'cellist. appears in concert at the Pin
ney tonight, and makes his debut be-
fore Boise audience. Casals needs mo-
introduction. He is premier of all eel
10 artists. Wherever he has appeared
ne has been rendered an ovation. OF
him Toscha Seidel, the young Russian
violin virtuoso said: There is only
one Pablo Casals. After all the great
est instrument is the cello"
That Boise music lovers may
know the treat in store for them to-
night, the following excerpts are taken
from critics on Casals' playing.
Karlton Hackett in the Chicago
Evening Post-Was there ever a man
who could draw such tone from a
cello as Pablo Casals, the Spaniard?
It is not merely the exquisite quality
Of the tone, with its almost infinite
variety Of colors, but the spirit back Of
it that animates his every phrase.
DIN Downes in the Boston Post
One hardly realized the technical mas
terry achieved for the interpretation
was we'll night ideal and the art Of
the interpreter concealed the techni-
cal mastery of the virtuoso.
Richard Aldrich in the New York
Times-Mr. Casals' playing aroused
profound admiration. Every phrase
had it's turn Of perfection, it's sublety
Of romance and the most elaborate
passages were as impeccably correct
in information as they We're unostenta-
tious in execution. 1t was memorable
performance.
Pitts Sanborn in the New York
Globe-What is the impression from
the performance last night? For one
thing technical mastery that made
his execution seem child's play. For
another, a degree. of finish, I have
never heard equalled by 'cellist.
