Mam Medford "The Store of a Thousand Thoughtful Gifts" r3Iifnmia Pianist To Appear In City; Praised by Critics Bernhard Abramowltsch. con cert pianist who will appear in Medford March 8, under the sponsorship of Medford Musical society, has been highly praised by Pacific coast critics for many seasons. Mr. Abramowitsch, who was born in Hamburg in 1908, came to the United States in 1936, lived in Portland for three years and has lived in the San Francisco area since that time. The musician has appeared as soloist with the' Portland Sym phony orchestra, the San Fran cisco and Oakland Symphony orchestras, the San Francisco string quartet and many other major organizations. In reporting his appearance at the institute of music at the Uni versity of California, Alfred Frankenstein, music critic of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "Bernard Abramowitsch Is one of the foremost pianists residing on the west coast, and one of the most commanding figures in that field anywhere In the country. Some years ago, after Abram owitsch had given a recital- of Schubert sonatas. I said he was second only to Schnabel as an interpreter of these works. Aft er hearing him Wednesday night, one was quite willing to dispense with that reservation. . . . This interpretive masterpiece was achieved through two devices, knowing the music and knowing how to plav the piano. Abram owitsch is he kind of musician whose thought processes strike you as being essentially creative; . . . add to this magnificently brilliant technique, genuinely living rhythm which breathes rather than ticks, and complete, effortless command of the shad ing and sonorities of the piano, and the total picture begins to fill itself out." Tickets for the concert arc available at Purucker's Piano House and Pruitt's Music center, or from members of the society.
