The New-York tribune., January 08, 1919, Page 11, col. 5 reported on the concert: "The music at Carnegie Hall came from a single violin with a pianoforte accompaniment. Sascha Jacobsen was the performer, and after the youthful artist had played a Fugue by Tartini, in the dress given it by Fritz Kreisler, the hall buzzed with laudatory comments. Mr. Jacobsen has now played in public often enough to be associated in the public mind with the young geniuses who have come from Russia in the course of the last five years, but last night he established his right to be associated with some of the best of them. He is artistically a product of New York, a pupil of Mr. Kneisel. He draws a tine, full, musical tone from his instrument and a sound, virile appreciation of beauty speaks out of every thing that he does. Besides the Tartini Fugue. he played a Corelli Sonata, which disclosed the firm foundation of his musicianship; the Mendelssohn concerto and a group of short pieces, sentimental and brilliant, to gratify the taste of the multitude." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1919-01-08/ed-...

                                    SINGERS OF VATICAN                                     HERE FOR CONCERTS "Four soloists from the Sistine Chapel Choir of the Vatican, Rome, including the only adult male soprano and male contralto in the choir, arrived yesterday for a four months' tour of this country.  The tour was arranged by special permission of the Vatican and the Italian Government. "The soloists are Allesandro Gabrielli, soprano; Luigi Gentili, contralto; Ezio Cecchini, tenor, and Augusto Dos Santos, basso. Their accompanist is Albert Cammetti. Their tour, which has been arranged by a musical bureau, opens in Carnegie Hall, Sept. 14 [1919].  They have permission to be away from Rome until Jan. 1. They will give seventy-five concerts. "The coming of the Italian church singers is an event of great interest in musical circles, since it is the first appearance here of singers from the Sistine Choir.  This choir is composed of thirty-two choral chaplains, whose special privilege it is to appear at the ecclesiastical functions at which the Pope appears in person.  Some of the music which will be sung in America was written in the fourth century. – New York Times, Aug 20, 1919
