The Following Unusual Tribute by H. E. Krehbiel Appeared in the New York Tribune January 10, 1923
BACHAUS PIANO RECITAL RARELY EQUALED HERE
Gifted Musician Evokes Unstinted Enthusiasm in Familiar, Finely Played Program at Town Hall
PIANIST SELDOM EQUALED
By H. E. KREHBIEL
Mr. Bachaus caught even the most incurious ear with his first phrase and held sense, fancy and emotion in joyous bondage to the conclusion. Better pianoforte playing we have not heard for years; little as good. It was not marred by a single technical defect; it was free from the slightest vestige of affection, noble in sentiment, clear as a mountain brook, strong in its reposefulness, full of throbbing vitality, exquisite in its gradations of dynamic expression and color. That he had made many admirers on his earlier visits was disclosed before he began playing, for he was received with round after round of applause on his entrance, and demonstrations of enthusiastic and grateful delight came from his large audience after every number.
