Rachm2ninon. like many of the
great composers, first won fame as Il
soloist. Ills present cour is, there
fore, Of special interest as it will
serve to present more intimately his
genious 10 a great and increasing
number of American admirers.
Rachmaainoff is now at the height
of his power. Not only is he justly
regarded as one of the foremost liv-
ing composers, but his magnificent
playing stamps him as a truly great
pianist as well.
There is nothing peculiar or freak
ish in his appearance, and distract
ing mannerisms are absent from his
performance. He plays without af-,
fect9 ton Of any kind. Tall, rather
bread of shoulder and with sober
face, he sits at his instrument and
plays upon the emotions of his hear
ers. A wonderfully clear and certain
technique is at his command, and
through it he speaks the language
of the heart, for Rachmaninoff be-
lieves that in music "the heart is
all"
