AN OPINION or JENNY LIND.-Madame Levert,
of Mobile whose elegant hospitality at home (says
the New York Espress) is equal to her matchless
attractiveness while visitor to section of the
country, has written in the Tribune sparkling
(though not an all.just) critque upon the singing
Of Jenny Lind. We make a single extract
Her Italian music is rendered with science and
the artistic skill Of perfect musician. Wonder is
excited at the remarkable power Of her clarion like
voice; the tones are delightful, but they do not
warm the heart. Like the aurora borealis of
northern chimes, it 10 exquisite in its beauty but it
10 cold moonlight upon the snow. Hence, in
Italian music, I would not style her the "Queen Of
Song;" but in the melodies of her native land, in
the wild music Of Germany, she is pre- eminent,
and reaches heights unattainable by any but her.
self. In the uniqueness, in the sparkling bright
ness Of her own music, there is perfection which
no other vocalist has ever approached Il is ire
sis.ibly charming. Apure and gentle feeling pos
voice come upon the senses like the falling Of the
rain drops-like the moonlight Of summer-like
the breeze FROM southern seas. Her music never
awakens passionate emotions in the ssul, induces
tho pulses wild play Its influence is soothing
and refned.'
