Poet at the Piano,"
"One of the low and rare personalities in Music."
"He has an expressive lyricism which charms the ear, and which depends upon subtlety of rhythm, touch and tempo to make his music agreeable to the fancy and to the judgment at once."
"Podolsky's talents are worthy of exploitation in the artistic holy of holles. After hearing him play the Bach-Liszt Wailing, Crying, Moaning, Sighing and the little- heard "Davidsbueadler Taenz" it was easy to foresee that his career in the United States is assured." The above excerpts from the leading papers of Chicago when Podolsky recently performed there at the Studebaker Theatre speak for themselves.
