GREET VIOLINIST
WITH ENTHUSIASM
Sascha Jacobinoff Gets an Ova-
ton From Large Audience
in FahneStock Hall
BY Frederic G. Martin

1t was refreshing to hear Sascha
Jacobinoff, the most recent aspirant
to violinistic honors, demonstrate his
claim to enthusiastic recognition with
such sincere, musicianly playing as
was heard last night in Fahnestock
Hall. With more than ample tech
nique, the result of a period of such
severe schooling as is demanded by
that famous master technician, Carl
Flesch, young Jacobinoff has no need
to resort to the so well-known sem
sational tricks of violin playing to
convince his auditors of his ability.
This youth of twenty showed surpris-
ing bigness of conception in the in
depreciation of a program ranging
from such old classics as Corelli's LA
Folia," and the Kreisler arrangement
OF Pugnanis Prelude and Allegro, to
the brilliant Rondo des Lutins of Baz-
zin1. Notable was his impeccable in
tonation in his harmonies and dou-
bic stopping, the big sensuous tone
ana the emotional appeal of his un-
deniably temperamenta1 conception.
Just these qualities have Won for him
the privilege of being permitted to in
terpret with the New York Philhar-
monic Orchestra under Stransky the
great Brahms concerto, in his Phila-
delphia debut, and the enthusiastic
L
spontaneous applause of his unusually
large audience here, the unmistakable
realization that this was convincingly
great violin playing, was responded to
by him with the Tambourin Chinois
and the Caprice Viennois by Kreisler,
ana the Cut Orientale.
Nine Cook Plcases
Madame Elsa Cook, the Philadel-
phia soprano, ably supported Mr.
Jacobinoff with her splendid singing
OF the Aria from Madame Butterfly
and an interesting group of modern
songs which won her two enthusiastic
recalls to which she graciously re-
| sponded.
More than a word, too is due to the
able support given by Clifford
vaughan at the piano. The accom-
paniments were not only we'll played
but artistically discriminating and in.
telligent. Miss Olive Jamison, under
whose direction the artists appeared
mas right to the gratitude of the
musical public of this city for her ef-
Iorts towards the worthy opening OF
the local musical season with such
sterling talent.
