ASHINGTON will never hear a more perfect Kreisler concert than the one which took place yesterday afterncon at Constitution Hall before a wildly enthusiastic audience which tnclud>d Mrs. Herbert Hoover. Those who last year wondered if a grain of that ; famed fire which has raised this great violin meaestro to the heights hadn't perhaps begun to escape from him, yesterday were restored to their original faith. The same vital command of all the violin elements W a 8 apparent in Kreisler's play- ing. No more magnificent ex- ample of wizar- has ever b2en demonstra- and inimitable Fritz Krelsler. ted by artist Mr. Kreisler, of course, no longer deems it essential to plum the depths of technical intricacies. His fireworks are not the hysterically difficult ones used by some of the younger virtuosos. Although he plays the Bach “Sarabande and Gigue” (for violin alone) with firm restraint and an aglle handling of fingers and bow, he does not, for instance, sweep through a Lalo “Symphony Espag- nole” with lightnitg speed dazzle his audience by the she imposeibility of its keeping up w him. He indulges rather in dignifie calm rendering of the classics, which under his tutelage become so mellow and warm and so vibrant with that incomparable Kreisler tone that one would willingly sit there and listen to_them all over zain There is a restfulness about Kreisler recital which comes with practically no other recitalist. His art is the art of always giving his audlence what it wants, and at the same time wanting it to have more. That is why no member of his audi- ence leaves with a feeling that he has been uplifted but that this is the end. He knows that he will come back when Kreisler comes back again. He knows, too, that while h2 will hear a superb rendition of ¢ venerated masters as Haendel (y terday's “Sonata in D Major” was a triumph of sustained tonal beauty and unusual spirit in the allegro movement) and such exquisite lyricism as the adagio movement in the Mozart “Concerto No. 3, G Major,” he will also hear the moderns—and at the end th~ old favorites, such as The Londonderry Air,” which no Kreisler concert would be complete without, Mr. Kreisler is a generous #tist and one who plays as long as his spirit is willing and his arms able.

Even then the hall was three-quarters full and would have remained thus till the early morning hours if the artist had deemed it expedient. Before that, incidentally, he had played Debussy’s “La Fille au Chev- eux de Lin" the way it has never been played before. He played it twice. Each time there seemed some- thing ethereal about it—something almost too perfect to bs true—and that's the way with a Kreisler con- cert—you can’t put your finger pre- cisely on its magic—but magic it has —in the man and in his art.
