Review of Past Performance.
A Spokane Press review of the en-
tertainment says:
The Wagner club scored an artistic
triumph last evening, when it gave it's
members and friends the rare oppor-
tunity of listening to the three artists,
Eugene Bernstein, Alexander Saslav-
sky and Hans Dressed, in concerted
numbers of great beauty and exquisite
solos, drawn from the works of the
greatest Russian composer
The program was highly instruc-
/ tive, as well as harmoniously enter
tanning, in that it presented the COM
parative beauties of compositions ex-
4 tending from those of the early mod
ern school of Glinka (whose first
( works placed Russia in the ranks of
the musical nations) and on down to
those of that country's most glorious
representative, Tschaikowsky.
The Tema con Varizioni (from trio
op. SOY, by Tschaikowsky, with which
last evenings concert was most aus
( piciously begun, was then heard for
the first time in the city. It's minor
modes and eloquent voicing of ma
tional feeling, as we'll as its splendid
force and broad pathetic utterances,
were given both artistic and charac-
teristic Interpretation on the part of
the musicians. The finale with its de-
spairing cadences, dying away into a
gloomy dirge and breathing of ever
lasting remuneration, was sublime in
it's effects.
Alexander Saslavsky, whose MASTER
full violin playing has won him hosts
of friends on both sides OF the CONT
nent,, gave two most highly apprecfa-
ted numbers, the Serenade Melancol-
lique, also by Tschaikowsky, and a
brilliant mazurka by Mlynmarski, a
number breathing of the exotic Rus
sian folksong, to the charming irregu-
larity of rhythm and capriciousness of
which Mr.. Saslavsky brought a
breadth of tone and brilliancy rarely
equaled on the concert stSee. The
contrast between this number and the
rich singing tones of the soulful Sere-
made Melancolique aroused the audi
ence to the highest pitch OF enthusi-
asm
The two Dandoff selections given by
Hans Dressed on the cello were wei
received, and as examples of highes
Russian art as we'll as of intelligent
Interpretation on the part of Mr., Ores
sci could not have been more happily
chosen.
Mr.. Dressed responded to the warm
est OF encores. Mrs. Harry Brow
played a beautiful accompaniment t
these numbers.
Mr.. Bernstein always delights hi
audience. His manner is so reposeful
his style so free from mannerisms hi
interpretations so intellectual. refine'
and generally artistic, He combine
with a rich, sonorous singing tone
rare delicacy and lightness in leg
gro passages which gives to his play
ing an indefinable charm and make
more remarkable the powerful fortes
simo with which the artist Is endow
ed. These characteristics the artist
skill were admirably illustrated in til
four numbers of Glinka Karganof
Ladoff and Rubenstein, which M
Bernstein contributed to the exceller
program. Mr.. Bernstein delighted II
audience with a temperance in er
core. A fitting finale to an evenir
OF rare enjoyment was the trio op.
for piana, violin and cello by ArensS
1t is an especially enjoyable numbe
showing the development Of Russis
musical ability and influence Of n;
tional traits.
