Programme Notes: It is not specified whether the duet ‘No, non temer’ refers to the duet ‘Non temer, d’un basso affetto’ from Maometto II or the duet ‘No, non temer’ by Otello. It is most likely that it refers the duet from Otello since Signors Ivanoff and Tamburini sang the duet again on 25 May 1834.

Reviews

The Morning Post (June 9, 1834): 5.

Madame DUCLKEN’S Concert at the King’s Theatre on Saturday was numerously attended. This very clever pianist performed on the occasion a concerto of MENDELSSOHN’S, and the first movement of a concerto of KALKBRENNER’S; she also took part in a grand Concertante for four pianofortes, in which she was assisted by those eminent artists, CRAMER, MOSCHELES, and HERZ. Nothing could exceed the brilliancy and power of this performance, which excited the highest interest and admiration among the audience. GRISI, STOCKHAUSEN, VRUGHT, IVANOFF, TAMBURINI, &c., sustained the vocal portion of the Concert with their usual ability; and MORI and M. BUCHER the instrumental. This latter Gentleman is one of the finest flutists we have heard for a long time, whether as regards expression or execution.

Madame Dulcken’s.

THIS concert, which was under the immediate patronage of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, took place at the great concert room, King’s Theatre, on Saturday last. The room, as is always the case at Madame Dulcken’s concerts, was crowded to excess by a brilliant assemblage of the first rank and fashion, the ladies outnumbering the gentlemen by at least ten to one. The concert, one of the choicest of the season, commenced with Beethoven’s celebrated overture to Prometheus, which was performed in a masterly style. An aria of Panseron’s,—‘Tyrol, qui m’a vu naître,’ was chastely sung by Miss Clara Novello, though we do not give her credit for the selection of it—it is sadly deficient in melody, and has little or no pretension to originality. Kalkbrenner’s new concerto for the pianoforte (first movement) was brilliantly performed by Madame Dulcken. Mr Vrugt (premier chanteur de la Chambre de S. M. le Rois des Pays-Bas) sang an aria of Beethoven’s entitled ‘Adelaide,’ with considerable sweetness, and purity of style. Mr Vrugt has to contend with great difficulties as a ‘premier chanteur:’ his voice (a weak tenor) is of poor quality, and very limited compass. We were painfully disappointed to find Signor Grisi suffering from the effects of cold and sore throat; she managed, however, to execute the favourite aria ‘Una voce poco fa,’ in a highly finished and chaste style—though in a very subdued tone. The company evidently felt for the fair chanteuse, and rewarded her exertions with liberal applause. The Duo Buffo, by Signori de Begnis, e Giubilei was an inimitable performance, full of genuine humour and entirely free from coarseness and vulgarity. Ivanoff’s ‘Vivi tu,’ was, as usual, a delicious morceau. In the second part, a Mr Alban Croft made his first public appearance, and sang a delightful aria of Bellini’s ‘E serbata, in fine style. His voice is powerful, and of fair compass, but scarcely flexible enough, or of sufficient finish, to give full effect to expressive passages of tenderness and pathos. By particular desire, Madame Dulcken performed Mendelssohn’s concerto on the pianoforte, and was accompanied by the orchestra. It is an extremely shewy and brilliant piece, and displayed the power and variety of fingering; it was one of the most spirited and effective performances we ever remember to have heard. The applause which followed was deafening, particularly from the orchestra. Madame D. is justly entitled to rank as our first pianist. The duetto, ‘Non temer,’ was very finely sung by Tamburini and Ivanoff. Mr Bucher’s grand fantasia on the flute, in which he introduced Paganini’s air of ‘Le Streghe,’ with variations excited the utmost surprise and delight. Madame Stockhausen’s new Swiss air was highly applauded. The grand Concertante for four pianofortes was a very effective and finished performance: the difference of style of the four great professors was clearly and distinctly marked: Cramer’s a firm and chase style of touch only, to equal the others; and Madame Dulcken combining, in a pre-eminent degree, the beauties of the trio in her own splendid performance. The grand quatuor, which was loudly and deservedly applauded, terminated this delighted concert.
