HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Magdeleine Brard to Appear Before v
Harrisburg Audience Again on Dec. 26
Mile. Alagdeleine Brard who creat
ed such a furore in this city as solo
ist with the New York Symphony
Orchestra, also made a profound
impression on conservative Boston,
being the sensation of the season.
She was soloist with the Boston

quoted.
Magdeleine Brard's performance
of Sainf-Saens' Pianoforte Concert
No. 2 in G minor at yesterday's pen
sion fund concert of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra created a very
unusual sensation. Air. Monteux and
the orchestra joined enthusiastically
in the violent and prolonged ap
plause. She was recalled no less than
six times at the end.
"There were murmurs of surprise
in the audience when she first came
on the stage. She is actually 16 but
looks considerably younger. The solo
passage at the beginning of the first
movement, however, showed at once
that she was not the 'lnfant prodigy'
her childish appearance betokened,
but a player of mature strength, I
Poise and skill, fairly comparable!
with men like Hofmann and Rach- i
maninoff.
"Her playing has a breadth, force '
and dignity very rare in the per
formance of feminine pianists. Her i

- massive chords and brilliant passage
i work are like those of the best
' | male performers, rather than tho
work of a talented girl.
"She has the crisp phrasing, the
|, firm yet delicate touch and the beau
: tiful singing tone needed for an
11 ideal performance. Best of all she
does not sentimentalize, and yet is
~ never academic. As a pupil of Cor
i tot and a winner of a 'first prize' at
! the Paris Conservatory she has, of
L i course, been admirably trained. But
.; only phenomenal ability could make
! it possible for a mere chilli to play
. i as she does.
I "She is to be ranked with the
youthful Hofmann and with Heifetz
as an example of a young player
i j whose performance is never imma
j ture. Her future appearance in Bos
i ton will be eagerly awaited by every
t! one who was lucky enough to hear
her yesterday."
Mile. Brard is to be heard in this
city December 26 at Technical High
school. She will be assisted by Fred
rick Gunster, American tenor, whoso
I work in the field of concert and ora
j torio is familiar to all musicians. He
j is known from coast to coast as an
1 artist of most exceptional ability. |
