YORKSHIRE MUSICAL FESTIVAL 1828. A highly interesting collection of all four programmes for the morning concerts, annotated throughout by the composer and organist Stephen Elvey. He was present at all the morning concerts and has written detailed notes on both performers "not enough command in his voice", and the performances "not together in the last part". Of Mrs Knyvett's singing in the Messiah he writes "Tame, only fit for a contra", although he is later won over "this lady certainly sings the sacred music the best of all." He has also added extra pages noting additions and alterations to the printed programme. A unique first hand interpretation of the festival, by a skilled critic. Bound in quarter vellum c1900, some pages a little creased and dusty.
8vo. York. Blanchard & Clapham [and others]. 1828. £220.00

He died in 1860.
