Programme Notes: The programme is based on the most recent advertisement which is by The Morning Post on June 28. All previous advertisements advertised Sir George Smart as the conductor, whereas the one on June 28 as Signor Michael Costa. The programme was definitely not identically performed since Mme Malibran-Garcia was not feeling well. One of the reviews also mentions Mlle Blasis as the only female vocalist, whereas the newspapers advertised Miss Childe as well. The programme by The Morning Post on June 28 had also included Miss Oury. Moscheles most probably performed only one movement of his Piano Concerto No.5 like he did in his own concert on June 1.

Reviews

The Morning Post (June 29, 1830): 3.

MR. OURY’S CONCERT.

We have only to say that, considering the state of public feeling, this eminent Violinst’s Concert, yesterday morning, at the Opera Concert Room, was well attended, and the performance, both vocal and instrumental, gave great satisfaction. Madame MALIBRAN was so unwell that she was obliged to be led into the orchestra by DONZELLI and LABLACHE, and placed in a chair while she endeavoured to sing a part of a quartetto. An apology for absence would have been more acceptable to the audience than to witness her pallid looks and trembling hands—as to her voice, it could not be heard.

The Athenæum (July 3, 1830): 412-413.

KING’S CONCERT ROOM, HAYMARKET.

ON Monday last, Mr. Oury’s Concert took place at the above-mentioned room. It was rather well attended, particularly when we consider the abstracting interest relative to the proclamation which pervaded almost all classes on that morning. The selections were in general good. The Concert opened with a violin concerto by Mr. Oury, (stated in the bills as its first performance in this country, but, if we mistake not very much, we have heard him play it before, at least the first movement); it was very decently performed—but nothing short of “very best” will do at present. Mr. Oury’s fault is extreme imitation. He copies De Beriot’s bowing from Example, and Paganini’s from hearsay: his ambition ought to be the attainment of a style of his own. Nevertheless, he is a young man of great promise: his double stopping is good—his tone is sweet and rich—he plays in tune (a most rare virtue in a violin-player), and he loves good music.

The only female vocalist at the Concert, was Madlle. Blasis; for though Mad. Malibran appeared and pretended to sing, she was not audible. If she really were so ill as she appeared to be, it was madness in her to come forward, and cruelty in those around her, to permit her, to do so. There was no apologetic appeal to plead for her indisposition, and, somehow or other, the audience seemed very stony-hearted. Everybody looked as wise, and was as mute as Lord Burleigh, but at the same time shook his head! Lablache and Santini sang their duo from “Il Matrimonio Segreto” with great power, as did Blasis and Begrez their Rossini duet. The entre-acte music—the “Marcia funebre“— independent of its being innately bad, was badly done. Melancholy could never be excited by such a drawling thing. Heraclitus

himself could not extract a tear, even from “the true performance” of it—it is no wonder then that it should make people sleep instead of weep. Mr. Moschelles’ performance at this Concert was very brilliant and effective. We think him improved in style.

The Harmonicon, vol. 8 (August 1830): 353.

Mr. OURY’S,

Same Room, Monday Morning, June 28th.M. Moscheles, Sig. Puzzi, and Mr. Oury, were the principal instrumentalists in this performance. The latter played a brilliant concerto, and also a solo, on the violin. The vocalists were Mad. Malibran, Mdlle. Blasis, Signori Donzelli, Lablache, Santini, &c.
