Reviews

The Morning Post (July 8, 1823): 1.

The splendid suite of rooms in Mrs. West’s residence in Bryanstone-square were last night thrown open for the accommodation of this favourite singer, and the fashionable audience who assembled on the occasion to enjoy the display of her powers and a variety of the first Performers. Amongst these were CAMPORESE, RONZI DE BEGNIS, GARCIA, CURIONI, MISS STEPHENS, and others of equal celebrity, On the Flute was Mr. NICHOLSON; the Messrs. LINDLEY on the Violoncello, and the unrivalled MOCHELLES on the Pianoforte. With these attractions a most delightful musical treat was enjoyed by those present. The favourite piece of the evening was a French Romance of exceeding sweetness, composed and executed by CARADORI. In this she was twice encored. Miss STEPHENS was encored in “Sweet Home,” a beautiful production of BISHOP’s. It was remarked that CARADORI acquired herself of an English song with the accent of a native.
