The sixth concert of the first season introduced me to Tchaikowsky and Saint-Saëns. The latter played his G Minor Concerto with brilliant effect, ending the programme with Le Route d'Omphale under his own direction. The impressions left were those of an unfailing perfection of pianoforte technique, combined with a dryness of expression and an inflexibility of beat, which in this case, however, fitted the rigid rhythm of the wheel.
