Excerpt
“Whoever wishes to know how great is the power which the charm of music can exercise over humanity must visit one of Boris Lensky’s concerts.
“Boris Lensky! The name in itself has a legendary sound—a magic fascination surrounds the man and his violin. For every one who has attended one of his concerts, the longing, listening expression on the faces of the women who hear him is something which remains forever interwoven in remembrance with the complaining sweetness of his art. The best and noblest of women, when they listen to his wonderful violin, fall into a feverish trance which makes them lose all power over themselves.
