ENTERTAINMENTS.

LEO, JAN AND MISCHEL CHERNIAVSKY. THRILLING SUCCESS. Leo, Jan and Mischel Cherniavsky, who are to-appear in Hastings to-night, are sure of a great reception, although it is hardly two years since they gave their last concert here. They "had a most gratifying reception in Auckland Town Hall in- Easter week ,and in every town they have visited so far they have had a wonderful reception. The great thing about the Cherniavskys’ work is that it displays extraordinary beauty. It is an intellectual puzzle for music-lovers to discriminate the most perfect interpretations of the ] great masters’ works, as up to the present time there has been no basic lawdiscovered to guide them in their judgment. A close observation of the wondrous music produced by Leo, Jan and Mischel ‘ Cherniavsky, the three distinguished i and handsome young Russian- brothers, i will enable the- analyser to formulate certain principles, which he can apply to his analysis. The keen listener perceives mentally, emotionally and spiritually, the extraordinary beauty of their phrasing, the power of their structural reproduction of the composers’ thoughts and the precision with which the melody floats through the disembodied harmony. When the motif re-appears, one can imagine varied streams running parallel to each other, within the arabesque of the structural harmony. Then, again, the emotional vibrations can be adjudged only by the feelings of the observers. Now, if the analyst takes into consideration that no two people are exact in the same stage of emotional, mental and spiritual development, he will realise that- dogmatism must be eliminated from his judgments. He will also have to take into consideration the nearer the conceptions are to the heart of nature, the more beautiful they must be; hence it follows that the more beautiful the music, the better expression it must necessarily be of the composer’s work. The box plan is at Hall and Son’s.
