“Mr. Tissington has shown himself a musician of great talent. The Shakesperian music which lends embellishment to the ‘Tempest’ is of the highest and purest school, and those who execute it show that they have received the most careful rehearsing in their parts at the hands of the leader. The arrangements for his orchestra are always skillfully made.”
