A very satisfactory "house" greeted |
Mile. Olga Kroostcheff. the eminent
Russian pianiste. at the concert given |,
by her last night In Punahou hall.
Mile. Kroostcheff proved highly |
finished and sympathetic exponent OF
some Of the finest masters of music, |
rendering altogether eight separate |
masterpieces, exquisitely and receiving !,
continuous applause.
To hear Mile. Kroostcheff in any
one of the beautiful selections with
which she favored her audience last
evening, was liberal education in
music. a lesson which could not fail
TO help any aspiring amature.
The opening number, LISTS Para
phase de Concert from Rigoletto" was
played faultlessly, from its lighter to
Its deeper movement, sometimes re-
quiring almost gymnastlc feats. so diff
flcult are its passages. In this selec-
ton perhaps more than in any other
Of his pieces is displayed the deep ar
tistic feelings of the great composer.
In the Romance" by Tchaikowsky
and the "Minuet" by Paderewski quite
q different school OF music was pre-
sented. In the former the intricate
passages were played with perfect
ease. Each movement spoke under the
performers powerful fingers. In the
"Minuet" her marvellous touch and
technique cannot be described by mere
words.
The "Nocturne and Valse both In
ID fiatl," by Chopin. LES Guirlandes"
by GODDARD and finally the Grand valse
de Concert" by Strauss, also difficult
and different from each other. were
given as only a true artist could give
them. Each was played with an ex-
/ preston, feeling, technique and power
which can never be forgotten by those
who had the pleasure OF hearing II.
| II the audience had favorite, the
/ light music OF GODDARD pleased them
/ most and earned Cor Mile. Kroostcheff
hearty applause. Les Guirlandes, with
its air written in the bass to the della
cate and graceful accompaniment in
| the upper notes also appealed particu-
larry to the audience. Reingold's I'M
| pIvmptu" and Webers Grand Rondo"
also figured on the program and their
perfect Interpretation gave unqualified
delight to all present.
In shofi Mile. Kroostcheff, by her
DTllIldnl performance last nlgnt, prov
ed herself an exceptionally talented
musician, with grace OF manner and
perfect ease in playing that completely
I captivated. her audience.
The trio consisting OF Mrs. w. l..
Whitney, DR.. Ramus and d. l.. Marx
was most heartily received and rem
dered their two selections in a manner
that was a credit TO the distinguished
lady whom they were supporting.
1t Is to be regretted that Honolulu
has no available concert grand piano
to provide artists calling here and II
Is always very serious handicap to
the best performers to use an instru-
ment new from the store that has never
been used before, no matter how fine
In tone the instrument may be.
Mile. Kroostcheff has been urged to
give another concert in Honolulu but
this is hardly possible as she leaves
for the mainland in the steamer Korea
tomorrow or Friday.
The program rendered last evening
was as follows:
Trio de Carl BONN
Piano ........ Mrs. w. L. Whitney
