MURIEL BRUNSKILL

GREAT SINGER’S VISIT Wherever Madame Muriel Brunskill has appeared during her brief tour of 'Au'stalia and New Zealand the musical critics have lavished their praises on the lovely young contralto from Covent Garden, and the adjective that has been bestowed on her bypractically all the critics is the word ‘ glorious. Madame Brunskill has every attribute that makes for success —a superb voice or extraordinary range and power; a gorgeous stage appearance; rare artistry and musicianship; a magnetic personality; and last, but not least, the charm of youth. .... . . Referring to her initial concert in Sydney, the critic of the ‘Sydney Morning Herald 1 wrote; “It says much for Madame Brunskiil’s singing that so soon after the Menuhin season, when one had feared that all other music must seem anti-climax, she succeeded on Saturday night in rousing her hearers to that electric state which results only from contact with the highest manifestations of art. ’ The musical critic of the Sydney < Sun ’ said of the same concert: “ Not since Kirby-Lunn sang here well over 20 wears ago has there been such an exposition of beautiful singing by a contralto. While there are such voices, so well controlled, so golden in quality, so allied with a fine musical culture and an unerring choice of what is real and earnest in music; we need never fear for - the loss of the best traditions of the bel canto. Bel. canto-beautifu singing—that is the just description of Madame Brunskill art. F , . Madame Brunskill, who is English by birth and ancestry, is a Covent Garden artist who is regarded-as thc greatest British contralto of- the present tune She is paving her first visit to the Southern hemisphere, and it will also nrobablv be her last, one, as she is in tremendous demand in Europe for oratoMadame brunskill will glv - e concert here next Saturday nig t at ■ Conceit Chamber, and the second one will false place next Meduesdajplans are at B-egg’s.,
