65 CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT AFTER EUROPEAN SUCCESSES Ruth Klug WILL APPEAR IN Two Piano Recitals At Aeolian Hall On Wednesday Aft., JANUARY 24 and Friday Eve., MARCH 9 Program for January 24: Sonata, B flat minor, Chopin; Sonata, op. 31, No. 2, Beethoven; Intermezzo, C major, Capricorn, D minor, Rhapsodie, E flat minor, Brahms; Prelude, G minor, Rachmaninoff; Etude, Valse and Scherzo, Chopin. Steinway Plano Management: S. HUR0K, Aeolian Hall, New York THE MUSICAL COURIER Davos Sanitarium (in Switzerland) and the Fund for the Relief of Men of Letters and Scientists of Russia, Each artist was heard in two groups, Mr. Borissoff bpeff-ing the program with the S hiding suite in A minor. _ His second group consisted of three of his own compositions and the Tschaikowsky Valse Scherzo. Special interest centered in Mr. Borissoff’s own works, Humoresque Oriental, Romance Without Words^ and Impromptu,, the last of which was repeated. His audience liked him and recalled him again, insisting upon as many as three encores after his second group. . ■ For her first group, Mme. Meitschik gave Come Reggio di Sol (Caldara), Je crains de lui from Gretry’s Richard; Coeur de Lion, and the familiar aria from Samson and Delilah. But it was in her Russian numbers, four Songs and Dances of Death of Moussorgsky, that Mme. Meitschik was at her best. She, too, responded to encores.. It was evident from the start that Mr. Gabrilowitsch was a prime favorite. This splendid artist was heard to advantage in two numbers by Arensky, prelude in A minor and By the Sea, and the finale from the Glazounoff sonata in B flat minor, which made up his first group. There was beauty and depth to his interpretation and. withal the fire of the passion of his race. His second group was made up, of the Balakireff arrangement of Glinka’s The Lark, the Gay Dance of the Elves (Sapellnikoff) and two of his own compositions—Melodie ■in E, op. 8, and Caprice Burlesque, in characteristic vein. Again and again was he recalled by the enthusiastic audience, adding extras to his programmed numbers. . Special praise should be given Walter Golde for his. remarkably fine accompaniments for Mme. Meitschik. Joseph, Adler performed a similar service for Mr. Borissoff. January 18, 1923 NEW YORK CONCERTS {Continued from page 41) was played by Mr. Schnabel, the orchestra entering with development material and giving way in its turn to the choral cohorts. The similarity of the thematic material to the choral close of the ninth symphony was generally remarked. This development and re-using of ideas, fairly common to all composers (note Wagner’s song Traume, which later matured into act II of Tristan and Isolde), is particularly typical of Beethoven. Every musical thought that came to him was noted down in his sketch books and often the most obvious commonplace later inspired his loftiest flights. The forces under Mr. Bodanzky’s baton made full use of the opportunities offered by the fantasia and rose to fine heights in the final climax. In speaking of the fantasia the Times says: “It is music of power and beauty and was splendidly sung by the chorus and played in the same spirit by the orchestra.” The comment on Mr. Schnabel’s playing of the concerto was: “poetically conceived and executed with clarity, delicacy and rhythmic clearness. ... as understood by a ripe and intelligent artist.” GABRILOWITSCH, MEITSCHIK AND JOSEPH BORISSOFF Town Hall was comfortably filled on Sunday evening with an audience which included many Russians—which was not strange considering the fact that the program given by Ossip Gabrilowitsch, pianist; Anna Meitschik, contralto, and Joseph Borissoff, violinist, was for the benefit of the BETTY TILLOTSON SERIES SECOND CONCERT Aeolian Hall Tuesday Evening, January 23 at 8:15 With the following artists: FREDERIC BAER BARITONE MARGEL GLUCK VIOLINIST SARA FULLER COLORATURE-SOPRANO CHARLES BARER at the ־piano for .— MISS FULLER and MR.
