HIS CLOSING KtUl l ML
Young Russian Violinist Greeted
by a Record Crowd and
Porforms Finely
r.tMia IlelfeU gave his last recital
for V 1Mt a i walon at the Aeadeta,
nf Single last evening before one of .his
Swal'iSid audiences ; that Is, one
which filled the auditorium and oyer.
K upon the stage to the extent of
about 400 persons.
Mr. Helfetz played for his principal
numbers four movementa of the Sixth
"o o gonata of Johan Sebastian Bach,
far violin alone, and the i E minor con
certo of Jules Oonus. Ho also played
group of short numbers, including
the brilliant and difficult Caprico in A
minor of Wienlnwskli in which he made
one of the "hit?" of the evening, and
the Zlejteunvwciscn of Sarasato. which
appeared on the program under the dis
guise of "Bohemian Airs."
Tho principal feature of the con
cert was tho fact that tho nrt of Mr.
Hclfeta has noticeably broadened sine
his last appcaranco here. There is no
umimitlnn of his astounding technique.
and in absoluto co-ordination of bow
and left hand ho has no equal among
violinists' today, and it is doubtful if
he ever had one. Ho was at his 'best
In the Conus concerto, a composition
which is admirably adapted to his pres
ent manner of playing, both technical
and intellectual, and in tho Sarasato
number. Tho latter work makes few
demands upon the player, except those
of technique, aud that largely of the
"ntunt" order, such as left-hand piz
zicato, harmonies cunningly (and
treacherously) distributed nmong nnt
url tones, double stops and tho most
fluent finger execution, nil of which
Mr. Helfetz has to the highest degree.
It was in this number that, for tho
first time in 'this city, he gavo.the im
pression of a large reserve power, ns1
though he could play tho work with
twice the degreo of speed and tone if
necessary. '
The Bach sonatn, unaccompanied,
whleh opened tho concert, showed Mr.
Helfetz to the least advantage of any
number on the program. He has not
ret reached the age in years nor the
stacc of mental musical development.
which alone can give the breadth of
style necessary to play the Bach nolo
sonntns as they should be played. Ills
.rhythm was not always strictly truo
In the praeludium, and tho gavotte
lacked breadth, sounding almost choppy
at times.
Tho Conus concerto in 19 minor was
a more happy .election. It is not a
Kreat work and is obviously modeled
after the Mendelssohn concerto in other
respects than that of key alone, but it
Is melodious and gives ample room for
the dlplay of the characteristics which
this wonderfully talented young vio
linist possesses to so great a degree.
AH the numbers on the irogrnm were
well received, and Mr. Helfetz re
sponded with several encores, among
them a unique arrangement of Schu
mann's "The Prophet Bird," written
originally for piano.
