"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.
