KREISLER, HUGO, Violoncellist (Krice-ler)
Hugo Kreisler, though he is less known in the United States than his distinguished brother Fritz, is known widely throughout Europe as a violoncellist of highly unusual
powers. His playing reveals a tone of remarkable beauty; fluent, elegant, rich, varied, without “‘scrape”’ or roughness of any description.
It may as well be pointed out here, as elsewhere, in dealing with others of the great artists who have made records of the violoncello for the Victor Company: that no instrument, even the violin itself, exceeds the ‘cello as an instrument of expression in music. Its technique, like that e of any instrument worth mastering, is subtle and difficult. (ee In its perfection, it must be applied with the utmost sensiHUGO _KREISLER tiveness, the utmost strength, and the utmost control, and you will mark these things in his records. More than this, the cello seems to possess the uncanny power of exposing any insincerity, any lack of sympathy on the part of its player.

LANDOWSKA, WANDA, Harpsichordist (Lahn-doff’-skah)
Wanda Landowska holds a place in the field of music which is very nearly unique. She has revived the harpsichord, precursor of the piano, and she interprets upon it the music of those masters who lived and throve before the time of the modern instrument. She is of Polish birth, from Warsaw, but she has lived in other European cities, notably in Berlin and in Paris, where she has taught the elder music, absorbed it, written of it, and passed it on to others in its pristine beauty. She has toured extensively. She is a pianist of splendid powers, a composer, and a true |p authority on the classics. She designed her own harp|_ LANDOWSKA
