WILHELM BACKHAUS
In London, in Faris, in "Vienna—in fact, iv all the great musical centres abroad, Wilhelm Baekhaus is regarded as the ideal pianist for students Ho try to emulate, and at his recitals there are always numerous music pupils armed with pencils and scores, for Baekhaus is the recognised authority on the great masters. His marvellous technique never is allowed to obtrude itself for mere display; his fingers .stroke and caress and pat the notes with perfect confidence; digital difficulties for Bar-khans simply do not exist: his suvene.=s is as amazing as the marvellous velocity of his prestos; and his serenity and confidence communicate themselves to his auditors. . It goes without saying that Wellington students will grasp the' opportunity of hearing, this world-famous pianist when lie gives his two recitals in this city, for Baekhaus has now reached tlifi very pinnacle of success. The Wellington ;o;ison, which is under the K. .1. (-Jrnvi:stock direction, will open next Saturday night at the Town Hall, and there will iilso be a recital on Monday night. The box plans are on view at The Bristol.
