Wilhelm Ganz in St James's Hall - 1877
from Memories of a Musician: Reminiscences of Seventy years of Musical Life, page 132:
In the next season (1877) I performed the
overture to Wagner's Meistersinger and his
Huldigungs Marsch, which he dedicated to King
Louis of Bavaria. These works were not then
much known in London and they attracted a
large audience. Herr Arnim von Boehme, from
Dresden, sang " Siegmund's Liebeslied " from
Die Walkiire, and a young English singer, Miss
Elene Webster, " Elizabeth's Prayer " from
Tannhduser. I also gave the Flying Dutchman
overture.
