HUBERMAN, THE VIoLINIST.-Bron-
fsiaw Huberman's genius has astonished us
all. 1t certainly has the aspect of mir
acle that SO youthful an artist should be
so great-should command a tone so ma
jestic, technique so fiawless, musical
insight SO penetrating. There Is probably
no more difficult number for violin than
Brahms concerto; 1t seems as though II
had been composed against rather than for
violin. 1t reaches. as one might say,
Alpine attitudes; yet Huberman scaled these
all but inaccessible heights without mis-
step and there plucked the Edelwefss In
dizzy ecstacy! After this grandiose per-
formance all else was mere bagatelle
for this artist and his recitals aroused such
storms of applause that he was compelled
to respond again and again to their de-
mand for additional numbers Huberman
played the Immensely difficult concerto of
Wieniawski and the same composers
Faust Fantasia in the most faultless
manner. Anticipating, as one always does,
something more extraordinary, one is never
disappointed, for each new performance of
this artistic marvel transcends the one pre-
ceding. He will give his farewell concert
