Wilhelm Ganz in Harley Street - 1886
from Memories of a Musician: Reminiscences of Seventy years of Musical Life, page 103:
At my concert in 1886, given at my residence
in Harley Street, Isidore de Lara, who was
then the rage, sang one of his own popular
compositions. He was the first singer to make
a special feature of sitting down to the piano
and accompanying himself at concerts. He used
to gaze round the room when singing, and wear
a very intense expression, which charmed his
fair hearers.
