From the Royal Albert Hall London (Tickets may be obtained from the Royal Albert Hall or usual agents) Celia Arieli, who is playing for the first time at a Promenade Concert, was born in Istanbul twenty-four years ago, and first studied with her father, who was a pianist. As a child prodigy she gained a wide reputation, and as a result of some highly successful concerts in Bucharest, given when she was only seven years old, she was invited to play to Queen Marie of Rumania. After visits to Vienna and Paris, she continued her studies in Palestine and at the Juillard School of Music in New York. She came to England two years ago and had lessons with Harold Craxton at the Royal Academy of Music. She is now a British subject.
Stupendous, quite original, individual, and rock-like ' was the comment of von Bulow, after conducting Brahms' fourth and last symphony in 1885, the year in which it was produced. The finale in the form of a passacaglia (continuous variations on a short theme heard mostly in the bass) was an innovation at the time and drew forth much comment. Towards the end of his life Brahms attended a performance of the Symphony in Vienna, and, sitting in a box, received an ovation from the audience after each movement.
