LILI KRAUS
to write this letter, Very soon she will be bowling you off your feet, as she has been doing to us all in Auckland. But in case anybody may be thinking of Lili Kraus as just another fine pianist, I should like to offer the opinion that no greater artist has ever been heard in this Dominion. I may have no right to such an opinion. What I will say, without fear of denial, is that here we have an interpreter of music (and a re-creator of music) of such luminous power that it is difficult to find words to speak about her-a pianist of quite transcendent genius. Let nobody miss hearing her, even if he has to crawl on his hands and knees for ten miles. There is more to it than that, even. I venture the prophecy that the effect of her impact on New Zealand music will be something quite without precedent. But the fire is in the heather and I shall sav no more. Sir,-Perhaps there is no need for me
