William Gardiner in London - early 19th Century
from Music and Friends: Or, Pleasant Recollections of a Dilettante, pages 693-694:
At a soirée in Berkeley House I was much gratified by a... display of skill on the violoncello by Lord Arundel, when accompanying the Honourable Henry Berkeley on the piano-forte. Nothing came amiss; he occasionally touched all the parts with an address that quite delighted me...
... After this, we had some excellent vocal music in which the Lady Mary Berkeley and Lord Segrave took a part. His lordship has one of the best-defined bass voices I ever heard, and sang the music in 'Macbeth' with a solid accuracy seldom heard in professors.
