Yes, Mendelssohn's triumph at yesterday's performance was something quite unparalleled and unheard of. I think eleven numbers had to be repeated, and that too amid a storm of applause and clapping of hands, demonstrations usually forbidden; but on this occasion all attempt at restraint was hopeless, the noisy scene reminded me of the pit in a theatre. Staudigl was a magnificent Elijah, Philip, the bass singer, admirable, and Mendelssohn was particularly pleased with the singing of the two Misses Williams. |
