Reviews

The Globe and Traveller (June 26, 1828): 3.

ARGULL ROOMS.—The Concert at these rooms yesterday morning, for the purpose of aiding the funds now raising to build a Catholic chapel and parochial school at Dungarvon, in Ireland, was attended by but a scanty audience, although there is not, we understand, reason to apprehend that the subscriptions will fall short of the reasonable expectations entertained. The performances were, however, of a nature we should have conceived would prove very attractive, comprising a large proportion of the musical talent to be found in the Metropolis at this season, both native and foreign, vocal and instrumental. There was a beautiful Aria of Caraffa’s sung by Madame Pasta, which demands our particular notice, the Fantasia on the Piano-forte by Moscheles, with accompaniments, in which several of the most popular Irish airs were appropriately introduced, was received with great applause: as was Mr. Platt’s Obligato performance upon the horn. Braham’s “Battle of the Angels” was sung with great spirit. The performances concluded with two melodies by the Rayner family.

BRAHAM’S ‘Battle of the Angels’ was sang with great spirit. The performances concluded with two melodies by the RAYNOR family. We are informed, that the principal Artistee gave their services gratuitously; a pious liberality, which will, we trust, should any of them meet “the inevitable hour” within the Parish of Dungervon, cause some relaxation of the severity of Catholic discipline, and procure for them, children of Satan though they be, a more peaceful sepulchre than TALMA was allowed.

ARGYLL ROOMS.

A Concert was given yesterday morning at these Rooms, in aid of funds for building a Catholic Chapel at Dungarvon, in Ireland, and the musical treat prepared merited a more numerous assemblage of company, Madame CARADORI’s Una voce was a delightful specimen of her vocal abilities; and Miss BACON, in an air by CIMAROSA, displayed powers of voice, with a correct taste, which may justly tank her among the first of our native vocalists, Madame PASTA’s Il soave  is too well known to require comment. The duet La ci darem (in German), by Monsieur and Madame SCHUTZ, was an extremely pleasing performance. BRAHAM and PHILLIPS were very successful in a pretty ballad by PARRY, “Flow gently Deva,” and Miss GRADDON’s Echo Song, accompanied by NICHOLSON, was perfectly performed his Recollections of Ireland in most brilliant and admirable style, and PLATT displayed great powers of execution and command of his instrument in a solo on the Horn, in which he appropriately introduced the beautiful Irish melody of “Erin go bragh.”
