Benefit Concerts FOR THE SEASON 1826.

Mr. Moscheles’, ‒ Friday, April 7th, at the Argyll Rooms.

Mr. Moscheles performed a new MS. concerto, by Hummel; and a fantasia of his own, entitled The Recollections of Ireland, with orchestral accompaniments, composed for the occasion. Both of these were much applauded, but the latter, in which some beautiful Hibernian airs are introduced, excited the most lively pleasure. The overture to Euryanthe, and two vocal pieces from the Freischütz ‒ sung by Madame Caradori [Sie sang keine Arie aus dem Freischütz, sondern Webers Lodoiska-Einlagearie.] and Mr. Braham ‒ were performed under the direction of M. von Weber. Mr. Lindley played a solo; M. Fürstenau some variations on the flute, and M. Kiesewetter a fantasia on the violin. There was also some good vocal music, and the room was crowded to excess.
