Légende

National Concerts at Her Majesty's Theatre [London] - the Berlin Choir, 1850. 'The pure and excellent quality of the voices, the classical excellence of the style, the marvellous precision in taking up the points, the perfect intonation, the exactitude of the time, the beautiful blending of the whole in the swelling and diminishing of the gorgeous harmonies, quite electrified the auditory...The Choir consists of seventy voices in Berlin. It is sustained at the sole expense of the King of Prussia. The boys who are admitted in the choir are instructed in composition, or they may select an instrument for practice, in order, if their voices should be lost, that a resource may be open for their subsistence...The Choir...sing a capella - that is, without any instrumental accompaniment'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
