PRINCE GALITZINI CONCERT FOR GARIBALDI.
This concert took place yesterday at St. James's-
Though its announcement did not, u we ex-
pected it would have done, MI the ball to over-
flowing, yet the audience was large, and many distin-
guished persons were present. Prince Galitsin„ on present-
ing himself in the orchestra in the capacity of conductor of
the concert, was received with loud and prolonged accla-
mation.. He is a man of • striking aspect ; tall, stout,
and portly, with a headman and noble meatenance, end
au air of great dignity. He conducted the performances
with the skill of • practised musician, wielding his bates of
command with issiorkslits grace, sad besting the measure
with very great else,, and precision. Altogether, this
high-turn onager did ma disappoint the expectations of
those who were led by his illustrious name—which is •
household word sums musical amateurs—to look at him
with curiosity sod interest.
The concert coseirlea wholly of Russian music, unknown
in this country, but adoelaied to give • high Wait fee
Mae of the art in Mei country. Several of the pisses we.
composed by Prince GOWN and showed hint to be—not •
mere amateur, but a Mamma ',ruskd d mow
prim sad peat iseheimi smakements. A chants, " Swift
Merle," which cipmed the comert, was • picas of sockets*•
tin! harmony, 'godly remarloble for purity of style and
pyridsur of amt. Them was, too, • charming Romans*
with an oblipthe accompaniment for the violoncello, sag
by Madams SabakmDolby and accompanied by N. Bad
Dousy,wbich eachsated the audience; and there wan, lastly,
• wilts for the orchestra, which, in rigour, brilliancy, and
Easterly treatment, reminded us of the best thiap
of poor Jullien. In short, this illustrious amateur
showed himself a master of every style of music.
Besides their compositions of Prince Galitzin, there
1 were several superb choral pieces of Bortaiansky, •
composer whose renown has reached this country, sod
whose music ought to be better known among us ; and there
were two specimens of Glinka, a famous dramatic composer
of the day ; one, ► beautiful trio from a Russian opera,
sing by Mir Louisa Pyne, Signor Mongini, and Mr. P•tey ;
sad the other a mazurka, played with remarkable grace and
brilliancy by Miss Arabella Goddard. Though the concert con.
tinted of modern compositions, they were, for the most part,
strongly marked with the Russian national character, a cir-
cumstance which enhanced their interest. The perform-
moss were received with the greatest enthusiasm ; most of
them, indeed, were encored, and at the conclusion Prince
Galitzin retired from the orchestra amidst thunders of ap-
plause from all puts of the hall.
