The numerous friends of these talented artists will learn with pleasure of the fur ther enormcus successes they have just achieved in Europe .

" His brilliant playing domi mated the programme , and aroused the au dience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm . Criopin's music appears to be specially writ ter the young pianist , so iully does he enter into the spirit of the melodious Polish composer . With Liszt's Hungarian Rhap sudy No. 6 he thrilled his audience , and the delightfol melody seemed to swell up from the piano and diffused itself over the whole building in a single wave of harmonly , periect was the rendering , that every note siood out clearly , every phrase received its due emphasis . In response to insistent de mands , several encores had to be conceded , including Chopin's famous prelude . " No less gifted are Jean's brothers , leo the vio linist and Mischel the ' celloist , and their concerted work is remarkably fine . A great programme will be presented by these tal ented brothers . Mr. George S. Holburn an nounces that he concert only can be given in West Maitland , at the Town Hall , Tuesday next , August 11 , at 8.15 p.m. The box plan opens at Poulton's to - morrow ( Fri day ) morning at 10 . SO on company on Monday night nex . Maitland Mercury81414 66 THE CHERNIAVSKIS . The Programme of the Cherniavskys is briinful of good fare , and an unusually great attraction lies in the performance of the Tsehaikowsky Trio in A Minor . It is one of the brothers ' most brilliant items , and at the concert they gave recently in London Ysaye , the greatest violinist of to - day , said , Tschaikowsky must have written the Trio for these artists . I have not before heard it to * 0 brilliantly played . " Each part of it con stitutes a concerto and unless played by ar Lists in deep sympathy with one another , it could not be a success such as the Cherniav skys make it . It was written not long be . d'ore the coniposer's death , and suggests 2 brilliant panorama of forests , waters , and rich lights , in fact , a dream materialised Owing to the enthusiasm shown by Ysaye over its performance , the London audience demanded its being played over again . A trio by E. Schutt will also be played . Jan Cherniavsky , who is spoken of as the spirit of Chopin , will play the celebrated com . poser's " Berceuse " Op . 57 , and " Scherzo " NO 3. Op . 31. Young Mischel will give the Ser . vais's ' cello solo " Souvenir de Spa , " and Lee will interpret Vieuxtemps ' beautiful violin concerto in D minor . What a gorgeous feast of true art ! The concert to - night in the Town Hall will be the only performance in Maitland , as the young musicians are has . tening to Adelaide to join Maud Allan , the famous dancer , who has now nearly re covered from the serious accident she met with at the Palace Theatre , Sydney , which prevented her appearing , and gave the op portunity for this short Cherniaysky tour . THE CHERNIAVSKYS . The famous Cherniavskys - Leu , Jan , and Mischelsale a most successful musical en tertainment at the Town Hall last evening . Unfortunately there were many counter at tractions , besides a surfeit of public enter cainments for some time past , and the conse quence was the house was not as large as might fairly have been anticipated . The hree gifted instrumentalists : gave a very brilliant and artistic entertainment , and their efforts were 30 thoroughly appreciated that the audience was insistent in recalis whicti were responded to three and four times . It was a delightful musical treat , and every one that heard it was exceedingly pleased . The three brothers have attained a very high standard in their art , and it one was asked to give an opinion as to which was the most perfect as instrumentalist possibly Jan , the pianist , would come in for preference . Cer tainly we have not heard anyone so good be . lore . Leo is a talented violinist who has few superiors in the world , and as a ' cellist Mis chel occupies a very prominent position . He is certainly the best that music lovers have had the pleasure of hearing since the days of the late Van Beine . The programme open ed with a Bache trio - pianoforte , violin , and ' cello - in which the artists were happily as sociated , and gave a foretaste of the pleas sures to come . Mischel Cherniavsky was then heard in the cello solos " Summernacht " ( Sulzer ) , “ Serenade " ( Victor Herbert ) , and " Hungarian Rhapsodie " ( Popper ) , which were brilliantly executed . In response to en thusiastic plaudits he rendered Popper's " Gav otte " and Saint Saens ' " Le Cygne , ' the lat ter being very pathetieally rendered . The piano solos by Jan Cherniavsky gave great delight . The marvellous ease and rapidity of execution and the beauty of tonal quality exhibited by the artist was much admired , and his performances were the gerns of the evening . He played Chopin's delicate " Noo turne " and " Prelude , " , and Verdi Liszt's faster and more furious " Rigo letto in great style : As encores he played Godard's " Mazurka " and Rachmam inoff's " Prelude , " rendered with much feel . ing and effectiveness . Leo Cherniavsky's , vio lin solos were “ Faust Fantasie " ( Wieniaw sky ) , " Imagination " ( Zacharewitch ) , Valse ( Kreisler ) , and " Gavotte " ( Gorsak ) . The execution of these numbers proved him to be one of the finest artists we have heard . His technique was wonderful and his skilful man ipulation of the instrument evoked the most demonstrative applause . The fantasie was a fine effort , and the sweetly pretty " Imagina . tion " had the audience in raptures . Finally the trio were heard in " Serenade " ( Widor ) , " Moment Musical " ( Schubert Auer ) , and " Hungarian Dance " ( Brahms ) . Offenbach's popular “ Barcarolle " was given as an en core , and then at the close with the British , French , and Russian flags flying they ren dered the Russian Hymn , the " Marseillaise , " and : " God Save the King , " everyone in the audience rising and singing the British National Anthem .
