In the evening BNB* was making his debut as a performer, but I defected and went to Ziloti's concert, not only because of the interesting programme, but because I also simply wanted to see people and show myself after the Ala scandal.** [...] The programme included: a drab but not totally uninteresting piece by Gubenko, Valisneria, Steinberg's untalented La Princesse Maleine, and Ravel's delicious Rapsodie espagnole. I am definitely beginning to like French composers, whereas as recently as last spring, even after Diaghilev's most importunate attempts to persuade me otherwise, I still could not accept what appeared to me their shallowness, their surface glitter without substance or refinement. |
