2 CONTINUATION The Argus { Melbourne 1 June 15 1914 P. Z an mere been no tapen the three Chernjavskys would have provided a most delightful entertainment in themselves . They have grown up , physically and music ally , since their visit to Australia six years ago . Individually ench is a finished artist : and in combination they present such array of talent that the space of an ho and a half into which their playing mu nanntennileho hrowdoul annars enable the audience thuhe abilities het one te mrt Wilu s rian - untein , would make a very agreeable entertan ment . Leo Chernjavsky , the eldest of the three , is an extremely facile and clever violinist On the technical side he : ha developed his art to such an extent tha nothing comes amiss to him : His playing e the Tschaikowsky · Concerto , one of the most difficult works in the whole range o violin literature , was characterised by con fidence and vigour : his intonation was per leat his double stopping and chord plas iemarkably true , his bowing ( as in the Ecato down - bow passages in the cadenza rvellous . Yet the effect of the perform ance was rather to awaken admiration for virtuoso than enthusiasm for the artist Remise of this lay partly perhaps in the rer , and partly in his surroundings . The inist did not seem to get a very big e out of the instrument ; the tone , on the trary , seemed to proceed from an easily bonsive instrument . played with ligh but rather deficient in depth inh er notes This ampression may hay n in a great measure dine to the fact thi " stage of a theatre , merely screened c in curtain , is not an ideal concert pla A great deal of the sound mu cone into the vant space that lies behi the foothghts , and playing under such con tions must be very disconcerting . Conce ing Mr. Cherniaysky's brilliancy of te me there can only be one orina the programme of Saturday evenin little onportunity of hearing him in a len bronil tone production such as Bach's Aria for the G String . For encores he gave " Imagination hy Zacharewitser , and Dvorak's " Humor eske The ' cello player Mischel created quite furore with " Variations Symphonique " ( L. Boellmann ) , his work being characterised by unwonted bril liane anal musical feeling together with an unusual amount of personality and temperament that made his performance doubly interesting . He is perhaps the most sympathetic of the three and a very tho : rough training his endowed him with great finger strength , Melbourne audiences have heard no better player since Gerardy was there His encore members were Sehnbert's " Wiegenlied " and " The Swan , " both beau tifully played . The pianist , Jan. has a most debeate and caressing touch , and quaint nonchalant manner with him that is very entertaining . He chose for his open ing numbers . " Nocturne in E Major " and ** Prelnde No. 23. " both by Chopin , and " Paraphrase Rigoletto " ( Verdi - Eiszt ) . These so charmed the house that he was compelled to add two more items . Pade rewski's well - known Minuet and a Chopin waltz . The brothers appeared torether in the “ Trio in C Minor , No. 2 " ( Mendels . sohn ) . This was chosen as the opening art , and was given scholatly treatment ronnonce to a demand for an enero enade Trenumberin perforers cludina ibrre jadies ) , u The conductorship of Mr. - Frank St. Led did admirable and feeling work all the . commeneing with “ The Merry W Windsor " Overture , and the “ Valse leures " ( Tschaikowsky ) at the first in It also contributed the music for , Allan's dancing , following her motions soods with artistic restraint with a ready liveliness Altogether it was an even triumphs , and although the hors i are before the time came for the flow sed the final bows of the four perform ( who came on raively hand in hand ) , the audience seemed even then reluctant to leave the theatre . A change of programme will be given twice weekly by Miss Allan and every evening by Che Chernia vakyr . Miss Allan will make her first change of programme on Wednes . wa 13. Hed on . 5 Xerox 116/84 .
