Reviews
Gore’s General Advertiser (December 27, 1827): 3.
MUSIC HALL.—The third Subscription Concert was given last evening. A strong array of musical talent had been announced, and amongst the number was the celebrated pianist, Moscheles Miss Eliza Paton made a first appearance here, and was received in a most flattering manner; her singing has a great deal of the character of her highly talented sister. Mrs. Atkinson (late Miss Goodall) and our old favourite Mr. Phillips were the other vocalists. Mori, as well as Moscheles, adorned the list of instrumental performers. There perhaps has never been witnessed within the walks of our Music-hall, a more extra ordinary performance than the Concertante between those two celebrated instrumentalists. Moscheles played also a Fantasia in the first part. The audience applauded with enthusiasm. The concert was among the best we have witnessed for a considerable period.

MUSIC-HALL.
The concert at our Music-hall on Tuesday last was excellent, both in the vocal and instrumental departments, and we have great satisfaction in bearing our testimony to the merits of the orchestra, as we were compelled to pronounce a very different judgment upon a late occasion. Mrs. Atkinson, late Miss Goodall, deservedly obtained great applause; and she fully established a fact, if it required proof, that a female may have a voice after marriage. We trust that it will not be insinuated that we mean, more than “meets the ear.”
Miss Eliza Paton, sister to Lady Lenox, possesses all the requisites for an excellent singer, and, with sedulous practice, and modification of’ the upper tones, she bids fair to equal her sister. If we be permitted to whisper in the ear of so young a lady, we should remind her of Hamlet’s caution to the players,
“And do not mouth it, as some players do.”
The habit of “pulling faces,” to use the common phrase, detracts very much from the effect either of a singer or an actress; and we would, continuing Shakspeare’s [sic] hint, add—
“I pray you, avoid it.”
When we say that Mr. Phillips never sung better, we conceive that we can pay no higher compliment to a singer who, for quality of voice, and correctness of ear, has few equals.
Mr. Moscheles’s finished and astonishing fantasia on the piano-forte delighted every hearer. It must be superfluous to say much about a performer of such universally recognised celerity; but we must not omit to state, that, independent of the performance, the music was a great rarity, and deserves to be classed with those whimsical specimens in which men of fancy and genius occasionally indulge. It is not an usual thing to have two separate airs, as it were, grafted upon each other, as in Haydn’s celebrated Movement, in one variation of which the bass takes up the theme, whilst the treble is engaged on a pleasing and totally distinct melody.
Mr. Moscheles, however, contrived to interlace three separate melodies, of distinct character, into beautifully harmony. After treating his audience with little tasteful snatches of “The Last Rose of Summer,” “St. Patrick’s Day,” and “Garry Owen,” he combined them all together, playing two of the airs himself, and leaving the third to the orchestra. He was long, enthusiastically, and most deservedly cheered. And here we must bring our hasty editorial comments to a close, as we were obliged to quit the concert-room during the first act. We are assured, however, by a musical friend, upon whose judgement we can depend, that the concert was uniformly excellent. Mr. Mori’s concerto was in his usual finished style; and the concertanto duet between him and Mr. Moschelles was, we are assured, equal to any thing ever heard in the Music-hall, or elsewhere.
We hear also, what we can readily believe, that “Blow, gentle Gales,” sung by Mrs. Atkinson, Miss E. Paton, and Mr. Phillips, quite enraptured the audience. We must not omit to add, that our friend was particularly pleased with Mr. Weiss’s flute accompaniment to Miss E. Paton’s song of “Lo! Hear the gentle Lark.”

MORI and MOSCHELES have been performing at the Liverpool Subscription Concerts with the greatest possible success; their Concertante Duet for the violin and pianoforte was perfection itself. The principal vocalists were Mrs. ATKINSON, (late Miss GOODALL), Miss. E. PATON and PHILLIPS, who sung delightfully.
