The Morning Post (June 1, 1825): 3.
MORI’S CONCERT.
The Argyll Rooms literally overflowed with rank, fashion, and beauty, on Monday evening; a vast many persons were obliged to remain in the anti-rooms, where they could hear but little, and see less. Would it not be advisable to throw open the boxes, for we observed only two at three Ladies in some of them, though perhaps they had engaged the whole.
The performance was of the first order: CARADORI gave an aria by MOSCA sweetly; PASTA, GLUCK’S “Che faro” DE BEGNIS and his fair spouse, “Non temer mia bel codetto,” in their best manner ; Miss PATON, Miss GOODALL, VAUGHAN, BEGREZ, and PHILLIPS, exerted themselves successfully; and Miss STEPHENS warbled “Donald” (which was encored), delightfully.
MORI performed a Concerto on the Violin, in which “Di Tanti” was introduced, in the most masterly manner; he also executed a duet with BOCHSA (composed for the occasion by the latter) in a very superior manner. MOSCHELES performed a Concerto on the Pianoforte with all his wonted [*], taste and talents. A Concertante for Flute, Clarionet, Horn, and Bassoon, was beautifully executed by Messrs. NICHOLSON, WILLMAN, SHUNCKE, and MACKINTOSH. The Overture to Freischutz opened the second act, and was repeated, at the unanimous call of the audience. An apology was made for Miss PATON, towards the close of the Concert, she was unable to sing “Jack of Hoseldean,” in consequence of hoarseness under which she laboured. The whole concluded with the Overture to Euryanthe, performed by an Orchestra, composed of the first talent, with the greatest spirit.—Sir G. SMART conducted.
The Quarterly Musical Magazine and Review, vol. VII (June 1825): 203.
The single benefit concerts have scarcely been so numerous this year as formerly, though perhaps the fluctuation is not great, since nearly the same persons have the same claim to public remuneration in this way, communibus annis. As those at the close of their professional career retire, new candidates must arise. The difference of number commonly lies in benefits for individuals upon charitable rather than professional grounds; but the expences of concerts, as they are now organized, have operated to deter persons from such a mode of appeal. Morning concerts have been more frequent. Those of the Messrs. Cramer and Mr. Cianchettini were of this description. Perhaps the best attended and best also so far as the music was concerned, was that of Mr. Mori, on Monday evening, May 30.
