MR. AND MADAME STOCKHAUSEN’S CONCERT.

This Concert took place last night at Sir G. WARRENDER’s residence, and was very fully and elegantly attended. M. STOCKHAUSEN performed a fantasia on the Harp in very able style, and a duet with MORI, in which the latter was as admirable as usual. Madame STOCKHAUSEN sang two new Swiss Airs with all the taste and neatness for which she is so celebrated. The purity and flexibility of her voice are peculiarly suited to the above description of music, but the powers of this accomplished vocalist are not less adapted to the grand Italian style. Her duet with MALIBRAN was a beautiful specimen of vocal excellence on both sides. The blending of the voices was exquisitely effective, and for precision and harmony might be compared to the double stops of a violin. Mr. PARRY, jun. sung [sic] with great taste and feeling the ballad Weep not, dear Ellen, accompanying himself on the Harp; in voice and style he resembles PHILLIPS more than any other singer. The newly introduced terzettino, Va da si, was given with much comic force by DE BEGNIS, CURIONI and Mademoiselle BLASIS, who as usual caused the whole audience to join in a chorus of laughter. CURIONI sang his part very facetiously. The piece was warmly encored. Mr. and Mrs. KNYVETT sang Qual anelante with pleasing effect. A memorable performance distinguished this Concert; viz. a quartett on two pianofortes, by the four first performers of the age, HUMMEL, CRAMER, MOSCHELES, and Mrs. ANDERSON; the two former taking the lead at their respective instruments. They performed the Overture to Anacreon, arranged by HUMMEL, and it is needles to add that the effect was most superb. The interest excited was, of course, great, and such a combination may perhaps never be witnessed again. HUMMEL, also delighted his auditory with an extemporaneous performance; but so elaborate and complicated that it would have been considered honourable as the result of long study. In execution, the greatest intricacies and difficulties of the instrument appear to be as familiar to the eminent musician as the simple rudiments of the art. We have not space to enter more at length into the performances, which, as a whole, afforded the highest gratification.
