THE OUTSTANDING CONCERT ATTRACTION OF THE YEAR. ••IT MAY AS WELL BE SET DOWN HERE AND NOW THAT THE EXCITEMENT OF THE MULTITUDE COULD SCARCELY HAVE BEEN MORE FRENETIC HAD THE OBJECT OF THEIR WORSHIP BEEN MR. IGNACE JAN PADEREWSKI." —New York Telegram. TOWN HALL Direction: E. J. GRAVESTOCK, LTD. First Concert Thursday, October 18 Concerts also on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20th. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23rd MR. E. J. GRAVESTOCK Has the Honour to Present, for the FIRST TIME IN AUCKLAND. SHURA CHERKASSKY THE World’s Greatest Boy Pianist Who has created such a furore in the world of music by his extraordinary talents and phenomenal pianistic ability. Although only 16 years of age, he has a technique that leaves his audience breathless from wonderment, and truly amazed before the manifestations of a power greater than they can comprehend. SHURA CHERKASSKY "TH EOSOPHI STS MIGHT CALL THIS SOY THE REINCARNATION OF A *RL TAUSIG OR A FRANZ LISZT. I CALL HIM THE GREATEST CHILD ARTIST I HAVE EVER MET." —New York Evening Telegraph. “It is Shura, the boy who walks out upon the platform with childlike simplicity of manner, and an engaging naivete that contrasts strangely with Shura, the artist. At the piano he becomes instantly masterful, authoritative. So enveloping, so complete is his concentration that he seems transported to another sphere, far removed from every material consideration. SHURA CHERKASSKY ••SHURA CHERKASSKY, recently a child prodigy, now attained to manhood by virtue of his 16 years, gave a piano recital at Carnegie Hall before a house full of enthusiasts. IT MAY BE SAID AT ONCE THAT IN THIS BOY IS LODGED A TALENT FOR PLAYING THE PIANO HARDLY EQUALLED BY ANY BUT ONE OR, PERHAPS, TWO VIRTUOSI NOW BEFORE THE PUBLIC." "Notwithstanding his tender age, Cherkassky communicates first and foremost a sense of unstinted power, an unlimited reservoir of strength. As for the mechanics of the pianist’s art, the boy’s mastery of his instrument is prodigious, even in these days of super-technique."— New York World.
