Overture, La Clemens° slink Mozart: Ortim Symphonies, Beethoven's in D alone captivated the hearer. It pos- sesses- the true qualities.of permanence.. Natural beauty and closeness of thinking; and thus it is ever one of the freshest efforts of the master. 0st:dew-appears much-at te loss in the orchestra. His:symphony is a com- bination of quick fiddling-and vigorous tromboning, well calculated to dis- play the nice execution of the Parisian Conservatoire in the production of a good' ensemble, and delightful to the lover of noise; but in which music, and above all the dignity-of the symphony, is entirely to seek. Happy is that artist who- knows his-own path- and keeps 41. We have assisted at the funeral of many symphonies, mourning rather, we confess,. for our fate in hearing them -than for the music, which it was manifest should be " quietly inurned"; but it excites more than ordinary sympathy to antici- pate oblivion for a production of the meritorious Onslow. Yet die it must and will, with the other sioklrchildren of-the:age, leaving the stage clear far-the classical masters-and the. genius aset to come. Madame Dulcken was covered and utterly-extinguished by the brass instruments during a-great pertorher new Concerto. We saw her very in- dustriously playing octaves; but iteferhearing them, the noise of Mr. Alvars' score absolutely defied- it. Of 'the. three- Concertos by this-composer that have been produced' at the Philharmonic—two fbr the Map; and• one f61", the Pianoforte—the. first, in- G minor, is the best in point of clearness,„ fancy, ingenuity of construction, and in the harmonizing. The two pro- duced during the present season have more pomp and pretension of atylt,T; but-are inferior in solid merit: The Concerto of M. Vienxtemps exhibited him to greater-advantage-three' anything he has yet produced before this audience. Although he wants the fancy and elegance of De Beriot, his music wassufficientlyariose- and pleasing, on this occasion. We-were not detained, as before, among tunable and grandiose harmonies, while the composer is waiting for an ideas; ha) went straight to work. Estimated by the highest models of his art, Vieurie.- temps is remarkable chiefly for his admirable-tone, mechanism, and brostli; style of playing. The pliability of his bow arm, the immense-number or , notes which he is able to play staccato in one bow, and his command- of ar. variety of mechanical difficulties, excite admiration; but the poetry of his. instrument—the captivating sweetness and grace with which we have heard' it invested=is absent: He is an uncommonly-groat performer, but indif- ferently-organized by nature:as a: musician. His expression- is of a some- what conventional cast—not the offspring of profound sensibility, The admirable points of his performance -on this occasion were however; tiro" roughly appretiatedby the audience. It is impossible to conceive more disastrous failures than, the: vocal rhetoric in the first part.. Miss Poole has merit-on the Drury Lane.boards; and, if her vocal talent had been classically and thoroughly cultivated, she might. have appeared with credit at the Philharmonic. But whoever selected her for one of the most refined pieces in the Stolaat, showed- little discretion. Meyerbeer's Trio abounded in comical noises: Mademoiselle, Vera-exlib bited her good. style in the solo from Orfeo; but she wants power ae, al singer with the orchestra, and her shake certainly needs-improvement.
