| After long and brilliant series OF concerts II
| New York, Boston, aud the principal Eastern
cities, the Hungarian violinist, RemenyL has
| turned his face Westward, and will make bis
debut in Chicago On Tuesday evening, Feb. 4,in
Mccormick Hall On Wednesday evening, Jan.
| co. he plays in Cincinnati with the Thomas
Orchestra, and comes directly to this city to FIJI
| his engagements with Mr.. Carpenter. His ap-
| peatance here will be notable event, aud ono
| which will be almost certain to provoke, not
simply curiosity, but arouse enthusiasm; for
| whatever may be lacking in Remcuyi there can
| be no doubt that his performances are fired with
| the sparks of that same genius which famed
! forth, glowing and brilliant, in the erratie
| Paganini. He. has succeeded in making deep
impression upon the public in the East, and,
By his dazzling displays of technique, IS well Is

has gained the admiration OF the very critics
| who find most fault with the latitude be takes
| in interpreting the classic composers. One such
| says:
| Ills playing Of the Chopin Mazurka and Waltz
was exceedingly taking: yer the changes he ntda
in the text seemed unnecessary, anu hence not IN
very good taste, but beauty OF his rendering Of
the two Nocturnes must be heard to be appreciated
Hungarian pieces were his properest clement; In

as it possibly can be- His playing OF numbers Il

music in new light Vio!nist after violinist has
tr1et his hand at Paganinl's music, bat withSat
effect so thin and poor is Its musical essence; With
| so little effect indeed, that some persons haze
been led to conjecture that the composer himself
never could have intoxicated bis hearers, - na

should have ever been effective, These apneeoss
are poor stuf, It is true. musicai1y speaking, but
chance for showing it. As Remenyi p!ayed them

it was Irresistible. And yet all this bewiloerns
effect was produced without tzickery; bY smole,
contagious. personal magnetism
It is evident that Remenvi's great popularity
has been gained by his dash and daring rathsf
than in the broad and lofty style which charae-
terized Wilhelmj's playing. Associated, Win
Remenyi in his Western tour is Madame Kse-
King, whose reappearance here after years
absence will be welcomed BY her many fr!ends
IN this city, and as this siug1e concert will Dc
the only opportunity offered this season to hear
her, her admirers will undoubtedly constitutes =
fair proportion OF those who will be present.
OF the other artists who appear, Gertrnae
Franklin, the soprano Of the company, WILL
make her debut, while Herr Remmertz's achieve
ments at the Cincinnati Festivals hare MADE us
name familiar to the public as one OF the moss
dlguided and noble singers among the many st@
celient baritones in this country.
