Mr. JOHN CRAMER'S Concert, yesterday morning, attracted an overflowing audience.
The selection of music was such as might be expected from a musician whose purity of taste is one of his mest distinguishing qualities ; but the principal feature of the concert consisted of own exquisite performance. He played his "Reminiscences of Scotland," his noble Concerto inC minor, and a Duetto Concertante with FIELD; and, in every one of these pieces, he showed his delighted audience that he is in the fullest possession of his powers. Fortunately for the musical world, they are not of a kind that is liable to early decay. They do not consist in tours de force, or feats of physical strength and agility. So long as CRAMER retains his exquisite refinement of style, his delicacy and tenderness of feeling, and that indescribable some- thing that makes his mere touch thrill to the heart of his hearer, so long will he be a great, an enchanting performer. The enthu- siasm of the audience, which contained the elite of the musical world, was boundless.
