CHERNIAVSKY TRIO CONCERT TO-MORROW The Cherniavskys, it is said, have brought into the field of music something that has never before been discernible, an elusive something. Their unconventionality is not so much a rebellion against the interpretative conventions, as a spontaneous expression, resulting from deep and concentrated thought, emotional exerciise, and unflagging practice of technique. No great artists have proved themselves less slavish in following preconceived notions of how the great masters’ works should be interpreted. The world of art must realise that no standard can be set for to-morrow, that ever the imagination must reach out further, getting nearer and nearer to the original concerts of the great old masters. No interpreter can ever claim perfection in his work, and the Cherniavskys have that illumination, mentally and spiritually, which perceived that the interpretations of today are comparatively primitive to what they must be in the future, and they have refused to allow their extraordinary perceptive faculties to become obscured by the conceptions of their predecessors. This does not mean that they do not respect the traditions relating to interpretation, but they refuse to worship at their shrine. The advent of the Cherniavskys is creating a good deal of interest in this country, and they are certain to be welcome. Concerts are to be given on Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday next, under tiie direction of Messrs. J. and N. Tait, at His Majesty’s Theatre. The box plan is open at Lewis Eadv, Lt<|.
