The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-11-13

MUsICAL.-It will be observed by the advertise
ment in another place, that Madame Ines Fabbri,
assisted by Signori Stigel and Formes, will give
grand concert at the Assembly Rooms on Thurs
day evening next The gentlemen named have so
frequently and so acceptably been heard here that
particular account of them is rendered unneces-
sary at this time. With Madame Fabbri the case
is different, as she will make her debut before
Baltimore audience on this occasion, and some
description of her powers and capabilities is there
fore necessary. We condense, then, for the benefit
of our readers the opinion of the critic of the New
York Albion, journal which never descends to
mere pufery, and which has keen and sensitive
taste in matters relating to art. Speaking of
Fabbri, this journal says:
"Madame Fabbri's debut in La Traviata was un-
quali6edly triumphant. What are her especial
merits? These: she can sing better than any pure
ly dramatic artist who has ever been III this coun-
try and her voice is equal to any six of her prede-
cessors 1t is of astonishing volume and the rarest
quality. To speak briefly and clearly, she is not
only remarkable singer, but astonishing ac-
tress. Her voice is a pure soprano, particularly
rich in the upper part and scarcely less opulent in
the lower. She has special vocal excellencies, such
as the tril shake, the clear execution of the as
cending scale, ard the knowledge how to use the
mezzo coce-the latter rare gift, more rarely ap
preciated. Facility is not generally Characters
is nevertheless the exception to this rule and re-
markabe in this respect. In the third act of Err
mani, her voice rolled out in such magnificent vol
umes that after being called out twice, the finale
had to be repeated"
Such is the judgment of one of the best critics of
New York, and we may remark that it is confirmed
by the unanimous judgment of the writers of that
city and Boston. The latter are particularly hard
to please, but they admitted, after hearing Fabbri
that New York judgment for once right. In
South America and Havana, also, she created the
greatest excitement, and after a two years cam
pagn, was parted with, with the greatest reuct-
ance. Mr.. Richard Mulder, pianist of celebrity.
from Brussels, will preside at the piano-forte.
We shall have the opportunity of hearing this
great artste on Thursday right, constituting, with
Formes and Stigelli, the most famous trio in the
world. Seats will be fol- sale to-day at Willig's,
Stoddards and Miller Beschams.
