Written nearly sixty years ago, "Tristan and Isolde'' still ranks among the finest of the love tragedies, and its remarkable Prelude is gorgeous. The programme also contained the following:—Overture, "Corilan" (Beethoven); Egloguo (Salome), Cortege from suite for strings (Debussy), Benediction Nuptinle (Saint-Saens), -Elegy from (he music to tho tragedy "King Christian IP (Sibelius), Air aiid Variations upon a .theme of Handel's (KargElert). h
