LHEVINNE RECITAL
A MUSICAL TREAT
Last Friday evening Mr. Lhevinne, the Russian pianist, gave a concert, in the University auditorium to a select and appreciative audience. A brilliant performance, the failure of the lighting system an impromptu serade, and a battery of noisy registers combined to make the work memorable. The various improvisations of the evening might easily have discomfited a lesser man than Mr. Lhevinne. The artist, however, accepted the difficulties gracefully and consented to win both the recital and the applause of the audience by his gracious bearing through the trying evening. This attitude of the artist on the finished rendition of his program combined to make the concert a signal success, one of the best in the various series offered at the university.
Mr. Lhevinne's style is finished, yet mature. This characteristic is shown by his superb technique to interpretation. It was evident then that out of the concert that in the mind of the artist technical skill serves only means to interpret the composer's technique.
