Brilliant Saltzman Recital
Pnina Saltzman was in particularly good form on Tuesday night when she gave a recital in aid of the Red Cross and Allied P.O.,V. funds. It ras the unanimous feeling of all that this was probably the finest musical treat she has given Johannesburg· audiences duriug her stay here.
'l'he }Jrogramme consisted of many masterpieces, and in almost every case he gave a flawless rendering and interpretation. Liszt's Sonata B Minor was an outstanding perform- ance, and provided ample scope for her brilliant technique. Mendelssohn's Variations Serieuses gave the tone to the whole recital and ag-ain left no doubt that Miss Saltzman is a great master of her instrument. A group of Chopin was rendered with deJicacy and fines .... e. Miss Saltzman conclu<ied by playing again Debussy'. ''Reflec- tions in the \Vater" and, by vay of Yal'if'ty, navel's Alborada net Gra-
cio~o which evok d many calls for en- cor
NAN RONSHEIM EXHIBITION
Nan Pon ·lwim's F,_·hibition at th Gainsborough Gall ry, which was opened on Tu sday afternoon by Miss Heather Mart iens~en, of th Depart- ment of Architecture of the Wit- watersrand University, should not be missed.
'l'he forty-two exhibits include a large variety of subi<'cts and llisplay the painter's ver atility. Of the land- scapes, "The Shack, Ruitenburg" . is particula1·ly g(lod, and shows M1ss Ronsheim's abilitv to add a soft touch to an otherwise severe approach. The severity reaches a point of har, hness in "Grey" and is evident in "Summer 'Villow " and "Interior."
Yet there is 11lent~r of mellown~ss in much of her other works, showmg that she is not only a competent painter, but is imbued with much sympathy and understanding. The face of the "Young Native Girl" is both delightful and profound, and there are many other pieces which come up to this standard.
Gr,and Orchestral Concert
M1·. Solly Aronowsky has ar- ranged on behalf of the S.A. Friends of the Soviet Union the seventh of a series of grand symphony con- certs to take place on Au~st 20, 1944, at the Twentieth Century Theatre at 8.45 p.m .
