That such an artist, such a consummate artist as Max Heinrich is living in our midst 

 should be cause for congratulation in whatever city we may reside. Heinrich has been 

 called the greatest exponent of vocal art in the country and as a master of the German 

 Lied, he is acknowledged without a rival. It is doubtful if he is not equally great in 

 everything he undertakes and he is in the zenith of his fame. His voice may not be in its 

 pristine stage but there is the art, the phrasing, the fine intelligence which, blended with 

 his profound musicianship, make the voice a secondary consideration. So long as his 

 marvelous interpretative faculties remain Heinrich will continue the dean of the art of 

 singing. The dates of the remaining Heinrich recitals are January 7 and February 4. 



The illustrated singing lessons which Mr. Heinrich is giving at University Hall, Fine 

 Arts Building, should be attended by all who call themselves students of music. No mat- 

 ter whether vocal or instrumental, something of value may be gained from hearing 

 Mr. Heinrich. — From the Musical Leader, Chicago, Dec. /p, igoo
