the number. It was played witli great bread .'h of tone, and an artistic appreciation of ixie compos-*** which made it most enjoyable. Iv thf second part Miss Morau played a dainc-V "Saltareile," by German, very well indeed, and is to be complimented upon the admirable manner in which both items were given. Mr Hugh Reeves sang ''As of _"or_' and "Fancy Wafts -ae' well, und Mr LoUahnan played thre. violoncello solos. Mis! McCardell accompanied excellently, and Mi«( Fun.ton also rendered good service during th. concert in her accompaniments of the instrumental numbers.
