Event Comment: Oratorio By Particular Desire. Charges: #35 (Account Book). Theatrical Review: His [Duport's] execution is truly masterly, his tone very brilliant, and his taste pleasingly delicate and chaste. What he performs on this instrument is wonderful, when the genius of it is considered. As this celebrated Lady [Sga Sirmen] has been in England some time, her abilities are pretty generally known. Her tone and style of playing is very pleasing, and her execution truly chaste, without any of those unnecessary and extravagant liberties, which the generality of solo players on the Violin too frequently give in to
