Légende
Jullien's Promenade Concert, at Covent Garden Theatre, 1845. Musical performance in London, conducted by French musician and composer Louis Antoine Jullien: '...as a conductor of symphonies and overtures, Monsieur Jullien's powers are mere moonshine...spare us the St. Vitus's dance in the Pastorale...M. Jullien has not even the melodrama of art in his nature. He is essentially a burlesque and pantomimic. He is the Policinello of conductors, and the very embodiment of extravaganza as a composer'. Promenade concerts were musical performances during which the audience would stroll about while listening to the music. The term derives from the French se promener, 'to walk'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
