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.

tion, ordered James locked up on a

progressed which was unexpected and
which resulted mainly in a lack of

He was not always able to control the
