Following Her Debut with
THE NEW YORK SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WILLEM MENGELBERG, Conductor FEBRUARY 3rd
THE NEW YORK PRESS ACCLAIMS HER UNANIMOUSLY
CLOSEDAONE COT?LnDHDAWL JA0־:Ttv0Tliffr-t1vT^IDAY AFTERNOON AUDIENCE, BUT ERNA RUBINSTEIN DID IT. WITH EYES York EvMinjfPosCt°ULD HAVE EASILY IMAGINED ITS BEING PLAYED BY ELMAN, OR EVEN BY HEIFETZ.—H. T. Finck, in the New
IS EXTRAORDINARY, INDEED. HER PERFORMANCE OF MENDELSSOHN’S CONCERTO, IN FINGER-TECHNIQUE, PHRASING AND A CERTAIN “SPEAKING” QUALITY WOULD HAVE DONE CREDIT TO A MORE MATURE PLAYER.—New York Times.
THE PLAYING OF AN ARTIST RIPE IN KNOWLEDGE AND FEELING AND MARVELOUSLY TRAINED IN TECHNICAL SKILL. SHE WAS APPLAUDED TO THE ECHO.—H. E. Krehbiel in the New York Tribune.
HER TONE IS BEAUTIFUL, HER INTONATION EXCELLENT. SHE HAS A MUSICIAN’S SENSE OF RHYTHM AND A FINE PERCEPTION OF PHRASING. HER PERFORMANCE OF THE MENDELSSOHN CONCERTO WAS EXQUISITE. HER DEBUT WAS A DELIGHTFUL INCIDENT OF THE SEASON.—W. J. Henderson in the New York Herald.
SHE HAS THE POISE OF A KREISLER. BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL SHE IS A REFINED, CULTIVATED MUSICIAN, IN WHOSE HANDS MUSIC BECOMES BOTH RHYTHMIC AND EMOTIONAL. SHE IS A REMARKABLE ARTIST.—New York Evening Telegram.
HER TONE WAS A CRYSTAL STREAM WITH STEELY LIGHTS THROUGH IT, AND THE CERTAINTY, VIGOR AND IMPULSE OF HER PLAYING COMMANDED׳ A STARTLED ADMIRATION. THE OBVIOUS THING IS TO CALL HER THE LITTLE FEMALE HEIFETZ FOR IT IS PLAYING LIKE HIS.—New York Journal.
SHE GAVE A PERFORMANCE THAT WAS EXTRAORDINARY FOR ITS FULLNESS OF TONE, ITS MATURITY OF PHRASING, ITS VITALITY. THE SLOW MOVEMENT SANG WITH AN AUTHENTIC EMOTION, UNTARNISHED BY SENTIMENTALITY. THE ALLEGROS DANCED ON UNERRING FINGERS AND AN UNCANNY POISE COMMANDED THE WHOLE. —New York Sun.

Feb.8th.1922.
Mr. Dani a1 Mayer,
Aeolian Hall,
Hew Yorfc City.
My dear Mr.Mayer:
I congratulate yon on ha-vlsg made arrangements to.manage Erna Rubinstein.
I consider she is one the greatest violin.geniuses to come under my notloe during all my long experience and for this reason I felt it a privilege to introduce her to the American public on my return thi6 season.
Erna is to me the ideal of what a violinist should be, in fact to use the American expression she is 100$.
Wishing you every success, Yours sincerely
I remain,
Aeolian Hall, New York
