JASCHA SPIVAKOVSKY

On Thursday evening, at His Majesty's, J. and N. Toit will pi esprit the celebrated young Russian p Jac a Spivanov sky. ~lt is admitted that bpivakovsky is one ot the lew musical geniuses whose wonderful ability, demonstrated in childhood. has not departed w:th his growth to manhood. .Notable English and Australian musical-, critics euiogise Sp.vakov sky, and acclaim him as a genius. His concerts in Sydney, Melbourne, and New Zealand have been characterised by great enthusiasm. As the season in Dunedin is limited to two concerts, special care has been given to the selection of the programmes. so that representation shall be given to all the great masters, n.s well as some of the mow modern class cs. “Of all the pianists 1 have heard in recent vears.’’ recently wrote a well-known English critic, “no one seems _to have more ,t.:n\pu'.;nr-cntal aUiu.iy with the very I'eatesi i. an Jascha :pivakov s fy I there in .n his tut something personal and e;;litnive. ra.e and inmgaia.ivo, that cannot be define. in English, liberal as it is in words oi fine meaning. 1 can only sit back after once 1 earing him and badly express my appreciation by calling him a ‘ genius.’ ” The bos plans are at The Bristol, and concessions are made to students.
