THE ELLWOOD TRIO.

Speaking of "The Ellwoods'^ the Lytteltpn Times says: "At the Theatre Koyal last night, the Ellwood Trio appeared in a concert of their own, and confirmed the . f excellent impression: made and recorded in our columns at »eir. debut in the orchestral concert or the Musical Society. Good old -Popper still makes himself heard—withr two numbers last night; and always endeavors to prove the brilliancy of passage-work attainable on the 'cello or which Master George Ellwood gave* a very able acccount, as he did subsequently in the difficult tremolo. Again his emotional interpretation of bchumann's 'Dreaming* was very fine, but the transcriber permitted himself liberties that did not enhance the total effect. Mr Harry Ellwood was at his best in the 'Precieuse' by CouperinKreisleiy the 'PoemP by Fibich; and Nachez's 'Gipsy Tunes,' a clever piece." of writing even compared with thoseof barasate's. In Wieniawsky's 'Souvenir de Moscou' the tasteful performance of the fine Russian airs deserves, special recognition. Miss Ellwood did ffood and reliable work in the trio as rl a?> in ™c accompaniments. Mr John Prouse, always a welcome and top rare a guest in Christchurch, contributed a number of interesting and effective songs. His enunciation iV clear and telling, and he always expresses the .character of |his music J■ ith high skill. He gave particularly fine readings of the clever -songs by W* y» ans o[ beautiful TikWs bong by Tschaikowsky. Mr Worsiey s accompaniments were conspicuous m finish and refinement." The Enwoods appear at the Opera House om Monday evening next. The box pfctn.is now open at Cole and Donnelly's.
