Gala Concert of Russian Popular Operatic and National Music

“This distinguished representative of Russian music repeated his very interesting concert at Steinway Hall on Tuesday evening. The excitement consequent upon the arrival of the Grand Duke exercised a depressing effect upon the attendants, but the very interesting character of the music and the skill of the princely conductor in leading chorus and orchestra safely through the mazes of his own music and that of Glinka and other Muscovite composers riveted the attention of those who were present. The compositions of Prince Galitzin that were performed on this occasion bear the impress of a highly cultivated musician and a rare skill in adapting the wild melodies of his native land to orchestral and choral purposes. We trust that the Prince will repeat his concert on an occasion when it shall be honored with the presence of the Grand Duke Alexis.”
