MADAME TERESA cARRENo.
Archibald Mitchell Styles Her the
Greatest Pianist in the World.

Those who keep in touch with the
progress of events in the nusica!
world and know the leaders in the DIFF
ferent lines of musical prominence
are looking forward with a great deal
OF pleasure to the visit of Madame
Teresa Carreno who will give the open
ing recital in the Slater hall concert
course on next Monday evening. With
View of getting first hand informa-
ton concerning this much heralded
artist a representative of the Bulletin
called upon Archibald Mitchell yes
terday to get his opinion of this So
called Queen of Pianists"
After stating his errand the reporter
asked: Have you ever heard Madame
Carreno play, and do you consider her
u great pianist?"
Mr.. Mitchell answered. saying: 'T
mad the pleasure of hearing Madame
Carreno in New y DIRK recently and
Whlle / was prepared to hear I. great
player, yet | was completely carried
away by her work. She is not a young
woman by amy means, but is now at
the zenith of her wonderful powers and
l firmly believe that if I should live
to be hundred years old that 1 will
never hear anything in the way Of
piano playing that is more refined.
more beautiful and more f1awless than
was her work.
The next question put by the report
er was: Don't YOU consider the work
OF such artists as Madame Carreno
10 be educational in a great degree %
In reply to that question Mr.. Mitchell
said: In my opinion every lover Of
the piano, whether teacher or student
and those who while they are neither
teachers or. students still have the am
bition to play the piano intelligently,
should hear this great pianist To see
and to hear her is an inspiration in
itself and no one can listen to her
MI I,
speCt for the noble instrument of which
she is the master. She has been right
y styled the Queen of Pianists' and
no matter how critical one may be they
will find her playing to be as near
perfection as it is possible for human
hands guided by q high order of in
telltgence to make it. Norwich music
lovers may not know a great deal about
Madame CarrenO as she has lived
much abroad, but she has had a Won
derful career. She was musical ge-
MUS from birth and was reared in a
refined environment and her beautiful
playing has created a sensation when
| ever and wherever she has appeared.
Then as one of the promoters of
! these concerts you feel that the recital
next Monday evening will be up to
the usual high standard that has mark
ed these courses in the past" said the
reporter. The management" said Mr..
Mitchell. feels that in presenting
Madame Teresa Carreno to the people
Of New London county that they have
made a. selection that could not be
improved upon. We also feel that this
seasons course, whether taken sep
arately or as a whole, is one of the best
that we have ever arranged. You can
assure the people of Norwich and vi
cinity that the promoters of these con-
certs are using their best judgment to
bring to our city the finest musical tall
ent in the world, both vocal and in
strumental. that is available, and the
appreciation of the public is their
greatest encouragement Madame Car
reno is deserving of a great audience
and l expect that Slater Memorial hall
will be filed next Monday evening"
