The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 25

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 25: March, 1929 In their final concert of the season the Oberlin Conservatory Trio was assisted by Messrs. Johnson and Cerf, violinists. While a terrible storm raged outside the artists within War ner Hall wove a spell the like of which we have not experienced there this season. The Dvorak Quartet tingled with rhythmic verve. Mr. Kessler and Mrs. Bennett played a viola-pianoforte sonata by Brahms which was rightly chosen to make the transition from the vivid music of the Bohemian to the majesties of Franck. There is but little that can stand in the light of this Franck Quintet, one of the supreme works of all chamber music. Our artists felt its deepest message and the audience, already attuned by the Splendid play ing of the earlier numbers of the eve ning, were ready to share in a superb performance of this abiding music.
