"Not since the debut of Paderewsld has the adjective "sensational" been applied to a pianist." writes a noted American criti<;, "until Vladimar Torowitz appeared on the scene to awaken memories of Rubenstein and provoke emotional raptures usually associated with the offerings of operatic stars, or the more temperamental virtuosi of the violin." "Arrives" Overnight "Mr. Horowitz," this critic continues "is a young man of 24, who has at~ tained that most difficult goal, a position of eminence in the overcrowded field of pianists . . . . in this day an almost unheard of feat. The great pianists are for the most part men of mature experience, who have mounted the ladder painfully and slowly. This young Russian has pre-empted a place for himself almo. s t overnight. He seems to feel the pulse of his audience, and casts a palpable spell over them. His playing abounds in contrast-a gamut of airy pianissimo and thundering b~ss, and the result is overpowering." .
