ESTHER FISHER.

There was no doubt about .the great success Miss Esther Fisher scored when she presented tlie pianoforte recital in the Town Hall lasj month, and In response to insistent demands Miss Fisher will be giving an extra recital on Saturday, 7th July. For the occasion she has chosen a very fine' programme indeed. Numbered amongst them will be found several classics new ,to Wellington audiences. Hiss Fisher has by constant hard study made terrific strides in her profession, and she now ranks amongst tho greatest pianists of the world. Speaking of one of her London.recitals, the "Telegraph"- stated:—"Miss Fisher is a fine pianist. She plays with the confidence and assurance bred of sound technical adequacy and experience of. the concert platform. The larger works in her programme were Mendelssohn's Prelude and Fugue in E ' Minor,. tho . BachBusoui "Chaconne," and Schumann's G Minor Sonata. The 'Chaconnb' was presented with dispassionate competency. That and tho Mendelssohn were played to a big scale effective in general without over-much development of detail. Of the Debussy group we found 'La Serenade Interrompue' and 'La file aux cheveux do lin' the more delicately- pointed; but the most sympathetic quality of touch, even glimpses of that indefinable bloom wo know as charm, appeared in the little pieces of It'ameau and Couperln."
