“Mr. Gottschalk, whose name is talismanic to draw crowds of admirers, has been giving two concerts, this week, to brilliant audiences at the Irving Hall. To-night, he will give another concert, and show the taste and skill which have made him equally renowned in Europe and America. It exhibits most forcibly the strides of American musical art to see the most admired vocalist, Miss Adeline Patti, and the most admired pianist, Mr. Gottschalk, both of native birth.”
“Gottschalk’s three concerts sung the past week have been fully attended.”
To say that Gottschalk gave three concerts is to say that three crowds and three successes were at Irving Hall. Gottschalk’s popularity is recognized again each time he returns to New York and the public doesn’t weary of hearing this talent which, as it is known, has the secret of remaining always new and original. The eminent pianist, moreover, had the happy idea of grouping around him, in each of his concerts, some new artists who add the attraction of rarity, all the while profiting themselves from the reflected light that popular fame casts onto the glimmers of what they produce. It’s thus that we have become acquainted this week with a remarkable baritone, M. Campbell, and with a soprano who promises a lot, Mlle Vivier. We have also seen again at Gottschalk’s side Mlle Barnetche, who made her first campaign last year on a similar occasion and since then has already left her mark among the elite pianists.
