Review

The Bath Chronicle (December 8, 1842): 3.

SECOND GRAND SUBSCRIPTION CONCERT.—This magnificent musical banquet, which took place at the Assembly Rooms on Tuesday evening, was graced with a most numerous company, composed of the élite of our city. The musical attractions were a scale of such liberality and surpassing excellence that the attendance was not to wondered at. The large room was completely full. The announcement of performers of such distinguished professional celebrity as these engaged for the occasion could not fail to draw an overflowing audience. It was a just meed of public favour to the spirited efforts of the caterer of the feast to render it worthy of the taste the times. The Concert opened with Mendelssohn’s fine overture, “The Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which the band, comprising a host of talent, directed by Mr. H. C. Cooper, gave effect. Callcott’s glee, “With sighs, sweet rose,” sung by Miss M. B. Hawes, Mr. Pyne, Mr. B. Taylor, and Mr. Machin, was         t ably sung, and elicited an encore. Miss Hawes shone conspicuously in it. This highly-gifted lady also exhibited her great powers to great advantage in several songs, which called forth a profusion of richly-deserved plaudits, and in two instances she was encored. Mr. E. Loder’s naval song, “The British Anchor,” was sung by Mr. Machin in very excellent style. The company was next favoured with the performance of Madame Caradori Allan, whose appearance in the orchestra was hailed with rapturous applause. Her eminent vocal accomplishments were well brought out in the first piece which she sang the present occasion. It was Donizetti’s Ana, “In questo semplici,” in which the richness of her tones, and the facility with which she adapted them to the character of the composition, gave her audience a fair opportunity of judging and appreciating the capabilities of this celebrated artiste. The showers plaudits which followed her performances in this and other pieces evinced the warmest predilection for her efforts. She was encored in several of her songs. M. Moscheles. and Mr. Esain, the pianists, exhibited, on two superb instruments, extraordinary specimens of genius. Moscheles’ grand extemporaneous Fantasia on one of Erard’s piano-fortes was a masterly exemplification of the power of the instrument and the powers of the performer. The vocal part of the Concert is concluded up by Costa’s Quartett, “Ecco quel fiero instante,” sung by Madame C. Allan, Miss Hawes, Mr. B. Taylor, and Mr. Martin; it went off in excellent style. The Grand Finale (instrumental) brought up the close with admirable effect. The musical public are under great obligations to Mr. H. Simms for this splendid entertainment, the great success of which augurs most satisfactorily for the remaining Concerts of the series.
