At Times With Interest--last night, but his music, if a little restrained was noble throughout and revealed the utmost in purity of style.
2,500 Applaud Concert By Efrem Zimbalist
By JOHN CONARD
By JOHN CONARD
More than 2,500 persons listened with interest and at times with great enthusiasm to the music of the world-famed violinist, Efrem Zimbalist, last night in Hoch auditorium.
In spite of the fact that the first half of the program was not overly interesting for the average concert-goer, the audience was attentive; but in the latter part of the evening it definitely warmed to vigorous enthusiasm.
Zimbalist seemed a little weary
"Concerto in D Minor" (Bruch) was a disappointment. It proved to have neither the fire nor musical interest of the better-known "Concerto in G Minor," and from the standpoint of audience - interest marked the low point in the program. But then the great violinist returned to play "Londonderry Air" as an encore and rallied the audience. This little tune, even though
mauled over by tooters, bowers, and pluckers from California to Maine, in the hands of a great artist proved to be a thing of real beauty.
The second half of the program opened with the lovely, chimerical "Poeme" (Chausson) and then moved to "Sarasateana," a suite of Spanish dances composed by Zimbalist.
Zimbablist speaks of Fritz Kreisler as having a great and unique talent among violinists for composing in the smaller forms, but Zimbalist's
own talents in that field must give Kreisler reason for mutual admiration.
Composer Zimbali's dances showed superb craftsmanship and exhibited a vitality and charm that completely won the audience. These short pieces ran the gamut of violin technique and were executed flawlessly.
---At Times With Enthusiasm
At the close of the program Zimbalist was applauded vigorously and the audience refused to leave until he had played three encores. These selections included the over-played
but dazzling "Flight of the Bumble Bee" (Rimsky - Korsakoff), "The Dance of the Flutes" from the "Nutcracker Suite" (Tschaikowski) and a delightful little "Tango" by Zimbali, himself.
Vladimir Sokolok, Zimbali's accompany, provided a most sensitive and artistic support to the soloist throughout the program.
Prof. and Mrs. Waldemar Gelch held a reception for Mr. Zimbaliat at their home following the concert. Guests commented on the violinist's modesty, wit, and graciousness.
