Rubinstein Will Return
Arthur Rubinstein, the Polish pianist, who will return for an American concert tour in October, recently appeared in recital in Madrid when the Queen and other members of the royal family were present. The Spanish paper, A. B. C., reporting the concert, said: “The work of Rubinstein was stupendous. The entire program was applauded with fervent enthusiasm by the audience among which were Queen Victoria and the Princesses Beatrice _ and Maria Cristina. After the program, as if Rubinstein sensed a feeling in the hall that some fatigue was noticeable in his playing, he showed himself as always the indefatigable performer, the untamed beast of magic and presented his hearers with Chopin’s great Triumphant Polonaise—the one which might tire out even a pianist of bronze. It is true that he is of gold and the purest of gold as a proof of it.”
