CELLO RECITAL
Spanish Artist Justifies Tos.
canini in Awarding Him
Crown Among Musicians.

1t was Toscanini who said that
the two greatest musicians on the
concert stage were Casals and
Kreisier, and he put Casals first.
The recital yesterday OF the great
Spanish cellist revealed not alone
his amazing mastery Of his in
strument, but the rarest beauty In
m usic given in unforeettable
cadences. Pablo Casals, with the
fineness OF miniaturist, paints
the musical phrases, echoing them
with a variety of shading and a
loneliness of tone that makes his
cello speak with depth and
eloquence one cannot put into
words.
The program held two contrast.

ing groups, that each expressed
first the pure form of classic music,
and then the romance and type OF
modern thought. Sammartini's Son.
alta and the delectabie group with
Beethoven variation on q theme OF
Mozart, with the Bach "Arioso"
which is Bach made a romanticist,
and an Allegro OF Senaille, were
music where each slightest tone
vas clear and warm and pearly.
With what a marvellous repose
Casals plays his andantes! With
what gayety, like a simple Berger
cite, he sings his lighter moments!
Casals has a lightness Of touch on
his cello and a fleetness, that can
only be compared to the Virtuoso
violinist.
As Romanticist.
He was at his highest and great.
est in the Lalo concerto. work Of
his fellow countryman. Here emo
ton was added to perfection of
tone. Like q reverberant recitative
came the first great tones
with that profound theme as
weighted with life itself as the
Chopin funeral march. The south.
land sung its lyric song though in
so rare q beauty that one was
breathless for fear of losing a single
Swallowed tone. Deeply serious this
music was. with covered trills. with
minor harmonies or again light and
lifting like sunny Spain. And the
master work was made complete by
the rare art Of Edouard Gendron at
the piano.
The modern group held a Lar
ghetto Lamentoso'' Of Godowsky
that was broad and full Of feeling.
The Debussy "Menuet" was a capri.
cious fete-like thing. while a sim
liar color was put into the Spanish
Dance Of Granados that is for violin
and was a marvel Of execution for
the larger instrument.
virtuosity.
Twice Mr.. Casals had to play
the muted "L'abeille" OF Schubert,
with its lightness Of touch and it's
amazing virtuosity. And to the
aint-Saens' Allegro Appassionato"
that closed the program were added
as encores a Serenade of Pepper,
Saint.Saens' Swan" that from
cello and piano received the most
exquisite rendition the writer has
ever heard, and a "Serenade Nea-
politaine" Of Sgambati.
And Mr.. Gendron one might call
the perfect accompanist for the
stringed instrument. Ever his
piano was mellowed in tone to the
beauty Of the solo players art.
1t was a rare concert of indescrib.
able accord in beauty Of music's
very self.
The concert was the ninth in the
Ten-Star Series presented by T.
Arthur Smith at the National The.
alter that was filled on stage and
first two floors, with only the gal
lery closed. JESSIE MacBRIDE.
