Lucrecia Sarria Scores Hit
With Latin-American Songs
By Allen Self
Lyric, rather than coloratura,
would better describe the soprano
voice of Lucrecia Sarria, who per
formed Thursday night in Guion
Hall, accompanied by Ernst Hoff
mann, director of the Houston
Symphony, under the sponsorship
of the Singing Eadets. Her singing
renditions of the lilting, expres
sive compositions of Grever, Bene
dict, and Granados were much bet
ter received by the audience than
her attempts at dramatic arias.
What Miss Sarria lacked in vol
ume, vibrato, and tonal quality in
the upper register, she certainly
compensated for in sincerity, emo
tion, and tender expression in Cho
pin’s “Tristesse,” in the light and
entertaining “The Gypsy and the
Bird,” by Benedict, and in the well
known Spanish number “Muhequita
Linda” by Grever. The latter num
ber is the source of the recently
popular tune “Yo Te Quiero
Mucho.”
Mrs. C. H. Groneman, a local
violinist possessing excellent tech
nique, provided the violin obbli
gato to Mozart’s “II Re Pastore.”
Mr. R. Kepner, first flutist with
the Houston Symphony, accompa
nied Miss Sarria with an obbligato
in four other numbers.
A rather limited but highly ap
preciative audience enjoyed Miss
Sarria’s singing so much that they
demanded several encores, among
them “With a Song in My Heart”
and the ever popular “Cirribiri-
Bin.” Miss Sarria acted as her
own accompanist for the final en
core, and treated her hearers to
another of her Spanish songs.
