PIANOFORTE AND VIOLIN RECITAL.

♦ — , About a hundred people responded yester* day afternoon to the invitation of Mr* Bowman Fox, ABhburtoa, and Miaa Packer, Christchurch, to attend a pianoforte and violin recital m the Orange Hall. The programme submitted was a very auperior one, and beginning with a charming extrao from the works of Haydn, closed with an equally beautiful quotation from the divine Beethoven. The firat item comprised three movements from Haydn's sonata m G major (No. 8) allegio moderate, adagio, and presto The number was for violin and pianoforte, and gave both ladies an opportunity to dis play their mastery of technique, as well as their ability to appreciate and give expression . to the winning musical ideas of this captivat ing composer. Of the three movements the adagio was perhaps the most excellently handled, but all three were good, and the last movement), with M its difficulties, was given quite up to the tempo marked. Miss Packer's tone is remai kably full, and rich withal, while her harmony is perfect, and the two ladies played m unimpeachable time. A " caprice fantastique," by Wollenhaupt, was Mra Bowman Fox's essay as a pianoforte solo. The title of the piece is perfectly indicative of its naturo from a musical point of view, but it is not wanting m graceful cadences, though it abounds m quaint if not grotesque effects, and for technical difficulty is just the sort of thing to display what a player of the pianoforte can do. For the last named purpose Mra Fox could not have chosen a bet'er number. It had, too, the recommendation of net being too long, a fault that many pieces of the kind have. Miss Packer selected for her violin solo a fantasie by De Beriot, a com poser who has coutiibuted ve-y many pleasing pieces to the repertory of violinists, and Miss Packer gave a must delightful interpreter nof the delightfui stnriy. Then both ladies Bat down to the piano, and an andante and allegro marziale from Asuher was contributed with taste and effect. The recital closed with a roc Jo far violin and piano from Beethoven's Sqaata No. 3, Op. I_, breezy, chee-y, tinkling, but swept, as all Beethoven'B music is, and all theße effects with many more were produced by the com bined efforts of the two very superior artistes. Altogetht r the recital was most 6d joy able, and highly appreciated. The ladies entertained the visitors to afternoon tea. ___________________
