William Gardiner in London - early 19th Century
from Music and Friends: Or, Pleasant Recollections of a Dilettante, page 694:
At Mr. Wessel's German soirée I heard some songs of Shobert, a new author. His 'Erl King,' sung by Madame Schroeder, and accompanied on the piano-forte by Madame Dulcken, certainly was a most terrific thing of its kind. The alarming intonation of the vocalist, and the awful thunder which the pianist threw into the bass, had a dramatic effect purely German.
