JEAN GERAROY.

The Melbourne Argus mjb : -" M. | Gerardy was weleomed with hearty acclamation, and it was evidpnS to everyone that a supreme artist was j being heard. Anything nearer perfecr tion in instrumental music <un hardly t be met with anywhw. M. Gerardy is net only a peerless executant on thr 3 'ctllo; he it also a musician gifted with the keenest poetic insight and the l faultlesi taste which is a constant element in the quality of genius The j quality of tone produced is truly nothing less than nurvellous. On the y 0 string, for instance, the volume of a sound is often as rich and sonorous as the bourdon on the organ, whil», with J an almost incredibly long down bow, a r delicate film, the merest thread of ' ' sound, is prolonged with an unsurpassable delicacy and parity of effect. M. Garardy's energy and fire, when required, are equal to his tender treat--6 ment of the simplest bit of melody. Much was expected of If, Gerardy, but j it must be admitted that expectations I were more than fulfilled. B ! '""-""'"'■■^-—*~*
