PRESS COMMENTS:
MIROVITCH SCORES HEAVILY IN NORTHWEST
Plymouth Congregational Church. A brilliant pianist, his playing of the various numbers was greeted with full appreciation. His technique, power of interpretation and tonal coloring were very commendable.
The Oregon Daily Journal, Portland, Oregon, Tuesday, January 9th, 1923:
In Alfred Mirovitch, Portland music patrons have found a new pianist to talk of and praise. They heard him last night at The Auditorium and applauded so enthusiastically there can be no room for doubt as to the warmth of his reception.
Mirovitch is Russian with balanced temperament and poetic inspirations which he understands so clearly to express through his playing that the audience becomes inspired and seemingly follows him in thought and mood every minute of the program.

Alfred Mirovitch, the eminent Russian pianist, was presented in recital last night at the auditorium, under the direction of the Elwyn Concert Bureau. The opening number, a “Toccata and Fuga” in D Minor (Bach-Tausig), showed an exquisite balance of tonal values. Every note sang under Mirovitch’s fingers. The orderly measures flowed like a lovely fountain of musical sound. His playing.as a whole is perhaps more crisply accented than that of most artists of the piano. The logic of what he plays is never obscured. His playing was full of markedly unusual effects, notably at the end of the second number and others. But it was in the interpretation of Chopin that Mirovitch shows himself a transcendent artist. It was marked by the utmost subtlety.
Seattle Star, January 9th, 1923:
Alfred Mirovitch, who takes his place among the foremost Russian pianists of the day, was heard in concert for the first time in Seattle last evening in the
