Letter from Lady Elizabeth Compton to [her stepdaughter-in-law] Elizabeth Compton, Countess of Northampton, 21 November 1734 Sr John Rushout who is gone out of town will be able to tell your Lady much more than I can, as also about Farinelli he having much more judgment in Musick. All I can say is I think he is charming. A Scholar of Mr Gates’s, Beard, (who left the Chappell last Easter) shines in the Opera of Covent Garden & Mr Hendell [Handel] is so full of his Praises that he says he will surprise the Town with his performances before the Winter is over. |
