MARCEL RERERT FROM ANTON RUBINSTEIN TO SIMON BARERE 'Cellist Perhaps it is no coincidence that Simon Barere's birthplace, the city of THOMAS Odessa in Southeastern Russia, lies only a little more than a hundred miles SCHERMAN from the village in which Anton Rubinstein saw the light of his first day on November 28, 1829. The young Barere grew up in the aura of Rubinstein. Conductor His musical education was in the great tradition established by that greatest of all Russian pianists. In 1919, he won the Rubinstein Prize annually be­ SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA stowed on Russia's most promising young virtuoso. Today he is a logical heir to the mantle which his famous fellow-countryman once wore. In the Haydn and Saint-Saëns Concerti, words of the New York Times, "Barere must be reckoned among the greatest Bloch Schelomo, Bach Brandenburg of all exponents of the keyboard. . . . He has a technical equipment unri­ Concerto No. 2 valled among pianists of the day. . . . Mr. Barere's playing was as remark­ able for its ravishing color as for its facility, accuracy and ease. His tone, which invariably sang, was as enchanting in the most powerful measures Recital Management: as in passages of utmost delicacy of sound. More completely satisfying read­ W. COLSTON LEIGH, Inc. ings . . . are hardly imaginable." Concert Division: 500 Fifth Avenue New York, N. Y. Simon Barere's second and last recital this season will be on Sunday evening, March 9, at Carnegie Hall in a Chopin-Liszt program.
