Reviews

The Morning Post (May 16, 1831): 3.

MR. MORALT’S CONCERT.— SATURDAY MORNING.

Generally speaking there is but little difference in the Benefit Concerts; the performers are anxious to introduce those compositions that please the public most. On this occasion, however, there waS one great novelty, a Solo on the viola (tenor violin) by Mr. MORALT, who executed it in a most elegant and finished manner; there were no skips and hops, but true legitimate bowing and stopping, added to a rich, mellow, and correct intonation. 

MOSCHELES performed his Recollections of Denmark, with his accustomed mastery; BOEHM, a Solo on the flute, and WRIGHT the sweet melody of ’Tis the last Rose of Summer, with variations on the harp, with great applause. 

Madame STOCKHAUSEN gave Oh dolce concento, with variations, brilliantly, and she was as brilliantly accompanied by NICHOLSON, so that it became doubtful to which to award the palm. Mrs. KNYVETT sang Let the bright Seraphim, in excellent style; she was admirably supported by HARPER on the trumpet, as was Miss LLOYD by WILLMAN’S clarionet, in Gratias Agimus; Miss CRAMER sang Voi che sapete, and a new Ballad by ATTWOOD, with great taste. PARRY, jun. was encored in an Irish Ballad, Norah the pride of Kildare, accompanying himself on the harp. Two Glees, HORSLEY’S, See the chariot at hand, and KNYVETT’S My love is like a lily, were beautifully sung by Mrs. KVYVETT, SALE, W. KNYVETT, and VAUGHAN; the latter Gentleman performed HAYDN’S In native worth, in the sacred style. 

An apology was made for Mr. PHILLIPS, who was engaged at the Duchess or St. ALBAN’S; after Crudel perche, by Miss LLOYD and PARRY, jun., God save the King was sung [sic] with great applause, and concluded this excellent Concert, which we are happy to state was very numerously attended.

MR. MORALT’S,

At the Opera Concert Room, Saturday Morning,

May 14th.

A good English concert. The novelty was an Adagio and Polonaise, by Kuffner, played by Mr. Moralt on the viola, or tenor-violin, and the first instance of the kind that we recollect ever to have met with. Two good glees were well sung: Mrs. W. Knyvett gave ‘Let the bright Seraphim,’ accompanied by Harper. Madame Stockhausen and Miss Cramer, Messrs. Vaughan, H. Phillips, &c., also assisted; and Messrs. Moscheles, Böhm, and Wright, played fantasias on their respective instruments. We were much gratified to see so full a room as was assembled on this occasion. Mr. Moralt led, and Mr. Cramer conducted.
