Mr. Moscheles’s concert, on the 7th, was very numerously and fashionably attended, and must have produced him a handsome benefit. With the exception of Mad. Bonini, all the principal performers promised in the bills actually made their appearance, and thus the concert proved one of the most satisfactory that we have lately been in the habit of witnessing in this respect. The chances are generally that two out of three first-rate, or self-fancied first-rate, singers (agreeably to the present system) do not attend, but dismiss with an apology a room or a theatre full of company, who have paid their money to hear them. We never heard Moscheles to greater advantage; it seemed as if, not satisfied with having reached the highest pitch in execution and in bravura, he now strove to be also foremost as a player of feeling. The fantasia, Recollections of Ireland, one of his happiest compositions, he played in a manner than which it is hardly possible to conceive any thing more finished.
