Performance Notes"...The war has, of course, depleted the society's ranks; indeed, itc ould hardly be otherwise. Yet one missed but little of the warmth and fulness of tone which has always characterised the singing of this famous company, and nothing whatever of the firmness and precision."
(The Telegraph, 3 January 1916)
