IT IS WITH g distinguished record

Czech pianist, comes to the United
States. He appoars in the first concert
of the 1946-47 season of the Commun
ity Concert scries at the high school
auditorium on Friday evening at 8:15
o'clock, October 25.
From his prodigy days, when he
made his debut in Vienna, at the age of
14, he has pro-ed himself an extra
ordinary artist. He has long ranked
among the elect of concert artists in this
country and has achieved great fame in
South America.
Scheduled for him are more than 50
recitals in this country and Canada dur
ing the coming season. He will reap
pear as soloist with the Philadelphia
Symphony, the Chicago orchestra, and
for the fourth successive season, with
the National Symphony of Washing
ton, D. C.
The brilliant artist has long enjoyed
(he patronage of royal houses in Eur
ope, including those of Great Britain
and Italy, and Beligum. Soon to take
out his citizenship papers in the United
States, he clings strongly to the color
and rich vibrancc of life in his native
land, which he visited this summer, ap
pearing in the Prague festival.
His programs include the vital and
romantic music of his countrymen, in
cluding all the piano works of the fam
ous Smetana. He is the only concert
pianist, so far as is known, who includes
the Dvorak G Minor concerto in his
colorful repertoire. He is considered by
his confreres as the top authentic in
terpreter of Czech music, and has added
much to its growth in popularity in re
cent years.
Of him the New York Times has
said: "Pianism of pronounced fascina
tion was heard from Rudolf Firkusny
. . . the Czech artist absorbed the at
tention of the audience by the poetry,
vividness and facility of his performance."
