as the perfect vocalist-her appearance
in Washington last Spring at the cham
Der music festival at the Library OF
Congress was the occasion for special
praise by no less an authority than Olln
Downs, and earlier in the season she
had won an ovation at morning muSl-
Gale for her Interpretation Of songs
and since her valued days with the
Moscow Imperial Opera she has climbed
to the heights of success in this coun-
try, so that her annual recitals in New
York are among the important events
of the Winter.
Such eminent composers, too, as
Rachmaninoff, ProkOfetf, Gretchaninoff,
Joaquin Min, Georges Hue and others
have written songs for her and she is
generally known as one Of the most
beloved and popular artists of the con-
cert stage.
Master of Violin.
Harold Bauer, whose pianistic virtues
need no ballyhooingS and whose years
OF rich rewards as past master of his
art have won him the admiration of
both the public and the real musicians,
was once distinguished in another field.
Just as Kinder has put his cello in the
background In favor of the baton, so
Bauer has done away with his violin
in favor of the piano.
Bauer was first trained as violinist,
studied with his father and Adolph Pol
liter made his debut In London and
toured for nine years as maestro of
the strings. It wasn't, in fact, until
PadereWski made the suggestion to him
presumably not because he was poor
violinisD that he turned to the other
field and began his studies in Paris on
an instrument which has served him
even better than its predecessor.
Now Bauer is seldom thought of as
"fddler"-it is to be doubted If even
he thinks of himself that way To be
as great a pianist as he is should be
enough worry for one particular life
time.
Kochanski Popular.
Kochanski, whose violin produces
tones of impeccable beauty, and whose
command OF the bow is career in it.
self, Is also familiar as an artist in
this city-and popular-since he re-
turns to 1t year after year-and Is al
ways urged to return again.
His work is known with enthusiasm
around the globe-his travelings have
been wide and eXtenSive-and his &C
claim as great as that of the three
other artists who are appearing with
him on the January 20 program.
What he will play ON this auspicious
evening is a question-just as no one
knows what Miss Koshez will sing, or
Mr. Bauer and Mr.. Kinder But 1t
doesn't really matter. These artists
have demonstrated before that their
taste is as f1awless as their artistic
execution.
They are all being awaited with great
esgerness-in a cause which is emf
nently and urgently worth while-and
which II is to be hoped will be sup
ported as 1t deserves
