SILOTI, THE GREAT RUSSIAN
PIANIST.

The following is self explanatory:
New Haven, March 8, 1898
Mr.. G. B. Bunnell:
Dear Sir-I have succeeded in convincing
Mr.. Wolfsohn, the manager of Siloti, that
the prices for the first opening of Siloti in
his piano recitals' in New Haven should be
fifty cents less here than other cities where
he has played, viz, $3.50 instead of 50.
These will be the same prices that Pader
ewski played for his first recital here, as
the size of the Hyperion will warrant 1t. a
~ 4. sTEINERT.
The piano recital this afternoon at
the Hyperion by the great Russian
pianist, Siloti, will commence at 2:30.
The Boston Courier Of February says.
Alexander Siloti took part, playing
Tschaikowsky's second concerto. He is
pleasant of face and manner, and
wearing the traits of young manhood,
and is an excellent pianist of the first
order He is intellectual rather than
emotional; energetic rather than ar
dent; delicate rather than tender. There
are delightful clearness, q fine sense
of proportion and an absolutely definite
exposition OF his purpose in all that he
does. He knows how to he strong
without excess and to develop cres-
cendo to it's climax by steady and even
degrees. But in all that concerto his
feeling, apparently, never got the bet
ter Of the orderly projects and distinct
injunctions of his brain. His technique
is genuine, unaffected, ample and par
ticularly adequate in the difficult pas
sages. His performance gave great
satisfaction and obtained great APP
plause, to which the orchestra contrib
uted more than becoming share. Sale
