Miss Mortimer contralto - makes her debute New York Sun 1926



Miss Mortimer contract contralto makes her debut Miss Myra Mortimer and American contralto of Butte Montana who has been well received on the continent recently and of whom a Dutch critic wrote 'like Julia Cope in her prime' gave her first  recital here last evening at Townhall with Conrad Bowes as the at the piano Miss Mortimers specializes in the art of *lieder singing and her program was confined to lyrics by  Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Hugo Wolf

The songs were most familiar Miss Mortimer saying many lovely songs among which were harbingers of spring were suggested by such titles as Schubert's xxx Shuman's xxx and Wolf'sxxx

Miss Mortimer was heard by a large audience and much warm approval was given to her performance she has been announced as her dramatic contralto but her delivery did not support this description of her voice and style her voice lacking proper placement is rather an mezzo-soprano or of a mid range her lower tones lack volume and her upper to something some of her Llegado work was admirably performed in respect of tone and phrase.

Her exposition of text showed general taste and refinement it was without noteworthy dramatic flowers..... she lost frequently her some of .... hercommanding presents and her platform bearing as a recital artist was beyond reproach. Mr. Bos who was not who has not appeared here before the season did his ...excellent work as an accompanist

*lieder singing-is a setting of a German poem to classical music
