BACKHAUS.
Wilhelm Baekhaus, the great pianist, who is touring New Zealand, under Mr. E. J. Gravestock's direction, and who will give one move concert in Wellington, has such an extensive repertoire that he can give twenty-five recitals without repeating one number. He is considered the finest exponent of Chopin extant. There is so much grace, depths and beauty about his art, that the least musical person cannot fail to be moved by his artistry. Liszt's "Second Hungarian Rhapsody," which Baekhaus plays, stirs all the finest feelings, and almost lifts people from their seats. Baekhaus was born into a _ musical family. Consequently his art is not a fluke. From his earliest years he received every encouragement, and probably the sound musical training in his poyhood has stood him in great stead in later years. Baekhaus will appear at the Grand Opera House to-morrow night.
