MRS. JANET TURK
Siepi Enjoys U.S. Audiences
By MARILYN DUBACH
Cesare Siepi, distinguished Metropolitan bass, was well received by a small but appreciative audience last night in Hoch auditorium. Artistic prefection, warmth and vigor characterized his performance.
The Italian opera star said he is thrilled by American audiences. He was extremely gracious and willing to give several encores.
Mr. Siepi said he thinks American audiences are much warmer than those in Italy. He accounted this to the fact that Italy has been accustomed to music for centuries more than America. The friendliness of the American hand-shake particularly impresses him, he said.
He is making his first concert tour with his accompanist, Leo Taubman, Italian pianist. He enjoys traveling, but is anxious to return home for a rest and to visit his mother in Milano, his birthplace.
After returning from a summer of rest and study in Italy, Mr. Siepi will again sing for the Metropolitan's winter season.
Other cities on his recital tour include Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas and Minneapolis.
Mr. Siepi's program last night was the third attraction of the season presented by the University Concert course.
