Show Hail Ganz, Pianist, With High Praise Rudolph Ganz, nofd Swiss pianist, who will play at the First Congregational Congregation-al church 'Monday evening. March S, ur.der the management of Herbert Salinger, Sa-linger, is classed among tl- leaders in his profession, and the best critics do not hesitate to praise his work extravagantly. The appended article by Charles Arthur Rid s:vay of Dayton, Ohio, was published in the npwspapers of that city following Rudolph Ganz's recital there: "As Switzerland is a healthy country, so Ganz is a healthy pianist, not only physically, but mentally, and we also say morally. His playing gives one tiie impression im-pression of a clear and beautiful day among the Alps; it is unaffected playing without morbidity; it. is clean-cut, perfect per-fect in technique, sane in interpretation. It reflects the bigness of the mountain country. At the same time it is not lacking lack-ing in dramatic force or in soothing, singing sing-ing tenderness. Rudolph Ganz is a many-sided many-sided and well-balanced artist. The three "Ts,' Technique, Taste and Temperament, are his in happiest combination. While possibly not so emotional as Paderewski, he has plenty of feeling, controlled, however, how-ever, at all times by ? fine mentality. Technically, his playing is marvelous. His active work is wonderful ; he has great power; he makes the piano sing or storm at will. His light playing is like sparkling sunlight and there seems to be no limit to his speed. "The programme was well selected to show the breadtli of his art, no two numbers num-bers being of similar style or character." |
