" New York Tribune: "No local lover of classioal song who has followed its ups and downs in our concert rooms during the laet 15 years is likaly to have been indifferent to the concert which Mr. and Mrs. Georg Henschel gave yesterday. When' Mr. Henschel carne to Amerioa 16 or 1? years ago, be put aside bis character as a composer of a serious order and was content to appeal to onr suffrages as an oratorio siuger. It has never appeared that be won muoh admiration for the quality of his voiee, bnt there was no gainsayiug bis beantiful mnsicianship in the handling of it. He sang like a master and wbenever he appearesd the pnblic went away convinced that, as íar as he was ooncerned, the rnnsio had been most eloqnently and oonvincingly interpretad. Meanwhile bis American vvife, who had stndied with him aod imbibed bis artistio principies, worked hfr way to the forefront of our concert siDgers, ana ever since tbe acncerts which they have given in cominon have been occasions of purest delight to all who know what good singina means. It was no surprise, therefore, that tbeir cuncert at (Jhickering hall yesterday afternoon attracted an audience of tbe select among the city's mnsio lovers, and tbat tbeir singing was enjoyed to the ntinosc.
