LEVITZKI DISAPPOINTED
ON RETURN FROM EAST

Mischa Levitzki, pianist, Just re.
turned from the Orient and from
some three years away from ps
gave a recital last evening as the
thlrd artist in the Jewish Com.
munity Center concert series that
are proving highly interesting.
Levitzki has light facile fingers
ana ne presents a technical eduin-
ment that vigorously follows
through" every phrase in the lace
work that denotes the classic music.
But he has lost his poetry! His re.
turn Is keen disappointment, Or
was 1t that be elected to play a
program so full of student COMPOST.
tlons-unless these same be trans.
formed by mighty art and heart
that there was q definite slump in
interest as he continued. Did Mr..
Levttzkt think he could be careless
because 1t was Community con
cert, not knowing that manv of
the leading musicians in town would
be among his auditors?
He even played the G flat waltz
for encore, to his Chopin group.
with the F sharp Nocturne and the
A major Prelude in the group.
After an amusing impromptu Incl.
dent that set the audience and even
the artist to laughing, Mr.. Levitzki
melted and gave the loveliest thing
of the evening in the A flat Etude
OF Chopin, with warm mellow tone
and atmosphere. and he followed it
by the 'Eccossaise" of Beethoven,
that gay folksong polka.
His own two works are nice,
grateful things. light in caliber but
with charming harmonic treatment
and gems for the technician. They
are a Valse, A major, opus 2, and
"Valse de Concert" opus l, the
latter showing more life.blood and
native spirit than anything he
offered. He brought a fine bravura
to the close of the List Rhapsody,
No. 6, but he needs to play less on
the surface If he is to regain his
early promise.

ENGLISH SINGERS AND
.GABRILOWITSCH GREAT


In the very delightful intimacy Of
Continental Memorial Hall. those
very fascinating artists, the English
Singers and Ossip Gabrilowitsch,
pre-eminent among artist pianists,
gave a recital last Saturday evening
as the second event in Mrs. Wilson
Greene's evening course Of concerts.
Gabrilowitsch Is like q mountain,
In the power Of his art, so lofty that
most pianists dwarf beside the com.
polling rhythm of his whole musical
idea, beside the real majesty he puts
into his music, not alone in force,
but in the vitality beneath his softest
phrases. A cherished pianist Is al.
most lost to US in the conductor that
Ossip Gabrilowitsch has become, so
that his rare appearances as soloist
are real boon.
All too brief was his portion Of the
program, and the audience clamored
for him as though they would de.
mand an entire recital. He gave
superbly as the second centenary
gun of importance to be fired in
Washington, the great Beethoven
"Appassionata" Sonata, a companion
piece to Mengelberg's Fifth Symph-
ony, given earlier this month.
This Beethoven influx is going
to search meas souls, so revealing
Is 1t of eit''eV superficialty, with
infantile expression Of great truths.
or Of the might that has made Bee
thoven an immortal spirit, a Michael
Angelo of tone.
The eloquence of Gabrilowitsch is
expressed with all the profound
beauty Of one and form that seems
possible, with also such human
grace of humor, Of vagrant fancy.
that his resonant poundings Of Fate
interrupt episodes Of finest beauty
and Of purest exaltation.
He had played Bach, both Johann
and Philip Emmanuel, the latter in
a poetic lentO that was exquisite
melody and a gay Haydn of gen.
tie virtuosity. Then for encore ne
included a Chopin 'Nocturne" that

gance of a court.
The singers! Six of them seated
about a table, informally, and
bringing almost an outdoor fresh
ness in unaccompanied concerted
singing that was a page out of old
England and beautiful art into the
bargain. The basso, Cuthbert Kelly,
leads them almost imperceptibly.
He has too humor and personality,
IL often reading the verses, that
might make one call him the Brit.

All Of the voices are excellent,
but 1t Is in their blended real per.
lection Of tone and balance that
they are so noteworthy. Every
part, like a string quartet, has it's
part and never intrudes beyond it.
Yet foremost Of all was their amaz.
ing "Wassail" song, arranged by
vaughn Williams, with it's soft
approach and retreat Of tone. and
the indescribable harmonies.
Inc motets, of sacred music, were

The Masons arrived to claim

who did not secure his millions
