SZIGETI

After Copenhagen and Prague, where it created a minor sensation when intro­ duced recently by Soviet Russia’s greatest violinist, David Oistrakh, New York will have its first hearing of the eagerly awaited new Prokofieff Sonata on Tuesday evening, February 17th, at Szigeti's only recital this season. As in the case of the earlier Prokofieff D major Sonata which Szigeti introduced at Carnegie Hall in December, 1944, and recorded soon after, the editing of the new sonata has been entrusted to Szigeti by Leeds Music Corporation.

The other novelty on the program—David Diamond's Sonata, dedicated to Szigeti—is also certain to arouse exceptional interest; especially in a season marked by such outstanding successes of the young American composer ("Romeo and Juliet Suite”, Fourth Symphony, string quartets, etc.). Brahms’ G major Sonata and Bach’s Solo Sonata in G will be the classical offerings on this typical program of the great violinist.

Szigeti recently returned from a European tour of which the Edinburgh Festival and the London Schubert-Brahms series with Artur Schnabel, William Primrose and Pierre Fournier as well as appearances at the Scala of Milan, Paris, Brussels, were the highlights. With this coming Bach-Brahms, Prokofieff-Diamond program he once again reaffirms his reverence for old masterpieces and his quest for new ones.

YOUNG WELSH GIANT OF THE KEYBOARD

On February 16th Harold Rubens makes his first Carnegie Hall appear­ ance as a young pianist who has already made his mark on this side of the Atlantic. Two Town Hall recitals in New York and eight appearances as soloist with the Boston Symphony have caused some of the most discerning American critics to dub him "extraordinary". Born in Cardiff, Wales, Rubens was a wunderkind who played for Paderewski at the age of twelve, for George Bernard Shaw at thirteen, and for King Haakon and the late Queen Maud of Norway at fourteen, and who at fourteen also took the Continental music capitals by storm. More recently he has been the soloist with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra for two years, broadcast widely over the BBC networks, and concertized in Latin America with acclaim greeting him every­ where. His current program features Prokofieff's Sonata No. 3 compiled from the composer's old notebooks in addition to four sonatas by Scarlatti, Schu­ mann's Sonata in F sharp minor, a group of Chopin works, two Etudes of Debussy and the Liszt Rhapsodie Espanole.
