-Cuban Musicians Please With Piano and Violin » ■ 1111 . i. " — Beren-Brook Presentation Scores at Intro ductory Recital Given Under Patronage of Ambassador. • BY ALICE EVEBSMAN. THE new concert bureau, Beren-Brook Artists, which will specialize in the presenting of Latin American artists, made an auspicious beginning last evening at its introductory recital. The artists giving the program at the Willard Hotel were Marta de la Torre, violinist, and Jose Echaniz, pianist, both of Cuba, and the concert was presented under the patronage of the Ambassador of Cuba, Senor Dr. Guillermo Patterson y de Jauregui. A large J. try. His works were included on the ! program, however, his "Danza Cu oana” played by Mr. Echaniz and his J “Impromptu” and "Madrigal” ar ; ranged by Miss de la Torre for the violin. i An artist of wide concert experience, Miss de la Torre is the possessor of an unusually warm and vibrant tone of dramatic color. She plays with au thority, her phrasing directed by a sensitive musical feeling. Her tone lends itself to fine coloring, although her instrument is not as responsive in this respect as might be desired. Her left hand technique excels that of her bow arm and is free and easy in agile utterance. Joaquin Turina's lovely “Poema de una Sanluquena,” played for the first time in this country, was Miss de la Torre’s opening number. The work car ries a romantic atmosphere through out its four short movements, entitled, “Ante el espejo,” "La Cancion del Lunar,” "El Rosario enia iglesia,” and “Alucinapiones,” which at times reaches a rare beauty. Miss de la Torre interpreted it with delicacy andt poetic feeling, ably assisted by Alfred Yurdin at the piano. The Bach-Kreisler “Gavotte,” her arrangements of the two Lucuona com positions which proved . of grateful character for the violin; De Falla’s “Jota" and her own “Rapsodia Cu bana” completed the program. The latter was excellently constructed and, while based on a national idiom, gave every opportunity .for the artist’s vir tuosity to be fully appreciated. Her brilliant interpretation brought en thusiastic demands for an encore.

Mr. Echaniz opened the program With Franck's “Prelude, Fugue and ► Variation," followed by Paradisi’s •'Toccata in A” and Chopin’s “Bal lade in A Plat.” Other numbers not often heard on pianists’ programs in cluded Casteluovo-Tedesco’s “Ci pressi,” Shostakowitsch’s “Three Pre ludes” and Stravinsky's “Danse Russe,” from “Petrouchka.” A superior technical proficiency was tnade evident at once in Mr. EchaniB’ playing of a kind which took special pleasure in every opportunity for ex traordinarily fleet passage work and in this respect seemed to have unlimited resources. However, there was an in equality in his performance as it progressed which was unexpected and which resulted mainly in a lack of clarity of both idea and presentation. He was not always able to control the momentum in bravura measure and while one recognized an astonishing facility of fingers and wrist, the steady evenness of tone was often sacrificed. Bplendidly equipped as he is. intrinsic ally brilliant, and with great power at his command, he nevertheless allowed occasions for a stressing of nuance to escape him, while at other times point • lng his effect with a too marked inten tion. That he is an artist of catholic taste was shown in his choice of num bers, which were so excellently bal anced that the interest was sustained throughout.
