Again we read Hungarian names in the American newspapers and the criticisms are so flattering that we publish some of them verbatim. The reviews concern Mesdames Renee Engel-Lidge, pianist, and Irma Ferenczy, soprano. We are especially proud of these two artists, because they live among us here in Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune of March 23, says [Editor's note: Text here is in English]:

"Madame Renee Engel-Lidge and Madame Irma Ferenczy were at Kimball Hall. Mme. Engel-Lidge is a pianist of both rapid and powerful enunciation, with the evidence of careful training in her performance. She made an excellent impression with a Roumanian dance by Bela Bartok, playing it with great dash and fervor.....

"Mme. Ferenczy's voice was of unusually brilliant quality and she was well received in the ancient and seldom heard Cavatina from Meyerbeer's 'Roberto Diavolo', following it with an attractive tune called 'Liliomszal' ['A Lily'] by Oscar Dienzl....."

From the Chicago Daily News:

"Madame Renee Engel-Lidge, pianist, and Madame Irma Ferenczy, soprano, both Hungarian artists of routine and public experience, gave a joint recital of piano and vocal music at Kimball Hall last evening. Mme. Engel-Lidge's interpretations disclosed a comprehensive and advanced technical prowess, a taste for poetic musical expression.....

She made a distinguished success at this, her Chicago debut.

Madame Ferenczy has an engaging stage presence and a voice which in the higher ranges is clear and powerful."

We wish continued success to these two talented Hungarian artists that they may bring more laurels to us Hungarians.
