Ignaz Friedman in Australia
HIS OPENING RECITAL AN ENTHUSIASTIC PRESS A cable has been received from Sydney by Mr. Scott Colville stating that Ignaz Friedman created a furore at his first concert, at which there was a capacity house. Mr. C. N. Bayertz, writing in the “Sunday Times,” said: “Friedman is a great and genuine artist of an astounding clarity which has never before been heard in Sydney. It is my considered opinion that Friedman is absolutely the most satisfying pianist ever heard in Australia.” Writing in the “Sydney Morning Herald,” Mr. P. Nolan said: “Friedman, who comes in his prime with prestige from great European triumphs and the Beethoven centenary celebrations at Vienna, has justified his high reputation as the most exquisite piano player ever heard in Sydney. It was an evening of sheer beauty. The big audience, including a Government House party, was impressed by the brilliant attainment of Friedman.
William Asprey in the “Sydney Sun” states: “A greater virtuosity than that displayed by Ignaz Friedman at his opening recital on Saturday evening has never been witnessed hitherto by a Sydney audience.”
Friedman’s Auckland concert will be given next month.
