Elizabeth (Bessy) Moore et al. in Paris - 1 March, 1822
from Memoirs, Journal and Correspondence of Thomas Moore, page 330:
Dined with the Villamils, and they, and I and Bessy, went to Miss Corrie’s concert: bad enough, except a few very touching bars in Benazet’s violoncello, and Madame Fodor’s song from the “Barbiere.” Amor possente is the name of the beautiful duet from “Armida,” in which there are such affecting passages.

Notes
Moore's mention of the aria 'Amor possente' suggests that he might have heard that piece also at the concert, but he is not specific in his reference.
