Ysaye recently appeared in Chicago.
Herewith is reprinted a review of his
| recital which appeared in the Chicago
Tribune the morning following his ap-
pearance in Chicago. The Tribune must
cal critic is regarded as one of excep-
tiOnal insight and honesty and as a
consequence the following notice may
be taken as an indication that those
who decide to hear Ysaye here will not
be sorry afterward
THE recital by Ysaye proved a
source of the keenest musical satisfac-
ton and qualification. The eminent
violinist has long been recognized as
one of the masters of his chosen in
Strument and Tuesday evening he was
in the best of mood. All that per-
tainS to the mechanical side of violin
playing he has completely at his COM
mand. There is nothing he attempts
which he does not do with such con-
fdent ease and such unfailing accuracy
that anything and everything seem
possible to him. His programme on
Tuesday did not contain any number
which placed VirtuOSity under the Sc
verest test. but it did include compo-
sitions which permitted the display of
a goodly measure of technical pro-
ficiency, and so thoroughly did Ysaye
satisfy such demands that it was felt
that had anything more difficult been
given place on the list he would have
swept these added intricacies aside
with the same splendid skill and GER
tainty as he did those actually pre-
sented. But the technical is lost sight
of while enjoying Ysaye's sterling mu-
steamship and glowing temperamental
warmth. He gave Handel, Bach, and
VieuxteInpS as his important numbers,
and in each of these he fully satisfied.
There was the grand manner in the
Handel G minor sonata, there were
SOlidtty, breadth, and yet hea1Cny,
manly sentiment in his Bach, and
there were bravour. verve, and pas
sion in his Vieuxtemps. A group of
smaller selections, which included the
Schumann "AbendIed." and tSieg-
fried Idyll," and a Saint-Saens caprice
valse gave further insight into the fine
musical feeling, the excellent taste, and
the artistic perfection which character
ICES the great violinist's work.
