Jenny Lind, the celebrated Swedish vocalist, 1845. Portrait of the singer: 'Jenny Lind has a voice of extraordinary compass, the only defect in which is a deficiency of volume in the medium portion of the register. Her upper notes are delicious, as clear as a bell, and she warbles with the facility of a nightingale. Whilst her execution is of the most brilliant kind, nothing can approach the exquisite propriety and aptness of her cadenzas; they always come in at the happy moment; she never sacrifices sense to sound...Her shake is perfect - truly marvellous - proving that she must have an intuitive knowledge of her art, as well as the best culture. Her style is full of impulse; or, as the French have it, of abandon. In the absence of all stage trickery or conventionalism may be distinguished this child of genius'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
