Two new male singers made their first appearance this year, Donzelli, a tenor of celebrity in Italy, with a powerful voice, which he did not modulate well, and Lablache, a bass of uncommon force and power. His voice was not only of deeper compass than almost any ever heard, but when he chose, absolutely stentorian, and he was also gigantic in his person; yet when he moderated its extraordinary strength, he sung pleasingly and well.
